What you need to know...breast cancer awareness...
Being aware when it comes to breast cancer prevention is the first step to keeping yourself healthy. For Women with a normal risk of breast cancer, it is recommended that the following guidelines are followed:
Ages 20-39: A breast exam with a doctor every 1-3 years and self examination is always encouraged.
Ages 40 & over: Annual exam with doctor and screening mammography.
Ages 65-70: Some people believe that mammography's are not necessary after the ages of 65-70 but several cancer societies do recommend that women of these age groups continue screens.
Self examination is crucial as many women or their spouses are first to find a lump and self exams allow the individual to monitor their body for skin changes, discharge from the nipple and areas of pain or tenderness.
If you are diagnosed with breast cancer, it can be very scary. If chemotherapy is part of your treatment plan, it is important that you plan ahead for the hair loss that sometimes follows chemotheraphy treatments. At Donte's of New York, we understand that you are already going through a lot with your diagnoses and hair loss makes the process that much more difficult. We always recommend that you seek a hair loss solution prior to starting your chemotherapy regimen. This allows us to create a natural look that will make you feel your best during this difficult time.

Lobular Carcinoma (the part of the breast that produces milk).
Breast Cancer may be invasive-spread from the milk ducts or lobules to other breast tissue or non-invasive-not yet invaded other parts of the breast tissue.
There are several tests to identify breast cancer:
Mammograms-help screen and identify breast lumps
MRI's-Better identify breast lump and evaluate an abnormal change on a mammogram.
Ultrasound-Shows whether the lump is solid or fluid filled
Biopsy-Studies the pathology of the tissue
CT or Pet Scans-Used to identify if the cancer has spread.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Everyone is affected by breast cancer in one way or another. Early detection is the only way to prevent the devestating results of this horrible disease. Donte's of New York, wants to help educate you and your loved ones during this month and remember those that were lost by this deadly disease.
- One in eight women are effected by breast cancer
- Breast cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer death in women, surpassed only by lung cancer. Fortunately, death rates from breast cancer have been on the decline since 1990 with the largest decreases in women below the age of 50. Earlier detection and screening are thought to be the the biggest reasons for the decline.
- 5%-10% of all breast cancers are hereditary and so if it runs in the family, getting checked out regularly is a must.
- Hormone therapy has been associated with an increased risk of breast cancer and heart disease.
- If caught at an early stage, the risk of dying from breast cancer, can be reduced by 25%-30%.
