HubMob Weekly Topic: Breast Cancer Awareness

1. 83

   Princessaposted 13 years ago

   Hello, thank you to all the HubMobsters who took part in last week's Best gifts HubMob, we had 88 hubs with lots of original ideas for gift giving during the upcoming holidays.  We had some new HubMobsters joining the mob and some old ones who came back specially for last week's topic.  It has been a fun week full of surprises. 
   
   
   
   
   Here we go now, starting a new week in pink, to support October's Breast Cancer Awareness Month.   All around the world, October is dedicated to raising awareness about breast cancer, a disease that can be cured when spotted in time. 
   
   Did you know that the best way to find breast cancer early is with a mammogram?  But in some countries mammograms are not covered by the health services and some private insurance companies refuse to cover screening for breast cancer!
   
   This week, we are going to join the pink ranks all over the world and we are going to be raising awareness about breast cancer. 
   
   Some ideas for a Hub on Breast Cancer awareness are
   
   What is breast cancer
   How common is breast cancer
   Cancer hospitals
   Recipes for breast cancer patients (during and after treatment)
   Side effects of cancer treatment
   Male breast cancer
   Mammography centres in your area
   Where to find low cost or free mammograms
   Early detection
   signs and symptoms
   What should women expect when they have a mammogram
   Preventing breast cancer
   Treatments
   Risk factors for breast cancer
   Fundraising events in your area
   
   To join this week's HubMob please follow the steps below:
   
   1. START YOUR HUB CLICKING THIS LINK.  Choose the "Answer the Request" green button.  Choose the "MAKE A HUB ABOUT IT" option. 
   
   2. Choose a relevant title for your Hub to get a good ranking in the search engines, AVOID starting your title with "Weekly HubMob"
   
   3. Include the HubMob RSS Feed in your hub: http://hubpages.com/question/77658/hubm … ew&rss
   
   4. Add one of the HubMob graphics  You can use the special graphic at the start of this thread http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv19 … ancerF.png   which was created for the topic by  wyanjen, or the traditional HubMob graphic below.
   
   
   5. After you publish your HubMob Hub, come back to the forum and post a link to your hub with a brief description of what you wrote about and why.  Take advantage of the free publicity!
   
   Have fun supporting a good cause!

      I started this hub before I knew it was the HubMob weekly topic, because I ran across the information and thought it should be shared. Risk of breast cancer can be lowered for even those who have a family history.

      You did a very good job for a first HubMob hub.  Everything is correct:
      1) you started your hub from the answer the request link
      2) you added the hubMob graphic and the RSS feed
      3) you wrote interesting content
      4) you came back to the forum to post a link to your hub.

       I definitely think it's appropriate. Every time I write about breast cancer I like to mention that I am a survivor, I think it give people hope to hear of so many who have survived the disease.
       
       Sadly, we heard about the death of a woman who I worked with until January. She had breast cancer but it spread. Somehow when someone died from cancer in October it seems worse.

          Princessa will announce a new topic Monday, usually by mid-morning US Pacific/California time.  This "question" will not close.  You can continue publishing on this topic.  Just shoot me an email and I will add your hub/s to the roundup.

    I wrote this one in honor of my grandmother who survived breast cancer, but sadly died of ovarian cancer in 1963.

    I wrote it on ways to raise money in hopes of inspiring people to raise money for the numerous charities that help women (and men) with breast cancer.

    I am trying to come up with a hub for this week's topic.  I have not done my hubmob hub yet but I m trying to support the topic as much as I can.

       Thanks Anath!
       
       I always refer back to Princessa’s original list of suggestions for inspiration.  Here are a few more ideas: 
       
       -Is the approach to treatment for male breast cancer different than the treatment of females?
       -Do breast implants make the detection of breast cancer more difficult?
       -Are there any statistical differences for breast cancer incidence with breast size?
       -Are experts fearful that girls with early onset puberty, thought to be related to hormones in our food supply, will be at higher risk for breast cancer?
       -Morbidity and mortality statistics for lumpectomy vs mastectomy? 
       -When is the best time to have reconstruction? 
       -What reconstruction options are lost with radiation therapy?
       -What are the most prevalent reconstruction procedures?
       -Lymphedema after breast cancer.
       -Misconceptions about breast cancer or reconstruction.
       -Incidence of breast cancer in women under 25.
       -Differences with treatment approach with BRCA.
       -Countries/races with lowest incidence of breast cancer and why might this be true. 
       -Controversial or new breast cancer management.
       -Alternative or natural medicine approaches to prevention.
       -Alternative or natural medicine approaches for breast cancer.
       -Alternative or complimentary medicine cancer centers.

    I wrote a poem about breast cancer that won a small award.
    
    Not enough in it to create a hub though.

       Joe B you are not in the HubMob RSS feed.  You have to start your hub clicking the link in Step #1 of Princessa's initial post.  Then add one or both of the HubMob graphics and the RSS capsule.  Here's step by step with photos:

    Range of Motion Exercises After Mastectomy
    
    http://hubpages.com/hub/Range-of-Motion … Mastectomy
    
    Many women require therapy for shoulder range of motion exercises after mastectomy.  I prescribe pendulum, pulley, cane, wall walk, and table slide exercises for my clients.  Exercises help stretch the soft tissues to regain shoulder movement, without stressing incision scars.
