From Pam Stephan, your Guide to Breast Cancer
I've often wondered what caused my cancer, since I had no family history and few risk factors. Could it have been in my environment? Marines from Camp LeJeune are pretty sure that 30 years of toxic water caused an unusually large cancer cluster on base. They've found another way to draw attention to their cause.

Marines of Camp Lejeune Make A Movie
It didn't win an Oscar, but it has won at least 6 film festival awards. It doesn't have any stars, or actors - just real people who really suffered. The Marines have made a documentary film about their cancer on base, and they are still seeking justice.

Mike Partain, Marine and Male Breast Cancer Survivor
Mike Partain was born at Camp LeJeuene during the critical years that the water was polluted. He was born with health issues, which he eventually overcame. Then in 2007, his wife noticed a lump in his breast. He's pretty sure where that cancer came from.

How To Detoxify Your Personal Environment
Hopefully, the water you use daily is clean. But toxins can creep in from other sources. Invest in your health by detoxifying your personal environment. Here's a dozen easy ways to detoxify your environment and reduce your risk for cancer.

Support and Resources - During and After Treatment
Support strategies for you during and after treatment. Read about support groups, their benefits and drawbacks. Learn about getting help at home, and advice for family and friends.

Dear colleagues and friends of the NLN,

The NLN Medical Advisory Committee is thrilled to release a supplement to our Position
Paper "Screening and Measurements for Early Detection of Breast Cancer-Related
Lymphedema: The Imperative". (Click Here to Download [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1109380859685&s=8235&e=001qk9xQadBFu_z-ysByS1ojzxK8-fLX-wte28Iv37d5JFqJNJdSH6PcAKZvdKh2uqGTljzGAoM12nEnTezop0WruyEk_q9cZMcpciXkC7-zonYIAIi-DJn6-s8STtiJCtQYYMgsyqVt1SIaJlt-VhoPvI8GNdlZMMuWaaMDcYcqLU=])

In the past, there was little evidence to suggest that early detection could make
a difference in early treatment outcomes for breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL),
but this is changing.

Like breast cancer, early studies suggest changes associated with LE may even be
detectable early, in a latent stage, before LE is visible and/or symptomatic, meeting
a criterion for LE diagnosis. Research shows that waiting to treat BCRL until it
becomes irreversible and chronic may not be optimal.

In the last year, attitudes have changed among surgeons and oncologists. We have
noticed an increase in patient education regarding lymphedema risk-reduction practices
in Breast Centers and Surgical Practices, and early screening and detection measures
for BCRL have been adopted at some centers.

While this trend is positive, we are far from reaching our goal. I urge you to please
help spread the word about this important document to your local surgeons/oncologists,
colleagues, patients, support groups and BC organizations. We need your support
to ensure that we protect and educate every person diagnosed with breast cancer
from this chronic condition.

Secondly, the NLN Board of Directors and staff are very excited to unveil our brand
new logo. After 23 years of service, we are presenting an updated and fresh face
to the public. In a couple of weeks you will receive our redesigned Lymphlink,
and we will launch our new website in late April; www.lymphnet.org. Our new site
will have many new features, including a community site where therapists, physicians,
and patients can share common questions, concerns and updates. As you can imagine
NLN staff are very busy implementing these new changes, as well as preparing for
our upcoming conference.

Please join us in the celebration of our new Logo, Lymphlink, and

(soon-to-come) new website. I would also like to give a special thank you to the
NLN Medical Advisory Committee for their commitment and development of this important
Supplement to our Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema Screening Position Paper.

Respectfully yours,

Saskia R.J. Thiadens, RN
Executive Director

From Pam Stephan, your Guide to Breast Cancer
Chemo sent me into menopause as if I were a human cannonball. From feeling like a fairly fit 40-something, I started feeling like the Dowager Queen of Hot-Flash Land. If only I could have wished it all away ...

Mind Over Menopause Symptoms - Not Just Wishful Thinking!
It's amazing what your mind can do. Breast cancer patients who took part in a program on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy were able to minimize their menopausal symptoms without any drugs! Six months later, they were still doing well. Now that's using your head!

Top 10 Ways To Cope With Hot Flashes
Those of us who had estrogen-sensitive breast cancer know that we can't take hormone replacement therapy for our menopausal symptoms. Along with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, we can do some simple things to get rid of hot flashes. Here are 10 practical things you can do to get relief.

Breast Pain Seldom Means Breast Cancer
Poet Susan Deborah King described the breast as "the softest, sweetest piece" of herself. When that soft, lovely breast is in pain, it suddenly feels not so sweet. You'll be glad to know that breast pain isn't usually a signal of breast cancer. But when it happens, it's good to know what breast pain might be, and how to deal with it.

Chemopause: Medical Menopause
If you're not on the way to menopause when you're diagnosed with breast cancer, chemo can take you there quickly. I call it Chemopause, and it can be temporary. That's good and bad: good because your fertility may return, bad because you can have menopause twice!
