October will be Breast Cancer Awareness Month for 2019, the perfect time to learn about the symptoms of breast cancer and get your annual mammogram set up with your doctor.

One in eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime and is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women. It is also the second leading cause of cancer death among women.

But the news does not automatically mean a death sentence as there are 3.3 million sur-vivors in the United States today.

In fact, the death rates from breast cancer have been declining since the 1990’s, primar-ily due to better screening methods and early detection, along with increased awareness and constantly improving treatment options.

Doctors seldom know why one woman de-velops breast cancer and another doesn’t, but what we do know is that breast cancer is al-ways caused by damage to a cell’s DNA.

There are certain risk factors women should

know about, such as a family history of breast cancer. If you have a relative who has had breast cancer or one who was diagnosed before the age of 50, you may be at a greater risk of developing cancer.

If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer in one breast, chances are you will eventually be di-agnosed in the other breast as well.

Other risks can include late menopause, giv-ing birth at an older age or never even having children.

Those risks that are genetic simply cannot be changed, however, there are environmental and lifestyle factors that can be changed, such as a poor diet, lack of physical activity, alcohol, obesity and even hormone replacement therapy.

Breast cancer is not caused by wearing un-derwire bras, breast implants, deoderants or antiperspirants, mammograms, caffeine, micro-waves or cell phones. Those are simply myths.

But it is interesting to note that 60-70 per-cent of people with breast cancer have no con-

nection to risk factors at all and some who com-pletely avoid the risk factors still come down with the disease.

Of course discovering a lump in your breast is cause for concern, but it does not always mean its time to panic.

Some lumps are non-cancerous tumors that are simply benign. Physicians will generally leave a benign tumor or lump alone once they’ve determined it isn’t cancerous.

A malignant tumor, however, is cancerous and aggressive. They invade and damage sur-rounding tissue. In this instance, the doctor will take a biopsy to determine the severity or aggressiveness of the tumor.

The third type of lump to be aware of is met-astatic cancer. This happens when a malignant tumor spreads to other parts of the body, usu-ally through the lymph system, and creates another tumor.

Your best defense against breast cancer is to have an offense planned.

Make sure you’re doing self-examinations in the shower on a regular basis. Your doctor can guide you in the best way to do your self-exam.

If you do happen to find a lump or some-thing that feels different during your self-ex-amination get an appointment with your doc-tor and they will set up tests to find out if its cancer or not.

One of the best things you can have in your offense playbook is to have an annual mam-mogram. Mammograms can now detect breast cancer in the earliest stages, giving you a much better chance for a good outcome.

If you cannot afford to have a mammogram done, there are resources out there to help.

In Wyoming, you can call the Wyoming De-partment of Health’s Breast and Cervical Can-cer Early Detection Program and they will find a doctor or hospital near you that will work to get your mammogram at little or no cost.

Simply call 307-777-6006 to find out more information on the program.
