When a life is touched by breast cancer, there is a need for support. There’s something so comforting about talking to someone who’s been there. While family and friends can be a wonderful support, speaking with other breast cancer survivors helps patients come to terms with their diagnosis and cope with the emotional concerns that may arise. In the second video podcast of the Health Matters at Work™ series on Women’s Health Issues, Community Health Charities has partnered with Breast Cancer Network of Strength to highlight the opportunities for information and support available for patients with breast cancer and their families.

I want to get a breast cancer tattoo but maybe about 2 inches big. i was thinking by my hip bone or my shoulder blade. but i’m not sure where to put it, help?
places i definately wont get it put : wrist, neck, anywhere on my legs or feet, wrist/arm..

My grandma battled with brest cancer and my other grandma died of it. my mom thought she had breast cancer, but was just a tumor, so i’m very supportive of breast cancer so thats why i want it. i know i wont regret it.

can you also show me some cool pictures of breast cancer tattoos?
please no flowers or anything.. but maybe sayings? or unique ribbons. i saw one that had pink ribbons spelling " hope ".. so i was thinknig of getting one like that, except saying faith, because my grandma always had faith, and she always would say that if it was her time to go, it was her time and everything will be okay in the end. thankfully she’s been brest cancer free for four years now.. (:

sorry I don’t have any better pictures of it…but this is my breast cancer tattoo:
http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/24/l_6a3aeb3f3f2346bbb41325c25620d961.jpg

its directly between my breasts and the primary part of the design is about 2 inches wide by four inches high.

My mom was diagnosed in May and finished her radiation treatments at the end of September. This is her second time beating cancer (she had skin cancer as a teenager) I got it done a week after they told her that it was gone. The reason the design goes more to the left is because that was the breast she had cancer in.

I chose to get mine done between my breasts because of the symbolism and because I figured I could handle the pain since I’ve had other ink done. It was definitely the most painful thing I’ve ever gotten, but totally worth it. It was drawn completely freehand. I’ve known the guy who did it for years though and completely trust him. He’s also going to be doing the memorial sleeve I’m working on for two of my grandparents on my left arm

If you’ve never gotten a tattoo before, it would probably be a good idea for you to get it on your back since its a more fleshy area. Since this is such a highly personal tattoo, I highly recommend that you look at multiple artists’ portfolios before choosing someone to do this, that way you can find someone who can give you exactly what you want.

good luck.

A mammogram is one of the safest ways that is used to check if there is any problem with the breast of a woman. It is actually an x-ray of the breasts, as it involves in using a special and very low dose x-ray machine taking pictures of both breasts.

Effective Method of Preventing Cancer

Mammogram is an effective way of breast cancer prevention, as it is the most reliable procedure to detect early stages of breast cancer.  However, there are some limitations of mammogram. Many cancers may not be detected by mammograms. Such breast cancers can be detected by breast self-exam. This article will guide you in getting ready for your mammogram.

What You Should Watch Out For?

Firstly, you should check the place where you are going to have your mammogram, so that you get to know about any special instructions, which you must follow before you arrive there. You should make the appointment for your mammogram for at least one week after the completion of your period.  This is because your breast generally hurt less during this time. You should make sure that you tell your mammography facility, if you have ever got any type of breast implants.

Things to Remember Before Visiting Mammogram Facility

It is better that you wear a shirt preferably with shorts, skirt or pants. This helps you to undress from the waist up, thus leaving your pants, skirt or shorts on while you are getting your mammogram. It is highly advised that do not use any sort of deodorant, lotion, powder or lotion on your breasts or under your arms on the day you are having your mammogram.

Using these things may result in shadows on your mammogram, as they contain small aluminium particles. You can use cornstarch in place of talcum powder or deodorant, as it does not interfere with the x-ray image. You should not use any sort skin lotions on your breasts, as it can make them slippery. Hence, it will result in a movement during the process and a blurred image may be produced.

What Actually Happens During the Diagnosis Process?

After reaching the clinic, you should undress up to your waist. Try wearing clothes that can be easily removed and has loose fittings. Do not wear a bra on the day. Do not forget to take a hairbrush, so that you can tidy up at the time of redressing. After undressing, you will be asked to put on the hospital gown, opening to the front. The technician will help you in positioning yourself in front of the mammogram machine while standing. While taking the mammogram, your technician will rest each of your breasts on a metal plate, arranging maximum of the breast tissue between the top compression plate and the bottom plate. Your breasts will then be imaged and compressed for various lateral and vertical images.

It is recommended that women, especially those belonging to the upper age limit of 40 years or more, have a mammogram of their breasts done every year. This helps in early detection of breast cancer in one’s breast and ensures proper treatment, which can even cure cancer.
