Banfield fights to beat breast cancer By LAUREN SALCEDO For the Globe-Times
ARLINGTON — After studying public administration at the University of Southern California and spending a year as an intern in Washington, D.C., Kristin Banfield settled down in Arlington and began a career doing what she loves. “Since I graduated college, I’ve worked in government,” said Banfield, director of human resources and communications for the city of Arlington. “I always knew that’s what I wanted to do.” At the start of 2008, she and her husband, Bill, were planning a trip to Quebec for a hockey tournament and their daughter, Teeghan, was set to begin kindergarten in the fall. Everything was going well for the young family. “We love hanging out with family and friends, camping and just enjoying life,” Banfield said. “That’s what I remember was going on at the time, but 2008 is what I call, ‘the year I would like to forget.’”

Medical Center in Everett. With no family history of breast cancer, Banfield was surprised. “I’m 35, a mammogram, really?” she said. “Since it was my first mammogram, my mom offereed to go with me. She is a cancer survivor as well; she had thyroid cancer in her 20s. But we
weren’t even thinking of cancer at that point.” Following the mammogram, her doctors decided to do an ultrasound as well. That’s when Banfield began to worry. “The ultrasound was the same day, and they said, ‘We definitely see something in there,’” she said. They ordered a biop-
sy to find out more. “It’s a long needle with a hole at the end,” Banfield said of the procedure. “They take five samples, so you feel a bit sore the next day.” The doctor believed it looked like a fibroadenoma, which is a benign tumor. “A few days later, the breast center called to go over the results,”
Banfield said. “It was what they call ADH, which stands for atypical ductal hyperplasia. It means the cells are growing.” They did another test and found that the lump was DCIS, or ductal carcinoma in situ — Stage 0 breast cancer. Stage 0 refers to a noninvasive breast SEE FIGHT, PAGE 4

She was scheduled for a lumpectomy in mid-April to remove the tumor. DCIS is treatable, but if left unchecked, can spread into the breast tissue outside of the milk ducts. “Here I am at 35, we have a 4-year-old daughter and, in two months, I have gone from a regular checkup to a lumpectomy,” Banfield said.

Memorial Day camping trip. “My oncologist was looking through my records and found that, for some reason, they hadn’t done one test, which checks how responsive it is to estrogen and progesterone,” she said. “So they sent it off to the lab again.” While the Banfield family was celebrating the holiday in Moses Lake, her oncologist, Dr. Oliver Batson of Providence Regional Medical Center, was trying to reach her. “Doctor Batson said, ‘I don’t like doing this over the phone but we had your tumor retested, and it’s actually Stage 1,’” said
Banfield, who was stunned. “That meant it was invasive. “And that same day, I got the phone call on the MRI. They found another tumor.”
The options
“Radiation was off the table with the results that my first tumor was actually invasive and that there was a second tumor discovered. We needed to reset our game plan with the new information,” Banfield said. “I could do another lumpectomy and remove the second tumor, or I could get a mastectomy and remove the whole breast.” She was unhappy
with the result of her first lumpectomy. “Because my tumors were so responsive to estrogen, there was no chance for any more kids,” Banfield said. So she met with a plastic surgeon. “He offered to make something beautiful, that made me feel like a woman. And I wouldn’t have to worry or stress about it anymore.” In July of 2008, Banfield underwent surgery to have her left breast removed. It was during that surgery that doctors found a third tumor that didn’t show on the MRI. See Fight, Page 5

fight fROM Page 4 With no breast tissue left to radiate, that left chemotherapy to complete her treatment. “They have a cool test called Oncotype DX, which tests your tumors’ likelihood of recurrence and its responsiveness to chemo. “They rate it on a scale and for anything over 30, they recommend chemotherapy. Mine was just under 20,” Banfield said. “At that point, I was the luckiest person in the world. Not only do I not have to go through radiation, I also don’t have to do chemotherapy.”
“It’s not that often that you don’t have to do radiation or chemo. From my perspective it’s very unusual,” she said. Banfield then decided, as a precautionary measure, to have her right breast removed. She had the surgery in September of 2008. “If you only have cancer on one side, there’s a good chance they will find it on the other side,” she said. “They took my right side and ran it through all the same tests that they would if there was a lump there. There was nothing there. It’s always nerve-wracking but you can’t live your life in constant fear,

