"Traición de la naturaleza"
(La lucha contra el cáncer de mama).

Un día, la naturaleza llevó la lucha por la supervivencia a los senos de la mujer. Atentó contra uno de los símbolos más sagrados que posee el ser humano, y golpeó, con saña, a nuestras madres.
Sin herramientas ni fármacos, otra vez la piedra del conocimiento debió tallarse rudimentariamente por siglos, para equilibrar la balanza. Indefenso, el hombre tuvo que cortar, y echó mano de los vestigios ancestrales de lo que hoy es la cirugía. Cortó, a destajo, cuerpo y alma.
La mastectomía apareció en el siglo II, d.C. siempre seguida del fuego ardiente que cauterizaba los vasos sangrantes; obvio no sería suficiente. 1200 años después empezaron a retirar los ganglios linfáticos axilares, tras entender que tendían a infestarse por el cáncer.

THREAD: Israel denies Palestinians life-saving breast cancer treatment

#BreastCancerAwarenessMonth
When caught early breast cancer is usually treatable, but in Palestine, a breast cancer diagnosis can mean a death sentence because Israel denies Palestinians the right to life-saving treatment.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Palestinian women and one of the top health concerns. It accounts for 34.3% of all cancer diagnoses among Palestinian women in the Gaza Strip and 32% in the West Bank.

For #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, let’s dive into a few facts and resources about the disease, as well as information about the screening and medications certain private plans must cover.
Among women in the U.S., breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death. Each year, about 264,000 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in women. The death rate across the country was 19.1/100,000 people in 2020. kff.org/other/state-in… Image
The racial/ethnic inequities in breast cancer rates are concerning. Like cancers overall, White people had the highest rate of new female breast cancer (128/100,000), followed by Black people (121/100,000). However, Black people are far more likely to die. kff.org/racial-equity-… Image

пані, любі чудові дівчата і жінки і чоловіки
жовтень - це місяць настороженості з приводу раку грудей

Тому ТРЕД: про груди, онконастороженість, турботу про себе і трохи про Анджеліну Джолі Image
Рак молочної залози (далі РМЗ) - це дуже підла і тому поширена онкологія, про яку ми рідко говоримо навіть з найближчими подругами.

тому що страшно, тому що не хочеться вірити, що в 20 можна залишитися без грудей - «в мене такого не може бути….»
Може. У кожної з нас може. Тому прошу дочитати до кінця і поширити, а потім вмовити маму, бабусю, сестру і подругу на чек-ап молочних залоз. В кінці буде опис що, в якому віці і як перевіряти.

🧵це не #sexymonday, це тред про #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth

Кожні півтори години в Україні помирає жінка від раку грудей.
Це перша причина смертності від раку серед жінок, але його можна виявити і вилікувати.
Коли рак виявлений на І стадії, шанси вилікуватись становлять 95%! Image
Є причини раку, на які ми не можемо повпливати - ранній початок менструацій чи рак в анамнезі у родичів. Але є те,що ми можемо зробити:
💕 здоровий спосіб життя
💕 підтримка нормальної ваги і до,і після менопаузи
💕 якщо є змога,годувати дітей хоча б 6 міс грудьми(можна й більше)
А ось міфи про причини раку грудей:
👎🏻 міф, що дезодоранти, а саме солі алюмінію і парабени в їх складі пов’язані з раком грудей - це неправда. А взагалі об’єм цих інгредієнтів, що абсорбується шкірою, такий же мізерний, як шанси росіі на перемогу. Дезодоранти не спричиняють рак!

بریسٹ کینسر

آج کل بریسٹ کینسر کی وباء عام ہے ۔ کسی عمر میں بھی ہوسکتا ہے لیکن اکثر 30 سال سے زائد عمر کی خواتین میں ہوتا ہے۔ چھاتی میں کینسر کی ابتداء ایک خاص قسم کے ابھار یا سخت گلٹی کی صورت ہوتی ہے۔ پہلے پہلے جلد کے اندر محسوس ہوتی ہے، پھر ظاہر جلد تک واضح ہو جاتی ہے۔👇
مرض کا احساس ابتدا میں نہیں ہوتا کیونکہ گلٹی میں درد نہیں ہوتا..محض ایک ابھار سا معلوم ھوتا ہے. جو وقت گزرنے کے ساتھ ساتھ بڑھتا اور پھیلتا چلا جاتا ہے اور آہستہ آہستہ اس میں درد محسوس ہونے لگتا ہے ۔ اور شدید درد ہوتا ہے حتی کہ اس سے سرخی مائل مواد بہتا ہے۔ بریسٹ کینسر میں
👇
رسولیوں کی وسعت بغل کے نیچے پیٹ کے نیچے نسوانی اعضاء تک جا پہنچتی ہے لیکن ٹیومرز کے اس پھیلاؤ میں کافی وقت لگ جاتا ہے۔

برسیٹ میں موجود ابھار یا گلٹی ضروری نہیں ہے کہ وہ کینسر کی ہو بلکہ عام طور پر سادہ گلٹی ہوتی ہے جو عام ادویہ سے ٹھیک ہو جاتی ہے .لیکن جب اس میں مواد متعفن

