Breast cancer presents several risk factors, of which you should be aware.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Breast Cancer Awareness and Associated Risks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>According to research, some essential risk factors can cause a woman\u2019s chance of getting breast cancer to increase. Many factors are commonly known, while others may not be so familiar.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Risks Factors of Breast Cancer<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li>Adolescent weight gain<\/li>\n<li>Late menopause<\/li>\n<li>No pregnancies<\/li>\n<li>Late pregnancies<\/li>\n<li>Increased breast tissue density<\/li>\n<li>Juvenile chest radiation<\/li>\n<li>Oral contraceptives (long-term use)<\/li>\n<li>Post-menopausal weight gain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keep in mind that most senior women with one or more of the above do not develop breast cancer.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Breast Cancer and Screening Expectations<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The time leading up to the screening can be filled with anxiety, fear and sometimes fear. It helps to have an idea of what to expect from the screening. The process is simple, and once you\u2019ve scheduled the appointment, the hard part is over.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is a Breast Cancer Screening?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A <strong>screening<\/strong> consists of an X-ray of the breast area, otherwise known as a mammogram. It can detect cancer before a lump, pain or other physical signs develop. X-ray technicians usually perform mammograms in a private room or area. Precautions are taken to ensure that the process is as comfortable as possible to prevent unnecessary stress or delays in the exam.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>6 Tips for What to Expect During a Breast Cancer Screening<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>#1. Required Dressing:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Clothing is removed from the waist up, and a gown is supplied to wear while being screened.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#2. Mammogram Machine:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The breasts are placed between two plastic plates, and an X-ray is taken of each breast.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#3. Taking the Image:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This part of the process is a bit uncomfortable for most, but necessary to ensure that the tissue surrounding the breast is flattened to provide a clear image.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#4. Post Appointment &#8211; No News:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If there are no issues with the screening, a letter is usually received within 30 days of the initial screening.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#5. Post Appointment &#8211; Follow Up:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If the doctor has any concerns regarding the results, seniors are usually called to return to the office within 5 days for additional testing.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#6. Support Network:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Take a family member or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/victoria\/in-home-care\/\">home health care<\/a> professional for support during the exam.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Breast Cancer Awareness and the\u00a0Treatment Process<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When breast cancer is detected, a medical team assesses the stage of development and develops a treatment plan. Options or suggested plans are discussed with the patient, and any questions can be asked and addressed.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Common Breast Cancer Treatments Include:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li>Surgery<\/li>\n<li>Radiation therapy<\/li>\n<li>Hormone therapy<\/li>\n<li>Chemotherapy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The medical team considers the cancer&#8217;s stage, clinical history, and preferences of all involved before moving forward with prescribed treatment. Aging is a leading factor in abnormal changes in cells. Older women have a greater chance of developing breast cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, seniors must keep all doctor\u2019s appointments and schedule annual mammograms. Family members and home health care professionals can be especially during treatments.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><b>At Comfort Keepers\u00ae Victoria we feel that home is the best place to be.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are concerned about the health and well-being of your aging loved ones we can help with 24-hour care, overnight care, respite care, senior care, companionship care, end-of-life care, post-surgery care, palliative care, personal care, senior living transition services, and much more!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Comfort Keepers\u00ae Victoria provides in-home elderly care services<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Comfort Keepers\u00ae trained caregivers help provide senior clients with the highest quality of life possible to keep them happy and healthy at home.
