BREAST CANCER (KANSER PAYUDARA)
Cancer is a disease where the body’s cells multiply more rapidly than normal. This uncontrolled increase in the number of cells results in a lump which is known as a tumor. These abnormal cells can invade nearby tissues and organs and can also spread through the lymphatic system to other parts of the body. This is why doctors check the lymph nodes under the arm if you have breast cancer – to see if the breast cancer cells have spread to the lymph nodes via the lymphatic system.
Ketulan pada payu dara memang kerap berlaku. Setiap wanita yang mempunyai ketulan dalam payu daranya tidak sepatutnya membiarkannya tanpa mendapat nasihat, pemeriksaan dan ujian daripada doktor. Langkah ini penting kerana ketulan itu mungkin barah, walaupun kebanyakan ketulan dalam payu dara bukan daripada jenis barah. Kadar barah payu dara di negara barat seperti Amerika Syarikat adalah satu dalam 10 orang wanita. Di Malaysia kadar barah payu dara juga meningkat mencapai kadar negara maju.
8 Tanda-tanda barah payudara adalah seperti berikut:
1. Ketulan dalam payudara. Tanda ini adalah yang paling lazim didapati di kalangan wanita berpenyakit barah payudara. Ketulan itu tidak menimbulkan kesakitan dan biasanya disedari secara tidak sengaja seperti semasa mandi ataupun semasa pemeriksaan sendiri payudara.
Kadang-kadang ketulan disedari oleh orang lain seperti suami atau doktor yang memeriksa payu dara. Lazimnya ketulan terdapat pada bahagian atas dan luar payudara (upper outer quadrant). Barah juga berlaku pada bahagian tengah, atau atas dan dalam payudara tetapi pada kadar yang rendah.
2. Terdapat ketulan kelenjar yang membesar di bahagian ketiak.
3. Terdapat cairan/ lelehan seperti darah atau nanah yang keluar daripada puting payudara.
4. Perubahan pada puting susu
5. Lekukan pada payudara
6. Ulser pada payudara
7. Terdapat perubahan pada kulit payudara. Perubahan yang perlu diperhatikan ialah sekeliling puting bersisik, bengkak dan kemerah-merahan. Permukaan kulit kasar menyerupai kulit limau oren (peau d’orange) yang berlubang kecil. Keadaan ini menandakan bahawa barah telah merebak dan berkemungkinan besar saluran limfa telah tersumbat olehnya. Perubahan bentuk payu dara juga boleh menandakan terdapat barah padanya.
8. Tanda kanser payudara sudah merebak ke organ lain ialah sakit tulang, pening kepala, busung dan batuk.
Semua wanita digalakkan untuk mengenali bentuk dan saiz payu daranya supaya perubahan yang berlaku dapat dikesan dengan cepat. Jika terdapat perubahan pada payu dara seperti yang telah disebutkan, wanita dinasihatkan supaya berjumpa doktor untuk pemeriksaan selanjutnya bagi membuktikan jenis ketulan yang ada dan mendapatkan rawatan yang sepatutnya.
Siapakah yang berisiko tinggi untuk mendapat barah payu dara?
1. Wanita mempunyai risiko 100 kali ganda lebih tinggi daripada lelaki. Risiko ini menjadi lebih tinggi pada era sebelum putus haid. Orang lelaki juga boleh mendapat penyakit barah payudara.
2. Sejarah keluarga – Risiko barah payudara bagi seseorang wanita berganda dua tiga kali jika terdapat sejarah penyakit payudara pada keluarga terdekat (first degree relatives) seperti ibu, kakak, adik atau emak saudara.
3. Sejarah barah – apabila seseorang wanita telah menghidap barah payudara, risiko untuknya berulang lagi meninggi empat kali ganda. Ada kajian yang menyatakan bahawa ketulan atau penyakit payudara yang bukan daripada jenis barah juga boleh meninggikan risiko untuk barah payudara.
Kajian juga menunjukkan bahawa risiko untuk barah payudara juga meninggi jika terdapat sejarah barah ovari, melanomas (barah kulit), usus dan rahim.
4. Sejarah haid dan pembiakan – wanita yang mempunyai masa yang lama dalam era reproduktif mempunyai risiko yang lebih tinggi untuk barah payu dara. Ini bermakna wanita itu didatangi haid yang pertama pada umur yang agak awal (9 tahun) dan mencapai alam putus haid pada umur yang agak lewat (55 tahun ke atas). Melahirkan anak merendahkan risiko barah ini terutamanya jika kelahiran anak yang pertama berlaku sebelum ibu mencapai umur 30 tahun.
5. Pemakanan – pengambilan lemak secara berlebihan meninggikan risiko barah ini. Oleh itu wanita digalakkan untuk mengambil banyak sayur-sayuran dan mengurangkan kadar pengambilan lemak dalam makanan.
6. Pengambilan hormon – kajian telah menunjukkan bahawa wanita yang sudah putus haid dan mengguna hormon gantian (HRT- hormone replacement therapy) didapati mempunyai risiko barah payu dara yang lebih tinggi. Risiko ini meninggi hanya setelah lima tahun penggunaan hormon secara berterusan.
7. Obesiti – wanita yang mempunyai berat badan yang berlebihan juga mempunyai risiko yang lebih tinggi untuk barah ini.
Berat badan unggul seseorang bergantung kepada ketinggian dan juga rangka badannya. Untuk mengetahui berat badan unggul, seseorang perlulah mengetahui Body Mass Index (BMI) nya. Formula untuk mengira BMI adalah seperti berikut:
Berat badan (kg) bahagi dengan tinggi (metres) kuasa dua. Julat BMI yang normal untuk wanita ialah 20-24. Sebelum puan mengambil langkah-langkah untuk menguruskan berat badan, puan perlu mengira BMI puan. Jika BMI berada dalam lingkungan yang normal, puan tidak perlu mengurangi berat puan.
Langkah untuk menguruskan badan memerlukan nasihat doktor supaya langkah yang diambil tidak membahayakan kesihatan tubuh badan secara am. Cara yang paling baik untuk mengurangkan berat badan ialah memastikan tenaga yang diperoleh melalui makanan adalah seimbang dengan penggunaannya.
Jika terdapat berlebihan input, penggunaan tenaga perlulah ditingkatkan seperti senaman untuk membakar lemak lebihan atau pemakanan dikawal supaya tiada lebihan tenaga disimpan sebagai lemak.
CERVICAL CANCER (KANSER PANGKAL RAHIM)
The cervix is made up of millions of tiny cells. Sometimes changes occur and abnormal cells develop, known as cervical dysplasia, also called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). CIN can be graded into CIN I, CIN II and CIN III. These are not cancer. However, if left untreated these calls may later develop into cancer. With regular Pap tests, these early changes will be detected and treated before cancer has a chance to develop.
There are two main types of cervical cancer. The most common type starts in the skin-like cells of the cervix (the squamous cells) and is called squamous cell carcinoma. Less common and more difficult to detect is a type of cervical cancer which starts in the glandular cells, known as adenocarcinoma.
Cervical cancer can also be microinvasive or invasive.
Cervical cancer occurs when abnormal cells on the cervix grow out of control. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina. Cervical cancer can often be successfully treated when it’s found early. It is usually found at a very early stage through a Pap test.
What causes cervical cancer?
Most cervical cancer is caused by a virus called human papillomavirus, or HPV. You can get HPV by having sexual contact with someone who has it. There are many types of the HPV virus. Not all types of HPV cause cervical cancer. Some of them cause genital warts, but other types may not cause any symptoms.
Most adults have been infected with HPV at some time. An infection may go away on its own. But sometimes it can cause genital warts or lead to cervical cancer. That’s why it’s important for women to have regular Pap tests. A Pap test can find changes in cervical cells before they turn into cancer. If you treat these cell changes, you may prevent cervical cancer.
What are the symptoms?
Abnormal cervical cell changes rarely cause symptoms. But you may have symptoms if those cell changes grow into cervical cancer. Symptoms of cervical cancer may include:
1. Bleeding from the vagina that is not normal, such as bleeding between menstrual periods, after sex, or after menopause. (Pendarahan yang tak normal dari vagina)
2. Pain in the lower belly or pelvis (sakit dibahagian bawah perut atau pelvik)
3. Pain during sex (sakit ketika hubungan suami isteri)
4. Vaginal discharge that isn’t normal (keluar cairan tak normal dari vagina)
5. Lost of bladder control (kegagalan buah pinggang berfungsi dengan baik)
6. Pain during urine (sakit ketika buang air kecil)
7. Leg pain (sakit kaki terutama sendi)
8. Constant Fatigue (keletihan yang berterusan)
9. Unexpected weight loss (Turun berat badan dengan tiba-tiba)
How is cervical cancer diagnosed?
