i opened the glass door and walked into the service shop. “I’m over here,” a female voice spoke. I turned around and gestured towards the state inspection sign, “Do you inspect on Sundays?” I asked. “No. And I’ve had about 12 people call in about tomorrow, too, so you might want to be here before I open the doors,” she recommended. “Really,” I replied with shock. “Ok. I’ll be here by 6:30 tomorrow morning.” I arrived as promised. Shortly after, a cheery woman in a white Volvo station wagon pulled in beside me. “I’m surprised more people haven’t come,” she said. I agreed. The lot was eerily empty given it being the first day for inspections. I was a late bird as was she; we had August stickers on September 1. We continued chatting. Ten minutes later, the doors popped open and the attendant that I had spoken to yesterday motioned for me to come inside. “You’re the only one I can take today,” she said. “We had so many night drops. I hadn’t counted on that.” My new friend from the parking lot tapped me on the shoulder and wished me luck on my inspection. While I was being checked in, I glanced up at the inspection checklist on the wall. There were probably 24 inspection points with subpoints beneath them. Despite my frustration with state inspections, I understand the importance of
maintaining a safe vehicle on the road, not just for me and my family, but for other motorists, as well. It got me to thinking: How often do I conduct internal safety inspections? When was the last time I inspected my thoughts? My relationships? My marriage? My parenting? My direction? My ambitions? If I took an honest inventory, would I pass or would I get a pink sticker and checklist of repairs to make? Inspections aren’t just for cars, are they? In this issue, you’ll learn how hospital chaplains help people find comfort, healing, and in some cases, help them to examine and reconcile their lives. You’ll also find out how cancer survivors feel about the pink movement. We reflect back to the beginning and ask whether the popularity of pink products and apparel are overshadowing their cause. With October also comes the fourth quarter of the year. You know what that means. It’s time to inspect your goals, review your dreams and finish strong.

My son is very involved in sports. How much is too much? Overuse injuries are on the rise. Rather than playing a variety of sports, more children are specializing in a single sport, and even single positions within that sport. Performing the same motions repetitively can injure still-growing muscles and bones. Additionally, year-round play and increasingly competitive atmospheres can make young athletes more susceptible to physical and psychological harm. To help prevent overuse injuries and burn out, young athletes should play a variety of sports. Time off can also benefit children in the long run. Studies show that children involved in intense competition within a sport for a decade are more likely to experience burn out by the time they reach college. I recommend children take at least two months off from their main sport of interest to explore other activities and hobbies. Research even shows that those who take up a sport in their late teens can catch up very quickly to those who started playing years earlier. And don’t forget to keep it fun by taking the focus off of winning and performing.

OCTOBER 2014 | THEHEALTHJOURNALS.COM
Sheryl Mays walked 100 miles to preserve African elephants a future africa with no elephants: that was the image that kept Sheryl Mays walking— through heat and blisters—along paths cleared by wild animals in northern Kenya, until she’d covered 100 miles. For a week in early February, Mays and her partner, Peter Ordonez, walked between 10 and 15 miles a day to raise $5,400 to pay for anti-poaching scouts in the region. As part of an international team of 10 trekkers supported by local guides and 22 camels, Mays returned to Williamsburg, Virginia, temporarily exhausted but physically and mentally stronger—and determined to continue her efforts. “The last day, we got to meet some community scouts who told us, ‘We don’t want to have to tell our grandchildren about these amazing creatures called elephants that are no longer here,’” Mays says. “It moved everyone to tears. I would do it all again.” Mays, director of operations and public programs for Historic
Jamestowne, has long donated money to wild animal causes. She has a special affection for elephants—intelligent and family-oriented creatures hunted for their ivory tusks. She took action when she read a Facebook post about the “100 Miles for Elephants” trek organized by two groups — Space for Giants and the Earth Elephant Initiative in partnership with African community leaders and a walking safari company. Mays, 51, also realized she’d fallen into a physical rut following several injuries, including surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon and bursitis in one heel. “I didn’t exercise a lot, so I wanted a challenge to motivate me,” she says. She began working with a personal trainer and taking fiveto seven-mile walks. In Africa, her group slept in tents and hiked from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m. along dusty trails, took a break from the sun and 90-degree temperatures for a meal prepared by guides—food included fresh
fruits and vegetables, oatmeal, eggs and homemade rolls—and got moving again after 4 p.m. tea. The trekkers passed footprints of large animals, including lions, elephants and notoriously aggressive cape buffalo, but thankfully never had any close encounters (just one guide carried a gun; the rest had spears, machetes and clubs). Mays later visited a rehabilitation program for orphaned baby elephants, but the highlight was talking to people passionate about reporting poachers to wildlife officials. Mays now hopes to raise more awareness through school presentations and is contemplating two new adventures: a trek in Rwanda to help protect mountain gorillas or an excursion to Borneo Rainforest to see the orangutans in their habitat and learn about what’s being done to save these species. “I came home in a better place,” she says. “I don’t want to stop here.”

