May is National Osteoporosis Prevention Month

An estimated 10 million people in the U.S. have osteoporosis. An additional 34 million have low bone mass, which increases the risk of osteoporosis. By having a painless and quick bone density exam to identify your risk, you can take appropriate measures to prevent or reduce the impact of osteoporosis.

May is National Stroke Awareness Month

Stroke is the 3rd leading cause of death in the U.S. and the leading cause of long-term disability. Stroke therapy is a promising new method for treating stroke. Carotid (or vertebral) artery stenting is a procedure used to prevent stroke in people who have atherosclerosis in these arteries.

Some patients may want to try complementary therapies in addition to their standard medical/surgical treatment.

Many women have reported that complementary therapies have reduced their stress, the side effects of treatment and have made them feel better.

Additional Options

Following are additional options that some women consider to help treat their cancer or its symptom. If any of these options interest you, discuss them with your doctor.

Complementary/Alternative Therapies

In addition to standard medical/surgical treatment, some patients may want to try complementary therapies for breast cancer. There are many options, including:

Acupuncture/acupressure
Yoga
Relaxation/meditation
Massage
Healing touch
Art/music therapy
Spiritual healing
Nutrition (special diets and/or supplements)

Many women have reported that complementary therapies have reduced their stress, the side effects of treatment and have made them feel better. It’s important to talk to your doctor before using any complementary therapies as they may interfere with your treatment.

Clinical Trials

Doctors all over the country are conducting many types of research studies to find new ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, and treat breast cancer.

Participating in a clinical trial gives you the first chance to benefit from new screening or treatment approaches. Your participation will also help further the study of breast cancer and possibly lead to medical advances that will benefit women for generations.

If you are interested in participating in a clinical trial, ask your doctor whether there are any in your area that are appropriate for you. You can also check out the clinical trials in which INVISION is currently participating.

Hope for the Future

New research and information is coming out daily on new advances against breast cancer. Until the cause and cure for breast cancer can be found, new advances such as a breast cancer vaccine, gene profiling, protenomics and less painful and invasive testing and treatment give us reason for hope.