As part of a pelvic exam, you should have a Pap test. During a Pap test, the doctor scrapes a small sample of cells from the surface of the cervix to look for cell changes. If a Pap test shows abnormal cell changes, your doctor may do other tests to look for precancerous or cancer cells on your cervix.
Your doctor may also do a Pap test and take a sample of tissue (biopsy) if you have symptoms of cervical cancer, such as bleeding after sex.
So, take the first action and say No to Cervical Cancer!
HOW PREMIUM BEAUTIFUL CORSET HELP TO AVOID BREAST CANCER AND CERVICAL CANCER?
Bagaimana sebenarnya pemakaian Premium Beautiful dapat mengelakkan daripada terjadinya kanser payudara dan kanser pangkal rahim? Ini sangat berkait rapat dengan teknologi F.I.R yang ada pada Premium Beautiful.
Premium Beautiful tidak menyembuhkan kanser. Cumanya, Far-Infrared-Rays (F.I.R.) yang ada pada Premium Beautiful hanya dapat mengurangkan kesakitan untuk pesakit kanser, dan hanya dapat detect kanser bagi untuk early stage sahaja.
F.I.R. is the ‘chi’ energy in humans and animals, also emitted from sunlight. The intensity of Far Infrared produced by the human body constantly fluctuates. When its intensity is high, we feel healthy and are able to overcome ailments. When the F.I.R. begins to decline, we are subject to disease and illness and tend to age more quickly. We can be exposed to F.I.R. heat for hours and it will never cause our skin to burn. F.I.R. is completely healthy and safe for all living things.
F.I.R. are waves of energy, totally invisible to the naked eye, capable of penetrating deep into the human body, where they gently elevate the body’s surface temperature and activate major bodily functions.
F.I.R is know to prevent, combat and kill cancerous cells. How?
1. Cancerous cells cannot exist if blood circulation is smooth and continuous.
A cancerous cell has to stop moving to proliferate.
The cancerous cell’s positioning, or settling down, is directly related to the capillaries, which are at the end of the blood vessels. The cancer cell tries to position itself by going through the capillary. If it goes through, there could be no settling down or positioning of the cancer cell – which is what happens if there is good blood circulation. If the cancer cell fails to pass through the capillary because of some functional disorder in the circulation, the cell could easily position itself. Good blood circulation of the capillaries – without functional disorder – leaves no way for the cancerous cell to settle down and position itself. The cell will then be killed by the immunocyte (the immunity cell).
Antara kebaikan F.I.R. adalah untuk melancarkan pengaliran darah.
2) The cancerous cell has a weakness, heat.
It will die if the temperature goes above 42C/107.6 F.
⊕ F.I.R. raises body temperature to 42 degrees C.
⊕ F.I.R. penetrates through the body and kills existing cancerous cells.
⊕ F.I.R. enables capillaries to expand, thus enabling good circulation and combating the potential existence of cancer cells.
⊕ F.I.R. can alleviate pain and prolong life when conventional cancer treatment fails.
Other benefits of Far Infrared:
1. F.I.R. expands capillaries which stimulates increased blood flow, regeneration, circulation and oxygenation.
2. F.I.R. is excellent for detox. Scientists in Japan report that in the FIR treatment of clogged capillary vessels, heat expands the capillaries and then initiates the start of a process to dissolve hidden toxins. Far Infrared thereby promotes elimination of fats, chemicals and toxins from the blood: Poisons, carcinogenic heavy metals – toxic substances from food processing – lactic acid, free fatty acids, and subcutaneous fat associated with aging and fatigue – excess sodium associated with hypertension – and uric acid which causes pain. Furthermore, if sebaceous glands are activated, accumulated cosmetics in pores can be eliminated through the skin (sweat and oil glands) rather than by the kidneys.
3. F.I.R. stimulates enzyme activity and metabolism – One hour under the Hot House burns over 900 calories by raising the metabolism and body temperature. F.I.R. heat also breaks down cellulite – trapped water, fat and waste.
4. F.I.R. promotes the killing of many pathogenic (disease causing) bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites.
5. F.I.R. promotes rebuilding of injured tissue by having a positive effect on the fibroblasts (connective tissue cells necessary for the repair of injury). Furthermore, it increases growth of cells, DNA syntheses, and protein synthesis all necessary during tissue repair and regeneration. Excellent for healing burns, scar tissue and skin problems.
