Resolved Question: Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation Monies Distribution?

Does any one know what the percentage of the money the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation raises actually goes to research?

Please provide a reference if you can. Thank you.  more

Resolved Question: Which celebrity would come to my school to talk about Breast Cancer for charity ?

. Every year we run an event called the Breast Cancer Brunch for a Cure where the community comes out and enjoys a complimentary breakfast and listens to guest speakers educate about early detection and risk factoes. Local buisnesses provide the food and raffle prizes. We have survivors tell stories about their hardships and we feel that a visit from celebrities would be the best thing that had every happened to Bay Shore. It would encourage soo soo many people to join us. One little visit can help save millions of lives. All donations go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The money goes directly to labratories to help find a cure.  more

Resolved Question: Hey guys. How many of you are as pissed off as I am about the inequities of male vs female cancer research?

It seems like all the support and research money goes to breast and cervical cancer research while testicular and prostate cancer are all but forgotten about. Hell, there are a couple thousand breast cancer foundations but I cant find 1 testicular or prostate organization. They now even have a supposed vaccine to prevent cervical cancer. Wheres the research or development for all us? All I want is some equality in the research time, money, and in treatment. I've even called places like American Cancer Society, civic groups, many other non profit organizations nobody wants to do anything to help with this or start an organization. So I wanted to hear all your feedback  more

Resolved Question: the silent killer want women to know?

The Silent Killer: Inflammatory Breast Cancer May 7, 2006 By Michelle Esteban Video : KOMO 4 NEWS There's one type of breast cancer that is incredibly difficult to detect, and it's a cancer women know virtually nothing about. The Silent Killer: Inflammatory Breast Cancer Tools Email This Story Printer-friendly Version SEATTLE - Breast cancer is something women think they know all about: Look for lumps; have mammograms; see our doctors. But none of that will save you from one silent breast cancer killer that women know virtually nothing about. It's called "inflammatory breast cancer," and it's something every woman must know about. Nancy Key didn't know. "I was furious and at the same time, terrified that I was going to die, 'cause I didn't know," she said. What Marilyn Willingham didn't know, killed her. "She smiled and took a breath and went to sleep," says Phil Willingham, Marilyn's husband. And Kristine Turck didn't know. "It's gonna be a tough fight," says Kristine. They didn't know there was more than one kind of breast cancer. They didn't know they could get breast cancer without a lump. They didn't know a mammogram would not detect this kind of breast cancer. They didn't know Inflammatory Breast Cancer - or IBC - is the most aggressive form of breast cancer. They didn't know, until they got it. Almost Never A Tell-Tale Lump "How can I have something when I go to the doctor every year, I do self breast exams every month and what is this? Why am I surprised?" asks Nancy. We've all been taught the same thing when it comes to breast cancer -- we look for a lump. But when it comes to IBC, forget that! You won't find a lump. "Inflammatory breast cancer almost always presents itself without a lump," says Breast Cancer Specialist Dr. Julie Gralow. Inflammatory breast cancer appears in sheets of cancer, or what doctors call cancer nests. The cancer clogs breast tissue vessels. "If I had heard of it prior, I probably would have been more suspect that something was wrong rather than just young and dumb," says Kristine Turck. Kristine was just 37 when she was diagnosed with IBC, three years away from the recommended age to start mammograms. Patti Bradfield can never forget the day her daughter Kristine told her. "I have the kind that I'm gonna die," says Patti Bradfield. Patti had never heard of IBC either. "Ignorance is causing death," says Bradfield. Getting The Word Out Patti is determined to warn every woman she meets. "Have you heard of inflammatory breast cancer?" Bradfield asks a woman walking by on a Kirkland street corner. "I'm not trying to sell anything. My daughter has stage 4 and I'm just trying to alert women." She stopped 46 people on that corner, and 42 never heard of IBC. "Oh my God, I never even heard of it, thank you for the information," says a young mother. "The interesting thing is most women have never heard about IBC and most physicians heard about it in med school but never have seen a case," says Dr. Gralow. Nancy and Marilyn's doctors told them they had bug bites on their breasts and prescribed antibiotics. By the time Marilyn was diagnosed, she was stage 4 and the cancer was everywhere. "I never dealt with stages of cancer, I didn't know there wasn't a stage 5," says a dumfounded Bradfield. Know The Symptoms Andi was just 16 when she died from IBC. She was too embarrassed to tell her mother her breast looked funny. It was slightly enlarged and her nipple was inverted -classic IBC symptoms. Other symptoms include: rapid increase in breast size, redness, skin hot to the touch, persistent itching, an orange peel texture to the breast and thickening of breast tissue. "It's important to understand your breast, no one knows your breasts better than you," advices Dr. Gralow. "It doesn't happen very often so there isn't as much awareness about it," says Lynn Hagerman, Executive Director of the Susan G. Komen Foundation's Puget Sound Affiliate. IBC accounts for about 6% of all invasive breast cancer cases. Lynn Hagerman runs the local chapter of the Susan G. Komen Foundation. With their pink ribbons and messaging heard nationwide, they are the undisputed leader in breast cancer awareness. In 20 years the foundation's work has helped boost survival rates from 75% to 95%. "One in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime," says Hagerman. Hard To Find IBC Information She admits with all the emphasis on a lump, inflammatory breast cancer patients may not get enough warning. In fact, it's hard to find information on IBC even on the Komen Web site. IBC survivors say that and not being included in awareness campaigns makes them feel left out. "It's all about them, it's not about the good for everyone else," says Turck. And, survivors tell KOMO 4 when they were diagnosed, they called Cancer Centers and couldn't get help. So, we called four cancer help lines in Seattle, and 3 out of 4 didn't know about IBC. "It stands for Inflammatory Breast Cancer, 3 separate words," I tell one center. Even when I spelled it out, they still didn't know. "I just want to be sure, I called the resource desk at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, is that right?" I asked. When her own helpline didn't know, that shocked Dr. Gralow. "Wow... which means we have education of our own staff to do," admits Dr. Gralow. More Money Going To Research All the cancer centers do a good job creating breast cancer awareness, but more information on IBC will help to ensure that women know what to look for. Dr. Gralow assured us that the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance is spending research dollars on IBC. Komen says it is too. Dr. Gralow is also working with the National Cancer Institute and will participate in the " State of Science" conference to be held next April in Bethesda, Maryland. She says IBC is on the agenda. Since our initial report, the Susan G. Komen Foundation told KOMO 4 News they need to do a better job with IBC awareness and that they're redesigning their Web site and creating a better search engine to make all information, including IBC more accessible. The best way to detect IBC is to know the warning signs and ask for an MRI or a biopsy for detection.
