What a thoughtful daughter you are! For what itâ€™s worth, as a mom who is herself battling breast cancer, I can tell you what meant so much to me coming from my young daughter. She herself began wearing Breast Cancer Awareness jewelry (earrings and a necklace pendant), had a pink streak put in her hair in honor of breast cancer awareness, and bought a Breast Cancer Awareness keychain for her backpack. Nothing shows a mom with cancer greater support than a daughter who herself dons such things. While wearing all that publicly (which truly touched my heart), what my daughter *personally* gave to me was a letter telling me how much I have meant to her, recounting all her favorite memories of the times weâ€™ve shared. For your own mom, I can't help but think there is no greater gift than that. Generally speaking, breast cancer jewelry is bestâ€”and most meaningfully--worn by the LOVED ONES of the cancer victim. You canâ€™t begin to imagine how much that show of support means to a mother fighting cancer. No mom with cancer wants to be given the message that she herself is fighting this cancer â€˜aloneâ€™ (though Iâ€™m sure you never meant it that way). If you give her anything at all to show you care, let it be a letter telling her how very much she has meant to you, and how much she matters in your life. And then YOU be the one to don the jewelry showing your utmost support of her. You can find reasonably priced Breast Cancer Awareness items at http://www.pinkribbonshop.com/ Keeping you in my thoughts, and wishing you and your mother the very best

Is it true that drinking water from plastic bottles left in the car may cause breast cancer

Is it true that drinking water from plastic bottles left in the car may cause breast cancer?
I heard chemicals are produced in plastic water bottles after being left in the heat of your car, and drinking this water may cause breast cancer.

I heard this also...i believe it to be a serious possiblity...I use to work at a plastic factory, i'd sware i'd get high off those fumes...I actually quit a week before the place blew up...all that aside, I'd be cautious. Apparently, this is how Sheryl Crow may have gotten breast cancer, because it was not heriditary for her...
3 :
No. It's not true. It's an Internet myth. If Sheryl Crowe believes that than she was fooled too. The American Cancer Society has a report about this latest 'urban myth' about plastic bottles left in the car. It's not true. Urban Legends: Heated Plastic Causes Cancer http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/cookplastic.asp Top Ten Unfounded Health Scares: Plastic causes cancer http://www.acsh.org/healthissues/newsID.1021/healthissue_detail.asp ACS: Myths and Half Truths http://www.cancer.org/docroot/MED/content/MED_6_1x_Reusing_Plastic_Water_Bottles.asp?sitearea=MED "Plastic Water Bottles Email: The original version of this email begins by saying â€œMany are unaware of poisoning caused by re-using plastic bottles,â€ and says â€œbottles are safe for one-time use only; if you must keep them longer, it should be or no more than a few days, a week max, and keep them away from heat as well.â€ The email says the bottles contain DEHA, which it calls a potential carcinogen. A newer (2007) version of the email quotes an unidentified doctor as saying women should not drink bottled water that has been left in a car because the heat and the plastic of the bottle have certain chemicals that can lead to breast cancer. Fact: These emails are apparently based on a studentâ€™s college thesis. In fact, DEHA is not inherent in the plastic used to make these bottles, and even if it was the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says DEHA "cannot reasonably be anticipated to cause cancer, teratogenic effects, immunotoxicity, neurotoxicity, gene mutations, liver, kidney, reproductive, or developmental toxicity or other serious or irreversible chronic health effects." Meanwhile, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), says diethylhexyl adipate "is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans

You have a 0% chance of having breast cancer. In the history of medicine there has never been a 12 y/o with breast cancer. Move on with your life.
7 :
50% chance
8 :
It's kinda common for boys to get "breast budding" during puberty. It might last about a year, and usually just goes away.
9 :
Breast cancer can occur in males, but it is very rare. When it does happen, it is most often in a man older than 50 years of age (the average age is 60) and it is usually related to hormone disturbances. Breast cancer in adolescent males is virtually unheard of. However, teenage boys going through puberty commonly develop a tender lump under the nipple of one or both breasts. This condition is called â€œgynecomastia.â€ It is normal, temporary, and not a sign of breast cancer. Don't worry about it, Your just a bit of a hypochondriac.