It just takes that long to run all those tests. They have gotten faster, but I think it’s always going to be the hardest part.” Despite the stress and fear that came with the diagnosis and surgeries, Banfield said she had several inspiring people to look to for support. “I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. I don’t have enemies, but I wouldn’t wish it on anyone,” she said.
“I’ve seen people die, and I’ve seen people survive. My mom is my inspiration — she is a 30-plus year survivor. If she can deal with raising me and my brother and survive cancer, then I felt I could too. “When my daughter was born, my mom’s mom was undergoing treatment for skin cancer. “When you see an 80-year-old woman going through chemo and radiation and saying, ‘Ah, you’re going to be fine.” And she is my grandma? If she can do it at 80, I can do it at 30.”

Bra shop helps women in need
BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com
EVERETT — Citrine Health’s recent move has allowed the Everett-based nonprofit to expand its services to women and families in Snohomish, Skagit, Island, Whatcom, San Juan and Pierce counties, which include meeting the needs of area women who have undergone breast cancer. Program Manager Becky Jones reported
that the June 1 move to 2940 W. Marine View Dr. in Everett expanded Citrine’s floor space from 6,000 to 11,500 square feet, enough for a 2,800-square-foot event room available for rentals, as well as a dedicated yoga space, two massage rooms and a workspace for 12 employees. It also upgraded its parking from on-street to a 40-space lot. “We’ve also finally opened our bra shop,” Kirk Boxleitner/Staff Photo

Citrine Health Program Manager Becky Jones helps certified fitter Angie Fair tidy up the bra shop’s selection.
Jones said. “It offers selections in every woman’s size, including post-mastectomy breast prostheses. We even have a certified fitter.” Jones explained that Citrine partners with the Washington State Department of Health’s Breast, Cervical and Colon Health Program to connect women to free or low-cost preventative healthcare services, allowing underinsured and uninsured women to receive free mammograms and yearly health exams through contracted health providers and
facilities, including the Comprehensive Breast Center in Everett and Cascade Valley Hospital in Arlington. “We can help them pay the bills and navigate their way through the system,” Jones said. While the Sea Mar Community Health Centers and the Community Health Centers of Snohomish County offer similar services to underinsured and uninsured patients, Citrine’s bra shop makes it unique. Breast prostheses can run into the $300 range, but Citrine’s new and gently used breast-forms are free to those in need. SEE BRA, A10

Like many of you, I also know people with cancer
Dear Readers, Some people have asked, “Why is the publisher of The Marysville Globe and The Arlington Times so passionate about the disease of breast cancer?” I’ll be happy to share with you why. I’m a husband, a father and grandfather of women. I am also a first cousin of a stage four breast cancer survivor. And I have some very close personal friends who are now afflicted with the disease. I have personally experienced what many family and friends of breast cancer patients experience every day. And I am optimistic that a cure can be achieved within our lifetimes. According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the second-leading cause of death among women in the United States, led only by lung cancer. One-outof-eight women will be diagnosed; it happens every two minutes in the United States. The good
Opinion
Paul Brown, publisher
news is that deaths related to breast cancer have been declining since 1989, primarily due to increased awareness and early diagnosis through screening and improved treatments. Did you know that breast cancer is not “a women’s only” disease? While it’s true that mostly women are afflicted, men and children are susceptible, too. According to the American Cancer Society, about 2,360 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be detected in men this year. About 430 will die. While not common, children are potential victims
as well. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This year, as in the previous two years, The Marysville Globe and The Arlington Times is pleased to provide you, our readers, with a very special supplement; titled “Think Pink” it is devoted entirely to breast cancer awareness. Our goal is to provide the communities we serve with relevant, informative and useful information about this insidious disease. We will provide you with interviews from local breast cancer experts, physicians, clinicians and support groups in the Marysville, Tulalip, Arlington, Smokey Point and Lakewood areas. You will learn about some of the concepts our medical society has available to more-effectively detect and treat this condition. And you will read about

