???? It's all the same. Most people in my experience just call it breast cancer. I'm a four year survivor and have several close friends and relatives who are also breast cancer survivors.
2 :
Those are all common names. What really matters is the pathological description of the biopsy. Most breast carcinomas are adenocarcinomas. The general name is not the important thing. The specific characteristics of the malignant breast cancer cells are important - the receptors, the degree of differentiation, nodal status, primary tumor size, overall stage. Breast cancers - and all types of cancer - are complicated. The oncologist will probably try to explain these details for the individual case you are asking about. It can be difficult for a non medical specialist to understand it all.

What do you say to someone who is against Breast Cancer? or breast cancer awareness
What do you say to someone who is against Breast Cancer? or breast cancer awareness?
Just a simple question.. what would you say to someone who is all against it? I use to have a email written by a guy that I can't seem to find now, I would like to send that to her but i can't find it and it was a good story. So what would you say to someone who thinks breast cancer or breast cancer awareness is dumb? thanks everyone for the answers.. it just really gets to me on this topic. My grandma died of breast cancer and when someone says stupid crap.. I just get all mad and frustrated.

Nothing, I would ignore them. I get tired of all the 13 year olds with developing breasts thinking they have cancer, but there just needs to be a more nuanced awareness program.
4 :
It is terrible that someone would think that. I personally would say that it is the number one killer of woman and it affects A LOT of woman. Think if it were their cousin, sister, mother, wife, aunt, child. It is something that affects most families here in American. Almost everyone in the country can say that they know, or know of someone who has had it, has it or has died from it. I am 19 and I was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, a pediatric cancer, and I used to get jealous that Breast Cancer got so much attention whereas pediatric cancers were almost put on the back burner. It made me sick because there are so many LITTLE kids that have cancer and that die so so young and at least the woman with breast cancer got to live some of their lives. I felt this way especially when a close friend, a 3 year old had died after battling cancer since he was 18 months old. It made me sick. I now realize that the reason it gets so much attention is because it is more and more common everyday. I just saw on the news the other day that an 11 year old was diagnosed with BC. How is that possible. Does she even have boobs yet?!? It is sickening to think that there has to be a reason for this. There HAS to be something we can do to stop it. Something caused this to become and outburst and we need to figure out what. Is it too much radiation in the air, the pollution? We need to desperatly figure it out. I hope your friend comes around and realizes that the people going through this need the support. The more support, the more funds they have to find a cure.

Unfortunately you can't say much to an idiot who has their head up their A_ _ if that is the way they think. But I would challenge them where they got the information they know about flu, colds, pain, medications, etc. unless it was through some sort of awareness. Where did the polio, small pox, chicken pox, measles, malaria, etc. shots come from if it wasn't for awareness to those diseases? What about the areas of diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, etc. and then there is the black plague, black lung, asbestos, etc. if it wasn't for awareness? This one person doesn't seem to understand until we are better aware and know more about what we have, confront, or encounter we can go blindly moving forward into the path of death or the disease. One last thought it wasn't until years after the radiation from the atomic bombs that we learned about the affects of radiation just as well as we are still learning about the affects of Agent Orange. So awareness is keen and the more we are aware of a problem the more we tend to work toward a solution that is the history of the world. I wish you luck trying to get this ostrich to pull their head out. Good luck
6 :
Ignorance is not bliss. It's downright dangerous. What you don't know can and WILL hurt you. So I'd tell them to get their head out of their a**, and take a good look around. They'd change their tune awful fast if it was their grandmother, mother, aunt, cousin, sister or daughter. I'd drag their sorry butt to the nearest Relay For Life and say. "See all the people here with survivors ribbons on their shirts? Not one would be here with out being aware of the symptoms of their cancer." One friend of mine is alive today because she listened to this survivor and went to see her doctor. Another died because he would not listen until I dragged his butt through the ER door.

I don't like breast cancer awareness. I don't like brain cancer awareness. I do however support the american cancer society who attempts to find a cure for cancer in general. I need to reword that. I do like the awareness programs and think more are needed, but I don't like donating to one specific charity for a certain of cancer....that's what I don't support. I think we should be supporting a cure to cancer period or for that matter all life threatening diseases.

The biggest breast cancer conference in the nation is San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, which will be taking place next week. If you go to their website you can view some of the latest research topics (unfortunately the research abstracts or results probably won't be released to the public until after the conference). It is a little more technically oriented.

Would you risk skin cancer to avoid breast cancer
Would you risk skin cancer to avoid breast cancer?
Studies have shown that utilizing a tanning salon lowers the risk of breast cancer. It also states that the chance of breast cancer in a person is great than the possible risk of getting skin cancer by going to a tanning salon. Jojo- Thanks for your answer. I thought it sounded a little odd. I do have a family history of breast cancer, and I have already had several lumbs removed when I was 19 that thankfully were not cancer, but even now at 29, I still have check ups every 6 months and a mamo once a year.

Hello, it is not true that tanning salons reduce the risk of breat cancer. breast cancer is commonly due to genetic disorders or oestrogen disorders, and UV light would not have an effect on these levels. However UV light does greatly increase the risk of skin cancer, by producing radicals that damage DNA. In short one should avoid tanning salons to reduce risk of skin cancer. If worried about obtaining breast cancer i would advise regular check ups that your GP can organise, especially if you have a family history. Every 6 months may be appropriate. thats great! breast cancer occurence increases with age also, so make sure you continue to go to your mammogram appointments all the best!

Since when did breast cancer become a sexual innuendo?
I personally don't think that most people who wear a I <3 boobies band, or post on their facebook page, "I like it on the..."(which I still don't get) really care about breast cancer awareness, as much as they like saying something sexual. The real thing that people are thinking about is the innuendo and not awareness.

Make little cute stuffed animalls (execpt this one looks like the symble for the breast cancer awareness sign. Spray some smell. and tada We did that last year, we raised about $5000
3 :
Sell "save the tata's" bumper stickers
4 :
-Here are a few ideas... ♥ Buy a few packets of blank labels and punch a hole in the top corner, then thread a pink ribbon through the hole and tie. You could write "I support Breast Cancer Awareness," or perhaps when people line up to buy one, ask them their name and then write it on as "________ supports Breast Cancer Awareness." ♥ Buy some pink cardboard, cut it into strips and decorate the outside with the pink ribbon symbol or "I support Breast Cancer Awareness" again. When your school lines up to buy some, either hole punch and tie with a pink ribbon around their wrist of just staple it. ♥ Cut of the shape of the pink ribbon symbol out of pink cardboard, decorate or leave it, hole punch it insert a safety pin. I think you should try this for a week! The more you raise, the better! Anyway, good luck and I hope this helps, Angel

One lady here has a little dog that is a Pug, and is real sweet and does not bite. She brings it around and it has a sign on it that says Pet the Pug for 25 cents or more. It worked really good.
