What's the size of a breast cancer tumor?

learnlooklocat... 📣📣 What if we had a visual to help us understand what a tumor could feel like? Like this one Dr. Julie Reiland, a breast surgeon for over 20 years, carries a small, jagged rock in her pocket to show women who ask what a tumor could feel like. The stone that she carries is 1 cm smaller than the length of a dime.
One cm is about the smallest cancer that can be felt with a breast exam. If you notice anything different, make sure you go to your doctor and be an advocate for yourself. Its so important to know what a tumor could feel like. One of the reasons that Learn Look Locate was started was because the founder Cynthia Stage 2B was diagnosed with a walnut sized tumor and had no idea she had one.
It was possibly growing for over five years. She never felt sick and never once did a self breast check. Yet she got normal mammograms for 13 years. How does this happen? Breast cancer can come in many forms, so make sure you check your normal and be sure to tell your doctor if you notice any changes and don't give up.
Make sure you advocate for yourself and don't let anyone tell you that you're too young for breast cancer.
Cynthia Jordan, Founder of Learn Look Locate LLC in 2018 has generated a global movement to provide critical education for the early detection of breast cancer. It is estimated that one in eight women in the United States will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. While most of these cases are diagnosed in women over the age of 50, the disease can affect women of any age. Early detection is critical to survival, yet many women are not familiar with the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.
We advocate the importance of self-breast exams, what to look for when performing a self-exam, and when to see a doctor. We provide resources for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, as well as for their families and friends.
The five-year survival rate for women who catch their cancer early is nearly 100%. Here’s an important statistic. Many women do not perform self-breast exams or see a doctor for regular screenings. Learn Look Locate LLC wants to highlight the work of organizations around the world that are working to promote early detection of breast cancer. We will feature stories of women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and share their journeys.
There are several ways to diagnose breast cancer, including mammograms, biopsies, and ultrasounds. Once breast cancer is diagnosed, there are a few treatment options available, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. The best way to treat breast cancer is to catch it early and to get the best treatment possible.
There is a strong community of women who have been affected by breast cancer. In addition, there are a number of organizations and resources available to help women find the support they need.
Learn Look Locate LLC provides resources for women who want to get involved in the fight against breast cancer.