Nutrition even more important for cancer patients
Finding the time and energy to plan meals can be difficult under normal circumstances. It can be particularly overwhelming for cancer patients when eating itself becomes a challenge. Arlington native Karena Raino-Nevratakis was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2011. After her first round of chemotherapy, she ate at a restaurant and soon after contracted pneumonia. “I recommend staying home and out of public restaurants as much as possible when it comes to food,” the 39-year-old said. “I caught pneumonia after going to the restaurant and associate the two as possibly connected.” Taste changes during treatment. “During chemotherapy, I had severe taste bud changes the whole time. Nothing had much taste or it tasted awful. It was hard to eat because you just don’t want to,” said Corinna Howard,
diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2013. The 44-year-old received treatment — surgery, chemotherapy and radiation — at Everett’s Providence Regional Cancer Partnership. Medications caused chronic pancreatitis, a digestive disease, which further exacerbated eating issues. She lost upwards of 50 pounds and struggled with nutrition issues. “Especially with the pancreatitis, no one ever really advised me on what I needed to do to get better,” Howard said. Like many patients, Howard identified palatable foods through trial and error. However, dietary tips can sometimes help ease the process. Many medical institutions offer nutrition counseling via registered dietitians and classes. What to eat? “I see a lot of people who start following a very restrictive diet after being diagnosed,” said Margaret Hines, registered oncology dietician at the partnership. SEE EAT, PAGE 18

“It’s not necessarily the time to make big changes and start eating only kale smoothies. People need to maintain weight, hydration and keep the immune system strong during treatment.” Common treatment side effects include taste changes and sensitivity to food temperature, mucositis characterized by sores and dryness of the mouth and digestive tract, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Fatigue also can become an obstacle. For patients with diminished appetites, large amounts can be overwhelming. Try smaller meals and snacks. Whenever possible, Hines recommends incorporating healthy, high-calorie items such as avocados, extra olive oil and nut butters. Add peanut butter to everything from shakes to toast for a calorie and protein boost. “Both cancer itself and treatment causes the body’s metabolism to change. Try to compensate for the extra protein the body consumes for healing,” recommended Angela Merges, regis-

Cancer patients need to wash fruits and vegetables and stay hydrated with water or Gatorade.

The less flavor, the less conflict between my taste buds and what I knew it should normally taste like.” Corinna Howard Breast cancer patient tered dietician at Swedish Medical Center’s Edmonds Breast Center. Increase protein — preferably lean — at every meal and snacks. Merges recommends additions such as an extra egg at breakfast and chicken, salmon or tuna salad for lunch. Add cheese to crackers, potatoes and sandwiches. Additionally, eat whole-grain carbohydrates for energy. Many patients experience a change in taste, which can shift even
daily. Chemotherapy often imparts a metallic flavor to food. The effect, Hines said, is sometimes lessened by eating with plastic utensils, cooking in glassware and avoiding food from cans. “The blander the better for me,” Howard said. “Cream of Wheat was a go-to along with oatmeal, plain crackers and mashed potatoes. The less flavor, the less conflict between my taste buds and what I knew it should normally

taste like.” Well-intentioned friends and family — even businesses — sometimes pressure patients to eat “cureall” foods. Follow your gut both literally and figuratively. “Unfortunately, cancer patients are vulnerable to all sorts of weird diet advice,” Hines said. “There is no magic bullet, elixir or herb that you can take to make everything immediately better. If there was, we’d tell you.” Instead, Hines recommends consulting with an oncologist, registered dietician or reputable sources such as the American Cancer Society or National Cancer Association. Staying hydrated is essen-
tial to good health, but even more so during cancer treatment. “Especially with chemo, doctors generally advise lots of fluids to help flush things through,” Hines said. “Treatment can diminish the sense of thirst, so we usually tell people to drink more than they think they need.” If water doesn’t whet the appetite, flavor it with crushed fruit. Beverages such as Gatorade are recommended both for replenishing fluid and electrolytes. Popsicles, fruit juice and broth are also good options. “If you don’t have much appetite or problems with nausea, separate fluid intake from meals. Don’t fill up on water so that you don’t eat food and vice versa. You don’t want to miss out on either,” Merges said. Cancer patients often experience neutropenia, abnormally low counts of white blood cells, which help fight infections. Food bacteria that is safe for a healthy person can be highrisk for those with weakened immune systems. Cook meals — particularly meat — thoroughly. SEE EAT, PAGE 20