اٹھائیس سالہ ایم فِل سوشیالوجی کی طالبہ نازیہ* نے نہاتے ہوئے محسوس کیا کہ چھاتی میں ایک اُبھار سا بنا ہوا ہے۔ ہاتھ لگانے پر کچھ گُھٹلی جیسا احساس ہوتا تھا۔ لیکن کوئی خاص درد تکلیف وغیرہ نہ تھی۔ اس نے سوچا والدہ سے ڈسکس کر لے گی۔ چند ہفتے یونہی بےدھیانی میں یاد نہ رہا۔
👇
ایک دن دوبارہ نہاتے ہوئے اس طرف دھیان گیا تو ماں سے اس بارے مشورہ کر ہی لیا۔ ماں نے کہا کوئی درد یا تکلیف ہے تو دکھا لیتے ہیں ڈاکٹر کو، ساتھ مشورہ دیا کہ زیادہ مسئلہ نہیں لگ رہا تو پیاز باندھ لو اور ساتھ وظیفہ پڑھ لو یہ آپ ہی “گُھل” جائے گی۔ چند ہفتے وظیفہ پڑھا، اور پیاز بھی
👇
باندھا اور ساتھ ساتھ زیتون کے تیل سے ہلکے ہاتھ مالش بھی کی۔ گویا نازیہ نے نفسیاتی طور پر اپنے آپ کو یقین دلا دیا کہ ٹوٹکوں سے ابھار کا سائز کچھ کم ہو گیا ہے۔ وہ مطمئن ہو گئی۔ ابھار اپنی جگہ موجود رہا۔ خاموش۔ کسی تکلیف یا درد کے بغیر۔ جیسے طوفان سے پہلے سمندر ہوتا ہے۔

➡️Mwaka 2020 Tanzania kulikuwa na wagonjwa wapya 3992 wa saratani ya matiti (hawa ni wale waliofika kwenye vituo vya Afya) wengi huchelewa tiba

Uelewa ni muhimu

#breastCancerAwarenessMonth ramblings: I've been thinking about the words #fighter/#warrior/etc for #cancer patients recently. These thoughts have to go somewhere so here they are.
1/12
I'm one of the people these words apply to. Or they don't, idk.
If you don't know, I was diagnosed with #breastCancer in the spring of 2020, right on time for the first wave of the corona virus hitting my home.
It was a horrible time and it still often enough is.
2/
I've used the fighter imagery, the hashtags #fightLikeAGirl and #strongAF and I have a bracelet that says "warrior" gifted to me by my sis for the first post-C Christmas that makes me ridiculously proud. Yet I know the flaws in that metaphor.

The chance that a woman will die from breast cancer in developed countries is 1 in 40 (remember that 1 out of 8 women will have breast cancer). Therefore, in a theater of one thousand women, 25 will die from breast cancer.
2/
This means that if regular mammography screening was really reducing breast cancer death by 20%, more than 5 women out of 1000 have been saved by regular mammography screening (since the above numbers are in countries with national screening).

Let me be very clear:

If you’re not pro-choice, you’re anti-choice. Full stop.

These people don’t shout “pro life!” in protest of gun violence, police violence, kids in cages, anti-maskers, etc.

1/
Do they adopt the kids they force people to birth?

Do they financially support the families who want to abort bc they can’t afford a child?

Do they fight to ensure the person giving birth can get the healthcare they need?

Do they fight to fix the foster care system?

2/
If they were “pro-life” they wouldn’t want 2 defund Planned Parenthood.

Don’t want abortion? PP offers birth control.

October is #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth. You know what PP offers? Breast exams.

Here’s a long lost of some of their other services.

👇🏻A thread about #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth

I never thought much about breast cancer when I was younger.

My mom died of ovarian cancer when she was 52.

My grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer but she was old and had Alzheimer’s. I wasn’t worried.

1/
But then in 2010, my first cousin once removed - also a college professor, coincidentally - died of metastatic breast cancer. Melanie was 44 years old. I was 38 at the time.

2/
Early that year, I’d had a minor scare: a mammogram and ultrasound of a teeny tiny but palpable lump had been flagged as concerning. I had a stereotactic biopsy. All good.

Months later, another lump, another round of tests. All good.

But the seeds of worry had been planted.

The new year begins and I usher into a scientific journey where I shall be challenging myself with scientific quest and reviewing a scientific article/blog/interview/technique or facts on a daily basis. (or at least try😉) #365DaysOfScience
Let the journey begin.
The most cited article (over 300,000 times) is the @jbiolchem paper for a technique to estimate protein concentration in a solution. The paper is "Protein measurement with the folin phenol reagent".
#365DaysOfScience

Yes, the classic Lowry's method was published in May 1951. This is a colourimetric assay which gives an estimation of the amount of protein based on a standard curve obtained from a protein of known concentration (usually BSA).

RT #NoBraDay October 13
This day is celebrated without a bra because many women who have survived breast cancer can no longer go without wearing a bra because they need it to hold their prosthesis in place after undergoing surgery.
RT #breastcancerawareness #NoBraDay
#NoBraDay
No Bra Day is an annual observance on October 13 on which women are encouraged to forgo wearing a bra as a means to encourage breast cancer awareness. No Bra Day was initially observed on July 9, 2011, but within three years it had moved to October 13, Breast.

Can bras cause breast cancer?

Unless people experience breast cancer or are close to someone who does, they might not be able to separate myth from fact when it comes to #breastcancer.

So let's talk about the myths, causes and symptoms.

#BreastCancerAwarenessMonth
MYTH 1: If I don’t have a family history of breast cancer, I won’t get it.

FACT: Most people diagnosed with breast cancer have no known family history.
Many people think of breast cancer as an inherited disease. But only about 5–10% of breast cancers are believed to be hereditary, meaning they’re caused by abnormal changes (or mutations) in certain genes passed from parent to child.
