I was in my twenties when I began to take notice of all the breast cancer stuff that seemed to be everywhere at certain times of the year, and it was around this time that I began to be more conscious of the issue of breast cancer – of all the pink stuff and knowing that it was important to worry about it when you turned 40.

Every time I heard of breast cancer, it was within the context of women getting it at age 40 and over, so did not think I had anything to worry about.

I had been doing my breast exams since I was thirteen; my mother taught me to do them at a young age, but still it never dawned on me that I could actually GET breast cancer, until it happened to me. When my mother had taught me to do my exams, she had explained that even though I barely had breasts, it was important that I know what they felt like, so as they grew and changed, I would know if anything abnormal appeared. Thanks to her education and diligence, 18 years later, when I found the lump, while in the shower, I knew immediately that something was wrong and that I needed to get checked.

2 – Avoid Xenoestrogen Substances

Xenoestrogen substances are a major cause of breast cancer and other female health problems. They are chemical compounds from environmental pollutants. They mimic estrogen and attach to your estrogen receptor sites and cause the endocrine system to dysfunction.

Xenoestrogen Sources
– Commercial meat and dairy products
– Pesticide residues on commercial produce
– Soft plastics
– Microwave cooking in plastic
– Laundry detergents and household cleaning products
– Heavy metals like lead and mercury

Counteracting Xenoestrogen Substances
– Consume more foods like broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale and turnips. Or take a good supplement that’s capable of getting rid of xenoestrogens
– Detox your liver with foods like garlic, onions, cabbage and cauliflower. Or detoxify with supplements or a cleanse designed for removing environmental toxins from the body.

WHAT IS IT, EXACTLY?

Cancer is a malignant growth (tumor) that is exacerbated by uncontrolled, abnormal cell growth that can spread to other parts of the body through the lymphatic system. The abnormal growth is called the tumor; the cells that travel are called metastases. In other words, cells in a specific part of the body begin to grow out of control. Breast cancer forms in the breast tissue, forming a lump or a mass of extra tissue. Even though skin cancer is more commonly diagnosed in women than breast cancer, breast cancer is more universally feared by women than any other cancer known to man.

After all the arguments, I still don’t get it. What do all of those things matter if you get breast cancer at a young age and die because you are unaware of the risks? What do fear, medical costs, long term health issues, and what more harm could it cause if a young woman become metastatic and has to deal with a shortened life span, lack of proper insurance coverage, fertility issues, co-payments, high prescription costs, lack of fertility, physiological, mental and emotional issues and the inability to properly care for her family or pursue her goals and dreams because she has been struck by a silent enemy while she is in her prime?

Also, I wonder, don’t these young women have the right to life? That means that they need to be given the proper tools to make proper decisions about their health. That means that although it is a small population, these young women are not just numbers, they are individuals whose lives matter, as much as those in the majority.

The thing is, these young women can and do survive if they are aware and find their lumps in time. At the very least, if a young woman never got a breast lump or other symptom, she could be an advocate amongst her peers, friends, family and in the community.

The EARLY Act, introduced by Rep. Wasserman Schultz, would support this type of awareness and education. The bill has more than 360 cosponsors in the House and more than 36 in the Senate. It would fund a national education campaign on breast cancer and young women. The educational campaign would reach out to young adult women and also to physicians. It would not only educate young women and the communities in which they live, the bill would also help young women who have breast cancer get social and psychological support. The EARLY Act will encourage young women to 1) learn the facts; 2) know their bodies; 3) speak up for their health; and 4) embrace support. The draft bill calls for expenditures of $9 million per year from 2010 to 2014. Similar to other early detection and screening programs, it is simply an educational tool, and a powerful one, as it could change the lives of many young women nationally and maybe on a global scale.

It’s true that only a small percentage of young women get breast cancer. However, we tend to have higher mortality rates. Our futures grind to a halt: Our careers are put on hold, the disease may affect our ability to bear children, and we have to deal with problems such as under-insurance, along with challenges to our long-term health that arise from more aggressive treatments.

Does it hurt young women to inform them about breast cancer? What would be more harmful – arming them with education, awareness and lifesaving tools life, or leaving ignorant of a disease that could rob them of their future? Without awareness, how would younger women know what to look for? Without awareness how could we push our doctors to take us more seriously when we go to them with a lump or, in some cases, with excruciating pain.

My 6-year-old daughter told someone the other day, “My mommy and I are breast cancer survivors”. My eyes filled with tears. It’s been nearly three years and she is just now beginning to vocalize how she feels and what she went through. We need the new programs of the EARLY Act to address the psychological and social needs that younger women and younger families have, which are often different from those of women 40 and over.

5 – Switch from Mammography to Thermography

Avoid mammograms and consider thermography instead. I know this sounds a bit radical. But do some research on mammograms vs. thermograms. Thermography can detect abnormalities at the cellular level which could be 10 years before you might otherwise notice them and there is no harm done to sensitive breast tissue.

Mammogram x-rays increase your risk of cancer. A typical mammogram of both breasts will expose you to 2,720 RADs (Radiation Absorbed Dose) that’s 8 pictures at 340 RADS each. And they encourage us to get a mammogram every year. The non-direct natural radiation that we as humans absorb every year is only 300 RADs. There are times when x-rays are necessary, but if there is a safer and effective alternative to routine yearly mammograms, why not check it out?

There is lots of money raised every year in support of finding a cure for breast cancer, which is great. But I wish there was more of a focus on educating women on how to prevent breast cancer. Because it all boils down to good nutrition and making healthy choices. By adopting these lifestyle changes in our life, we’d not only prevent breast cancer, but we would prevent all kinds of other illnesses and diseases as well you can be published without charge.