Eating smaller portions and fish like salmon and tuna are important for cancer patients.
EAT FROM Page 18 If dining out is a must, pass on raw items such as salads and sushi. Inform servers of the need for food to be cooked extra hot and well done. Be cautious even of meals prepared by well-meaning friends and family. Ensure that proper food-safety precautions were taken. Even if a patient simply can’t tolerate the taste, feel free to decline. “Find what works best for you so food doesn’t become another stressor,” Merges said. “You know your body best.”
Nutrition tips
•Eat smaller, more
frequent meals and snacks rather than large, overwhelming servings. •To combat weight loss, incorporate healthy, high-calorie foods such as avocados, olive oil and peanut butter. •Bright flavors, such as strawberry and lemon, sometimes offset a lack of taste. •If food tastes unpleasant, bland items and tepid temperatures are often more tolerable. •Boost protein by adding items such as eggs and cheese to meals. •Soft foods, shakes, ice cream and soups are easier when dealing with mouth sores. •Avoid fibrous foods when suffering from diarrhea. Soluble fiber in applesauce, how-
ever, helps decrease diarrhea. •Drink lots of water. Add fruit, lemon or cucumbers for flavor. Popsicles, broth and fruit juice are also good options. •Place eight full glasses of water in the fridge every morning as a visual reminder to hydrate. •Separate meals and water intake — don’t fill up on one at the expense of the other. •Stick with cooked, canned or packaged foods that are bacteria free. •Avoid restaurants whenever possible. •If cooking at home, make double batches and freeze leftovers for when you’re too tired to prepare meals. •Prepare food in the morning when you have the most energy.

A mammogram can help detect breast cancer in its earliest stages.
Cancer treatments vary The Skagit Regional Health Breast Institute, funded in part through $600,000 in grants from Safeway, realizes that breast cancer treatment is not one size fits all. The team in Mount Vernon with a clinic in Arlington examines each case to develop a treatment plan tailored to the uniqueness of each patient. There may be more than one right option, officials there say. From diagnosis to curative treatment, most women with breast cancer will
have surgery. Breast surgery has evolved dramatically over the last decade, and many less-invasive procedures are now available. Most cancers are treated with drug therapy to kill dividing cancer cells. Using highly precise techniques to deliver individualized treatments, Skagit minimizes the dose to normal tissues while delivering high doses to the cancer. Drug therapy includes chemotherapy and biotherapy. Chemotherapy is

systemic drug therapy administered orally or through an IV that kills cancer cells at different stages of growth. These drugs may also kill healthy cells, resulting in common side effects such as nausea, hair loss and diarrhea. Biotherapy is a systemic drug therapy that may be targeted specifically to kill only cancer cells. These drugs generally have fewer side effects and toxicities than chemotherapy.

Statistics
Nationwide, the fiveyear survival rate for women with breast cancer has improved from 85 percent in 1970 to 95 percent in 2010. If caught in stages 0 to 2, often when the patient has a mammogram, the survival rate is 94 percent and better. Stage 3 survival rate is 85 percent. If the cancer spreads to the lymph nodes the survival rate is 32 percent. If it metastasizes the rate is 5 percent.

Centers help low-income folks
BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes. com
MARYSVILLE — Breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer for women so it is imperative to get checked out before symptoms become threatening. But not everyone can easily afford access to medical centers that screen for cancer. Some people face an economic barriers. Community health centers are federally qualified health facili-
ties that provide primary health care services to low income and undocumented individuals. “If you have any barriers in getting the necessary screening done, definitely go to your local community health center,” Sea Mar clinic manager Anthony Amos said. “They bridge the gap between low-income residents and health care.” Sea Mar, located off SEE CENTER, PAGE 25

“We talk to our clients about getting their screening mammogram done; it’s routine for everyone that comes in,” Potter said. Sea Mar also has partnerships with Evergreen Radia and Health for screening their patients. If Sea Mar screens something that could be dangerous, they encourage the clients to seek further screening or treatment at a health care provider. “We help them through the process of getting them involved with programs that will help them,” Potter said. “Those places will give us a cash pay quo, and sometimes it’s much lower when you send someone to a hospital.”
