housands of runners, walkers and breast cancer survivors from around North Mississippi will turn downtown Tupelo pink on Oct. 26.

The 16th Annual Susan G. Komen North Mississippi Race for the Cure will bring people together across the region.

The race has always attracted runners from around the region, and the money has benefited people in 15 counties through mammograms for the medically underserved and community education programs.

For the third year, the annual 5K run/walk and 1-mile fun run will start in front of the Hilton Garden Inn in downtown Tupelo and wind through downtown neighborhoods before returning to the finish line at Fairpark.

Getting a regular mammogram is a life saver.

“Since 1990, breast cancer mortality has been reduced by at least 30 percent,” said Tupelo radiologist Dr. Susan Shamburger said. “A big reason is early diagnosis because of screening.”

Women diagnosed at stage 0 have a 93 percent, five-year overall survival rate, and at stage 1 an 88 percent five-year-overall survival rate.

Digital mammography is making it easier for radiologists to compare years of mammograms easily

‘You need to know what your lumps and bumps feel like.’

Dr. Susan Shamburger Tupelo radiologist

and share their findings, said Tupelo radiologist Dr. Mike Currie.

“The key is to look for subtle changes,” Currie said.

There’s no debate about the benefit of mammography for women 50 to 69.

Regular screening mammograms clearly reduce the risk of dying from breast cancer, but there

have been differing recommendations for women 40 to 49 and the frequency of the screening.

In 2009, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force changed its recommendation for screening mammograms to start at 50 and repeat every other year.

Women 40 to 49 should consult with their physi-

cian about their individual risk to make a decision.

The American College of Radiology, American Cancer Society and Komen for the Cure Foundation have continued to recommend women have annual mammograms starting at age 40.

Women ages 40 to 49 are less likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer than women over 50, Shamburger said. However, in the 40 to 49 group, the cancers that are diagnosed tend to be more aggressive.

Shamburger also still recommends monthly self-breast exams, which the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force doesn’t

advocate.

“You need to know what your lumps and bumps feel like,” Shamburger said.

Shamburger said she feels the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, which used a meta analysis of several existing studies – overemphasizes problems with false positives and doesn’t recognize quality of life issues for women under 50.

Most physicians are sticking with the older recommendations until they see more clear evidence that women can safely wait for mammograms.

“Continue with the older recommendations

until there’s solid evidence,” Currie said.

Under the American College of Radiology guidelines, some women should begin screening before age 40. Women who test positive for BRCA-1 or -2 mutations should start being screened around age 30. Women with strong family histories of breast cancer or those who received chest radiation to treat Hodgkin’s Lymphoma also should begin screenings earlier than 40, but no earlier than 25.

Women who’ve had any breast or ovarian cancer should be screened for the rest of their lives, too, she said.

One size of breast cancer reconstruction doesn’t fit all.

In many cases, women can choose between implants and tissue flap procedures that use fat and muscle from other parts of the body to recreate the breast shape after a mastectomy. They can decide how quickly they want to proceed with reconstruction.

It’s a good idea to talk to a plastic surgeon before breast cancer surgery, but final decisions on reconstruction don’t have to be made immediately.

“We go through the options,” said Tupelo plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Craig.

“We’re just part of the team that deals with breast cancer.”

Although immediate reconstruction can be done in many cases, Craig counsels his patients to take their time and proceed when they are comfortable with their options.

In the aftermath of a breast cancer diagnosis, so many decisions have to be made about treatment.

Reconstruction can wait.

“I think sometimes it gets to be a little over-

whelming,” Craig said.

Not every women has every option. Those who need radiation treatment after surgery will need to postpone reconstruction, Craig said. Because of the increased risk of surgical complications, smokers have to be willing to quit.

But they all have time to decide. The 1998 federal law mandates insurance companies cover reconstruction after breast cancer surgeries. There’s no limited window of opportunity that is lost because a woman wants to wait.

“I have people come back four to five years later,” Craig said.

Women choose reconstruction because they want to permanently regain the shape of their breasts.

“They want to feel more comfortable, more confident,” Craig said.

Reconstruction is a process. Whether women opt to use their own tissue to create the breast shape or implants filled with silicon or saline, the process typically requires two to three surgeries over several months.