ADVANCES IN MEDICINE
Banking On It ❥ WRITTEN BY KIM O’BRIEN ROOT
two years ago, the american academy of Pediatrics released a statement saying that all preterm infants should receive breast milk, whether it was a mother’s own milk or donor milk. The neonatal intensive care unit, or NICU, at Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters in Norfolk, Virginia, took that to heart, starting a program a few months later. The hospital began bringing in donor milk from milk banks, paying $5 an ounce. “We took that [statement] as a gold standard,” says Ashlynn Baker, who at the time was a NICU nurse. “It was something that we believed in. We know how valuable this is to the babies.” This year, CHKD took the program one step further, opening its own milk bank, which allows women to donate their own breast milk. The milk bank— funded through a grant from The King’s Daughters, the charitable arm of the hospital—is the first in Virginia and one of only 18 in North America. Only a handful of NICUs in Virginia are using donor milk, although many are working on starting programs, Baker says. CHKD’s 70-bed NICU is a Level IV unit, meaning it provides the highest level of neonatal care available, treating the sickest babies in Hampton Roads. It uses 400 to 700 ounces of donor milk a week. Since The King’s Daughters Milk Bank opened in June, more than 100 women have donated nearly 20,000 ounces of milk, all of which is used to treat preterm babies at the Norfolk children’s hospital. The bank is receiving so much milk that it hopes to provide some to other hospitals in the near future, says
Baker, who is now the milk bank’s manager. Right now in the NICU, breast milk is used to feed very low-weight babies, those born at less than 32 weeks gestation or under 3 pounds—those considered most medically at-risk. “We value it as a medication,” Baker says. “Human milk is that important.” Among breast milk’s benefits, it provides human growth hormone, supplies fats and proteins, and prevents necrotizing enterocolitis, a serious intestinal disease that can affect preemies. At the milk bank—located in the Medical Tower building across from Sentara Norfolk General Hospital—the milk is treated very carefully, starting with the strict screening of donors to find out lifestyle and medical history, much like Red Cross screenings before donating blood. To donate, the milk bank ensures that both mother and child are healthy through blood tests to screen for diseases such as HIV, Hepatitis B and C, and syphilis. Only then is the mother cleared to donate and provided with bags in which breast milk can be frozen. Once the milk arrives at the milk bank, it’s thawed, homogenized, sealed in BPAfree bottles and pasteurized—sterilized to kill any potential bacteria or viruses. After pasteurization (which allows the milk to retain 75 percent of anti-infective properties), the milk is again tested to be sure no bacteria is present. So far, the response from the community has been wonderful, Baker says. Some donors are first-time mothers; some are grieving mothers who lost their babies and
Women wishing to donate their breast milk can call 757-668-6455 or email KDMilkBank@chkd.org.
want to donate their breast milk as a legacy to their child. Stephanie Matson of Norfolk is a secondtime mom who realized she was producing so much milk, she wanted to help others. She made her first donation in June, and has since donated about 2,900 ounces. “I know how important breast feeding is, and I hate that not everybody gets the opportunity to breast feed,” says Matson, 26, who has two sons, ages 9 months and 2. “This is my way of giving back.” Matson, who is in the Navy and a fulltime student, will be soon be getting stationed in Jacksonville, Florida, but plans to keep on donating to CHKD. For women outside Hampton Roads who want to donate, the milk bank provides them with a cooler and supplies and pays for shipping, Baker says.

as a girl but had no interest in creating art. It wasn’t until after retiring in 2000 and volunteering as a docent at the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Virginia, that Webster’s mind changed. “I realized that if I was going to be a docent and talk about art, I needed to try it,” Webster admits. She thumbed through art books painting the things she saw—Raphael, Monet, Vermeer and Hopper. She was swept away by the feeling that painting gave her. “It transports me,” she says. “The world that I’m living in disappears. It’s marvelous therapy.” Her home now has become a gallery to her paintings, which spans from her kitchen and living room down the halls and into her bedrooms. She loves to experiment with different mediums in her work. “I like the intensity of oils. I stay away from acrylics because they dry too fast and you can’t poke around. I’ve tried some watercolors, too. I think I’ll just stick with oils,” Webster says. She encourages all new artists to visit galleries and take lessons. “Even if you think you don’t have the slightest amount of talent, but like to look at a decent picture, try it!” she says. Webster is still in disbelief at how well she paints considering that she never did it before. “I’m stunned,” she says. “I didn’t have any talent as far as I thought.”

started teaching in Coronado and the recreation department paid me.” In that same charming southern California city, fellow resident and Stott’s student George Ikonen met his beautiful wife, Aiko, while stationed there between tours in Vietnam. “I came back from Vietnam and was stationed in Coronado. That’s where I met Aiko. She worked at the exchange...and that’s where I picked up oil painting,” he remembers. Ikonen was sent back overseas for 13 months between 1974 and 1978. He retired in 2008 and Aiko suggested that the couple move into a retirement community. They’ve lived at Atlantic Shores for five years, where Ikonen picked up his brushes again and started taking Stott’s classes. “I paint on my own primarily, but I talk with the other artists in the community. We discuss color schemes, techniques and how to get unstuck when we get stuck,” smiles Ikonen, who likes to work in watercolors these days. Ikonen won Honorable Mention in the May 2013 Virginia Museum of Fine Arts nonprofit Homes for the Aging annual show. His watercolor, “Gazebo,” depicts Aiko in a gazebo on Red Wing Lake in Virginia Beach. Around the corner from that same lake—and a few streets down from Stott and Ikonen—resides 75-year-old Jane Webster, a former New Yorker.

dorothy stott moved into the Atlantic Shores Retirement Community in Virginia Beach, Virginia, nine years ago. The vibrant 94-year-old art teacher lives alone and continues to paint and to instruct a group of students —all residents—each week at the campus. “There were no art programs when I got here,” says Stott. “ So I put up a little notice on the bulletin board in the mailroom.” Since then, she’s taught over 80 students, and her classes go on throughout the year. She even takes her students on field trips around the community to critique paintings on the walls in an effort to add to their creative experience. Stott graduated from Ashland University in her native Ohio. She got married and her husband, in the United States Navy at the time, was sent off to World War II. She and her children stayed in her parents’ home and she taught art to her kids and other children in the neighborhood in her parents’ basement. Since her husband was an engineer by trade, the couple moved every seven years, living in Ohio, Texas, California, Mississippi, Pennsylvania and finally Virginia. And everywhere Stott went, she taught art. “I missed teaching,” she explains. “So I would start up classes everywhere we went.” Her fondest memories are of Coronado, California, a small beach community west of San Diego, California. “That was heaven on earth,” she says blissfully. “I

