Breast Cancer In The Workplace Talking about your breast cancer with your employer, human resources department and/ or co-workers is a personal decision, and one that is entirely up to you.

However, you might want to consider discussing it with at least some key colleagues, especially if you’ll be requiring time off to receive treatment or if you’re having difficulties carrying out your daily tasks.

October 24, 2019

ability to perform your work. Others might ask if your cancer is contagious or even inquire as to how long you have to live.

Keep in mind that people’s reactions are more about them than about you. Never feel pressured to share information.

You’re the one that gets to decide what you share and what you keep private.

Always be honest and vocal about what you really want. Tell your colleagues if you prefer not discussing your cancer at work or if you want to keep in touch while you’re undergoing treatment. Be sincere and remember that other people’s emotions can differ from your own.

When it comes to breast cancer in the workplace, each individual and their particular situation is different. Certain women prefer informing their employer the moment they’re diagnosed, while others choose to start treatment first. And depending on their treatment protocol, some women prefer not to talk about it at all. You can always ask your doctor for advice if you’re having trouble deciding what to do.

Should you opt to discuss your cancer, you’ll likely encounter a variety of responses. Some will offer you their support and words of encouragement, while others might have upsetting or hurtful reactions. It’s quite possible that certain colleagues might begin avoiding you or questioning your

MAMMOGRAMS:

a key tool in the fight against breast cancer

Medical Directory • LaFollette Press

YOU CAN TRUST YOUR SMILE WITH US.

October 18, 2019 is National Mammography Day. It’s observed yearly as part of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and is an opportunity to educate the public on the importance of early detection in the fight against breast cancer.

About one in eight American women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. Although death rates have been declining in recent years, it’s estimated that more than 40,000 women will die of breast cancer in 2019. The best way to prevent cancer and ensure positive outcomes remains early detection and screenings.

SCREENING MAMMOGRAMS A mammogram is an X-ray photograph of the breast. It’s one of the most important screening tools available to doctors because it can detect anomalies before they become noticeable through self-exam. This allows healthcare professionals to catch cancer early, thus increasing the chances that the treatments offered will be effective.

The American Cancer Society recommends that women at average risk for breast cancer get screened every year between the ages of 45 and 55. Women 55 and older should get screened every second year, for as long as they’re expected to live another 10 or more years.

DIAGNOSTIC MAMMOGRAMS These allow doctors to get more information about a suspicious lump or other anomaly detected by screening tests. It’s a crucial tool that enables medical professionals to design effective treatment plans and provide the best care possible.

Early detection and prevention have dramatically reduced breast cancer deaths. Being proactive about screening is the most important thing you can do to protect your health. For more information, visit nationalbreastcancer. org or pinkribbon.org.

10 TIPS FOR A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP A majority of North Americans report having trouble falling or staying asleep. Sound familiar? Here are ten tips from the organizers of World Sleep Day to help you develop and maintain good sleep hygiene.

Avoid spicy foods and caffeinated beverages in the hours before you go to bed.

1. Decide on a time for going to bed and one for getting up, and stick to them.

2. Don’t sleep for more than 45 minutes during the day.

3. Avoid smoking or drinking alcohol during the four hours preceding your bedtime.

4. Don’t consume caffeine in the six hours before you go to bed.

For best results, avoid not just coffee, but also tea, chocolate and cola.

5. Don’t eat foods that are overly spicy, sweet or rich for four hours before you go to bed. If hunger strikes in the evening, stick to a light snack.

6. Make sure to get enough exercise, but don’t work out right before bed.

7. Sleep in a comfortable bed, on a quality mattress.

8. Keep your bedroom well ventilated, and set your thermostat to a pleasant, cool temperature.

9. Find a way to minimize light and noise as much as possible during the night.

10. Don’t use your bedroom as a home office or playroom. Your bed should be reserved for sleep and sex.

Patients are the reason for our existence.

November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month.

Although people tend to use the terms interchangeably, palliative care and hospice care are in fact two different things. While hospice care is always palliative care, palliative care isn’t always hospice care. Though both types of treatment plans provide comfort to patients with serious illnesses, there are important differences.

