Yesterday I received a media advisory email stating this: “New Guidelines Against Breast Self-Examination Could Seriously Endanger Women’s Health,” says Dr. Marisa Weiss, President and Founder of breastcancer.org.
New Danish guidelines advising the population not to perform BSEs are supported by a review – to be released later today – of BSE studies previously conducted in […]
Hot off the press … German researchers seem to have developed a new fertility technique that targets women with cancer.
“It is not new drugs,” said Michael Von Wolf, a researcher at the University of Heidelberg in Germany. “Everybody can do it.”
According to that Reuter’s release, the results were promising:

US researchers have acknowledged that poorer women have a greater chance of dying from breast cancer than those who are financially better off.
A study was conducted with 14,000 breast, prostate and colorectal patients — and clearly indicated that socioeconomic status affects a person’s chances of survival. Here’s a quote from a Washington Post article on […]
The Prince of Wales, Prince Charles, or His Royal Highness The Prince Charles as he’s known in Scotland, is going to officially open a research unit on Thursday designed to improve and develop treatments for breast cancer.

Back in 2006, the American Cancer Society issued three recommendations on healthy lifestyle behaviors:
Get at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-strenuous exercise, or an hour of strenuous physical activity, every week
eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables daily
quit smoking.
But research done in the U.S. and Australia has shown that many cancer survivors do not […]
Do we need another reason to get our children exercising early in their lifetimes? Seems that regular exercise in adolescence and young adulthood may help lower a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer before menopause.
“The women who were the most physically active were 23 percent less likely to develop premenopausal breast cancer than the women […]
