Breast cancer

Breast cancer is a kind of tumor that
threatens a woman’s life. But in order to
understand the full meaning of the term
cancer, we must explore the uses of the
word tumor. A tumor is an abnormal
enlargement of some part of the body.
The breast is the most common site of
cancer in women. It is very common for
some women to find swellings in the breast
which could start as a small lump in one
breast usually without pains initially, but
later the swellings could progress with
enlargements, unbearable pains and
pepperish sensations.
Breast cancer is devastating in nature
because it tends to spread early in the
course of the disease, to distant parts of the
body. When the cancer is detected early,
before colonies of cancer cells have
migrated to other parts of the body, the
natural intervention is quite successful.
In some cases, there could be resurgence of
the cancer in the second breast, in which
case, the patient may need to undergo
another surgical operation like the first one,
to get the other breast removed. There
could be attacks on some internal organs
like the heart and lung, the patients suffer
severe lower back pains, general weakness,
giddiness, pepperish sensations and
swellings (oedema) all over the body.
Women are becoming aware of the possible
tragic outcome of a “lump in the breast”. By
reporting this finding at once to her
physician, a woman can receive the
benefits of early treatment. Not all lumps in
the breast are cancerous. So, it is necessary
to differentiate between a benign tumor
(which is relatively harmless) and a
malignant one (which is deadly).
It is strongly advised that women conduct
self examination regularly. In making this
self examination, she should lie on her back
and use the flat surface of the palm and
fingers (not their tips) as she carefully and
systematically presses the various parts of
each breast against the muscle and ribs
which lie beneath.
In an older woman, past the menopause,
any discharge from the nipple, especially if
bloody in nature, is a serious omen and
should be reported promptly. It may be the
first indication of a beginning cancer.
The natural remedy being suggested
for Breast Cancer is a combination of
natural extracts of herbs such as Ekebergia
senegalensis, Lycopersicum esculentum,
Olax subscorpioidea and Vernonia
amygdalina.
