Body Fat, Not Body Weight, May Raise Breast Cancer Risk

Being overweight is considered a major risk factor for many chronic diseases, including breast cancer. But how much weight is overweight? And at what point does excess weight become a health risk factor? Doctors typically rely on Body Mass Index (BMI) charts to distinguish healthy from unhealthy weights. Body Mass Index takes into account both weight and […]

Why Some of Us Don’t Die in Peace

Why are some people not able to die in peace? Maybe it’s because they avoided confronting the inevitable truth that all life ends. Maybe they were so busy living that they failed to plan for end-of-life, thinking there would always be more time. Maybe they’ve never been happy in life and desperately want to keep living in hopes of one day knowing happiness. […]

Bright Light Therapy for Cancer-Related Fatigue

Set aside time to rest, eat well, hydrate, and exercise regularly. These are common recommendations for self-managing cancer-related fatigue (CRF). Easier said than done, right? Well, there’s another low cost and low burden intervention that sounds promising and may be worth exploring. Growing evidence suggests that bright white light (BWL) therapy may be effective in reducing CRF. A 2014 […]

Stage IV and Living Fully

At age 54, I had known such good health that my entire medical history could fit on one page. School was going to start in a week and I was High School Science Department Chair. Teachers needed to be trained, labs prepared, schedules set… so much to do! After all, I felt no one else […]

To be healthier after treatment ends, Quit Trying

“Now that my treatment is done, I’m TRYING to start exercising again,” said my new client. “It’s just not working and it’s making me crazy. Can you help?” “Absolutely,” I replied. “But you have to QUIT TRYING. “What do you mean?” She looked confused. “I’ll explain. But first, tell me if this is the crazy you’re […]

Breast Reconstruction Revised

At least once a week, someone comes to my office, feeling a little awkward about her consultation. She is not happy about her (old) reconstruction, but thinks that she should be happy just to have “breasts.” They are (fortunately) rarely about surgeries originally done by me. However, nobody is perfect and every situation is a […]

Face the Fear

Every woman lives her life in fear of the mammogram that comes back with an abnormality. In my case, that abnormal mammogram led to an MRI-guided biopsy and a diagnosis of Pseudoangiomatous Stromal Hyperplasia (PASH), an uncommon breast disease. Though benign, PASH tumors can mimic or obscure cancerous growths. I had a lumpectomy and another biopsy […]

Breast microbiota differ in women with breast cancer

The human body is a highly complex ecosystem made up mostly of microorganisms, otherwise known as bacteria. The National Institute of Health’s Microbiome Project estimates that bacterial cells outnumber human cells 10 to 1 in the human body. It’s therefore logical to question what role these microorganisms play in human disease and wellness. Most research to date […]

Combating Cancer with Mind-Body Therapies

“Like a house protects one from the sun, hatha yoga protects the practitioner.” This is an ancient saying from the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, essentially the medical book of yoga written thousands of years ago. It reminds us that a person who strives to build a lifestyle that protects oneself creates a foundation to rebuild the […]

Belly Fat Protein and Cancer

Research shows that those who are overweight are at higher risk of developing cancer, but how or why fat promotes cancer development is not known. Not all fat is created equal when it comes to how our overall health is impacted. Visceral fat, also referred to as visceral adipose tissue (or VAT), is the fat that accumulates in […]

Genetics and Cancer

Approximately 10 percent of all cancers are hereditary, which means they are caused by a damaged cancer-fighting gene inherited from your mother or father, one that can be passed on to your children. The remaining 90 percent of cancers are sporadic and can be caused by a variety of factors – environmental exposures, lifestyle habits, […]

Can’t afford a Mammogram? There may be help.

It’s almost October and time for many reminders about the importance of mammograms. Breast cancer is scary but early detection often means that it is curable. Putting off an annual mammogram can cost you a lot more than money. Here are just a few of the many resources in our area: MammoMoney at the Women’s […]

Pillow Comfort Following Breast Surgery or Biopsy

One of the handiest items for anyone facing breast surgery or after a biopsy is a small heart shaped pillow. While any small pillow is good, we like the heart shape for pillows for a number of reasons: It stays in place under the seatbelt or under the arm and doesn’t move, like a rectangular […]

Why Palliative Care Plans Don’t Mean You’re Giving Up

Cancer is a terrible disease that affects many people either directly, or indirectly. Because of this, many people will understand that in lots of cases there is no cure for their loved ones. Instead, palliative care plans must be put in place and honest discussions about the future need to be had. Palliative care is not […]

6 Tips to Help You Through Chemotherapy Treatment

“Cancer” is a frightening word. A cancer diagnosis typically causes feelings of stress, anxiety, and fear. The word “chemotherapy” often accompanies a cancer diagnosis and can add to those fears. Sometimes it is the fear of the unknown, other times it is fear about the difficult side effects that are often talked about. At Suncoast Cancer […]

Gold Nanoparticles Prevent Breast Cancer Cells from Migrating

Any breast cancer diagnosis instills fear, but it is metastatic breast cancer that threatens and takes women’s lives. Metastatic breast cancer is cancer that originated in the breast but has spread to other parts of the body. Diagnosing and treating breast cancer before it spreads is the clinical goal, but what if science could devise […]

Aldehyde Exposure Triggers Cancer Susceptibility by Degrading BRCA2 Gene

Among the many misunderstood, over-simplified genetic cancer stories, BRCA gene mutations stand out. We all carry copies of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes and thankfully so, given that the BRCA genes are tumor suppressor genes. It is when there is a mutation in either the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes that the risk of developing breast cancer (and […]

How BPA Exposure May Reduce Effectiveness of IBC Drugs

Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is the most difficult type of breast cancer to cure in part due to its ability to quickly develop resistance to cancer treatment drugs. Bisphenol-A (BPA) is a nearly ubiquitous chemical substance used in plastic food and drink containers and in epoxy resins (such as those used to seal food cans). In […]
