Breast Cancer Nursing: Breast Care Awareness

Breast cancer continues to threaten women’s health all over the world despite the many advances in treatments in recent years. Nurses need to actively use their health training and counsellor roles to educate women about risk factors for #breast #cancer and ways to reduce them. Breast care nursing has a varied role which can range from breast care awareness for people without breast cancer to assisting those with a breast cancer diagnosis, and helping patients going through #surgery, #chemotherapy, #radiation_therapy, #adjuvant therapy, and in the event of any recurrence of the #disease. Since the 1970s breast cancer services have witnessed considerable changes in the management of #patients. One significant change was the introduction of specialist core personnel, including the breast care nurse. Cancer nurses including the #BCNs should develop and participate in programmes of research in line with cancer legislation in order to build an evidence base that ultimately supports their unique role.

In most cultures, the breast carries a special significance. Breasts signify womanhood and femininity, the feeding of babies, and sexuality. The importance of women’s breasts and a diagnosis of #breast_cancer can render the journey through #diagnosis and #treatment especially difficult. Therefore, women who received a diagnosis of breast cancer should receive the highest level of holistic nursing care for as long as they need this support. Women’s accessibility to healthcare services varies depending on the country where they live. However, wherever they live, they are scared. They want to be informed and to be guided in learning about #surgical and reconstruction options. They want to be supported when they grieve for their removed breasts and hair loss. They do not want to have pain, vomiting, and hot flashes. When the treatment process ends, they want to ask questions and get answers that will help them begin their lives again. All women, no matter where they live, deserve information and support as they navigate the journey of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. Yet, the reality is many countries do not have the same treatment infrastructure as other more developed countries.

Fighting Breast Cancer

About one in eight women will develop #breastcancer during her lifetime, and aside from skin cancer, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed #cancer in women. Although death rates from breast cancer have thankfully declined over the last several years, it's still important to check yourself for breast cancer. Breast Cancer can be devastating for any woman. If you are above 50, your struggle will increase significantly. There are a few things that you can do apart from the treatment that will help you fight breast cancer. This includes keeping your weight in check, being physically active, eating fruits and vegetables, avoid alcohol and cigarettes, etc. Getting yourself educated regarding breast cancer is the most important step. You need to learn all there is to learn about your cancer and what are the best ways to treat it. There are two types of patients. After getting diagnosed with cancer, some of them want to know everything they can immediately. Then there are others who aren't comfortable knowing too much about their condition. Whether you want to know everything about your condition or not, you need to talk to your #doctor and resolve all your queries. Write down all the questions you have before meeting with the doctor. It is always good to have a friend or a family member accompany you to your appointments. They not only provide support but also act as another set of ears. A friend is a much better option in this case because family members are too close to this and are as upset and emotionally vulnerable as the patient. Many cancer patients fear consciously or subconsciously that if they get upset about something, their family members or the doctors will abandon them. This fear multiplies tenfold when the patients are old because they know they will need their support. Speaking with other #survivors will not only give you hope but also help in getting the right treatment. Many previous cancer patients volunteer to help other #cancer patients with the same diagnosis. Breast cancer is one of the most treatable forms of cancer, but when it #metastasizes in its later stages, removing tumors becomes more difficult, which can have a significant effect on the survival rate.

Breast Cancer Awareness

Simple blood test could spot #breast #cancer five years before any symptom. Experts said the method was “promising” and could be used to screen women, replacing #mammograms and allow treatment to start far earlier, when it is most likely to succeed. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, with around 55,000 #women diagnosed annually, and around 11,500 deaths. The new research, presented at the National Cancer Research Institute’s conference in Glasgow, found that a blood test could identify changes in the body’s immune response to substances produced by #tumour cells. Scientists said larger trials were expected to improve the accuracy of the test, which could become widely available within four years. Cancer cells produce proteins called #antigens that trigger the body to make #antibodies against them. These are called “#autoantibodies”. A blood test for early breast cancer detection would be cost effective, which would be of particular value in low and middle income countries. It would also be an easier screening method to implement compared to current methods.