“This is not a small endeavor,” Craig said. “They need to decide to do it for themselves.”

American Cancer Society connects survivors, resources with newly diagnosed The American Cancer Society has active Reach to Recovery programs based in Tupelo and Oxford to help the newly diagnosed find their way forward.

Breast cancer survivors reach out to newly diagnosed women and share their first-hand perspective on coping with the disease through the program.

The Reach to Recovery program gets referrals from health care professionals like surgeons and the NMMC Breast Care Center. New breast cancer survivors also can contact the American Cancer Society directly to request a visit or call from a survivor.

Breast cancer survivors who have passed their first anniversary and completed their

IMPLANTS

Many women choose implants filled with silicone or saline. In most cases, it’s a matter of patient preference. Silicone has a softer more natural appearance, Craig said.

The newest silicon implants have shaped forms that hold a natural shape.

Saline – sterile salt water – gives the surgeons more flexibility – because they

treatment are eligible to become Reach to Recovery volunteers. They are required to complete a training session initially and recertify every two years.

Breast cancer survivors also can benefit from a number of American Cancer The American Cancer Society has extensive data and support resources through its cancer.org website.

Locally, the American Cancer Society hosts the monthly I Can Cope support group, which is open to all cancer survivors and their caregivers and Look Good … Feel Better programs, offered periodically to help any cancer survivors adjust to changes in their skin and hair during treatment.

have control over the final size of the implant, which is especially important for larger women.

Implants typically require at least two surgeries. The surgeon places tissue expanders under the skin. They are slowly released to stretch the skin. This usually takes two to three months.

“You fill the volume to what the skin can accom-

modate,” Craig said. “It seems to give you a better long-term result.”

A second surgery is used to place the permanent implant. Follow-up surgery would be used for nipple reconstruction.

TISSUE RECONSTRUCTION

Tissue flap procedures involve taking tissue most commonly from the tummy and back, but it

also can come from the buttocks and thighs. The TRAM flap is among the most popular since it pulls skin, fat and muscle from the lower abdomen and results in kind of a tummy tuck.

Because it’s your body’s own tissue, the flap procedures can have very natural-looking results without concerns about rupture or replacement.

For the tissue flap procedures to be successful, they need not only volume, but a good blood supply, Craig said. Without adequate blood supply, the tissue can die when it’s transplanted and create a hard area within the flap.

Women who choose a flap option need to be prepared for two or three procedures.

“There’s often a tweak,” after the first operation because it’s hard for the surgeon to know exactly how the transplanted tissue will settle, Craig said.

Once the breast shape is finalized, another procedure is need to reconstruct the nipple.

“You don’t want to put the nipple on until you see how the tissue behaves,” Craig said. michaela.morris@journalinc.com

Although the majority of

women who are diagnosed with breast cancer will have no family history, researchers are looking closely at genetic ties to breast cancer because of the increased risk those women face.

The Sister Study, which looks at the sisters of women who developed breast cancer but who are not BRCA positive, is developing an incredible DNA library, Kellum said. Because sisters share many of the same environmental exposures early in life, the study may identify other factors for study as well.

“We can see if we can find other causes for breast cancer,” Kellum said.

BRCA gene mutations continue to be the focus of a great deal of research, especially for preventive measures.

“For women with BRCA gene, that could be as high as 80 percent,” as opposed to the baseline lifetime risk of 12 percent of all American women, Kellum said.

Current recommendations for those BRCA-positive women include the preventive removal of the breasts and the ovaries.

“The risk drops by 90 percent,” Kellum said. “It’s very, very effective treatment.”

PREVENTION

Outside of the BRCA genes, researchers haven’t found smoking guns that directly cause breast cancer.

Tobacco use and being overweight do increase a woman’s risk of breast cancer, as does alcohol use. Breastfeeding seems to slightly reduce the risk of breast cancer.

Researchers are trying to drill down to find out how vitamin D deficiency raises a woman’s risk of breast cancer.

They also are looking closely at radiation – both in exposure from medical imaging over a person’s lifetime and the every day exposures, Portteus said.

“Women should know their risks,” Portteus said.