PinkPower, PINK PROBLEMS Are tendy pink products trumping breast cancer education and awareness? ❥ WRITTEN BY ALISON JOHNSON
these days, most people who spot a looped pink ribbon know exactly what it symbolizes. Even young kids aren’t surprised to see hulking football players sporting bright pink shoes in October, designated as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. There’s not much that hasn’t turned pink in recent years: stuffed animals, clothes,
jewelry, makeup cases, cereal boxes, candy, toasters, vacuum cleaners, car accessories, cell phone cases, nail clippers, tattoo art, pet collars and more. The pink movement, which grew up during the 1990s to focus attention on a frighteningly common but once rarely-discussed disease, is undeniably powerful. It’s also

undeniably successful. Compared to just a few decades ago, educational initiatives and research funding have skyrocketed. Today’s patients also have access to a community of support that can bolster their spirits throughout treatment. But the story of the pink movement isn’t so simple—or entirely rosy. For many women and their families, pink products are an important source of comfort, power and pride. Others, however, see them differently: as more commercial than inspiring, as a too-pretty cover for an ugly disease, or as an obstacle in their drive to continue defining themselves as individuals, not just cancer patients. The rest are somewhere in the middle. Take Mary Beth Gibson of James City County, Virginia, who was 41 and busy raising three young boys when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006. Immediately, Gibson, now executive director and co-founder of Beyond Boobs!—a nonprofit that provides breast education and supports
“
young women with cancer—began to notice pink everywhere. She was touched by her husband’s vow to wear a pink plastic bracelet until she was cancer-free, and when a friend put a pink ribbon decal on the back of her car. But soon, a barrage of pink gifts from well-meaning loved ones—mostly stuffed bears, jewelry and clothes—was overwhelming. Gibson also never wanted to wear pink herself; it made her feel as if breast cancer had taken over too much of her life. Eight years later, Gibson’s concern is that the pink ribbon movement has become so sprawling and unregulated that too many people have become immune to its message, while too little is happening to better prevent and treat cancer. “The campaign has done an incredible job of bringing breast cancer to the forefront,” Gibson says. “For that, of course we should all be grateful. But at this point, is it prompting anyone to modify their behavior? When a woman sees a pink ribbon, she should
think, ‘Did I do my self-exam this month? Did I schedule my mammogram?’ Not just, ‘Oh, yeah, breast cancer.’ That’s not going to help us go forward.”
A History of Success
These days, ribbons of seemingly every color have sprouted up to support various causes. Such campaigns, however, are relatively new. By the 1980s, yellow ribbons had become a statement for bringing home soldiers and prisoners of war. By the early 1990s, AIDS activists had introduced red ribbons to focus attention on that disease. And in the fall of 1991, the Susan G. Komen foundation, which works to end breast cancer worldwide, handed out pink ribbons to every participant in its New York City race. In 1992, Self Magazine and the Estée Lauder cosmetics company teamed up on a national awareness campaign featuring a pink ribbon. The two originally wanted to incorporate a grassroots effort by a Califor-

nia woman named Charlotte Haley, who had several relatives with breast cancer and was calling for more federal money for prevention. Haley had made a peach-colored ribbon that Self and Estée Lauder wanted to use, but she refused, fearing the campaign’s commercial side—selling cosmetics adorned with a ribbon —would overshadow her message. So the magazine tweaked the color to pink. The pink movement took off quickly. The cause was a worthy one: breast cancer is so common—today, one in eight women will be diagnosed during her lifetime, according to the American Cancer Society—that almost everyone knows someone who has struggled with it. The illness also attacks an important part of a woman’s sense of femininity. In addition, survival rates are high compared to other cancers, giving the movement a hopeful air. A report from the ACS and National Cancer Institute released earlier this year found breast cancer survivors made up 41 percent of all cancer survivors in the United States in 2014. Today, the five-year survival rate for women diagnosed with early stage breast cancer tops 99 percent, according to Komen. Effective marketing, particularly by
apy. “Anything that gets people to talk and raise money for research is inherently a good thing,” she says. “We need to win this fight no matter what. I mean, I have a daughter. I’m terrified this is a gene I’ve given her.”
The Flip Side
No single entity is in charge of all the pink ribbon campaigns in the U.S. Put simply, that means anyone can put a pink ribbon on anything. And that chaos inevitably means some of those products are scams, or that only a tiny percentage of proceeds might actually go to fund breast cancer initiatives. In 2002, a national watchdog group called Breast Cancer Action launched a campaign called “Think Before You Pink” in response to a flood of pink ribbon products on the market. The campaign pushes for accountability and transparency in fundraising, helps consumers evaluate products and lobbies corporations to avoid ingredients that may raise the risk of cancer. Breast Cancer Action urges people to ask four questions before buying pink. First, does money go to support a breast cancer program and if so, how much of the purchase price (it could be pennies)? Second, what organization gets the money, and how do they spend it? Third, is there a maximum total amount a company will donate and if so, how are consumers notified if the cap has already been met? Finally, does a product contain toxins with known or suspected links to cancer? “We’re not saying, ‘Don’t buy anything,’” says Karuna Jaggar, executive director of Breast Cancer Action. “If you feel satisfied that you will be making a difference, then by all means go ahead. We just want consumers to see beyond the ribbon—to realize that a product may not be all they assume it to be.” If there’s any doubt, Jaggar recommends giving money directly to a breast cancer organization doing the work the donor most believes in, whether that’s research or patient support such as help with transportation and medical expenses.

Komen, has had a major impact. The federal government now devotes more than $850 million a year to research, treatment and prevention, compared to $30 million when Komen was founded in 1982. Komen, which organizes Race for the Cure runs and collects a percentage of proceeds from certain pink ribbon products, has invested more than $2.5 billion. The pink movement has transformed the way people talk about breast cancer, says Lisa Chacon, a Virginia Beach, Virginia, resident diagnosed eight years ago at age 42. As a teenager, Chacon remembers watching her grandmother battle a disease that no one outside close family members would discuss. The word “cancer” was rarely uttered, much less “breast.” Twenty-five years later, when Chacon learned she had the same type of cancer, she had many sources for support and answers to her questions. That was tremendously reassuring: she knew she wasn’t in the fight alone, and she could celebrate survival, thanks to advances in diagnostics, treatment and education. Pink became a staple of Chacon’s wardrobe; family members in New Mexico also wore pink when they ran as a team in a Race for the Cure event. “Pink was about camaraderie, connectedness, hope for me,” she says. “I saw women had survived this, and I was encouraged that I could survive it, too.” And even before she got sick, she adds, the campaign had driven home the importance of annual mammograms at age 40, which led to her early diagnosis. Grateful, Chacon began volunteering for Komen after her diagnosis and now works as development/special events director for its Tidewater affiliate. Michele Yepez, a 33-year-old Norfolk , Virginia, woman diagnosed with breast cancer just last December, agrees that the pink campaign has helped many women. Yepez, mother to an 11-year-old son and a 2-year-old daughter, has undergone a double mastectomy and four grueling rounds of chemother-

