Detecting Breast Cancer
Detecting Breast Cancer:
The earlier breast cancer is found, the better the chances that alternative breast cancer treatment will work. The goal is to find cancers before they start to cause symptoms. The size of a breast cancer and how far it has spread are the most important factors in predicting the outlook for the patient during alternative breast cancer treatment. Most doctors feel that early detection tests for breast cancer save many thousands of lives each year. Following the guidelines given here improves the chances that breast cancer can be found at an early stage and treated successfully using alternative breast cancer treatment therapies.
Breast Cancer Self-Examination:
Women should be aware of how their breasts normally feel and report any changes to their doctor right away. Finding a change does not mean that you have cancer.
By being aware of how your own breasts feel, you are likely to notice any changes that take place. You can also choose to use a step-by-step approach to checking your breasts on a set schedule. The best time to do breast self-examination (BSE) is when your breasts are not tender or swollen. If you find any changes, see your doctor right away.
Breast Cancer Symptoms:
Alternative Breast Cancer Treatment specialists recommend to be aware of the symptoms of breast cancer at an early age. This can be achieved increasing the knowledge base. While the widespread use of screening mammography has increased the number of breast cancers found before they cause any symptoms, some are still missed.
The most common sign of breast cancer is a new lump or mass. A lump that is painless, hard, and has uneven edges is more likely to be cancer. But some cancers are tender, soft, and rounded. So it's important to have anything unusual checked by your doctor.
Other signs of breast cancer include the following:
+ A swelling of part of the breast
+ Skin irritation or dimpling
+ Nipple pain or the nipple turning inward
+ Redness or scaliness of the nipple or breast skin
+ A nipple discharge other than breast milk
+ A lump in the underarm area

i have dcis and will not have any treatment (conventional).
I think conventional treatment is a failure. I feel that mamograms are invasive and leave radiation in the lump as with myself - i wont have another. I feel a biospy upset the lump and made it extra sensitive. If D.C.I.S. is left with NOTHING, NO BIOPSY, NO MAMOGRAM LEAVING RADIATION IN THE LUMP, IT WOULD DO BETTER ON ITS OWN WITH help by building up the body's resistance. Messing about with lumps in this way is dangerous and this what causes it to turn into cancer. If D.C.I.S. were left i feel it would not be a health problem. My lump since mamo/biospy is tender and burns when i open the oven, proof enough that messing about with it has upset it. I am angery that i allowed these tests to be done and if i know what i know now, i would reject so tampering with it.

DCIS is not cancer. I feel dangers are in mamograms/biospy that upset the lump. I wish i had realised what this does to it before i had it done. carol - uk.
I am keeping my lump as i feel the cure is worst that the problem.