WHAT IS PALLIATIVE CARE? Contrary to popular belief, receiving this type of treatment isn’t a death sentence. The primary goal of palliative care is to improve the quality of life of people diagnosed with a serious or life-threatening illness.

This medical specialty concentrates on relieving the physical and psychological symptoms of a serious disease and the potentially difficult side ef­fects of its treatment.

Palliative care can begin as soon as a person receives their diagnosis and continue as they undergo curative treatment for the illness.

HOT OR COLD:

What To Wear When Running When the weather is temperate, deciding what to wear for a run is fairly straightforward. But how should you dress under more extreme conditions? Here are some guidelines.

HOT WEATHER RUNNING When it’s hot, the fewer layers you have on the better. Choose clothes that are made of synthetic, moisture-wicking materials that’ll keep you cooler than natural fibers like cotton. In addition, it’s best to select loose fitting, light-colored apparel.

During the summer, some women are comfortable running in just a sports bra or crop top and some men forgo shirts altogether. If you prefer to cover up, choose a tank top instead of a T-shirt.

In extremely hot weather, it’s best to avoid being active when the sun is at its strongest. Opt to run in the morning or at night instead.

COLD WEATHER RUNNING In cold weather, it’s better to be a little chilly and dry than overly hot and sweaty. Dress in layers that you can remove if you get hot.

Wear running pants or tights and a long-sleeved top made of a moisture-wicking material. Cover your ears with a headband and your hands with lightweight wool gloves. If necessary, put on a fleece sweater or vest. On windy or wet days, wear a waterproof windbreaker.

No matter when you’re running, remember to protect yourself from the sun. Wear a hat or visor and a pair of sunglasses. Never neglect to wear sunscreen, even if it’s cloudy.

CAN READING IN THE DARK DAMAGE YOUR VISION? If you’re an avid reader, you’ve probably been told to turn a light on while reading so you don’t harm your eyes. According to most ophthalmologists, however, while reading in the dark temporarily strains your eyes, it won’t permanently damage your vision. In other words, it’s safer than most people think to read under the covers with a flashlight late into the night.

The reason most experts believe that reading in the dark won’t cause lasting damage is because your eyes are naturally designed to adjust to different levels of light.

In the dark, your pupils dilate to take more light into your retinas through the lens. Photoreceptors in your retina then convey information about what you can see to your brain.

That’s why when you enter a dark room or turn off the lights, you’ll notice that you’re gradually able to see more as your eyes adjust.

Your eyes also regulate when reading in dim light. The extra effort can place strain on the various components of your eyes. This can potentially cause you to experience eyestrain, headaches, blurred vision and back and neck strain.

While these symptoms are unpleasant, they won’t cause lasting damage and should go away on their own. If they don’t, you may have an underlying condition and should see your optometrist right away.

SEVEN TIPS: Better Stress Management Are you constantly stressed? Did you know that chronic stress has a negative impact on both your physical and emotional health? Unchecked, it can lead to migraines, ulcers, muscle tension, chronic fatigue, increased risk of heart attacks, irritability, anger and poor concentration. That is why it’s so important to reduce your stress and learn to manage it. Here are some tips to help you get there.

7. AVOID CREATING ADDITIONAL STRESS FOR YOURSELF. Be organized. Set your priorities. Do one thing at a time and delegate what you can. Learn to manage your anger and have realistic expectations that don’t demand perfection.

Avoid procrastinating, and learn to say no.

ADOPT A POSITIVE ATTITUDE. YOUR PERCEPTION OF EVENTS IS OFTEN A MAJOR STRESS FACTOR IN ITSELF.

1. REST. Getting enough sleep is essential in order to reduce stress. Most people need seven to eight hours of sleep.

2. EAT HEALTHY. A nutritious and balanced diet helps your body manage stress more efficiently and strengthens your immune system. Avoid alcohol, caffeine and sugar as much as possible.

3. EXERCISE. Regular physical activity helps reduce stress.

4. HAVE FUN. Devote some time to doing what you love. Go out, take time for yourself and laugh—laughter is known to increase feelings of well-being.