Sharon Laderberg, executive director of Komen’s Tidewater Affiliate, says buyers looking to support her organization should look for the Komen logo (on Yoplait yogurt lids, for example). That means a company has a third-party agreement with Komen to donate a set percent of proceeds from sales. “And people are always welcome to call us even if our logo is there, to make sure,” she says. Of money donated to a Komen affiliate, 75 percent stays in the local community for services such as patient education, mammograms, transportation to appointments and wigs, Laderberg says. The other 25 percent goes into a pool at Komen’s national headquarters designated exclusively for research. If people are looking for gifts, they should realize that some cancer patients feel alienated by pink, Jaggar reminds. “It can be complicated,” she says. “Some women feel it oversimplifies their disease and obscures the really scary, painful, nauseous reality of breast cancer. They feel that it silences them.” Yepez, like Mary Beth Gibson, had mixed feelings about her mailbox full of pink. What she really wanted was hands-on support: care for her children, home-cooked meals and conversations with friends to feel as normal as possible. “I don’t want to sound ungrateful, because I understand people’s motivation,” she says. “It’s just that I’m trying to get away from making my life about cancer, and it’s kind of thrust on you. All of a sudden, it was like everyone saw me as a cancer patient—not Michele.” During chemotherapy, Yepez also bonded with people battling all types of cancer; she wishes their diseases got the same amount of attention. Komen leaders reply that the pink campaign has reached beyond breast cancer. “In October, I know some people say, ‘All you see is pink,’” Laderberg says. “Well, that gives us an opportunity to talk about other cancers. We opened the door to that.” What everyone can agree on is that much remains to be done to figure out what causes breast cancer—and what people can do to prevent it—help women with limited access to care and develop even more effective therapies. All of that will require more than pink ribbons. As Jaggar puts it, “We’re not just going to shop our way out of breast cancer.” Gibson, a third-generation breast cancer patient, knows the stakes are high. While her grandmother survived the disease, her mother died after a recurrence at age 55. Gibson, whose boys are now 11, 14 and 16, is grateful to be cancer-free after a bilateral mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation and hormonal therapy. As an advocate, though, she is well aware that not everyone is so lucky. “My feeling is that the awareness part of the pink ribbon campaign—which was so important—is done,” she says. “So the question is: What do we do next?”

Breast Health
Update FALL 2014
rishia Madrid isn’t one to mope and feel sorry for herself. Her infectious smile lights up the room and you can feel the positive energy around her. Breast cancer won’t keep her down. Trishia’s journey with breast cancer began in 2013 with her annual screening mammogram. She opted for the 3-D mammogram, a decision that changed her life. At first she wasn’t worried. She once had a call back with benign results and assumed that this time would be “no big deal” as well. Instead, a suspicious mass was found in her left breast and it was recommended that she have a biopsy. “Never in a million years did I think this would happen to me,” she says. In fact, she was so sure that the biopsy results would be benign that she went for a pedicure while waiting for the call back with her results. With her husband of 35 years by her side, Trishia was shocked to hear the radiologist confirm that she had breast cancer. Thanks to 3-D mammography (tomosynthesis), the cancerous mass was found very early, measuring about the size of a pea. “This would not have been detected on 2-D mammography alone,” states Dr. Kelley Allison,
co-medical director of the Dorothy G. Hoefer Comprehensive Breast Center in Newport News. “3-D mammography is allowing us to find cancers earlier when treatment options are most effective.” Trishia underwent a lumpectomy followed by 33 radiation therapy treatments that ended in December 2013. Because Trishia’s cancer was detected early, she did not need conventional chemotherapy treatment. Sharing the information with her friends and family was important. “It was such a relief to know that I wasn’t alone. Someone offered to go with me every day to my treatments, which was very comforting,” Trishia remembers. She felt tired at the end of radiation, but overall had very few side effects. She has experienced some side effects from the aromatase inhibitor that she was prescribed after radiation and has had to switch to a different drug. Aromatase inhibitors are pills taken once a day that stop the production of estrogen in post-menopausal women. This means that less estrogen is available to stimulate the growth of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer cells, and therefore reduces the risk of the breast cancer coming back.
One of Trishia’s passions is sewing and she is a member of a local Quilting Bee that works on special projects each year. When Trishia shared her story with the group, they decided to create something special for breast cancer survivors. They came up with a heart-shaped pattern and made pillows that they donated to the Dorothy G. Hoefer Comprehensive Breast Center. The pillows are given to women undergoing mastectomies and they provide support to the arm after surgery, as well as protection from the seat belt in the car. “When I hand these pillows to women the day after their surgery, their eyes light up and I get the biggest smiles,” says Belinda Risher, RN, MS, a breast cancer nurse navigator who works at the Dorothy G. Hoefer Breast Center. “The pillows are such a small thing, but when someone has just gone through a major disfiguring surgery it lets them know they are loved and they are not alone.” Because she feels so fortunate to have caught her breast cancer early, Trishia tells eveyone who will listen about her experience and encourages women to get their yearly mammogram. “Especially the 3-D mammogram, because it probably saved my life.”

