Breastfeeding can reduce a woman's risk of develop

Breastfeeding can reduce a woman's risk of developing breast cancer. This is because breastfeeding helps to reduce the levels of estrogen in the body, and high levels of estrogen are a known risk factor for breast cancer. Additionally, breastfeeding encourages cells in the breast to mature and become more resistant to cancer. Furthermore, breastfeeding helps to prevent the growth of abnormal cells that can lead to breast cancer. It is important to note that the longer a woman breastfeeds, the greater the reduction in breast cancer risk.

A clinical breast exam is important for several re

A clinical breast exam is important for several reasons. First, it provides an opportunity for a healthcare provider to check for any lumps, bumps, or unusual changes in the breast tissue that cannot be seen on a mammogram or ultrasound. In addition, it allows the provider to check for any changes in the texture or appearance of the breast and nipples, and any breast pain, which may indicate a potential problem.

Secondly, clinical breast exams can help detect breast cancer in women who may have a higher risk of developing the disease, such as those who have a family history of breast cancer or those who have been diagnosed with breast cancer in the past.

Lastly, a clinical breast exam provides an opportunity for education and counseling on breast self-examination, the importance of regular breast cancer screening, and risk factors for breast cancer. When combined with a mammogram and breast self-exams, clinical breast exams can help ensure early detection and improve outcomes for women with breast cancer.
Here is an opportunity to get screened. Call now to make an appointment. Next screening is March 25 @CPS Vineyard Building SXM. Screening conducted by @aucmed_edu by certified oncologist. https://positivefoundationsxm.com

There is evidence to suggest that maintaining a healthy diet can help reduce the risk of developing breast cancer. Eating a well-balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats while limiting processed and high-fat foods may help lower your risk.

In addition, for those who have already been diagnosed with breast cancer, a healthy diet can be helpful in managing treatment side effects and promoting overall wellness. Eating a nutrient-dense diet that supports the immune system can help support the body’s ability to fight cancer and heal.

It is important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to receive personalized advice on nutrition as it relates to breast cancer prevention or treatment.

Breast cancer is a serious disease that can have l

Breast cancer is a serious disease that can have life-altering consequences if not detected and treated early. Early detection of breast cancer can lead to more effective treatment, a higher chance of successful recovery, and improved quality of life for the patient. Here are some reasons why early detection of breast cancer is so important:

1. Higher chances of successful treatment: When breast cancer is detected early, treatment options are more effective, and the chances of successful recovery are higher. Early detection may also allow for less invasive treatment options, reducing the overall impact on the patient's health and well-being.

2. Increased survival rates: Early detection can make a significant difference in a patient's long-term survival rates. According to the American Cancer Society, the five-year survival rate for localized breast cancer (meaning it has not spread beyond the breast) is nearly 100%.

3. Access to breast-conserving surgery: Early detection of breast cancer may allow for a different surgical approach called breast-conserving surgery, which aims to remove only the cancerous tissue while preserving as much of the breast as possible.

4. Improved quality of life: Early detection may also improve a patient's quality of life by reducing the need for more aggressive interventions and treatments.

Overall, early detection of breast cancer is crucial for improving outcomes and providing the best possible care for those affected by this disease.

t's important for all women to be aware of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, as early detection can greatly improve treatment outcomes. Some of the most common signs of breast cancer include a lump or thickening in the breast tissue, changes in breast color or texture, nipple discharge, or changes in nipple shape. Other symptoms can include breast pain, swelling, or skin irritation. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to see your doctor as soon as possible. Remember, regular self-examinations at home, along with routine mammograms and clinical breast exams, can help detect potential issues early on, allowing you to take action and potentially save your life.

A ceiling with a feeling – a unique breast cancer awareness idea.
The chandelier of bras at Juggie’s Place, the smallest bar in the world, currently has over 600 bras hanging in the “ceiling with a feeling.” The collection has grown in 2022 and Juggie has made another donation of US$750 to the Positive Foundation making the total received from Juggie’s Place US$3,450 over the years. Jagdish “Juggie” Amarnaney refers to his efforts as “saving the juggies one bra at a time.” The unique breast cancer awareness idea involves the creation of the bra chandelier – people donate bras and Juggie hangs them from his ceiling. For each bra donated, he puts aside $5 for breast cancer awareness. This year, Juggie donated an extra US$250 which the foundation will put towards its Man Up Check UP prostate cancer awareness campaign launched in 2019.
Juggie recently dodged a bullet. During a routine Colonoscopy it was discovered he had 2 malignant tumors in his colon. The tumors were surgically removed, at the Sint Maarten Medical Center, and because of the timely intervention there was no spread, and he doesn't have to have Chemotherapy or Radiation. Juggie, encourages everyone to “Man Up and get yourself checked.”
“We are always so grateful for the continued support received from Juggie’s Place. The Ceiling with a Feeling and the generous financial support from Juggie are effective ways to encourage breast cancer awareness in our community, said Shelly Alphonso, President of the Positive Foundation.
