Breast Cancer is becoming more common in Women under 50, by @CR_UK Cancer Research UK

Breast Cancer are becoming more common in Women under 50

DES Daughters are 82% more likely to develop breast cancer after age 40 …

The number of UK women under aged 50 diagnosed with breast cancer has topped 10,000 for the first time. While it’s not clear why the rates are rising in this age group, survival rates among women under 50 are improving thanks to research and increased awareness of the disease.

DES Daughters are 82% more likely to develop breast cancer after age 40 … Could the fact that Breast cancer in women under 50 is becoming more common be explained by the fact that the majority of DES Daughters are only reaching their 40′s now … ??? Just wondering?

Breast Cancer Risk Factors: a critical Review of what we actually know

After 40 Years Of Research, What Do We Know About Preventing Breast Cancer?

40 years of Breast Cancer research

” Hundreds of scientific articles are published each year about risk factors for breast cancer and about prevention of the disease. However, the most basic questions about what we really know get very little attention. How much of the occurrence of breast cancer can be explained by our current knowledge? What can women do to reduce their risk? And where should we look for the remaining pieces of the puzzle? “

Good read on Breast Cancer Mechanism and Treatment Alternatives, via @grneyd5600

Cancer-Free, your guide to Non-toxic Healing Of Cancer

Recommended Reading : Cancer-Free by Bill Henderson

” Breast cancer is the cancer initiating from breast tissue, most usually from the internal lining of milk channels or the lobules that brings milk to the duct. Cancers instigating from ducts are identified as ductal carcinomas; those instigating from lobules are identified as lobular carcinomas. Breast cancer is the most general cause of cancer in women. Whilst the mainstream of novel breast cancers are diagnosed on account of an aberration seen on a mammogram, a bump or alter in uniformity of the breast tissue can also be a caveat symbol of the ailment. ”

Doctors need to know and ask the right Questions to assess Breast Cancer Risk in their Patients

Judge OK’s suit against makers of anti-miscarriage drug

Part of what Aaron Levine and Julie Zhang are advocating is for the drug companies to fund additional DES research on breast cancer, as well as in DES third generation (grandchildren) populations says Caitlin McCarthy

Caitlin McCarthy, an English teacher at Worcester Technical High School, is the daughter of a woman given DES. Born in 1970, she found out in 2005 that her mother had taken it, but so far, is cancer-free. A DES daughter activist, she has written a documentary, Wonder Drug, about the DES fallout.

Caitlin says: ” Doctors need to know to give adequate care, and ask the right questions to assess breast cancer risk in their patients, and being a DES daughter is a big one… more funds are needed for better studies…”.

We need a DES Awareness Month! Don’t you think? As per choosing a Color, I say Red!

We need a DES Awareness Month! Don't you think?London’s Buckingham Palace turned bright PINK last October to mark Breast Cancer Awareness month! Breast cancer is a concern for DES Daughters and mothers. We need a DES Awareness month! Don’t you think? As per choosing a color … How many of us have turned RED when doctors are dismissing our DES health concerns, when governments keep ignoring DES victims! So I say RED!!!!

HRT-use associated with an increased Risk of Breast Cancer, Research suggests

WHI: Combo HRT, Breast Cancer Risk LinkedThe use of combined estrogen plus progestin among postmenopausal women was associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, a longer-term analysis of data from the observational Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) suggested. Read WHI: Combo HRT, Breast Cancer Risk Linked

DES Action USA commented:
“ Most DES Daughters go cautiously when considering HRT-use to avoid additional hormonal exposures. Another study now bolsters the concern. While not specifically about DES it’s a good reminder for all to use the lowest dose for shortest period of time – if absolutely needed. “
