Don’t forget to do your breast self examinations today! It is so important, for so many reasons, to be familiar with how your own body feels.

Doing self breast exams on the first of every month is an easy way to remember. It’s also helpful to do it the same time each month, as your breasts can feel different at different points in your cycle.

So, make sure to carve out some time in your day today to

It’s breast cancer awareness month, so we thought explaining in simplest form what breast cancer is, can help break down some of the features of breast cancer, it’s manifestations, and help to navigate understanding specific intervention and treatment methods. This week we will do just that. Let’s start with symptoms.

The most common symptom or sign of breast cancer is a painless mass or “palpable abnormality”. Meaning a lump or bump you or your physician can feel in your breast.

Some other symptoms, although less common, include: swelling, breast heaviness or pain, skin changes, dimpling, spontaneous ni**le discharge or ni**le changes, swelling of the breast, redness, or skin thickening among others.

Any of the changes or signs listed above that are persistent warrant a visit to your physician.

Remember

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month & although the diagnosis and treatment requires multidisciplinary team involvement, breast cancer is a very personal journey. We are reminded daily that our patients exercise such fortitude and silent strength in every step along the way. We couldn’t feel more privileged to be a part of their care and share in some of the most intimate moments in their recovery.

Your family history is just as important as your own personal health history. This includes not only your parents and grandparents— but your aunts, uncles, and cousins too! DNA is the invisible string that ties family together. This alone can be enough to place you at a high risk to develop not just breast cancer, but other cancers as well.

So, get the conversation going, jot down the details, and bring it to your next health care appointment. You might be surprised at the recommendations!

Have a happy, healthy, and safe Labor Day Weekend everyone! Don’t forget to pack a mask or two 😷🤗

Let’s chat about Proliferative Benign Breast Disease

There are an array of benign (non-cancerous) breast lesions that are found either from imaging abnormalities or on physical exam, that when found, are typically recommended for excision as they are considered high risk markers.

We don’t refer to these findings as “pre-malignant”, but rather, they are risk indicators that help us to determine a patients elevated risk for developing breast cancer in the future. In addition, at times, when these lesions are removed, an incidental cancer can be found.

The high risk lesions include:

Breastfeeding absolutely comes with its challenges. Between sore ni**les, latching difficulties, and fluctuating milk supply, the development of an infection can feel like a monumental obstacle.

Lactational breast abscesses are —simply put— a collection of pus in an area of the breast, that occurs in women who are lactating. This typically occurs after untreated infectious mastitis (aka infected breast tissue).

The primary signs and symptoms include: localized swelling, redness, pain, significant tenderness to touch, and a palpable mass.

The good news is: this is totally treatable! At LHBC, we are more than fully equipped to treat lactational breast abscesses, so that you and your baby can continue on to a happy and healthy life.

Happy Breast Feeding Month to all of our mothers out there!!

Did you know, it is possible to breast feed after having breast cancer? Depending on the type of breast cancer, if breast conserving therapy was performed and adjuvant therapies, it can still be possible to breast feed upon completion of your breast cancer treatment.

*please consult your cancer care team before doing so (Surgical Oncologist, Medical Oncologist, Radiation Oncologist, Obstetrician, and Pediatrician)