Hoefer Comprehensive Breast Center, the women were embarking on a fundraising fishing adventure in the Chesapeake Bay Wine Classic Foundation’s Virginia Beach Fishing Tournament supporting breast cancer research at Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS). Dr. Hoefer covered the 64 miles to the Norfolk Canyon before 8:30 a.m. Shortly after the lines were in the water, a white marlin crashed the baits, but no hook-up. After lots of trolling and encounters with small black-fin tuna, the crew was rewarded with a gaffer dolphin, which Dr. Tylman wrestled into the boat after a nice fight. The gaffer dolphin, weighing 19.5 pounds, was one of a few caught that day by the crew of Sea Rounds. The crew aboard Sniper caught the winner—a 30 pounder. Jubilee’s team won first place with three white marlin and one blue marlin. Thirty-five boats participated in the annual tournament, raising over $100,000 for breast cancer research. The Dorothy G. Hoefer Foundation at the Comprehensive Breast Center supports a number of ongoing research projects at EVMS. These include two

major grants to Dr. Amy Tang’s lab at the Canoles Cancer Center at EVMS. Dr. Tang (pictured with Dr. Hoefer at the tournament) and her colleagues are studying a novel pathway in breast cancer’s growth. The Foundation is also supporting research at Canoles Cancer Center investigating the utility of breast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI) in defining response of breast cancers to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. This led EVMS researchers to a recent national radiology meeting in San Diego, California, where they reported their initial findings. Another study underway with researchers at the DGH Comprehensive Breast Center and EVMS is investigating the utility of radioiodine seed localization of non-palpable breast cancers. The DGH Comprehensive Breast Center is the first in Virginia to adopt this technique.
FIVE MAMMOGRAM Good Reasons to Get a By Kelley Z. Allison, M.D.
It is that time of year again when pink is everywhere, from illuminated buildings and NFL football teams to the countless walks and runs across America. And despite all the media attention surrounding Breast Cancer Awareness Month, women may still be asking themselves, “Do I really need to have a mammogram?” Consider the following reasons why this could be the single most important test you get this year. 1. Mammography saves lives. Women who get screened decrease their chance of dying from breast cancer by 30 percent. Despite the recent debate over guidelines for screening mammograms, there is universal agreement in the medical community
that mammography saves lives. It is the single most important thing a woman can do to lessen her chances of dying from breast cancer. 2. Early detection is the key to the cure. Mammography can detect cancer at early stages before a woman can feel a lump. When breast cancer is detected early, before it has a chance to spread, the survival rate is 98 percent. Once breast cancer has metastasized and spread throughout the body, the five-year survival rate drops to 25 percent. 3. Risk of breast cancer increases with age. The American Cancer Society advises all women beginning at age 40 to schedule annual mammograms as long as they do not have serious or
chronic health problems. Age alone should not be the reason to stop having mammograms. 4. It’s fast. Mammograms take about 20 minutes. 5. Set the example. Encourage the women in your life to get an annual mammogram by having yours. Do it for yourself and for those you love. Remember, this test may save your life. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2014, nearly 232,000 more women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 40,000 women will die from the disease. Early detection is the key to the cure. No more excuses. Go get your mammogram today!

The Dreaded
Mammogram Callback By Belinda Risher RN, MS / Breast Cancer Nurse Navigator
You just had your annual screening mammogram and checked off that box on your never-ending to-do list. Then you get the dreaded phone call. They need you back for additional testing. Panic sets in. But what does getting “called back” really mean? Sometimes our worst fear is a fear of the unknown. Being asked to return for additional imaging can be frightening. It is important to remember that the majority of women who are asked to have additional imaging turn out to have benign (noncancerous) findings. There are many reasons a radiologist may request additional imaging following a screening mammogram. Calcifications that have formed in the breast tissue, asymmetry, a suspicious mass or an architectural distortion are among the most common abnormal findings that can bring you back. Calcifications are deposits of calcium in breast tissue. While they can be associated with cancer, they are more often associated with non-cancerous findings. Large calcium deposits are common with aging. Additional imaging can help determine if the calcifications appear benign or indicative of breast cancer. Further action may include a follow-up mammogram in six months or other tests such as ultrasound or biopsy. Calcium in the diet does not create calcium deposits in the breasts.
The odds are in your favor, and you should not worry until you have something to worry about. Easier said than done though, right?
Asymmetry simply means that an area of breast tissue in one breast looks different than the tissue in the same area of the other breast. Sometimes this is just how the breast tissue has formed. If it is a change from a prior mammogram or the woman’s first mammogram, additional views and/or ultrasound can help determine the cause. Mass is used to describe an area of denser tissue that can be seen in two views. It appears different from the surrounding tissue and has well-defined borders. A biopsy may be recommended depending on the appearance of the mass. For benign appearing masses, repeat ultrasounds at 6, 12 and 24 months may be recommended to make sure the mass is not increasing in size. Architectural distortion means the appearance of the breast tissue has a distorted appearance. It may be associated with a mass, calcifications, asymmetry or can be the only finding. Trauma or previous surgery to the breast can be the cause, but if there is no history of either to the area, a biopsy may be recommended.

