Gift Giving for Breast Cancer Patients and Their Families
Did you know that each year, 182,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer and 43,300 die? One woman in eight either has or will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. In addition, 1,600 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 400 will die this year. The above statistics are scary to say the least. If you have loved ones or friends that have been diagnosed with breast cancer, I am sure you've often wondered what, if anything, you can do to help them. Here are some gifts that are appropriate for cancer patients, and their families to give encouragement, and support. Probably one of the most important gifts you can offer, is the gift of your time: time to listen, and time to be with them as they accept the fact that they have cancer, and go through their treatment. A small journal is another idea: they can put on paper their thoughts, their struggles, and their accomplishments as they fight this battle. A book of inspiring, encouraging words will do wonders for their soul. One suggestion would be Chicken Soup for the Surviving Soul: 101 Stories of Courage and Inspiration from Those Who Have Survived Cancer. Don't forget a nice teddy bear they can hug, and a CD of soft, comforting, music. Some cancer patients develop sensitivity to fragrance, so please stay away from scented items. Again, remember that at times, all they need is to have someone to talk to, or hold their hand: be there for them! For your information: If detected early, the five-year survival rate for breast cancer exceeds 95%. Mammograms are among the best early detection methods, yet 13 million U.S. women 40 years of age or older have never had a mammogram. Don't miss your mammogram this year. Several national organizations will have a list of the facilities that participate in National Mammography Day. To find a place near you, call: American Cancer Society
The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation
National Alliance of Breast Cancer Organizations (NABCO)
National Cancer Institute
Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization

Has The Cure For Cancer Been Here All Along? 11/21/08
by: Jane Jarvis
Cancer treatment and medication is a multi-billion dollar industry--so why would hospitals and pharmaceutical companies want a cure?
Have you ever heard of a doctor giving someone with stage 4 or 5 cancer a 90-100% chance of success at beating the disease? I didn't think so. Well, there is a way you can beat these dismal odds. If you, a friend, family member, or even an acquaintance has cancer, wouldn't you like to know the cure?
If you want to know how to beat cancer, you may need look no further than cancercuresecrets.com. They provide information that has been put under wraps for years. Did you know there is a doctor in Mexico who has a 98% success rate with curing bone cancer? Did you know clinics exist that can offer a 90-100% success rate with curing 4 and 5 stage cancers? Did you know there is a new form of super supplement that helps people quietly cure themselves of cancer? Most of us didn't know that there exists a cancer treatment so effective, it kills cancer cells 100% of the time, anywhere in the body, with no toxic side- effects! Unfortunately, most cancer patients don't know about this treatment... and they continue to suffer through hours of debilitating chemotherapy.
For decades, pharmaceutical companies have developed new drugs to help treat the symptoms of diseases such as cancer and AIDS. What about the cause? Why haven't their efforts been aimed at prevention, the cure before the disease? The answer is simple. If you have cancer, the average cost of treatment is $250,000-$750,000. If people didn't get cancer and other serious diseases, these companies would lose huge amounts of money. Their main interest, right or wrong, is staying in business.
Many people scoff at these disturbing ideas. They want to believe that they are in control of their own lives. But if you believe there aren't immoral and unethical people out there just sitting around thinking of ways to make money at the expense of others, you are wrong. We live in a world where people cannibalize their neighbors and blow up buildings full of people, so is it that hard to believe that there are people willing to let you stay sick so they can make billions of dollars?
The answers you need may have been suppressed, but they are out there. Visit http://www.cancercuresecrets.com and find out how you can save your own life and the lives of others.
