PRESENTATION

Hi! Good morning teacher, and classmates, and Its a pleasure to have the presence of our
supervisor here in our exposition.
My name is __________ and my classmates with whom ive prepared this lecture are _______ ,
___________ and ____________ .
We really hope that all of you could enjoy this class, which we consider a very important
topic.
Today, we are going to talk about the breast cancer, as you know, in this month of
October, we use to celebrate it, well, actually its not a kind of celebration, because its
not something that make us feel joy in our hearts or lives, when i said this word, i was
talking about that we use this month to try to create awareness about the importance of
this illness.
You could ask yourselves: Why should i care about it? Its because all of us have women in
our lives that we love or appreciate, for example: our mothers, sisters, aunts,
grandmothers, friends, neighbors, and others
But also, its necessary to know that the men could get it too, its not quite common as
with the women, but it is vital to know it.
The breast cancer is a very common illness, and it is esential to try to fight against it,
because if the people could have enough knowledge about how to detect it, and also about
the possible causes or how to reduce the probabilities to get sick, we consider that it
would be easier to do something against it.
The most important is to give them the knowledge, because if they understand, they are
going to act, it doesnt matter if only person is brave enough to do something, because if
this person fight against it, he or she would be able to feel comfortable thinking that he or
she couldve saved a life. And i believe that if you are able to feel love in your heart, youre

going to try to do something, instead of just stay in the same place without doing anything
good with your time, and that would be a waste of time, and probably its going to be sad
or dissapointing when you get notified that its too late, and you had the opportunity to
act, but you didnt, and if youre not strong enought, your soul is going to get full of sorrow
at the death of your related or friends, and i think that anyone would like to feel in that
way, therefore we must act, its the time to create awareness in the people, we must start
with the ones who are close of us, but it doesnt mean that were not going to try with
other ones, because everyone is a worthy person, and if you love yourself, youre going to
act, as one of my Friends said There is a golden rule that you must follow and it is the
next one: Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even
so to them. It doesnt matter if they do not listen to you, but at least its not going to be
your fault, because youve tried, and its going to fill your soul of peace.

INTRODUCTION
Despite other classmates have talked before about the breast cancer, to make the awareness
its esential to remember that the cancer is considered one of the most common severe
problems of clinical medicine.
The cancer is a complex disease that result from an uncontrolled growth of the cells, and
this proliferation creates a mass that invades the body, and if it is not treated on time, it
is invariably fatal.
But as i said before If its not treated on time, so we must act and move as soon as
possible, thats the doctors reasson to tell us to make some clinical and lab studies every
year, and if it exists a family and personal background of any kind of cancer, it becomes
more importantly to do it each 3 or 6 months, depending the information brought by
the oncologist on charge.
That means that if someone detects it on time and accepts to do the treatment, there is
a light of hope to survive to this disease, theres always hope, its not impossible if its
detected on time and get a good treatment.

BREAST CANCER MYTHS

There are a lot of different myths and its important to tip-off the population about
them, because they couldve gotten wrong information, and now i will mention some of
them:
1) If i get it, i will die:
a. Its fake, as it has been said before, if it is detected early and well treated
theres a big percentage to survive.
2) If my mother had breast cancer, ill get sick too:
a. Its right that if your mother got it, the chances of get it are duplicated, but
it just increases a 3% of probabilities.
3) Its a womens illness.
a. Thats fake! Its true that most of the people who got this disease are women,
but the men are not excluded to get it, but its only in a few clinical records
about it, because its not as commos as with the women, but if you are a man,
you have to check yourself too.
4) If i do exercise and do a diet, ill never get breast cancer:
a. Unfortunatly, its not a guarantee, but these positive activities reduce the
chance to get the disease.
5) Wear some tight underwear, like brassieres with dipstick
a. Its only a myth, it has not been proved, and this kind of lingerie is only use
for aesthetic or womens vanity, or their desire to be good-looking.
b. They are some opinions which say that its because they block the lymph fluids,
but there isnt any research that support it.
BREAST CANCER TRUTH
1) Early menstruation, before the 8 years
2) Keep a sedentary life, without a good and vary diet full of vegetables and some
substances in the food that use to fight against the cancer or to prevent it, and be
obese and eat a lot of junk, greasy and sweet food.
3) Its dangerous to do not get pregnant, or lactate a child before of the 30s.