Fulton breast cancer luncheon set for Oct. 22

BY ADAM ARMOUR ITAWAMBA COUNTY TIMES

If the adage “there’s strength in numbers” holds true, those who have faced breast cancer must be a strong lot.

Romona Edge, co-founder of Fulton’s annual “Do You Know What the Color Pink Means?”

Breast Cancer Awareness Luncheon, believes survivors and their families draw strength from hearing the stories of each others’ experiences. It’s what she believes makes the annual program, now in its 16th year, so important.

“People enjoy hearing from someone who’s had a personal experience, who has overcome breast cancer,” she said. “And survivors want to share their stories with others to help either make them more aware of what they might go through when facing breast cancer themselves or to help prevent it in the first place.”

People need to learn from one another, she said.

This year’s luncheon is scheduled for Oct. 22, at the First Baptist Church in Fulton.

The program starts at noon, is free to anyone who attends and lunch will be provided. The event will end with drawings for door prizes.

Those who attend the event are encouraged to wear pink to show their support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The guest speaker will be Liz Dawson, director of Community Health for North Mississippi Medical Center and breast cancer survivor. Dawson, a two-year breast cancer survivor, said she plans to emphasize the importance of early detection while also telling her personal story of facing breast cancer.

“I’m going to talk about my journey and my experiences … what I’ve been through,” Dawson said.

Because Dawson has both personal experience with breast cancer and with community medical research, Edge

Liz Dawson The NMMC Director of Community Health will be the guest speaker. thought she would make both an informative and emotionally engaging speaker.

The annual event is usually attended by more than 100 people. Edge believes the ongoing popularity is not only tied to the prevalence of the disease, but to the width of its reach.

“I really believe that most women either know someone who has been affected by breast cancer, or have been affected themselves,” Edge said.

“It’s an experience so many of us can relate to.”

Perhaps the most surprising thing about the annual luncheon is its somewhat lighthearted atmosphere. It isn’t dour at all; quite the opposite, in fact. While plenty of tears are spilled each year, most survivors’ stories carry a message of hope, optimism and even a bit of humor.

“Sometimes it’s tearful; sometimes it’s humorous,” Edge said. “Each individual has a story. Because of that story, I believe that any woman who’s listening can take something away with her.”

The overall goal of the program is prevention … making sure women are aware of just how important early detection is to increasing the chances of survival. It’s a goal Edge likes to think the program has met more than once in its 16-year history.

“I want to think that it’s helped people; I have to think it has,” she said. “I believe it has helped women be more aware of how important self-exams are.”

If there’s one other thing she hopes attendees leave the program knowing, it’s that when faced with breast cancer, no one is ever alone.

Mastectomy bras fill the gap left by surgery

BY MICHAELA GIBSON MORRIS DAILY JOURNAL

astectomy bras do more than restore a woman’s appearance after breast cancer surgery.

“A lot of people don’t realize their balance is thrown off,” said Gina Petty, owner of Fitting Concepts in Tupelo, which provides certified mastectomy bra fitting service.

It doesn’t seem like Petty the breasts would weigh enough to make a difference, but it does make a difference. In some cases, it can cause neck and back pain, too. For women who have a single mastectomy, a good fitting prothesis also ensures their bra can properly support their remaining breast.

“It’s extremely important to have the weight to balance the spine and shoulder out,” Petty said.

Beyond the balance issues, the breast forms do impact how a woman looks in her clothes and can restore the appearance they want to project.

“It’s amazing to us when someone comes in and they don’t know what to expect,” Petty said. “Watching them walk out with their shoulders back and a smile” is gratifying.

Insurance covers much of the cost of a breast prothesis, although the rules for what is covered and how frequently women can replace the prothesis can vary.

|

Through the Breast and Cervical Cancer program, the Mississippi State Department of Health offers access to breast screening and treatment programs for the medically underserved.

The Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Act, which went into effect in 2001, offers access to screening for women between 50 and 64 who do not have credible health insurance coverage.

Women screened through CDC breast and cervical cancer early detection program and need treatment for breast or cervical cancer can access treatment through Medicaid.

The program is funded

through federal grants and state matching funds.