i actually had the same thing goin on when i was that age. it felt like the size of a small grape. the doc said it was a cyst, therefore nothing to worry about, but he removed it and did a biopsy anyways. he was right there was nothing to worry about...
16 :
do u have any history of breast cancer or any type of cancer in the family? if no. you have a lesser chance in having a breast cancer and is that lump hurts when you touch it?? is it fixed or is it movable?
17 :
The chances are as close to zero as makes no difference. If a 12 year old girl had breast cancer, it would make news headlines the world over, and be written up in medical journals worldwide because of its EXTREME rarity. A 12 year old boy with breast cancer would cause a much bigger sensation than that. Yes, men CAN get breast cancer; it's rare though - fewer than 1% of those diagnosed with breast cancer are male. And most men diagnosed with it are over 60, though through breast cancer support networks I have met a very few men in their late 40s and 50s with breast cancer. In the town where I live there is a man who was diagnosed with it at the age of 24. I don't know him, I know about him - his case made the papers because he is the youngest man EVER to have been diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK, the youngest by many years. 80% of all people diagnosed with breastcancer are over 50. It's rare in women under 40, fewer than 0.1% of women diagnosed are under 30, and it's almost unheard of in under 25s. So you can see how unlikely it would be for a pre-teen male to have breast cancer Your family are right; most breast lumps in men are gynaecomastia, a button-like growth under the nipple and areola area that can be felt and is sometimes visible to the naked eye and occasionally it can be quite tender. This increase in the amount of breast tissue is not a tumour and occurs due to changes in hormone balances at times like adolescence - your age in other words. This is almost certainly what you have; mention it to your doctor next time you see her/him so that s/he can reassure you

Is It Weird To Dye My Hair Pink In Support Of Breast Cancer Research

Is It Weird To Dye My Hair Pink In Support Of Breast Cancer Research?

nope!!! half of my hair is pink right now!! : ) I say do it!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wc31CXaglV0
4 :
I mean, it's your head and it is a great cause! A lot of people dye their hair pink just for the heck of it- at least you have a reason you can discuss with people and bring more awareness to the cause. I say go for it!
5 :
Google hair dyes & cancer spec. black hair dyes which is made from tar. Some people smoke & tan all their lives and do not get cancer. But there are 2nd hand & 3rd hand smoke who are now carrying their oxygen tank so they can breath or have cancer. Same with hair dyes. I've responded 3 in the last 15 mins. 9-26-10. If you're not affected today, or next month, you may never be affected and you're one of the lucky ones. It doesn't take overnight, it takes years of hair experimentation with hair dyes. Here's a new article I found re: henna, which is supposed to be better for you than reg. box dye. It's a good read! http://www.hennaforhair.com/ppd/pjackson.html One example on someone who had re-bleached her hair now they're falling out. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100717233532AAFk6f9&r=w&pa=AptqD2bwHTHc6eiPYKA0tpdDGjt2NBPtjz3M.sEZY.iYLg--&paid=voted There are many ways you can support Breast Cancer. We raised $50,000 this year for Sail for the Cure. How much did YOUR RAISED, by dyeing your hair pink?
6 :
No I don't think it's weird. I think it actually cool. Although I would be careful, you said it was for research, if your school allows it then go a head but if not then I wouldn't risk getting into trouble. And ps- if you do do it just make sure to get it done professionally, my grandma owns her own salon and I have seen the horrid mistakes people can make and sometimes they're reeeeally hard to fix hope I helped!
7 :
i think thats a great idea go ahead with it
8 :
Maybe some people will think it's weird but who cares? If you have a job, it might be a good idea to check with your boss first, but otherwise, I say go for it. I can't think of a better reason to dye your hair pink. If you're concerned about what others think, maybe you could also wear the pink ribbon. Then, anybody with half a brain will figure it out. People who know you shouldn't mind, and people who are bothered by it aren't worth your time.

