Outline
I. Intro
a. What do Sheryl Crow, Olivia Newton John, Dame Maggie Smith, and my mother all have in common? They were all diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in their life.
b. Today, I’m going to talk to you about breast cancer information and awareness.
c. There is a large amount of men and women who are diagnosed with breast cancer every day, but they usually don’t know how it forms and the different ways it is treated. Breast cancer is a very serious disease that should not be taken lightly. Even if you yourself do not have breast cancer, chances are you know someone who, unfortunately, has it or will develop it.
d. During my speech, I will discuss:
Symptoms and diagnosis
Treatment and side effects
Ways to lower risks
II. Symptoms and diagnosis
a. Breastcancer.org (2013): Breast cancer symptoms vary. Breast cancer has no obvious symptoms at all until tumors are formed. Webmd.com (2013) explains, when a tumor develops, signs of early stages of breast cancer can include a lump in the breast or underarm, swelling in the armpit, pain or tenderness in the breast, and any change in the size, contour, texture or temperature of the breast
b. B) Cancer.org (2012) explains the different types of testing and diagnosis for breast cancer. Mammogram: Screening test. A machine which takes an x-ray of the breast that shows any tumors or lumps on the breast. Two types of mammogram include screening and diagnosis mammogram.
Biopsy: Diagnostic test. A small operation done to remove tissue from the area of concern in the body. (20% turn out to have breast cancer)
Bone Scan: Monitoring test. An imaging test used to determine whether breast cancer has traveled to the bones. Done during and after treatment.
Pathology report: Very important, it has information needed to make the best decision on the course of action for your particular disease.
III. Treatment and side effects
a. Treatments
Usually surgery is first