Younger women who are medically underserved can access breast cancer screening as funding is available from the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

In addition to screening and diagnostic mammograms, the program provides ultrasound and fine needle biopsy when indicated, follow up and referral for abnormal results and educational programs for professionals and the public.

Survivor stresses importance of knowing family medical history Weighing Your Risks

SOUTHERN SENTINEL

F

American Cancer Society screening suggestions • Yearly mammograms are recommended starting at age 40 and continuing for as long as a woman is in good health.

• Clinical breast exams are recommended about every 3 years for women in their 20s and 30s.

• Women should know how their breasts normally look and feel and report any breast change promptly to their health care provider. Breast self-exam is an option for women starting in their 20s.

• The American Cancer Society recommends that some women – because of their family history, a genetic tendency or certain other factors – be screened with MRI in addition to mammograms. The number of women who fall into this category is small – less than 2 percent of all the women in the United States.

Risk Factors • Being a woman. Men can develop breast cancer, but it is more common in women.

that’s what got her through the hard times. “I knew it was in God’s hands and he would get me through it. I always kept the faith.”

After a few months, the cancer went into remission, where it has stayed for 10 years. “Going into remission felt wonderful,” Crawford said. “My surgeon told me that within two years it would come back even worse. To be in remission for 10 years without a reoccurance is a wonderful thing. I believe God has a reason for me to still be here.”

• Family history of breast cancer. Having one first-degree relative – mother, sister, daughter – with breast cancer roughly doubles the risk. Having two increases the risk fivefold.

• Genetics. BRCA and BRCA2, and several other genetic mutations can increase the risk.

• Personal history. If you’ve had breast cancer in one breast, you have a three- to four-fold increased risk of developing a new breast cancer.

• Race. White women are slightly more likely to develop breast cancer; but AfricanAmerican women are more likely to die, in part because they tend to have more aggressive tumors.

• Dense breast tissue has more glandular tissue and less fatty tissue and a higher risk of developing breast cancer.

• Menstrual periods. Women who started periods early – before 12 – or went through menopause late – after age 55 – have a slightly increased risk for breast cancer.

• Previous chest radiation.

Now, Crawford spends her time reaching out to breast cancer patients and survivors through Facebook. She wants to serve as a source of encouragement, as well as get the message out about breast cancer awareness.

“I don’t wish this on anybody,” she said. “Having cancer has made me appreciate life, and I want to make women aware of breast cancer and encourage them to get tested for it, especially if they have a family history of it.”

Crawford found out only a few weeks ago that

Women who received chest radiation as children or young adults to treat cancer have significantly increased risk for breast cancer. It doesn’t appear to increase the risk for those treated after 40.

• DES. Exposure to DES – given from the 1940s to 1960s – as an expectant mother or a unborn child may slightly increase the risk of breast cancer.

• Childbearing. Not having children or having first child after age 30 seems to slightly raise the risk of breast cancer.

Pregnancy reduces the total number of lifetime menstrual cycles, which may be the reason for this effect.

• Recent oral contraceptive use. Women using birth control pills have a slightly greater risk of breast cancer than those who never used them.

The risk seems to decline to normal over time once the pills are stopped.

• Post-menopause hormone therapy. Use of combined hormone therapy has been found to increase the risk of getting

breast cancer runs in her family. Her mother was just diagnosed with a progressed stage and will have to soon have both breasts removed.

“Women need to make sure that they tell their doctor if they have a family history of any kind of cancer. If I had known I had a family history of breast cancer, I would have told the doctors,” Crawford said. “Telling doctors your medical history could mean life or death in some cases.”

Crawford encourages all women – even those

breast cancer. The risk seems to return to normal within five years of stopping. Short-term use of estrogen-only hormone therapy – less than 10 years – does not seem to increase the of developing breast cancer.

• Not breastfeeding. Some studies suggest breastfeeding may lower risk.

• Alcohol use. Alcohol is clearly linked to increase risk of developing breast cancer.

Risk increases with the amount consumed. Women who consume one alcoholic drink a day have a very small increase. Women who have two to five drinks a day have 11⁄2 times the risk of women who drink no alcohol.

• Being overweight or obese.