Whats the chance of me getting breast cancer

Whats the chance of me getting breast cancer?
I have more the 3 people in my family who have died of breast cancer and I am scared I might have it because my breasts are always aching me and I'm only 17 so I just wanna know of I might have it or at risk?

I would say you definitely have a risk of getting breast cancer since so many people in your family have had it. You should definitely talk to a doctor. You should also get mammograms once a year to make sure everything is normal. :)
2 :
You should have a breat exam done to find out for sure and beginning after your 20th birthday you should start getting an annual breast exam done.... Also it is important to get to know your girls so that if there are changes you will know right away, you can visit this website for instructions on how to do a self exam and get more information on breast cancer http://www.cancer.org/docroot/cri/content/cri_2_6x_how_to_perform_a_breast_self_exam_5.asp
3 :
What relationship were the people who had breast cancer? A parent, sibling or child is a 1st degree relationship. A grandparent, grandchild, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew is 2nd degree. A great grandparent, cousin, etc is 3rd degree. Etc Keep in mind that less than 10% of breast cancers are hereditary. In any 100 women, 95 have a 1 in 8 risk, 4 have a 1 in 2 risk and 1 has a 1in 2 risk. Unless you have 2 or more first degree relatives with breast cancer, you probably fall into the 95% with a 1 in 8 risk. Aching breasts is not an indication of breast cancer, it is a sign of a poorly fitting bra or hormones (particularly in week prior to your period).
4 :
First, aching breasts are not a symptom of breast cancer - most people diagnosed with it have felt no pain. The chances of breast cancer at 17 are very, very close to zero, and the chances of having it in both breasts at once are smaller still. Breast cancer is almost unheard of in under 25s (let alone teens); fewer than 0.1% of all those diagnosed are under 30 and only 5% under 40. Most (80%) are over 50. I was classed as a 'younger woman' when I was diagnosed with breast cancer - I was 50. Hereditary breast cancer is rare - only 5-10% of all breast cancers are hereditary, and they are due to a rare inherited faulty gene. Breast cancer diagnosed after the age of 50 is even less likely to be hereditary. A sign that breast cancer MAY be hereditary within a family is when several members of the same side of that family have had it, especially if some developed it at a younger than usual age. In such a case, genetic testing for one of the rare faulty genes known to be responsible for hereditary breast cancer, BRCA1 and BRCA2 may be recommended. Even if the breast cancer cases in your family were among the 5 - 10% that are hereditary, you can only inherit the faulty gene if one of your parents carries it, in which case you have a 50% chance of inheriting it - though inheriting the gene doesn't mean you'd definitely get breast cancer. If one of your parents doesn't carry the gene, nor will you A friend of mine has had breast cancer, and been found to carry one of the faulty genes; her three adult daughters have all been tested - one has inherited the gene, the other two haven't. Even where breast cancer is hereditary, the chances of developing it at 17 are still just about zero. Aching breasts is hormonal and perfectly normal. Talk to your mother about all this

How old are you? If you are younger breast cancer is less likely, but saying that it can happen at any age. Have you felt your breasts thoroughly for any lumps and bumps? It would be advisable to go to your GP and explain the situation to help put your mind at rest and you can always ring NHS direct at anytime and speak to a nurse. if your GP is worried and you have a family history of cancer then he/she wil send you for further tests like a mamogram. Also, has a partner been near your nipples say with his teeth?! This part is personal experience by the way...my nipple is extremely sore at the minute, this is after my boyfriend was having a play and caught me with his teeth! Im sure you don't really want the details on that but if its a possibility for you? Good luck though, im sure you will be fine