You know what a hospital is. You may know what a chaplain is…but do you know what a hospital chaplain does?
hospitals are places of change, and often, places of crisis. In a hospital, a person experiencing a medical crisis may need support and their families may need help coping. One of the most common misconceptions is that hospital chaplains are there to evangelize—they are not. They are trained specifically to give patients and families what they need, in the way that they need it. Chaplain Roy Foster is part of a rotating team of chaplains at Riverside Tappahannock Hospital, in Tappahannock, Virginia, and he says that he often introduces himself by saying “I’m here to support you in whatever you need, faith or no faith.” “We are trained to personally connect with the patient. Doctors and nurses don’t have the training or the time for some of these matters. We are there to be present to the specific needs of the person,” he says. To become a hospital chaplain, four units of Clinical Pastoral Education are required, including peer feedback groups and residency. This training prepares people who already have a master's in divinity or a seminary degree for the specifics of working in a hospital. Patients often wrestle with questions like “Why is this happening?” and “What did I do to deserve this?” in the hospital and it can be a place of high anxiety. Chaplains offer a confidential person to talk with, and sometimes their objectivity is reassuring. But many people don’t know they can ask for a chaplain or when they should do so. Chaplains are available to be present for patients and family members in the hospital in all kinds of situations, including death, receiving bad news, stress over making decisions, family issues and unfinished business. “People in crisis are more willing to talk, especially to a chaplain,” says Foster. “It’s our job to be present, and to offer compassion and awareness of the critical life event they are experiencing.” Often people who have a sudden illness, such as a heart attack or stroke, have a hard time coping. “It’s a surprise and your head is swirling with fear and terror. Those things you worry about in the back of
your head, you are suddenly experiencing it now,” says Chaplain Barbara Shefelton, staff chaplain at Bon Secours Mary Immaculate Hospital in Newport News, Virgnia. Another reason people may be reluctant to call for a hospital chaplain is that they may not be religious or worried about proselytization from the chaplain. Although chaplains may have backgrounds as congregational pastors, or act as one when they are not at the hospital, these are very different roles. “We meet them where they are. Whether Wiccan, Baha’i, Jewish or Muslim, we are available,” says Shefelton, an ordained Presbyterian minister. “It’s not about evangelism. It’s about being present and helping them talk about what they really need,” Foster says. Chaplains also act as a liaison for other faith leaders, calling them if one of their congregants is admitted, if they want to receive a visit or receive a sacrament. Although people admitted to the hospital are asked about their religious affiliation, the label on their medical chart after religion is only a starting point for chaplains. Particularly with the growing number of people who consider themselves “non-religious,” chaplains may enter a patient room not knowing what to expect. But they contend that people in crisis are in need of spiritual care and listening, so they are there to meet those needs and are trained to be open to what the patient or family needs. In addition, hospital chaplains help people working in the high stress environment of hospitals. Foster says that more than half of his job is to be present for the staff, who experience loss and emotional stress frequently in their jobs. Shefelton said that at first, the shift from a congregation to the hospital was a big change. “I was worried about having no sense of congregation, but the staff becomes that,” she says. Acting as a chaplain varies from place to place. Foster says that in a rural hospital in a small town, one of the differences is that everyone knows each other. “It’s not uncommon that people being treated are known by the hospital staff. This can be both a stress and a comfort,” he says.
TALKING ABOUT IT NOW END OF LIFE CONVERSATIONS It would make chaplain's jobs so much easier if everyone arriving at the hospital had already written down their wishes. Chaplain Shefelton says, “It’s absolutely one of the most important conversations we can have with anyone: our parent, spouse or children. It’s so difficult, but it’s a gift to give your children.” Allison DeLaney, chaplain for Hospice House and Support Care of Williamsburg, Virginia, says it’s never too early to have this conversation. “You honor your life by talking about end of life wishes with your family,” she says. DeLaney suggests using a workbook or guide that covers three topics: your wishes for medical care near the end of your life (often called your advanced directive), your wishes for your funeral and burial or cremation and your will. Your advanced directive and will should be legal documents, including designating someone you trust to make decisions for you if you can’t. An advanced directive includes deciding who will speak for you if there are medical decisions to be made, and what kind of medical treatment you want if you are not expected to recover. Before you document it, spend time thinking about what it is that you want. Think about your values, your favorite music, who you’d like to get your precious items or to care for your pets. “You don’t have to talk about it all the time. Just have one concentrated conversation about it and keep it updated,” DeLaney says. Even if you feel uncomfortable, think of your loved ones and how it may help them. DeLaney recommends everyone do something to acknowledge life has changed after a loved one dies. “Admitting you might die doesn’t make you die sooner. We are all going to die—there’s a 100 percent mortality rate—so we might as well deal with it,” says DeLaney. • Put documents with the right people—your doctor, your friends, your children and your spouse. If you put items in a safety deposit box or safe, make sure the right people know where the keys are.
• If you own a business, consider creating a letter of instruction for your family on who to call upon your death such as your accountant, colleagues and clients.
• Don’t forget that you are more than your stuff. Write down stories to share with your loved ones about your life and your values. What do you want them to remember about you?

VINE AND DINE
Orange
CRUSH ❥ WRITTEN BY PAGE FREER
from pancakes to pastries, to coffees, microbrews and more, America’s penchant for pumpkin is back with a vengeance. Call it an obsession, call it an “orange crush.” Whatever you call it, pumpkin has us by the gourds. You know it’s yummy, but pumpkin—the real kind, from the source—is also packed with healthy antioxidants and vitamins A and C, iron, fiber, potassium and other essential nutrients. One cup of fresh pumpkin weighs in at just 50 calories with zero fat. You can easily make your own fresh, pumpkin puree and incorporate it into a variety of recipes in place of canned pumpkin, as well as roast and eat the seeds. And it’s easier than you might think. Ready to carve up some fun? Here are step-by-step instructions on how to use a whole pumpkin—tried and tested by The Health Journal staff.
Choose your pumpkins. Mid-sized pie pumpkins work best for baking. Using a knife or pumpkin carving tool, vertically cut around the stem so it can be easily removed. Lay the pumpkin on its side and, using a large knife, cut it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the stringy pulp and seeds and place in separate bowl. Turn the two halves cut side down on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool. Scoop the pumpkin from the rind, place in bowl and allow to cool completely. Meanwhile, separate the pumpkin seeds from the pulp. This can be tricky, so try running them under water in a colander and massaging out the seeds from the large sections and discard the pulp.
ROAST THOSE PUMPKIN SEEDS 32 OCTOBER 2014 | THEHEALTHJOURNALS.COM
Preheat the oven to 350° degrees and cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. In a bowl, mix pumpkin seeds with olive oil and spices, tossing well to coat. Spread seeds into a single layer on cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes, stirring frequently until seeds are crispy and dry - remove from oven and allow to cool before eating.

Place seeds and leftover bits of pulp in a bowl of cold water and let sit 1 minute. Using a large slotted spoon, skim the seeds off the top and place on a paper towel lined plate to dry, picking out any last remaining bits of pulp. Season the seeds to your taste (see our suggestions below) and then bake them on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 250 degrees F for about 1 hour, tossing every 20 minutes. Place cooked pumpkin in a food processor and puree until smooth. Use this cup for cup in place of canned pumpkin in all of your favorite fall recipes. You can easily make soups, baked goods, smoothies, side dishes and more—the possibilities are endless.

