Symptoms & Diagnosis Treatment
BREST CANCER
What Is Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer is an uncon-
trolled growth of breast cells.
To better understand breast
cancer, it helps to understand
how any cancer can develop.
Cancer occurs as a result of mutations, or abnormal
changes, in the genes responsible for regulating the
growth of cells and keeping them healthy. The
genes are in each cell’s nucleus, which acts as the
“control room” of each cell. Normally, the cells in
our bodies replace themselves through an orderly
process of cell growth: healthy new cells take over
as old ones die out. But over time, mutations can
“turn on” certain genes and “turn off” others in a
cell. That changed cell gains the ability to keep di-
viding without control or order, producing more
cells just like it and forming a tumor.
A tumor can be benign (not dangerous to health) or
malignant (has the potential to be dangerous). Be-
nign tumors are not considered cancerous: their
cells are close to normal in appearance, they grow
slowly, and they do not invade nearby tissues or
spread to other parts of the body. Malignant tumors
are cancerous. Left unchecked, malignant cells
eventually can spread beyond the original tumor to
other parts of the body.
The term “breast cancer” refers to a malignant
tumor that has developed from cells in the breast.
Usually breast cancer either begins in the cells of
the lobules, which are the milk-producing glands, or
the ducts, the passages that drain milk from the
lobules to the nipple. Less commonly, breast cancer
can begin in the stromal tissues, which include the fatty and fibrous connective tissues of the breast.
Over time, cancer cells can invade nearby healthy
breast tissue and make their way into the underarm
lymph nodes, small organs that filter out foreign
substances in the body. If cancer cells get into the
lymph nodes, they then have a pathway into other
parts of the body. The breast cancer’s stage refers
to how far the cancer cells have spread beyond the
original tumor (see Stages of Breast Cancer table
more information).
Breast cancer is always caused by a genetic abnor-
mality (a “mistake” in the genetic material). How-
ever, only 5-10% of cancers are due to an abnormal-
ity inherited from your mother or father. About
90% of breast cancers are due to genetic abnormali-
ties that happen as a result of the aging process and
the “wear and tear” of life in general.
While there are steps every person can take to help
the body stay as healthy as possible (such as eating
a balanced diet, not smoking, limiting alcohol, and
exercising regularly), breast cancer is never any-
one's fault. Feeling guilty, or telling yourself that
breast cancer happened because of something you
or anyone else did, is not productive.
Breast cancer symptoms vary widely
— from lumps to swelling to skin
changes — and many breast cancers
have no obvious symptoms at all.
Symptoms that are similar to those of
breast cancer may be the result of non-
cancerous conditions like infection or a
cyst. BREAST SELF EXAM should be
part of your monthly health care rou-
tine, and you should visit your doctor if
you experience breast changes. If
you're over 40 or at a high risk for the
disease, you should also have an annual
mammaogram and physical exam by a
doctor. The earlier breast cancer is
found and diagnosed, the better your
chances of beating it.
The actual process of diagnosis can
take weeks and involve many different
kinds of tests. Waiting for results can
feel like a lifetime. The uncertainty
stinks. But once you understand your
own unique “big picture,” you can
make better decisions. You and your
doctors can formulate a treatment
plan tailored just for you.
In the following pages of the Symp-
toms and Diagnosis section, you can
learn about:UNDERSTANDING
BREAST CANCER How breast cancer
happens, how it progresses, the stages,
and a look at risk factors screening and
testing The tests used for screening, diagnosis,
and monitoring, including mammo-
grams, ultrasound, MRI, CAT scans,
PET scans, and more.TYPES OF
BREAST CANCER
The different types of breast cancer,
including ductal carcinoma in situ
(DCIS), invasive ductal carcinoma
(IDC), invasive lobular carcinoma
(ILC), inflammatory breast cancer,
male breast cancer, recurrent breast
cancer, metastatic breast cancer, and
more. Your DIAGNOSIS
The characteristics of the cancer that
might affect your treatment plan, in-
cluding size, stage, lymph node status,
hormone receptor status, and more.
YOUR PATHOLOGY REPORT
A detailed, step-by-step explanation of
what your pathology report says and
how this might affect your treatment
options.
In recent years, there's been an ex-
plosion of life-saving treatment advances against
breast cancer, bringing new hope and excitement.
Instead of only one or two options, today there's
an overwhelming menu of treatment choices that
fight the complex mix of cells in each individual
cancer. The decisions — surgery, then perhaps
radiation, hormonal (anti-estrogen) therapy,
and/or chemotherapy — can feel overwhelming.
Breastcancer.org can help you understand your
CANCER STAGE and appropriate options, so
you and your doctors can arrive at the best treat-
ment plan for YOU.

Luv Coach Q&A: Chasing Commitment by Rebecca Brody
I have been with my boyfriend for almost a year, and we have discussed marriage and
kids. Ever since we got serious he has become very insecure and constantly questions
my love for him. We get into really crazy fights about it, and I am getting exhausted
having to prove to him that he means more to me than everyone else. I really do love
him, but I don't know if I can deal with this much longer. What should I do?