4) Smoke and drink alcoholic beverages increase the risk.

5) Menopause late.
6) Take hormonal treatments for years without doing some pauses or without
interruptions.

THE FIVE STEPS OF A BREAST SELF-EXAM

Step 1: Begin by looking at your breasts in the mirror with your shoulders straight
and your arms on your hips. (Looking for usual size, shape, and color)

Step 2: Now, raise your arms and look for the same changes.

Step 3: While you're at the mirror, look for any signs of fluid coming out of one or both
nipples (this could be a watery, milky, or yellow fluid or blood).

Step 4: Next, feel your breasts while lying down, using your right hand to feel your left
breast and then your left hand to feel your right breast. Use a firm, smooth touch with
the first few finger pads of your hand, keeping the fingers flat and together. Use a
circular motion, about the size of a quarter.

Step 5: Finally, feel your breasts while you are standing or sitting. Many women find that
the easiest way to feel their breasts is when their skin is wet and slippery, so they like to
do this step in the shower.

DIFFERENT SIGHTS OF BREAST CANCER

Patients sight:
Most ot them feel sad and depressed, and they could have negative attitude, but they
need help, they must be helped by their related, because only a few number of persons
who received this notice feel hope. Its hard to them to let others to get in their lives
because they think that they only do it for mercy and they do not want to feel that,
they need to feel loved, not the mercy of the surrounding people.
Some of them do not want to do the treatment, because the missing hope in their hearts,
and because they do not want to spend their last days laying in the bed or dealing with
the idea of dying in the hospital.
Familys overview:
Most of them try to convince them to do the treatment, because the patient could reject
it so its a big labor to them to work together, and its a moment where they must be

closer and fill of love to that person, and support him or her and try to not show
mercy, because if they do it, its going to become more painful for everyone
Doctors overview:
A surgical oncologist treats cancer by removing diseased tissue and often nearby lymph
nodes, the parts of your immune system that act as filters, where cancer may spread.
Surgery is the oldest form of cancer treatment. It is often used in conjunction with
medical oncology treatmentsincluding chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and
immunotherapyand radiation oncology treatments.
Survivers background:
A surviver usually supports to other persons who have cncer, and give some different
advices to help others to stand the prove.
1) USE HUMOR (It is possible for you to try and use humor to lessen your emotional
and physical pain and cope with The Horror Of It All)
2) DO AS MUCH AS YOU CAN WHILE YOU ARE RECUPERATING (Its helpful to do
some different activities or read some comedy or soap operas to get your mind
busy, it helps a lot to be distracted).
3) SEND LETTERS OF APPRECIATION (These letters must be to the medical team and
the hospital supervisor, this condition uses to create negative feelings, but the person
must be positive and try to thank to others, because if the person is depressed, its
easier to get worse, and the medical team suffer too, they use to try to have a cold
heart, but when they lose a patient, some of them feel sad and depressed because
they have failed, therefore if the person writes them good notes and support them,
they will appreciate his/her patient it also makes the patient feels better, and
makes them feel good)
- CONCLUSSION
As conclussion we can say that its essential to make some changes in our lives, but also
try to create awareness into the people, specially with those who are surrounding us, if
we love them, were going to motivate them in their condition, and also if theres no

person who has this disease in our close circle of friends, we can give more information to
the people.
Repeat this phrase I support breast cancer awareness and believe in you, because you
can save a life, and theres nothing more important than help to others, and were going
to be blessed by doing good actions.
Remember the good things happens to people that do good things.
