What is breast cancer？
Breast cancer is an abnormal growth and sprawl of this tissue cells.
The breast is made up of a number of mammary glands, which produce milk after giving birth, and those who are called lobes and lobules.
The lobes are connected by pipes, ducts breast, which are the leading milk to the nipple, during lactation, to feed the baby. Glands (or lobes) and the ducts are involved in breast adipose tissue and connective tissue, which, along with the lymph tissue, forming the breast.
As a containment wall, serving the pectoral muscle that sits between the ribs and breast.
The skin covers and protects the entire structure breast.
The lymphatic system is made up of containers and vessels or pipes that contain lead and lymph, a colorless liquid made up of white blood cells, mostly lymphocytes. These cells recognize any foreign substance to the body and release substances that destroy the agent aggressor.
A GOOD MEDICINE
Arimidex is used alone or with other treatments such as surgery or radiation to treat: breast cancer in postmenopausal women (women who no longer have their menstrual periods). Arimidex belongs to a class of drugs called non-steroidal inhibitors of aromatase. It works by reducing the amount of estrogen in the body. This can slow or stop the growth of many types of cells that produce breast cancer and who need estrogen to grow.
Keep this medication in its container tightly closed and out of reach of children. Store at room temperature and away from excessive heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Discard any medicine that is expired or no longer used. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of medicines. Additional information Comply with all appointments with your doctor. Do not allow other people to use their medication. Ask the pharmacist any questions you have about how to renew the prescription. Arimidex can cause osteoporosis or worsen an existing osteoporosis. The disorder lowers the density of their bones and increase the prospects that will break or cracks. Talk to your doctor about the risks of taking this medication to determine what you can do to reduce those risks.

Spontaneous Breast Cancer Remission
Though many woman dread that yearly mammogram, we've all heard often enough that early detection of breast cancer saves lives... finding lumps when they're too small to feel and before they get a chance to grow and spread gives you the best chance for a cure.
Or does it?
A recent study of mammography screening for breast cancer found that some invasive cancers might spontaneously regress over time, leaving no sign that they were ever present in a woman's body.
This leaves us to question if breast cancer is over diagnosed, and therefore over treated.
The research, conducted by Norwegian scientists, used 119,472 female subjects aged 50 to 64 years, who underwent three rounds of mammography (one mammogram every two years) from 1996 to 2001 as part of the Norwegian Breast Cancer Screening Program.
The cancer rates in this group were compared with the cancer rates of 109,784 control subjects who would have been screened if the program existed back in 1992. The control subjects were invited to have a one-time mammogram at the end of the observation period.
The team had expected that no matter when they were detected, the number of breast cancer tumors would ultimately be the same between the regularly screened group and the never screened controls.
As the researchers expected, the 4-year cumulative incidence of invasive breast cancer in the screened group was higher than in the non-screened control group - 1268 vs. 810 cases per one thousand women.
However, the surprise finding of the research was that even after the one time mammography was given to the previously unscreened control group, the six year cumulative incidence of breast cancer in the mammography screened group was still higher - 1909 vs. 1564 cases per one thousand women.
The study authors couldn't explain this.
There were no obvious differences between the two groups, and since that all important cumulative incidence of cancer in the control group never reached, even after one time screening, the mammography screened group of subjects, it lends support to the idea that some cancers found on repeat scans wouldn't show up on a single scan at the end of six years.
The study authors note, "This raises the possibility that the natural course of some screen-detected invasive breast cancers is to spontaneously regress."
Perhaps as many as one in five cancers detected by mammogram might, in fact, spontaneously resolve.
And since two out of three breast cancer tumors are estrogen driven, the drop off of the hormone as women age and go through menopause suggests that cancer cells are naturally starved of the very hormone they need to grow and thrive.
The tumors might disappear altogether or shrink and lie dormant. The discontinuation of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) as a treatment for menopausal symptoms and the dramatic decrease in breast cancer rates lends fuel to the idea that hormones may fuel the growth of some cancers.
While this study is absolutely not a recommendation to skip your yearly mammogram, it does raise an intriguing question about cancers that may resolve themselves... without our ever knowing or treating them.
"If the spontaneous remission hypothesis is credible, it could cause a major reevaluation in the approach to breast cancer research and treatment," says cancer expert Dr. Robert M. Kaplan of the University of California, Los Angeles, and Dr. Franz Porzsolt, from the University of Ulm, Germany in a related story that appeared with the study.
In effect, it could in the future lead to an approach that is already used for a well known cancer in men, prostate cancer, where a "Watchful Waiting" approach is sometimes advised.

Information to Cure Breast Cancer
If you can cure breast cancer through lifestyle changes, why is it we have those 3 awful treatments that are in place today for the problem? That is called "The Politics of Cancer". Breast cancer and all other cancers, when first diagnosed most definitely can be cured by a change in lifestyle but don't expect it to be endorsed by our mainstream medicine - there is no profit in it.
The causes of breast cancer are well known. There are many people who know these facts and if you've been diagnosed with the breast cancer it's this information you need. A hundred years ago breast cancer was a rare disease. Today it has become a major problem. The highest rates of breast cancer are in all the developed countries and it's rare in undeveloped countries, so it's not difficult to find the reason why it is occurring today.
The way to cure breast cancer through lifestyle changes are to remove the known causes and use the amazing self-healing powers of the body that we all possess. The human body possesses a superb system of natural defences against all diseases, including cancer. It will cure cancer naturally and permanently, so it won't spread or return. Remember, if the body is smart enough to create cancer, then it makes sense that it must be smart enough to cure it also.
Breast cancer is caused by the way we live with our high consumption of processed foods, most of which have a high proportion of fat, salt or refined sugar, all known contributing factors to cancer. Also processed foods are all old food and are nutritionally dead foods. Some other causative factors for breast cancer are diets high in animal products, the consumption of alcohol everyday and the use of hormone therapy.
Our sedentary lifestyle has a big influence on why there is so much breast cancer. The car is mostly responsible for our lack of exercise and then there is the television set which doesn't exactly encourage exercise either. These days we surround ourselves with labour saving devices, none of which helps the human body get the exercise it so badly needs. The reason we need exercise is that our immune system, which is our all important built-in repair system, needs muscular activity to allow it to function properly.
The chemicals we use on a daily basis also have an effect on why one get breast cancer and all these chemicals come from the petro-chemical industry. There are hundreds of them and the ones that have been suspected to cause breast cancer are the chemicals in antiperspirants, sunscreens, and hair dyes. While some of these chemicals have been tested for short term reaction, none have been tested for long term health problems like cancer.
Lastly stress in the form of emotional stress or unforgiving stress is known to bring on all cancers. If you've had a major disruption in your life like a death of a love one or financial crises seek the help from a guidance councillor.
By changing your lifestyle you are addressing the causes of breast cancer, not just the problem, which is the cancer growth. The reason one gets breast cancer has very little to do with the breasts, that's only where the problem is, and that is why the cancer returns with the treatments today, they haven't addressed the underlying cause; they've only removed the symptom of a problem.
Healing is quicker and more effective if a person takes central responsibility for their health and has an active involvement in the healing process. A change in lifestyle with the correct diet is your first line of defence.