5. ADOPT ANTI-STRESS TECHNIQUES. Learn about relaxation, breathing exercises, meditation, yoga, tai chi, music, self-massage, etc.

6. RELY ON YOUR FRIENDS. Sharing your concerns or asking for advice helps you put things in perspective and keeps you from feeling isolated.

4 COMMON EYE CONDITIONS AND THEIR SYMPTOMS According to the 2016 National Health Interview Survey, 25.5 million Americans age 18 and older report experiencing some form of vision loss.

Over the course of a lifetime, vision changes dramatically. Early detection is critical to prevent problems from getting worse. Here are the warning signs of four common eye conditions that can cause vision impairment.

1. ASTIGMATISM occurs when the front surface of the eye (the cornea) is slightly irregular in shape and therefore causes a refractive error in your vision. It can be present at birth or occur due to disease or injury. Common symptoms of astigmatism include blurriness and double vision.

2. GLAUCOMA is the name of a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve. Symptoms include headaches, blurred vision, seeing rainbow halos around lights, red eyes, throbbing eye pain and nausea. Some forms of glaucoma show no symptoms, so it’s important to visit your optometrist regularly.

3. MACULAR DEGENERATION involves the deterioration of your retina and could severely impair your capacity to see. Your vision may become fuzzy, straight lines could appear crooked and you may start to notice blind spots in your field of vision.

4. RETINAL DETACHMENT happens when your retina becomes disconnected from the tissue around it. You may notice floaters in your eye, flashes of light and darkened or blurred peripheral vision.

Left untreated, these diseases can worsen and lead to blindness. They may also indicate other underlying health conditions.

Make sure to have your eyes examined by an optometrist every one to two years and to contact your doctor if you start experiencing eye pain or notice redness, irritation or discharge.

The Possible Health Risks Of VAPING

October 24, 2019

INTERNAL MEDICINE S L E E P D I S O R D E R S • P U L M O N A RY

JAMAL ISBER, M.D. Smoking e-cigarettes, also commonly known as vaping, has become a popular alternative to smoking regular cigarettes. An e-cigarette, or Electronic Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS), is a battery-powered device that heats a liquid containing nicotine, flavorings and other chemicals to create an aerosolized vapor that’s inhaled.

Vaping exposes you to fewer toxic chemicals than traditional tobacco products and is much less likely to lead to heart disease and cancer. However, while e-cigarettes don’t contain tobacco, they do contain nicotine, the substance that makes cigarettes so addictive. It’s also a toxin that can raise your blood pressure, heart rate and adrenaline levels.

E-cigarettes contain other chemicals that are hazardous to your health. A recent study found that the vapor from e-cigarettes contains potentially unsafe levels of toxic metals like lead. What’s more, there’s a lot researchers still don’t know about the long-term health effects of vaping.

CONSIDER CHOOSING THE VACCINE, NOT THE FLU! Flu is a contagious illness caused by a virus which attacks the respiratory system. It has repercussions on the entire human body, including muscle pain, headache, and loss of appetite.

Unlike the common cold, the flu can be incapacitating to the point where it prevents people from continuing with their normal daily activities.

flu vaccine as a source of protection.

Most people are exposed to this virus during the flu season.

However, depending on a person’s immune systems, he or she might catch the flu while another person will not. During an outbreak you should wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your eyes, mouth, or nose, which are the entry points for the most common flu viruses.

• children aged between 6 and 23 months; • seniors; • people with chronic illnesses (i.e. asthma, diabetes, heart disease); • healthcare workers.

Studies clearly show that the flu vaccine reduces the frequency of hospitalization and medical consultations, and that it can prevent death from bacterial complications caused by the flu, such as sinusitis, bronchitis, bronchopneumonia, and pneumonia.

Immune systems can be strengthened in several different ways. Having a healthy diet, avoiding stress, and getting regular exercise and plenty of sleep are good preventative practices. In addition, many health experts recommend the

Ideally, the vaccine should be given before the winter months, but it is never too late to be vaccinated, even during the flu season itself. The vaccine is particularly recommended for people at risk of catching the flu or who present a higher risk of complications, such as:
