Aidance Skincare Supports Breast Cancer Education & Programming with Donation to Gloria Gemma Resource Breast Cancer Foundation

Woonsocket, RI (PRWEB) November 05, 2014

Breast cancer affects nearly one in eight women in the U.S. It is the most common form of cancer in women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). New research and treatment options bring new hope, and a survival rate that is on the rise.

Until there’s a cure, it’s important to nurture and support not only breast cancer patients, but their loved ones – both during the battle, and beyond. This is the motivation behind Rhode Island’s Gloria Gemma Resource Breast Cancer Foundation. As their “Welcome” page states, “We understand that breast cancer is as much an emotional disease as it is a physical one. We also understand that awareness and education promotes early detection, which is the best protection.”

Gloria Gemma gets people thinking, talking and understanding more about breast cancer. They host events such as awareness walks, fashion shows, and their signature “Flames of Hope: A Celebration of Life” gathering. It is the largest breast cancer awareness event in the Northeast. Through exhibits, health screenings, healing arts activities and more, they bring this important issue to light. Perhaps more importantly, the organization shows patients that they’re not alone in the fight.

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, therapeutic skincare company Aidance Skincare pledged to donate to Gloria Gemma for each “Like” their recent Facebook post received, up to 0. The response was overwhelmingly positive. With hundreds of “Likes” and “Shares” in support, fans from around the world helped the small business reach its goal.

Nine-year breast cancer survivor Juanie Brown commented to wish others well on their journey. Others shared memories of their mothers, sisters, aunts and friends who battled the disease. One powerful comment came from George Gutierrez, whose loved one has survived breast cancer… twice. “Everybody ‘Like’ this – find a cure so others don’t have to suffer,” he urged.

Aidance thanks the community for rallying toward this 0 donation for local breast cancer patients and their loved ones.

“This is our way of remembering those we have lost, and supporting those who are fighting,” shares Perry Antelman, CEO of Aidance Skincare. “We’re proud to show our support.”

Breast Ultrasounds Are a Comfortable and Convenient Option for Patients and Referring Doctors

Center For Diagnostic Imaging Miami

MIAMI, FL (PRWEB) September 30, 2014

Doctors often order breast ultrasounds as a follow-up, after a patient has received abnormal mammogram results. Most breast ultrasounds are done at a specialized medical imaging center, such as the Center for Diagnostic Imaging in Miami. The Center for Diagnostic Imaging is now offering breast ultrasounds to patients as an alternative to MRI. Most patients find ultrasounds to be more comfortable as they can be in an open space and do not have to remain perfectly still.

“We realize that receiving abnormal mammogram results that require additional testing can be a frightening and stressful process,” said Dr. Eric Godreau, M.D., of the Center for Diagnostic Imaging. “We try to make the imaging process as easy and painless as possible for patients, which is why we are offering ultrasounds as an alternative to MRIs. We also want patients to realize that having an ultrasound does not necessarily mean that cancer is present. However, the test is needed to provide further information about the area in question.”

A breast ultrasound can zero in on a specific area identified by the mammogram, and it can help shed more light on whether the area might be a cyst or solid mass. A breast ultrasound can also sometimes distinguish between benign and cancerous tumors and can help doctors determine whether steps such as a stereotactic breast biopsy are necessary.

As with any ultrasound, a breast ultrasound uses painless sound waves to create an image of an internal part of the body, without exposing the patient to radiation. Ultrasounds do not replace the use of mammograms for breast cancer screening, but should be used as a follow up test after an abnormal mammogram. Ultrasounds can also be good for identifying tumors in women who have dense breast tissue. In these cases, using ultrasound in conjunction with mammography can help doctors identify breast cancer more accurately than with mammograms alone.

Breast cancer is expected to impact one in eight women. For this reason, it is important to speak with your doctor right away if you are experiencing any symptoms or suspect you are at high risk for breast cancer. Early detection is an important factor in the success of treatment.