Nan
Your boyfriend has become so needy that he is draining your relationship. His neediness stems
from a lack of security, issues with trust, and a fear of losing you. When these three are combined
the neediness becomes a bottomless black hole that sucks the life out of everything around it.
There are deep rooted issues tied to neediness and your boyfriend will need to address them with
a therapist before he can heal. Suggest to him that you both go see a couples therapist, who can
I sometimes feel I have a fear of commitment, but I'm not sure why. Each relationship I embark upon seems to
end in the same way and it's quite frustrating. I've changed the places in which I meet guys, and I've changed the
kind of guys I've dated. So, I'm not sure why they end with such disappointment.
Shar
It sounds like you may be sending mixed messages. If you believe that you have a fear of commitment then you are sending the
message that you want nothing to do with, and are not looking for, a committed relationship. That message attracts people who
don't want a commitment. Once you get involved with them and decide you want something more, the relationship ends because
you chose someone who wasn't looking for a long-term commitment. You need to figure out why you fear commitment and what
happened to you in the past that has led you to this place. You should work with a relationship coach to help explore your fear.
They can teach you how to shift your perception so that you embrace commitment and attract people who are also looking for a
commitment in love.
Luv Coach Q&A: Walk Away
I have been married for ten years and we have one son together and he has a set of twins from a previous relationship. In
the past I confronted him about sleeping with a childhood associate, and recently -- four months ago -- I found out about
a three year affair with a younger lady. I have spoken with the lady and it was not pleasant. I am still in the marriage, and
he claims he didn't marry me to get a divorce, but I feel he is still having an affair with the younger woman. I am so hurt,
confused, disgusted, and I can't get it off my mind. HELP!!! Vikki
Your husband claims that he didn't marry you to get a divorce, and yet he is doing everything to lead to that inevitable demise. It's not
enough to say your marriage vows, you have to live and honor them. You have been too easy on him and let him get away with treating
you poorly. After the first transgression, you both should have sought couples counseling to address the issues in your marriage. Since
there were no consequences the first time, your husband feels that he can do it again and get away with it. Trust your intuition if it's telling
you that he is still cheating, and ask yourself what kind of marriage you want to be in and what type of example you are setting for your
son. Your husband isn't going to change if there aren't any repercussions for his behavior. You won't be able to get it off your mind until
you have done something to change the course of your marriage. Once again, you will have to confront him, and this time you will have to
take action.
I've been dating this man for almost a year and we have a big age gap, I'm 22 and he is 35. He just told me he is seeing
someone else as well as me and I just want to know if I should move on or not because I really fell in love with him!
Nettie
It's extremely painful when your partner callously disrespects your love and dishonors the relationship. It is essential at the start of a rela-
tionship to state your requirements (e.g. fidelity) so that both partners know the boundaries and the ramifications of breaking those re-
quirements. He has chosen not to value you or your relationship, so if you choose to stay with him, then you are telling the world that
you don't value yourself. It's time to walk away from this man, and I know it's not easy. I know that you love him very much, but if you
allow others to mistreat you, you will lose sight of who you are and end up in an unhealthy situation. Drop this guy so you can make
room in your life for other relationships and eventually your one great love. Don't settle for someone who doesn't think you're worth
being his one and only.

Take My Advice: Women Give Women Bad Advice The theory of
supply and demand
is arguably the most
fundamental tenet
of the free market.
Understand how it
works and you un-
derstand three-
quarters of Amer-
ica's woes, like the
proliferation of
reality television,
the unnecessary gluttonous absurdity of Taco Bell and
KFC one-stops, and the exponential growth of ringtone
purchases by grown-ass adults who should know better.
It even plays out in the marketplace of ideas and opinion.
This is where women, in particular, get tripped up on the
supply and demand of relationship advice. When men loudly inquire "what the hell are you listening to her for,"
it's not just a crude knee-jerk response. It comes from
our innate understanding that women, although inadver-
tently in most cases, tend to give each other bad advice.
We know this. Yet women demand it from their girl-
friends, who are all too happy to supply it. It's an irre-
pressible instinct that women share. For reasons that are
more perplexing than Beyonce's overproduced choreog-
raphy, women seem to think their girlfriends are uniquely
qualified to provide sound advice on affairs of the heart.
They're not.
Let me offer a few reasons to why you might want to
check in with a sensible male friend that you trust or a
professional instead.
1. Misery Loves Company
The bitter girlfriend scenario is classic. She's jaded from her own failed or failing relationship.
Rather than converse, she wants to commiserate. She suffers from emotional Tourette's
syndrome – uncontrollably blurting out red-flag statements like "girl, please, f*ck him and his
momma." She has no genuine interest in your happiness at this point. Chances are she
probably could have made some different decisions with her own love life, but she didn't.