6. F.I.R. relieves nervous tension and relax autoneuro muscles thereby helping the body make the most of its intended healing abilities. F.I.R. reduces soreness on nerve endings and muscle spasms, as muscle fibers are heated.
7. F.I.R. strengthens the Immune System by stimulating increased production of white blood cells (leukocytes) by the bone marrow and killer T-cells by the thymus.
8. Far Infrared strengthens the Cardiovascular System by causing heart rate and cardiac output increase, and diastolic blood pressure decrease – Extensive research by NASA in the early 1980’s led to the conclusion that F.I.R stimulation of cardiovascular function would be the ideal way to maintain cardiovascular conditioning in American astronauts during long space flight.
Apa-apa pun, kita hanya berikhtiar sahaja, selebihnya, berserahlah kepada Allah S.W.T.
TESTIMONIALS FROM A BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR- Puan Soraya
I was really contemplating whether to share this testimonial, from a dear friend of mine, one of our sisters in Top Leaders Circle. She is a breast cancer survivor, and she shared with us, how Premium Beautiful helped her a lot in recovering from the cancer.
Apa-apa pun, first thing first, hanya Allah S.W.T sahaja yang mampu menyembuhkan any penyakit in this world. But, as a human, jangan berhenti berusaha dalam menjaga kesihatan kita.
I am not a doctor by all means, but, maybe this testimonial will help you guys a bit about how to take good care of our health, and how to recover after surviving from breast cancers.
And please read with an open mind. So, here goes.
“I am myself a cancer survivor.
My cancer stage 2A but aggressive tumor masa diagnosed. My Oncologist said ketika itu, high chance for it to come back to the brain within 2 years.
SubhanAllah, semua perancangan Allah. Kita usaha and doa sebanyak mungkin. I have complete faith in Allah’s mercy.
Coming from the other side, I want to share how it feels because when you are fighting between life and death you want to hear benda-benda yang ‘sahih’ – genuine, authentic, sound. Proven things and not be hoodwinked by crack remedies. Sebab dalam market ada macam-macam claim tentang rawatan cancer. For examples, Kangen Water, Transfer Factor, reverse osmosis, tukang urut cancer, rawatan ghaib and others. Semua ini akan datang bila you sakit, so who to believe?
To be honest, I know my health has been enhanced through the Premium Beautiful.
I started using the Premium Beautiful 1.5 years after I had surgery, chemo, radiotherapy. Syukur Alhamdulillah.
Yang paling ketara, during a follow up mammogram the radiologist commented that my breast skin n scar nampak bersih / cantik, tidak macam dahulu. The scar used to be hard and the skin hitam and dry due to 35 radiotherapy sessions. Skin tersebut sebelum ini macam terbakar. Selepas pakai Premium Beautiful, ia bertukar, probably because the Far Infra-Red (F.I.R.) concentrated at the lace stitching yg ada di cup area.
Also, because cancer cells thrive in and love cold bodies, I believe wearing the Premium Beautiful helps as it helps to regulate our body temperature through the F.I.R. So keeping your body temperature up is vital in fighting / preventing cancer and a fact that many do not know.
Cancer cells also grow in oxygen free environments, sebab itu exercise is important. So even when I run or go to the gym I use my Premium Beautiful sebab the F.I.R. enhances blood circulation, thus increasing oxygen levels. Cancer cells don’t like this! Insya Allah.
So kalau ada sesiapa yang tidak mahu pakai Premium Beautiful sebab dia takut panas ker, tidak selesa ker, Kak Soraya selalu share this point. Especially now we live sleep drive semua hendak air-conditioner. Memudaratkan sebenarnya.
So, ini antara testimoni yang saya share, but always stress that it can help the healing process or prevention, amongst other things, such as:
Lifestyle changes – food, juicing, exercise, rest.
Mindset changes – prayers, faith and positive thinking.
Regular checkups and listening to your body – check all warts n bumps you may find.
Alternative treatments – Examples, acupuncture, breast massage, heat treatment.
Because there are no empirical studies (tested and proven scientifically and based on a big population) done to show that Premium Beautiful can heal cancer, we have to be careful with our words.
Insya Allah when we share knowledge and give value, our sharing membawa berkat.
Apa yang Kak Soraya hendak share, kalau kita hendak sihat, deep faith, positivity and try everything that you feel helps you. Premium Beautiful, Bio Velocity Sleep Mate, Hai-O Garlic, Garam Buluh, all these I guna. Yakin sihat. Insya Allah.
That is as much as I know and I hope it helps. My pleasure for you to use the info.”
