  3. Woman shares how her quest for beauty cost her her health

    It's a common misconception that skin cancer can just be removed and the patient will easily go on after that. While that can happen, it isn’t always the case.

  7. Getting back on the wellness path

    Breast cancer survivors have traditionally been discouraged from everyday lifting such as carrying around their children or toting groceries. However, pumping up, often feared by women following breast cancer surgery, may be just what they need. Research indicates that a weight-lifting program helps breast cancer survivors prevent or at least ease the common, painful arm swelling condition known as lymphedema.

  8. Massage can soothe body, soul

    Massage has healing powers--both physical and emotional--for breast cancer patients. Though it can't slow or reverse the progression of cancer, it has proven effects of reducing discomfort and leveling mood swings in women, reducing fatigue and pumping up the immune system, says breastcancer.org.

  9. Things happen for a reason

    My name is Michelle Allman (a.k.a. Lady Mea) - President/CEO of Karibbean Under One Magazine (KUOM), and I am a nine year Breast Cancer survivor. Allow me to share my thoughts….my pain….my story. Nine years ago, I heard the most frightening words that no woman wishes to hear "You have breast cancer". As I struggled to absorb the news and began to consider what options I had, it just didn't make any sense, because I never thought I would ever hear those words. Six months prior my oldest sister Valerie was diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer (which begins in the lymphatic cells of the immune system and presents as a solid tumor of lymphoid cells). As I coped with my sister having cancer, I remember thinking to myself, how would I handle something like that? Because I couldn't image what was going through in her mind. As faith would have it, that time did come, and all I could remember were well-meaning friends and colleagues showering me with advice, "get a second opinion," "think positive," talk to someone who's going or been through it." It all sounded reasonable, but was it the best advice for me? That's something I had to decide for myself. Like every woman with breast cancer, you will be faced with so many challenges.

  10. Non-Invasive Surgery New Option For Breast Cancer Patients

    A new study suggests a less invasive breast cancer surgery is just as effective as more extensive surgery for certain patients.  The sentinel procedure removes only the sentinel node: the first lymph node where the cancer would likely spread.