Fat cells can produce estrogen even after your ovaries stop.

Excess weight in the waist area may effect risk more than extra weight in the thighs and hips.

• Lack of physical activity. It’s not clear exactly how much exercise is needed, but evidence that exercise reduces breast cancer risk is growing.

under 40 – to have a mammogram regularly. “I’ve met women in their 20s who have breast cancer,” she said. “Mammograms are so important. And if you notice anything different around your breasts, tell a doctor immediately.

It could save your life.”

If you are diagnosed with breast cancer, Crawford has some advice. “”Keep the faith,” she said.

“Know that the Lord will get you through it. Cling to your family and friends because they’ll help you.

Lean on them for support.”

Hamilton Post Office does its part in stamping out breast cancer

BY RAY VAN DUSEN MONROE JOURNAL

RAY VAN DUSEN/MONROE JOURNAL

Hamilton Postmaster Twanda Tate stands beside a poster depicting the U.S. Post Office’s breast cancer stamp. The Hamilton Post Office has organized a communitywide event for Saturday to spread awareness of the disease.

‘Since 1998, the sale of breast cancer stamps has raised more than $76.2 million nationally for breast cancer research by choosing this stamp.

That’s why the breast cancer stamp is known as “the stamp that makes a difference.”’

Twanda Tate

Hamilton Postmaster “Even though we put more emphasis on the breast cancer stamps in October, we sell the stamps throughout the year.

We would love for people to

come and purchase them from Hamilton Post Office. We also ask businesses and individuals who use the meter machines to give them a break and pur-

chase the breast cancer stamps from us.

“Since 1998, the sale of breast cancer stamps has raised more than $76.2 million nationally for breast cancer research by choosing this stamp.

That’s why the breast cancer stamp is known as ‘the stamp that makes a difference,’” Tate said.

“Just hearing the testimonies from survivors at these events has been the most touching part,” she said. “You’re getting first-hand stories and it makes the whole event a relatable reality.”

One of her former employees at the Prairie Post Office even

shared her early detection and the importance of mammograms at a previous event.

“We’re expecting a large turnout for this event. Breast cancer has become an all too common occurrence among women and men throughout the world. Each of us knows someone who has been affected by this terrible disease.

We’re anticipating bigger and better things for our future breast cancer events in Hamilton,” Tate said.

AMILTON – Already known as a tight-knit community, Hamilton will be given the opportunity by the Hamilton Post Office to pull together even closer Oct. 5 to comfort and support breast cancer survivors while spreading awareness of the disease.

The event is carried over from the Prairie Post Office’s Breast Cancer Stamp Kickoff, an event held twice by Postmaster Twanda Tate before she transferred to Hamilton.

“From a personal standpoint, my sister, who is 44, is battling breast cancer for the second time within five years.

This community event is a good way to promote breast cancer research and to educate the community about this dreadful disease,” Tate said.

The event begins with a free motorcycle ride at 12:30 p.m. and more events start at 2 p.m., including entertainment by Keith and Margie, Swing Shift and Deborah Harmon of Legacy Hospice of the South as Mistress of Ceremony and registered nurse and breast cancer survivor Patsy Shannon and breast cancer information from Pioneer Hospital and other participating health providers.

Shannon will also be a guest speaker, along with Monroe County District 3 Supervisor Carol Crawford and Sheriff Cecil Cantrell.

Food vendors will also be on-hand selling catfish, pulled pork, turkey legs, chicken wings, Polish sausage and snowcones, among other concessions.

“When we held it in Prairie, it was comforting to the other survivors, and it’s good to know we can bond together when everyone feels each other’s pain. We’re all in it together to stamp out cancer,” Tate said.

Each person at the event is asked to purchase one or more sheets of breast cancer stamps.

REGINA BUTLER PONTOTOC PROGRESS

A very special chapter dedicated to the support, healing and love of those who battling and surviving cancer has been established in Pontotoc.

The Pink Heals Pontotoc North Mississippi Chapter was chartered in January 2013. And it has made history by being the first Mississippi Pink Heals chapter.

Pink Heals is a group of firefighters who travel the nation with big pink fire trucks allowing people to sign them as a visible sign of hope.

