24 — Friday, April 24, 1992 — North Shore News Surgeon speaks to breast cancer support sroup GENERAL SURGEON and .well-known lecturer on breast cancer and breast disease, Dr. Patricia Reb- beck, will speak to Bosom Buddies, a support group for women who have expe- rienced breast disease or breast cancer, on Monday, April 27. According to statistics, most women diagnosed with breast cancer discovered the lump or other breast irregularity themselves, either accidentally, or by practising monthly breast self-examination. When given time, breast cancer is capable of invading other parts of the body, most commonly the liver and lungs, through either the blood vessels or the lymphatic system, ‘ Even a small lump, five to six mm in diameter, may have already spread to other parts of the body so it is very important to diagnose breast cancer and provide treat- ment as early as possible. Every woman should check her breasts for lumps, indentations or other unusual conditions regular- y. -The treatment for breast cancer differs according to the size and spread of the tumor. It can range from removal of the tumor and surrounding tissue to removal of the whole breast (mastectomy). This may be accompanied by chemotherapy and radiation. Breast cancer has a higher oc- curence in women with mothers, sisters or other female members of their family who have had cancer. _A common. question is how can a woman diagnosed with breast cancer keep her daughter from getting it. ‘Rebdbeck will discuss self-ex- amination procedure, the impor- tance of mammography and cur- gent treatment policies. She wil! address post-operative risks and recovery as well as reconstructive surgery. Rebbeck will also talk about: what women with breast cancer should be telling their daughters. The Bosom Buddy meeting will be held on April 27 at 7:30 p.m. in the Fireside Room, Delbrook Baptist Church, 515 W. Windsor St. in North Vancouver. For more information, call 926-1178 or 984-4460.