Now she's lonely and livid, high off her own supply (of bad advice) and she's doing her best
to bait you into her relationship crack den. Walk away.
2. Standards and Practices
I'm a big fan of this expression: Standards and Practices (S&P) originates in the broadcast
industry as a term that applies to the moral and ethical implications of programs that net-
works air. In relationships, it takes on a similar meaning. Each couple creates their own pa-
rameters and boundaries in terms of behavior and lifestyle choices they embrace or will
tolerate. The problem is your girlfriend may be operating from an entirely different S&P
handbook. For example, you may have no issue with your husband and his buddies hitting
Vegas for the weekend. She does. In fact, her husband can't even go to happy hour after
work without drama and 20 questions to follow. You two are operating from two different
handbooks. Your relationship sensibilities are incompatible. She's about to steer you wrong
and give you advice that doesn't fit the dynamics of your marriage. Change the subject quickly.
3. She Has No Idea What She's Talking About
I'm sorry, but it's true. Women can't be trusted to give good advice when it comes to the
opposite sex – no more than you trust the man that pulls up for your first date while sipping
from a 16 oz red Solo cup and proceeds to asks if you want some. The only question is who
you trust less. The reality is women don't understand men. They think they do and that in
itself is the source of all the bad advice to follow. The road to a busted relationship is paved
with the good intentions of your girlfriends. Take my advice (yes, mine): Look inward or find
a professional.
4. You Will Look Like a Fool in the End (Again)
So here is the biggest issue. This is less about the girlfriend and more about you. The more
you complain and bellyache about your troubled relationship, the bigger the fool you appear
to be to your girlfriend when you sheepishly go back to him in the middle of the night. Yeah,
it's kind of embarrassing, but you know you will. You always do. Manage the flow of informa-
tion. This is what men do. Our buddies need to know only two important life-changing
events as it pertains to our relationships: We're getting married and we're getting divorced.
Everything else in between is immaterial and frankly none of their business.

Jillian’s BLOCK! The 411YOU want
Afro/Latino 27 www.afrolatinomag.com
Her addiction to Stephenie Meyer‘s Twilight Series, her love for the color pink, and her passion for writing
are few of the many things that describe Jillian. On Monday, July 26, 2010, we had the opportunity to sit down
with New York native Jillian Algarin and get to know who she is, as a person, a friend and a mentor.
In the hour we spent together, we learned much about Jillian. She loves to read, especially novels on love, and
life experiences. Jillian is majoring in Leadership & Communications at Harcum College, and in ten years sees
herself having her own talk show. As a journalist for BCTV.org and Afro-LATINO Magazine, her focus are the
youth. ―I feel that the needs for the youth are not being met. Many youth are focused on finding out what the
‗streets‘ has to offer. Education is the key to ALL possibilities. Without education, life can be extremely hard.
In my writing, I focus on what youth want to hear, what they want to know. Titled: ‗Jillian‗s Block: the 411
YOU want‗, I think it pretty much speaks for itself.‖
Inspiring, empowering and guiding youth is something that Jillian is beyond passionate about. ―Coming from a single parent home, I know
how hard communication can be. I rarely spoke to my dad about anything I was feeling, and I guess that‘s where the relationship went sour. I
was afraid to talk to him, I didn‘t know how to express myself…We didn‗t really have much of a relationship…‖
Marcos & Anthony: ―Why did you want to become a mentor?‖
Jillian: ―I wanted to become a mentor because when I myself was 13, 14 even 15 I needed a mentor. I needed a guide, I needed to know how
to make the right decisions. Life is hard, and it can be a challenge but if you have positive people around you, life becomes easier. With that
being said, I wanted to become a mentor to help kids that are going through what I went through. I want these youth to know that they are
not alone, and they do have someone they can talk to.‖
Marcos & Anthony: ―Being mentees at GoodWill Goodguides, we‘ve learned a lot about the mentors. A lot of them are involved in the com-
munity. Are you?‖
Jillian: ―Actually, I am. My sister Edna Garcia is the Founder and Executive Director of the RIZE Program. I started as a student, and now I am
the youth coordinator for the program. The RIZE Program is an arts program that focuses solely on youth giving them the tools to properly
identify and express emotions that can lead to violence if left unchecked. Each year, the students write a film that focuses on teen issues. Last
year, the students wrote a film based on youth turning to gangs for support, and acceptance. This year, they focused on cyber-bullying. If you
were interested in becoming students in the program, you can send an email directly to my sister or I, at [email protected]‖
Marcos & Anthony: ―Thank you for that information. Before you leave, what advice would you give a youth to help them succeed in life, or over-
come adversities they are faced with?‖
Jillian: ―Well, for one, no one is perfect. We all make mistakes, and we all fall down. What‘s important is that we learn from our mistakes, dust
ourselves off and try again. We all have goals, and we all have dreams. Don‘t let them go for anyone. Education is the key to endless possibilities.
The sky is the limit, don‘t forget that!‖