Dave Graybill, the founder of Pink Heals, is a retired firefighter from Glendale, Ariz., and is passionate about raising awareness for all cancers.

The Pink Heals Tour consists of a group of dedicated firefighters who commit up to 18 days away from their families for free to drive pink fire trucks and law enforcement vehicles across America.

These guys are called “Guardians of the Ribbon,” and they bring a mission of love and hope for millions who have fought cancer or those who are fighting cancer.

They mostly put women and children first because “she” has always been there for her family.

The inception of Pontotoc’s chapter came about because of the love and efforts of Barry and Adam Carnes along with Adam’s wife, Ali, and the volunteer firefighters and local residents They wanted to establish the chapter because of the cancer battle Barry’s wife Marsha has waged.

Marsha related why the special men in her life

Pink Heals Pontotoc Chapter members Marsha Carnes, left, Larae White and Stephanie White show the T-shirts that are on sale. Proceeds from the sale of the shirts ($20), key chains ($5) and pompoms ($2) will support those in Pontotoc County who are battling cancer. Mark your calendars for October 18, when the Pink Heals Tour will be stopping in Pontotoc. Everyone is urged to wear pink and paint the town pink that day. Anyone wishing to purchase T-shirts for their employees for the October 18 event should call Lance Martin at (662) 489-7805, Marsha Carnes at (662) 4885377 or Adam Carnes at (662) 419-1286. have worked non-stop since 2011 to establish the Pink Heals Chapter.

“In 2011, we were in Or-

ange Beach, Ala., and, as always, made our stop at the fire station to pick up T-shirts,” said Marsha.

“One of the firemen ask me if I had seen the Pink Fire Truck, and I said ‘no.’

With a smile on his face,

he said ‘wait right here.’”

Before long a sight that sent chill bumps down her arms came around the corner.

“He rounded the corner of the fire station in a Pink Fire Truck with the name Cindy on the front of it.

“It made chills run down mine and Amelia’s [her daughter] arms. She said ‘look mother a Pink Fire truck, and to think that someone would do that for women with cancer.’”

That particular fire truck was painted pink and named after the captain’s wife who had recently lost her battle with breast cancer.

“He then handed me a marker and told me to sign the truck and the date I was cancer free,” Marsha said.

“That was such a great feeling.”

It was there she learned of The Pink Fire Truck Tour and Dave Graybill.

Back in Pontotoc, Marsha shared with Barry and Adam and his wife about the experience.

“We all starting looking it up on the Internet. At this time Amelia was thinking about graduation and senior pictures, and she said she would love to have some of her senior pictures made with the Pink Fire Truck,” said Marsha.

Marsha burst her bubble right away by saying, “there is no way.”

However, she underestimated the will and persistence of Adam and his wife Ali. “We finally got in touch with Dave and when I told him what I wanted and that I was a breast cancer survivor and that my husband and son were firemen, he asked ‘Where and when?’” said Marsha.

She could not believe her ears. But her eyes told

her something different in October 2011.

“They made their way to Pontotoc and when they pulled into the fire station and got out of their trucks with big smiles, pink fire gear and those great big hugs it was amazing. It’s a night I will never forget,” Marsha said.

And to top the night off, her daughter, Amelia, was able to make her senior pictures with the big pink fire truck.

“Needless to say, they are a very special group of dedicated men to our family,” Marsha said.

The Pontotoc chapter is busy raising money to help those in need in this area by selling T-shirts.

The chapter is also looking for a fire truck to paint pink so they can begin gathering signatures in this area of those who wish to remember someone who is fighting cancer or in memory of one who has died with cancer.

And to help raise awareness that national group of men in their pink fire trucks are going to be back in Pontotoc with a second Pink Heals Tour.

The fundraiser will be 5 until 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18 at the Off the Square Market.

The tour, along with local firefighters will be doing some school and home visits during the day beginning at 10 a.m.

In the afternoon starting at 5 p.m., the tour will be stationed at the Off the Square Market with live entertainment, provided by The Cody Riddle Band and Hannah Roye.

Fish and chicken plates will be sold for $10 catered

by Cravin’ Catfish.

So dig out your pink Tshirt and paint the town pink that day.
