BREAST CANCER: WHAT TO DO?

Health /

Discovering a lump in your breast can be cause for concern.  Most breast lumps and other changes don’t turn out to be cancerous. Still, it’s important to know why lumps occur and what steps to take. What causes breast lumps? Most women have some type of lumpiness in their breasts. For example, some women may have areas of their breasts that are denser than other areas. These lumps usually go away by the end of your period. Lumps can also occur at other times when hormone levels fluctuate, such as during pregnancy, breastfeeding and menopause.  You may also notice lumps or other breast changes if you use hormones such as: Birth control pills, Injections, and Menopausal hormone therapy. If you find a lump, you should see your doctor and get it checked out. Your doctor can examine your breasts and the surrounding tissues for any other changes that could indicate a problem.  Be prepared to answer questions: Do you have a family history of breast cancer? When was your last mammogram? What was the date of your last period? Are you pregnant or breastfeeding? What medications are you taking? When did you find the lump? Has the lump gotten smaller or larger?  Also be sure to tell your doctor about any other breast changes, including: Nipple discharge or tenderness. Redness, dimples or puckers. A change in breast size or shape. Your doctor may also request other tests. These tests can include: 1- Diagnostic mammogram: Though mammograms are used mostly for screening, this x-ray of the breasts can also be used to get a closer look at breast problems. 2- Breast ultrasound: Using sound waves, a breast ultrasound can be used to target a specific area of concern found on a mammogram. This test can help distinguish between fluid-filled cysts and solid masses and between benign and cancerous tumors. 3- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): This test creates detailed pictures of the breast that can show the difference between normal and diseased tissue. 4- Biopsy: In this procedure, a sample of cells from the lump is removed for examination. A biopsy is the only definitive way to find out whether a lump is cancerous. Protect yourself with regular screenings: Finding breast changes early can help detect breast cancer early, when it’s most treatable. Generally, the ACS (American Cancer Society) recommends that women have regular mammograms beginning at age 45. Your doctor can suggest a screening schedule. Women should get to know their breasts….

IDENTITY OF SELF

People /

IDENTITY OF SELF I am certain that I’ve written about this before, however, it is something that is part of our culture that people with certain motives tend to exploit. I will argue why the fact that our culture makes a big deal out of a person’s ancestry, is not only detrimental to the individual daily but also is very dangerous on a macro scale, due to how exploitable it is by our politicians. First, let us frame the problem at hand. The first question we will address in the larger whole, America is a ‘salad bowl’, that at least on paper, celebrates our differences and encourages us to use them to achieve a common goal. Too many different results in abrasion, and is detrimental to productivity and the quality of life. Too little difference results in “group thinking” and ineffective problem-solving due to members’ inability to use different skills to contribute to a solution. For example, if you have an engineering problem but all your team members are engineers, great, but when you encounter a sales problem, your team will falter. Or when you have a too diverse team, not only will you have problems managing the personalities, but also you will not have enough members to solve the problem that requires more people in a certain department. This is exactly why teams and companies tend to lean towards the abundance of a few departments based on the challenges they face regularly as well as avoid the specific challenges their groups cannot overcome. This is not due to a lack of skill or will, but it is just not what their team is built around. This, with few exceptions, applies to any group. The solution to that problem, as it always has been, introducing a bit of agreeableness and individualism into who you are. Sure, that identity, and in this case, national/racial identity can be a part of an individual, but when it becomes a person’s main identifier, all they become is a ‘stereotype.’ When a person becomes anything but themselves or accepts a label, another person can attack that label and discredit the individual. When we talk about labels that others like to attach without a person’s conscious choice, such as race/gender/sexuality, the person who has the label attached to them can easily be smeared in the public eye at least, or be the target of attacks at worst. Generally, we avoid this by offering the person doing this kind of action, a reality check by pointing out they are an individual first; however, when one is having a one-sided conversation, such as in a rally, that is not possible, and the speaker’s words become the only thing left. Next Month I will propose a potentially radical however simple and applicable solution on an individual level so stay tuned.
