I previously interviewed Dr. Funk during last year’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Dr. Funk has been active in breast cancer awareness, surgery, and treatment since she was Director of Patient Education at Cedars-Sinai Breast Center in Los Angeles. In 2009, she left to open the Pink Lotus Breast Center. She is truly a treasure trove of knowledge and a dedicated warrior in the fight against breast cancer. I will include some of the great things I learned from talking with Dr. Funk over the next few blog entries. One of the important things we discussed was the role of diet and exercise in reducing the risk of breast cancer. More evidence continues to emerge to support findings that breast cancer is affected by a woma...

The Shanghai Breast Cancer Survival Study examined 5042 female breast cancer survivors in China. Women aged 20 to 75 years with diagnoses between March 2002 and April 2006 were recruited and followed up through June 2009. Information on cancer diagnosis and treatment, lifestyle exposures after cancer diagnosis, and disease progression was collected at approximately 6 months after cancer diagnosis and was reassessed at 3 follow-up interviews conducted at 18, 36, and 60 months after diagnosis.

Most hot flashes are mild to moderate in intensity and they typically stop occurring after a time (usually within six months to two years), with or without therapy (although the exact timing cannot be predicted). Some women experience severe symptoms that prompt them to seek treatment. It is also estimated that some 50 to 75 percent of women use some form of alternative treatments for their symptoms, including soy products, herbal products (especially black cohosh), vitamin E and acupuncture. For most of these therapies, there is little scientific evidence to prove they work. In many cases, however, the data are conflict...

True or false: Women with no family history of cancer are at low risk of developing cancer themselves? Answer: false. While it’s true that having a family history of cancer increases your risk to a small degree, the vast majority of cancers occur in people with no family history of the disease. But in a recent survey, nearly two thirds of women (63 percent) mistakenly answered that lack of family history equates with a low personal cancer risk. That’s the bad news. The good news is that as many as half of all cancer deaths could be avoided through sensible lifestyle habits (not smoking, eating properly, exercising) and getting routine recommended cancer screening (mammography, colonoscopy and pap smears, for breast, colon and cervical cancer re...

First she had bone cancer and lost her leg to the disease. Then she had breast cancer and was given little hope from doctors who thought traditional treatment could not save her. Maybe it couldn't. But Wolff found something that did save her -- a macrobiotic diet.Life is all about balance, says Wolff who authors a website rich in content about the connection between diet and a healthy lifestyle. She offers up-to-date information on her blog, links to recipes and resources, a calendar of events, and a look at her very own book, titled, Becoming Whole, The Story of My Complete Recovery from Breast Cancer.
