How AMAZING if HPV vaccine reduces future BC diagnoses!
Professor James Lawson from University of NSW (who has been researching causes of Breast Cancer for 30 years) believes that some BCs may even be caused by the HPV virus - and hopes to identify whether women who contract HPV are then at a higher risk of developing breast cancer later on in life! For over 30 years Professor James Lawson and his local and international colleagues have searched for the causes of breast cancer. By 2021 they had found some of the answers - you can read about his research here: https://onlinenetwork.bcna.org.au/discussion/25105/review-new-book-called-catching-breast-cancer-by-james-lawson-eminent-breast-cancer-researcher#latest (HPV has already been proven to cause Cervical Cancer - with a free vaccination [Gardasil ® 9] now available to young teenage girls and others up to age 26!) https://www.health.gov.au/topics/immunisation/vaccines/hpv-human-papillomavirus-vaccine With an 80% vaccination rate currently amongst women in Australia - data on BC occurrence in the next 20-50 years 'should fall' if this is the case! Only time will tell. https://oncologynews.com.au/latest-news/hpv-may-lead-to-breast-cancer/ Remember - It is not 'that' long since Stomach Ulcers (caused by Heliobactor Pylori bacteria, not stress or poor diet as once thought), are now totally curable when diagnosed, being treated with a series of specific antibiotics. Following on from 'THAT' theory - there is a similar theory re the cause of dementia too. Interesting - one researcher thinks Dementia may be caused by an autoimmune disease! There has long been the theory that many diseases may be caused by autoimmune/bacterial infections .... rather than just by bad luck. (The association between immune response against mycobacterial infections and autoimmune disease has long been suspected, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Type 1 diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis (MS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), microscopic polyangiitis, and sarcoidosis (SA). Relatively recently Stiff-Person Syndrome, felt to be autoimmune, and which causes rigidity and spasms in the trunk and limbs, has been added to this list as an autoimmune and neurological disorder.) https://www.j-alz.com/editors-blog/posts/does-alzheimers-even-come-close-being-autoimmune-disease (This pretty well mimics research from an Australian Doctor, Professor James Lawson (main article) who believes that some forms of Breast Cancer may be 'caught' from a bacterial infection .... ) How AMAZING if a vaccine could be developed to prevent these diseases from even starting (just as Gardisil9 now prevents Cervical Cancer!) How many other cancers are there, out there, that 'may' be prevented by a vaccine?
Angiosarcoma (my purple spot)
Hi Everyone, I’m writing this in the hope that it will help others in being alert to this disease which is so rare (US figures state 1 in a million people get this). I had radiation and a lumpectomy in 2016 for breast cancer and got lymphodema in that left breast, this seems to be what most Angiosarcoma cases had previously. I have done my own research with every medical person I meet and only 1 nurse has seen it. Not my top Oncologist, not my Doctor and most importantly not the Emergency department at the hospital I presented to by the time the thing was sticking out of my breast like a purple raspberry. At the emergency they did a scan and sent me home saying nothing was wrong. A few weeks later I asked my Doctor about it and she sent me to see an Oncologist who ordered a scan and a biopsy. My breast was full of Angiosarcoma which is very agressive. The purple growth outside my breast had doubled in 2 months. I would be dead now if I had accepted that first diagnosis. If you ever get something on your breast the is reddish purple please demand a biopsy. It could save your life. I’ve since had a double mastectomy (the other breast by my own request). As it’s now mid April and I’m feeling great no further treatment is planned but I am waiting to see a Sarcoma specialist for a chat. I will probably have to be scanned in the future as it is said to be aggressive. My faith in God and a herbal tea that I took when I had breast cancer is getting me through at present. Lots more of love Jan
