Breast Cancer Awareness Month



October has always been synonymous with the Halloween spirit, but it is also a very important month for women all around the world.

"Pinkwashing" in your local businesses has been criticized for being, "passive" and "superficial" (Huffington Post); but ultimately the power of bright pink, positive thoughts and actions have reclaimed the dark and scary October days.

Did you know: One in eight women will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I Bar Inc has decided to donate 1/8th of every purchase on Wednesday, October 24th 2012, to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. In addition, if you come into our Emeryville, Menlo Park, or Walnut Creek locations wearing pink--you can get double credits on your threading punchcard!

Doctors and scientists are trying to discover how and why certain changes in DNA cause normal breast cells to become malignant and develop into cancerous tumors. Although they do not yet know the cause of breast cancer, there are recommendations to help prevent breast cancer and promote early detection including regular breast self-examinations, clinical check-ups & mammograms.

Know the risk factors:

• The highest risk factors are being female, aging, and physical inactivity
• Menstrual history: if you began menstruating before age 12 or completed menopause after age 55
• Family history of breast cancer
• Your risk increases slightly if you are currently using the pill or have in the past 10 years
• If you have never had children or had your first child after age 30
• If you consume one or more alcoholic drinks a day
• If you are overweight; especially after menopause
• If you have been exposed to Chest radiation therapy as a child or young adult
• If you carry the genetic mutations BRCA1 or BRCA2
• Post menopause hormone therapy can increase your risk
• High breast tissue density: this is a mammographic measure of the amount of glandular tissue relative to fatty tissue in the breast

Know the symptoms:

• A new lump or mass
• A hard mass with irregular edges that is painless
• Discharge from the nipple - NOT breast milk
• Redness or pain in the nipple, or on the breast skin
• Nipple retraction (turned inward)
• Swelling of the breast that is generalized with no distinct lump

Know the statistics:

• Men - an estimate of 2,190 new cases will occur in 2012, with 410 deaths
• In 2012 the American Cancer Society estimates that 226,870 new cases of invasive breast cancer (stages I-IV) will be diagnosed among women in the US, with 39,510 deaths--roughly one death every 13 minutes.
• Only 5% of breast cancers diagnosed are Stage IV (metastasized)
• In the United States a woman will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer (on average) every 2.3 minutes
• Breast Cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer
• 1 of every 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime

Merchants and retailers across America have adopted October as Breast Cancer Awareness month and raise millions of dollars to support Breast Cancer Research charities.

Halloween Safety Tips

Ghost, ghouls and monsters aren't the only things to be afraid of on Halloween. Accidents and mishaps increase dramatically when children trick-or-treat.

To avoid the many dangers children face while trick or treating, use common sense. Be aware of potential Halloween hazards and take precautions to eliminate them. Consider heading for an indoor Halloween party and bypass any chaos or danger.

 

Halloween Costume Safety

• Wear flame retardant costumes.
• Make sure your Halloween costume is colorfast so the color doesn't run onto your other clothes if it rains.
• Try on costumes before Halloween to allow time for altering.
• Hem your costumes so you don't trip and fall.
• Apply reflective tape to your Halloween costumes.
• Avoid cumbersome masks. Use make-up instead.
• Use only hypoallergenic and non-toxic makeup.
• Wear comfortable, practical shoes.
• Double tie your shoelaces so you don't trip.
• Keep your costume and wig away from candles.
• Don't carry fake swords, guns, knives or similar accessories that look authentic. Make sure they're flexible and cannot harm anyone.

 

Trick-or-Treating Tips

• Plan your route ahead of time.
• Trick or treat in familiar neighborhoods.
• Carry a flashlight with fresh batteries after dark.
• Take along money for a phone call.
• Wear identification that's easy to read.
• Always trick or treat in groups, accompanied by an adult.
• Follow a curfew and take a watch with a backlight.
• Stay on the sidewalks and out of the streets. Cross only at intersections and designated crosswalks.
• Walk. No running.
• Don't trample through flower beds and gardens.
• Watch out for open flames in jack-o-Lanterns.
• Walk with your head up and be aware of your surroundings.
• Only visit well lit houses. Don't stop at dark houses.
• Don't enter any houses unless you know the people.
• Carry a spare Halloween bag, in case yours breaks or you fill your original one.
• Don't approach unfamiliar pets and animals.
• Don't cut across yards and stay out of backyards.
• Follow traffic signals and don't jaywalk.
• Always watch for cars backing up or turning.
• Review the "stop, drop and roll" procedure in case your costume catches on fire.
• Never accept rides from strangers.
• Respect other people and their property.
• Be polite and say "thank you."
• Don't eat any candy until it's inspected for tampering under bright lights.
• Avoid candy that has loose wrappings, is unwrapped, has puncture holes, or is homemade.
• Small children should not be allowed hard candy they may choke on.
• Report any suspicious or criminal activity to an adult or the police.
• Consider having a party instead of Trick or Treating.
