FIGHT AGAINTS BREAST CANCER
Breast cancer have been a big issue in this time super stars are been donating so thney can help fight breast cancer. This is how breast cancer comes along by stages.
It shows how to prevent or whom you go when u need to treat best cancer:

Breast cancer staging is a critical component of developing each individual’s personalized treatment plan. Below are the universally accepted descriptions of each breast cancer stage:

In stage 0, there is no evidence of cancer cells breaking out of the part of the breast in which they started, or of getting through to or invading neighboring normal tissue. This very early breast cancer stage is sometimes interpreted as a precancerous condition.

Stage 1 Breast Cancer

Stage 1 is an early stage of the disease, in which the tumor measures up to two centimeters and no lymph nodes are involved.
Women with early stage breast cancer may have breast-sparing surgery (e.g., lumpectomy) followed by radiation therapy as their primary local treatment, or they may have a mastectomy (removal of the entire breast) with or without breast reconstruction to rebuild the breast. Sometimes radiation therapy is also given to the chest wall after surgery. In addition, chemotherapy and/or hormone therapy may also be given to try to destroy any remaining cancer cells and prevent the breast cancer from recurring. 

Stage 2 Breast Cancer

Stage 2  breast cancer describes invasive cancer in which the tumor measures between two to five centimeters, or the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm on the same side as the breast cancer. Stage 2 breast cancer is divided into subcategories known as stage 2A and stage 2B. 
Stage 2A – There are three ways this phase may manifest itself:
  • There is no tumor found in the breast, but cancer is found in the underarm lymph nodes.
  • Cancer in the breast spans two centimeters and also encompasses nearby lymph nodes.
  • Cancer located within the breast is larger than two centimeters and smaller than five centimeters, but does not affect the lymph nodes.
Stage 2B – This stage may include one of the following:
  • The tumor is between two and five centimeters and has spread to underarm lymph nodes.
  • The breast cancer tumor is larger than five centimeters, but lymph nodes remain unharmed.
Women with stage 2 breast cancer may have breast-sparing surgery (e.g., lumpectomy) followed by radiation therapy, or a mastectomy (removal of the entire breast) with or without breast reconstruction to rebuild the breast. Women may also have lymph nodes under the arm removed. Sometimes, women have chemotherapy before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) to shrink a tumor, or after surgery (adjuvant therapy) to destroy any remaining cancer cells and prevent the cancer from recurring. Women may also have a combination of other therapies, such as hormone therapy.

Stage 3 Breast Cancer

Also called locally advanced cancer, in stage 3 breast cancer, the tumor in the breast is more than two inches in diameter across and the cancer is extensive in the underarm lymph nodes, or has spread to other lymph nodes or tissues near the breast. Stage 3 breast cancer is divided into subcategories known as stage 3A, stage 3B, and stage 3C.
Stage 3A – This stage is defined by either of the following:
  • The tumor measures larger than five centimeters.
  • There is significant involvement of lymph nodes. The nodes clump together or stick to one another or surrounding tissue.
Stage 3B – This stage is defined by either of the following
  • Cancer has spread to tissues near the breast, such as the skin or chest wall. The tumor may range in size.
  • Underarm lymph nodes or those beneath the breast under the ribs may be affected.
Stage 3C – Cancer may or may not be in the breast and may have spread to the breast skin or chest wall. Cancer permeates lymph nodes around the collarbone and may also be in the lymph nodes surrounding the breast bone.
Women with stage 3 breast cancer may have chemotherapy and/or targeted therapies first in order to shrink the tumor to make surgery possible. After surgery, women may have chemotherapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy or a combination of treatments to help prevent recurrence.

Stage 4 (Metastatic) Breast Cancer

In stage 4, the cancer has spread beyond the breast, underarm and internal mammary lymph nodes to other parts of the body near to or distant from the breast. The tumor may have spread to the supraclavicular lymph nodes (nodes located at the base of the neck, above the collarbone), bones, liver, lungs, skin or brain.
Women with metastatic breast cancer will receive treatment based on where the cancer has spread. The bone is the most common site of spread from breast cancer. Treatments for metastatic breast cancer to bone may include orthopedic oncology, hormone therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy or a combination of treatments.

Recurrent Breast Cancer

Recurrent breast cancer means the disease has returned in spite of the initial treatment. Most recurrences appear within the first two or three years after treatment, but breast cancer can recur many years later. This type of breast cancer may come back in the breast, chest wall or in other parts of the body.
Breast cancer that returns locally (i.e., in the area of the surgery) is called a local recurrence. If the disease returns in another part of the body, it is called metastatic breast cancer. Women with recurrent breast cancer will receive treatment based on where the cancer returned.

SATUDAY IS DRUG TAKE-BACK DAY

Now days there as been alot of people arrested because of selling the drug or consuming it, people with money needing are the ones who are most attemt to sell the drug so it can be easy money but the prize of making easy money would be the jail. Teens are most command to sell drugs at school to make money because they don't find work or just because they don't find a good job, people who sells the drug don't care what the consecuenses would be they just care about having money alot of money. People who have a family and have issues finding work or not having alot of money accept the work the drug dealers give them. And then after having alot of money one day someone cough u selling drug you go to jail and be there 10 years or more, but they didn't stop for a second and say if i want more money later i can suffer the consequences of my actions, i think the best choice is to stay the way people are and don't b e messing around things that would have really bad consequences . Drugs are bad they completely ruin people's lives and the people around them, people think they are in control when really they are not and there is no talking to them either because they are right in their eyes,Each drug has a different capture ratio...as in if you try it once, probably you will become addicted to it. Nicotine ironically has the highest capture ration, followed I believe by heroin and then crack, cocaine, etc. Not everyone will become addicted, but we are talking ratios around 96-98%. So means your experimenting has a very high chance of becoming addiction. Marijuana's capture ratio is extremely low, in the 20s or something like that, and is usually addictive to people who have a mentally addictive personality.
In MY opinion i think that drugs and alcohol destroys relationships and familys. Many children lievs with fear every day because someone in there family is addicted to one of these drugs. They lives in a family there they dont feel safe, they cant bring friends over because the feel ashamed. These children does not have the same childhood as we. They parents only care about what the love most.
