How is it that rich women, who probably get a mammo every year, get terminal breast cancer? - getting rich women
I am surprised that Elizabeth Edwards is now before the death of his cancer. I can not naïve about breast cancer, but I always thought if you can, a mammogram every two years to catch the cancer in time for him to heal completely. T they develop so fast that even UPS CK-looking statements are not enough? Of course, they simply could not go every year for reasons other than money. In any case, I wonder how many women die of something so easy to recognize when we check-ups.

I am a descendant of 4 years old was diagnosed at the age of 42nd Not in my family and I have mammography 3 months before I cared a little bit in the shower. The package was not detectable by mammography. Even if you're mom always practice self-examination monthly. Mammograms are not infallible, but they remain one of the best tools we have. In the case of Elizabeth, who did not have a mammogram in several years because his son was born when the original tumor was discovered on the size of a silver dollar if there is, and that automatically the size of cancer in step 2 However, breast cancer is a devastating disease that affects both rich and poor.
Mammograms are not perfect. Many times a small tumor quickly spread to the lymph nodes. Once in the lymph nodes, the survival chances are not very good.
Everyone reacts differently and some tumors are always very fast and some slower. Annual mammograms are very important. Sometimes, when your breasts are very dense (if they are younger) is sometimes very difficult to see a small tumor. For them, a year after the tumor has grown and is visible and may have already spread to the lymph nodes.
Cancer can be born and grow very fast. In particular, certain types of breast cancer. In addition, metastatic breast cancer, which means that the cancer has returned and spread to other areas Beyon the first place. After the spread of breast cancer, no matter how you catch it early, it can not be excluded. Therefore, it is incurable! Go live with him and to chemotherapy or radiation treatment for the rest of his life. All doctors can do is try to change the spread of cancer to control the types of chemotherapy. And all this has absolutely nothing to do with wealth. It is a question of ignorance. You should check before you with statements like that to make.
Unfortunately, cancer is no difference between rich and poor. Every race of people can get. There are too many different types of cancer. Sometimes the people in the medical profession are able to make mistakes. I personally think it has something with the ingredients they put in foods to do. Cancer can sometimes be fatal. As a survivor of breast cancer, I know women who are diagnosed at an advanced stage. Many live a fulfilling life, even if they are always treated in a way. Thank God! Some doctors do not tell you what you should do after a cancer. You must do your own research in order to save his life. Especially if you're poor and minorities. I hope they find a cure soon. Too many people die from cancer. The best solution is to use preventive measures. Exercise (eat healthy fish, broccoli, soybeans) and lose weight. Breast exam every month. Reduce the consumption of red meat and fast food. To name a few. I applaud the courage of Elizabeth Edwards.
naive, correct,.
annual "Mama" does not prevent cancer, not even capture all the cancer! If there is a place that can not see the analysis does not, can participate. Modern medicine is not perfect, as most are led to believe. Most things can be cured with a shot or a pill. Cancers usually come from years of abuse our bodies by our Western diet, smoking IGC and other environmental toxins, which are exposed to.
Since many poor women are dying of other causes before BRCA has a chance to grow.
If you think the causes of death from other socioeconomic groups are the things like heart disease, diabetes and infectious diseases (if you want to partnerships with the standard of living significantly lower) than look at us.
The cause food to develop the kind of women who have breast cancer, the rich, the rich European lines, the mutations in the genes BRCA1 and 2, these women tend to be well fed and the type of precautions that could prevent the heart cardiovascular disease and diabetes (lots of exercise and healthy). Because they are rich, can afford sanitation and health, to protect them from infectious diseases. What remains? Live long and healthy life until the cancer has a chance to develop.
If you want to look into genetic factors, and note that you are spreading the genes BRCA 1 a.m.-2 p.m. carcinogenic mutations in many European women. Yes, you get in other races, but it occurs more frequently in some groups than others.
We canc example of what reconciliation is headquartered in Marin County, north of San Francisco. Marin County has the highest per capita rates of breast cancer in the United States. They also have a very rich white people. Chance Most cancers are genetic in nature, and these women are rich (you afford) to live there. Thus, while the women have the opportunity to prevent other major causes of death, struggling to avoid what has been encoded in their genes.
Anyway, I'm not saying that we should avoid mammograms too. They are very helpful and have actually decreased the mortality of breast cancer, as was the case. Early detection is the key and watch your family history.
If I think I never had to treat breast cancer or had to cope with someone in your area. If so, you know, he always runs the risk of relapse. The fact that the treatment is over, does not mean that the fear of cancer. In my case, I have a 15% chance of recurrence. Cancer is shrewd and as Elizabeth had said, showed no signs of recurrence. Most doctors do blood tests and routine physical examination. Other than that, to the reporting of the patient's symptoms.
And for this reason that we, the people of cancer because paranoid hypochondriacs. It's never over for us, and that's what sucks the most.