FLAVOR
FOOD & BEVERAGE TRENDS TO WATCH FOR
crab
infused oils pork
after a year of food and beverage shows, I have eaten and drank enough to make some educated predictions for 2015. Collaborating with my good friend, Christopher Bifano, director of operations at Bon Appétit Management Company at Yahoo, we’re pointing you in the right direction when Yelping nearby restaurants for trendy bites or how to impress your friends with some new ingredients to work into your next dinner party. 1. For refreshing your palates, keep an eye out for mezcal, the cousin of tequila. This Mexican spirit, unlike tequila, is made from other species of the agave plant, while tequila is made only from the blue. Brilliantly, bartenders are infusing them into ice cubes with citrus juice and agave nectar. 2. Ramen is everywhere and doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon. We recommend you embrace it. Don’t have a ramen noodle shop nearby yet? Hack a gourmet ramen dish simply by adding Asian vegetables, thinly sliced meat or tofu, fish sauce and chilies; top with bean sprouts, cilantro and fresh lime. 3. With veganism on the rise, and at only 60 calories per serving, almond milk is what’s up. Add it to your smoothies, or as a substitute base for cream-based sauces like Alfredo or for a guilt-free cream of mushroom soup. By stepping up the other herbs and seasonings, almond milk is a terrific substitution for heavy cream. 4. Todd Jurich’s Bistro in Norfolk, Virginia, does a clever take on a Hampton Roads staple: crab cakes. Served with a peanut fennel slaw, a sweet pickle tartar sauce, and Old Bay chips—because it wouldn’t be a crab cake without Old

Bay—beloved dishes like these are being reinvented into higher-end dishes worthy of Instagram and the price mark-up. 5. Look for new fun flavors of infused olive oils like avocado, blood orange and jalapeño. Use them just as you would regular olive oil and pair with complementing dishes, like an Asian chicken dish with the blood orange olive oil topped with toasted cashews. Or if you’re still experimenting, there’s nothing wrong with breaking a fresh loaf of bread and using the oils for dipping. Have fun with some innovative wine pairings—a great and informal first course with friends, for sure. 6. The rise of “the other white meat”. In years past, it was bacon. I did a birthday last year which revolved around bacon—it was ridiculously sinful. However, our obsession with pork hasn’t veered completely away from the belly, as pulled-pork anything is everywhere. It’s in sliders, dumplings, spring rolls, used as a garnish, all over flatbreads and at Subway. 7. Lastly, look out for tea. Hot or cold, it’s converting coffee drinkers rapidly. I just spent $100 dollars at Teavana because I was memorized by the possibilities. It isn’t limited to a cup these days either. Use it to flavor desserts, or to add a bit of je ne sais quoi to a refreshing cocktail. If Starbucks is banking on it, I’m confident this trend is going to explode.

NATURAL HEA + Finding remedies for common ailments in your fridge or pantry +
whether you have heartburn or a headache, here’s a list of natural home remedies you may want to try before giving the doctor a call.
Aches and Pains
38 OCTOBER 2014 | THEHEALTHJOURNALS.COM
Proper hydration prevents most body aches and pains. Try drinking plenty of water or snacking on a slice of watermelon if you have headaches. “Foods that decrease inflammation include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, red wine, dark chocolate, olive oil, nuts and coffee because of the phytochemicals they contain,” says Gale Pearson, a registered dietician with Tidewater Physicians Multispecialty Group (TPMG). “Foods that increase inflammation include processed meats, high-fat meats, snack foods with trans fats and high sugar beverages.” Studies show that consuming tart cherries may aid with pain relief. Ginger and turmeric may also be used to treat minor arthritis pain. “Using curcumin, which is the active ingredient in turmeric, has been known to ease pain,” says Tina Shiver, a registered dietician with Lighten Up in Richmond, Virginia. “It’s also known to decrease infection and bring down inflammation when used topically.”
Allergies/Colds Battling a cold or seasonal allergies? Take zinc or add some parsley to your salad to boost your immune system. Zinc aids in strengthening the immune system while the antioxidants in parsley help reduce the release of histamines.
“Perilla seed, which is an herb, can help promote healthy respiratory and immune function,” says Shiver. Adds Debbi Dunn, a certified holistic health consultant with SAGE Holistic Health: “Many foods help with alleviating pain, but your best defense is whole foods from the earth, colorful foods, foods of the rainbow. White foods, like onions and cauliflower, help strengthen the immune system. Green foods—bell peppers, green apples, kale, spinach—purify with detoxification.”
Skin Ailments Have sunburn, poison ivy or an insect bite? Oatmeal may help. “Grind it in a blender or food processor and add to a cool bath and soak,” Shiver recommends. “Green tea’s catechin compounds [also] help with the damage sun has done on your skin. Its tannic acid helps to soothe sunburn pain.” White vinegar, strawberries, cucumbers and aloe can also be used to treat sunburned skin. Dab vinegar on a cotton ball and rub on the infected area or mash strawberries or cucumbers and apply to the skin for natural relief. “You can break off a leaf of aloe and apply the juice of it to your sunburned skin,” Shiver adds. Rubbing the inside of a banana peel on your skin may aid with bug bites while lemon juice may help fade sun or age spots. “Yellow foods [like] bananas, lemons and spaghetti squash fortify skin elasticity,” says Dunn. Try using honey on blemishes or using yogurt as a face mask, or even washing your face with milk to alleviate puffy eyes.

Heartburn Enzymes in papaya and pineapple may assist with minor bouts of heartburn or indigestion. “They are both helpful with digestion issues, which can decrease heartburn,” says Shiver. Drinking papaya, mango, guava, pineapple, pear or even juiced cabbage, juiced raw potatoes or buttermilk may soothe symptoms. You can also try chewing on fennel seeds, ginger, almonds or soda crackers to alleviate heartburn.

