Yoga Helps Breast Cancer Survivors Get Better Sleep
A recent report on a study showing that yoga helps breast cancer survivors get better sleep may change my mind on the practice. I have attempted yoga a few times in my life and each time I come away thinking it was OK, but it didn’t do anything for me. If I am going to be active, I like to do something a little more intense like skiing, mountain biking or kayaking. As much as I enjoy these activities however, I love my sleep even more!
The study was conducted by Karen Mustian a researcher at the University of Rochester Medical Center. It revealed that cancer survivors, most of them from breast cancer reporte...

Its a webex session meaning that you can participate remotely.I learned about this program by being subscribed toJohns Hopkins Artemis (which provides the best information on new breast cancer research).

Ultraviolet Bad: Surgeon General Issues A Call To Action To Prevent Skin Cancer
(Note: This blog was originally published on another American Cancer Society website on July 29 because of technical problems on this site. Those have now been resolved and it is now reposted here. We appreciate your understanding.)
"Ultraviolet bad."
That was the core message that came out of the introduction Tuesday morning of the Surgeon General's Call to Action to Prevent Skin Cancer at a meeting held at the National Press Club in Washington DC.
There were some other messages that now raise skin cancer awareness and prevention high on the public health awareness list, such as the fact that over 5 million people ...

3 Traits That Can Help You Beat Breast Cancer
I often contemplate the traits that help people overcome adversity. I especially love to talk to people who have beat breast cancer and tell their stories like triumphant warriors. For a while I attributed their power to optimism, now I know better.
Years before I was diagnosed with breast cancer, my cousin told me that she couldn’t get cancer because she is an upbeat and optimistic person. I am sure she thought I was lacking in her optimistic spirit when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. She may have overlooked the fact that although we come from the same genetic line that tested positive for the BRCA 2 genetic mutati...

Enjoy your Coffee and Fight Breast Cancer
I started drinking coffee because of breast cancer. After treatment I knew my brain wasn’t functioning quite as acutely as before the diagnosis, so coffee gave me the added ability to focus. I later learned that coffee was helping to address the effects of chemo brain. Now there are other reasons for breast cancer survivors to drink coffee. A study out of Sweden this month finds that women who are on the drug Tamoxifen and drink at least two cups of coffee a day have a reduced risk of recurrence of the disease.
This was a pretty extensive study of 600 women over a 5 year period. CBS reported this wethat researchers found...

Two New Reports From eHealth Initiative Provide Valuable Information On eHealth Tools For Cancer Patients
Since we have started the conversation about eHealth tools in my previous blog this week, I thought it might be worthwhile to explore some of the other applications and internet based programs that may be useful to cancer patients.
As I wrote in early February, I have become (and remain) infatuated with apps that have helped me track my activity and my diet. They have made a big difference for me and others I know, and continue to keep me motivated and on target. The larger question, however, is whether we can harness electronic media to help us live healthier lives, get better control of our health, or if we have an illne...

The Flu Is One Gift That We Don't Have To Keep On Giving For People With Cancer
It's the holiday season, a time of reflection, celebration and for many, giving gifts. But there is at least one gift that no one wants to get, and certainly no one wants to give: the flu. And for people with cancer, and those they come in contact with, the flu can be a very serious event. For that reason and many more, people more than 6 months old-and especially those in contact with people who have serious illnesses like cancer-should get vaccinated against the flu.
Too many of us think the flu is a minor inconvenience. But that is almost certainly because we confuse the typical cold or upper respiratory infectio...

For Cancer Patients, It's Not Just About What's Now But Also What's Next--And We Can Help Answer That Question
Here's an insightful comment from me: Social media has gripped our world, the way we live, the way we interact, what we know and influences what we do. (OK, stop laughing: I'm not a Luddite, but needed somewhere to start this conversation.)
At times, I wonder where all those folks (usually young folks) find all that interesting stuff they send to each other on a such a constant basis that it seems their smartphones are a direct extension of their fingertips. So much to say right now! I can't imagine there being that much that is so important that people walk down the street mesmerized by those things.
But maybe that is jus...

Unmet Needs of Cancer People
Finally someone figured out that there might be unmet needs of people after a cancer diagnosis. A study was recently done:" Cancer[people*] face unmet needs. These are needs which lack enough service or support for survivors to achieve optimal well-being. Understanding the needs of cancer survivors can help guide services and support to meet the needs of [people*]. "To complete this study, they asked over 9000 people one question:" Please tell us about any needs you have now as a cancer [person*] that ARE NOT being met to your satisfaction " .Only one question. But they could answer how they wanted and ...

Study investigates treatment regret among prostate cancer survivors
As they get older, do men with prostate cancer come to regret the treatment decisions they made? A new study of men diagnosed during the mid-1990s indicates that some of them will.
Richard Hoffman, a professor of internal medicine and epidemiology at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine in Iowa City, led a team that reviewed survey data that men filled out one, two, five, and 15 years after they were treated for prostate cancer. All 934 men included in the study were 75 or younger when diagnosed, each with localized tumors confined to the prostate gland. Approximately 60% of the men had low-risk prostate cance...
