Learn more about new research that shows breast cancer may be
more difficult to detect in women who have undergone breast
augmentations.
October 01, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Breast cancer affects
millions of families every year. After skin cancers, breast cancer
is the most common type of cancer among American women. One in eight
women will develop invasive breast cancer during her lifetime.
Fortunately, when detected early, breast cancer can be quite
treatable. However, according to a new study, women who have
undergone a breast augmentation may be at a higher risk for
delayed breast cancer diagnosis. The results of the study
indicate that mammograms are less effective at picking up
abnormalities in women with breast implants.
Mammograms Less Than Half as Effective for Women With Breast
Augmentations
A mammogram is an x-ray of the breast that is used to look for
breast diseases in women. When anything out of the ordinary turns up
on a mammogram, follow-up screening is used to confirm or allay
suspicions of breast cancer.
Researchers at the University of Southern California reviewed the
medical records of 5,005 breast cancer patients who had received
treatment over the course of the last 15 years to determine whether
mammograms were any less effective at revealing breast abnormalities
present in women who had undergone breast augmentations. The results
were startling: among those patients with breast implants,
mammograms failed to reveal an existing abnormality in 36 percent of
cases. In contrast, the false-negative rate for mammogram screening
among non-augmented women was just 15 percent.
Both silicone and gel implants are radio opaque to some degree;
this means they appear as white "blobs" in x-rays. In a mammography,
this whitening out can obscure the visualization of underlying
breast tissue, making it more challenging to detect irregularities.
In addition, implants may displace and compress surrounding breast
tissue, potentially causing early warning signs of cancer like micro
calcifications and small dense masses to be distorted in mammogram
imagery.
The findings of the University of Southern California study were
presented at the 2011 American Society of Breast Surgeons' annual
meeting.
A Special Responsibility for Doctors
Mammography is the preferred examination method for breast cancer
screening, and its widespread use has contributed to the decreasing
rate of breast cancer mortality. But, in 2010, nearly 300,000 women
underwent breast augmentation surgery, a 39 percent increase
compared to 2000.
As more women receive breast implants, physicians should take
special care to ensure that cancer signs are not overlooked due to
an overreliance on mammogram technology. Women with breast implants
should consider asking their physician for a clinical breast exam
(in which a health professional feels the breasts for lumps) or an
MRI breast scan to supplement a mammogram. In addition, breast
ultrasounds (also known as sonographic screening) have been shown to
be a valuable supplement to mammograms, especially in women with
unusually dense breasts. Utilizing any of these alternative
cancer-detecting technologies can lead to better patient outcomes.
The earlier signs of breast cancer are discovered, the better the
prognosis for the patient; misdiagnosis can have severe, often
deadly health consequences. If a doctor failed to immediately detect
breast cancer in you or a loved one, contact a medical malpractice
attorney today to explore your legal options.

Earthquake Empath & Sensitive
~ Breast Implants Can Cause You To Be A Super Conductor of Electro-Magnetic
Energy - Sensing Earthquakes, Volcanic Eruptions, Severe Weather, etc.
I recently inadvertently discovered several manifestations
of my being a super-conductor and Earth Empath due to the large amounts of
silicone remaining in all of my organs and body. The first was well over a
year ago. I had been working up to swimming numerous laps in the pool.
My entire body was level at the surface of the water as I did a basic swim
crawl. However, prior to a large earthquake, I could NOT keep my body
level with the surface of the water in the pool, no matter how hard or how fast
I tried to swim. My body was bent from the waist down, my legs pointing to
the center of the earth. Bizarre? Yes, I know. This weird
manifestation of earthquake prediction repeated many times. I verified my
body being pulled toward the electromagnetic center of the earth by checking the
USGS website. I also receive notification of earthquakes worldwide and
specifically in California with a magnitude of 3.0 or greater.
The second physical symptom is
low blood pressure. I have experienced extremely low blood pressure.
My doctor tells me I should be grateful, but I tell her that if blood pressure
is too low, it makes one depressed and extremely weak! Sure enough, I was
visiting my Uncle in Arizona the last week in January. He checked his
blood pressure with a wrist blood pressure device. I would suddenly lose
all of my energy and become very weak. I asked him if I could use his
monitor, and sure enough, my blood pressure varied from 82 over 59. Too
LOW! I did not have access to a computer, but when I returned home, I
checked the times I took my blood pressure and it was very low and sure enough,
the drops in my blood pressure coincided with large earthquake activity.
After my return from Arizona,
I purchased an Omron Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor a few days ago. Today,
my blood pressure dropped like a rock at approximately 1:00 p.m. I took my
blood pressure and it was: 94/50 Pulse Rate: 101 They just
announced on the local news that there was a 3.2 magnitude earthquake off the
San Clemente Islands occurring at 4:35 PM. I took my blood pressure a few
moments ago and it is now 127/75 and my pulse rate is 88.
I highly recommend that
if you experience any of the physical symptoms that you purchase an OMRON
automatic blood pressure monitor and keep a log of your blood pressure and
compare it to earthquakes reported by
www.usgs.gov and sign up
for their earthquake bulletins.
I discovered earlier this year by doing research on the
internet which states that silicone is a non-conductor of electro-magnetic
energy at very low temperatures which is why it is used in computers.
However, Silicone at HIGH temperatures (as in my body) becomes a super conductor
of electro-magnetic energy. I realized this is what has made me a
super-conductor sensitive of earthquake, volcanic eruptions, & hurricanes - YUP,
as a new friend emailed me - I certainly AM Earth, Wind & Fire! HA!
I laughed and told him yes, but it had never occurred to me before - as I was
tour photographer for Earth, Wind, & Fire on the Spirit Tour in the 1970's.
I suggest you keep a log of your
physical symptoms - including: sleep interruption, inability to sleep,
dizziness, migraine headaches, weakness (feels like all your energy is
drained from your body), depth perception off (spilling drinks or dropping
things), back or neck pain, sudden depression for no obvious reason,
tottering. You are very susceptible if you have had severe injuries to
your head, neck or spine and/or have breast implants of any kind.
Then sign up for earthquake and volcanic eruption bulletins from USGS
and match your log to the earthquake and volcanic eruption activity. I
believe many, many people are earthquake and volcanic eruption sensitives
but never associate their physical symptoms with this activity. More
and more people are emailing me - after going through extensive medical
tests and the doctors finding no known physical reason - they thought they
were going crazy.
I began receiving many more emails from concerned
people who had a multitude of medical tests for their bizarre, seemingly
unrelated symptoms, asking if I thought they are 'Earth Empaths'.