Troubles Sleeping Having trouble with your slumber? Try noshing on fish, jasmine rice, bananas or chickpeas, or downing a glass of tart cherry juice or rooibus tea. Nutrients in these foods may aid with falling asleep. “Drinking coconut water, which is full of calcium, magnesium and potassium, can also help with a more restful sleep,” says Shiver. If symptoms for any of these conditions persist or worsen, call your physician. But with any minor condition, changing your diet or using simple ingredients at home may help. “I do feel eating a healthy diet impacts our health greatly,” says Megan Cordova, a registered dietitian with Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center. “And in many ways food is our medicine. I see every day how my patients’ health improves when they change their diet— their blood sugars come down, blood pressure improves, and they lose weight.”

FITNESS
Fitfor Motherhood ❥ WRITTEN BY BRIDGIT KIN-CHARLTON
Why Work Out Now
Consistent exercise during pregnancy helps you as you prepare for childbirth and, later, as you return to prepregnancy activity levels. Benefits of exercise during pregnancy and after giving birth include: reduced incidence of back pain, boosted energy, fewer problems with constipation, increased muscle strength and a superior cardiovascular condition, which can facilitate labor and delivery and improve endurance. This prepares you for the possibility of a longer labor. It also improves your mood reducing postpartum recovery time.
40 OCTOBER 2014 | THEHEALTHJOURNALS.COM
Modes and Intensity of Exercise
The appropriate mode of exercise for you greatly depends on how fit you were before your pregnancy. If you have not been exercising, begin slowly and progress gradually, and always check with your doctor before you begin. Your body will change more in 9 months of pregnancy than a man’s will in his lifetime, and you need an exercise program to match the transformation. The biomechanics of motherhood are unique and specific. A mom-to-be will need to master strength, agility, balance, speed, acceleration, deceleration, directional change and rotation . . . all with load that increases every day. For these reasons, I like to design a “functional” fitness plan for an expectant client. “Functional training” means exercise designed to increase an individual’s ability to carry out everyday tasks— that is, movement that mimics the real-life tasks someone must carry out in an average day. In general, most functional exercises a woman can perform prior to getting pregnant can be performed during pregnancy. Here’s how things break down by trimester.
Pregnant? Congratulations! If you are curious about whether or not you’ll be able to exercise during pregnancy, there’s good news: research suggests that during pregnancy, women can continue to derive health benefits from regular exercise.
What to prepare for through each trimester
First Trimester
The goal for the first trimester is to help you ease into the tremendous shifts occurring in your body and prepare for the challenge the growing baby will put on your musculoskeletal system. Core loading, hip loading, scapular loading and pectoral loading are important.
Strengthen vital muscle groups with these workouts Add hip-opening poses, such as pigeon. Include light stretches, add thoracic mobilizations with a foam roller, and stretch the abdominal area if needed.

Second Trimester
The second trimester is when you will find that your energy level is returning and your “baby bump” is starting to show. This is the time to build strength and endurance in preparation for baby weight gain. Pay close attention to how an exercise feels on the spine, abdomen and groin. If you feel pulling or tightness, or if the exercise just doesn’t feel comfortable anymore, you should discontinue that particular exercise. Areas of importance include the core, the upper back and the arms.
Second Trimester
The third trimester is all about exercising comfortably while maintaining fitness. You will have high levels of relaxin in your system by now. For this reason, avoid quick changes of direction, especially laterally (e.g., side lunges, wood chops), because the risk of a ligament sprain increases. Late-trimester functional fitness should also address the upcoming birth event and anticipated postpartum activities of daily living (ADLs), think of how often you will be lifting your baby in and out of the crib!

Leaving It All
Behind 4 Estate Planning Tips
❥ WRITTEN BY TERESA BERGEN
brian fraser, an attorney at carrell Blanton Ferris’ Williamsburg, Virginia, office conducts seminars on estate planning. He has heard many success and failure stories regarding those who plan and those who don’t. And while most people realize estate planning is important, they put it off. After all, picturing a time when the world rolls on without us is not likely to be a favorite subject. But not making a plan leads to problems. He offers the following considerations.
Put Yourself First
Your Heirs
You probably know whom you want to leave your possessions to, but how you leave assets can be almost as important. If you’re leaving money to a child or grandchild, that money could be fully accessible when the child turns 18. “When you point that out [to [those planning their estates,” says Fraser, “They say, ‘No, that’s not what I meant to do. I never met an 18 year old who can handle that kind of money.’” You also have to be careful leaving money to family members or friends with special needs who are on Medicaid or SSI. “The assets you leave behind could bump them off benefits,” says Fraser.
Your Legacy
Planning your estate is the perfect time to revisit your values and contemplate intangibles. In addition to legal documents, many people like to write letters or make videos sharing their wisdom and perspective with
grandkids or future generations. “These are the things we find of great value in life,” Fraser says, “what we want to leave our kids even more than money, more than a house.” He recently worked with a married couple, both professors. Their children were doing well professionally and had plenty of money, so the couple decided to pass on the value of education to future generations. They opened a trust to pay for post-secondary education for their descendants. Depending on number of future grandkids and great-grandkids, and education costs, their trust might fund five or six generations.
Taxes
Estate planning is about more than taxes, but taxes are important to consider. Research the estate tax in your state, and the potential income task burden you may place on your heirs. The amount of tax exemptions varies from state to state. Virginia has no state death or estate tax, says Fraser. But you’ll still have to factor in federal taxes. The current exemption amount is 5.34 million, or 10.68 million for a married couple.
THEHEALTHJOURNALS.COM | OCTOBER 2014 43
You are at the center of estate planning: your life, possessions and the values and legacy you aim to pass on. The more you plan and clarify your wishes, the easier you make things for your heirs. “Everyone deals with some of the same issues as we age. We worry about our kids, our grandkids, how we’ll take care of ourself and our spouse, but our goals within those general ideas can be very different,” says Fraser, who recommends meeting with an estate planner to sort these things out. In addition to having a will, you should plan for potential end of life problems. “Sometimes they’re so focused on the death
aspect of planning they never consider what could happen if they became disabled,” Fraser says. Designating an agent to make decisions for you can preempt putting your loved ones through a court proceeding.
