Being A Young Survivor

ppproject — Sun, 23 Nov 2014 04:26:08 +0000

Through most women who get breast cancer are over age 50, young can and do get breast cancer. Five percent of all breast cancers diagnosed in the U.S. each year occur in women under 40.

A breast cancer diagnosis at a younger age can be especially shocking and challenging. At a time in life most often reserved for family and career, issues of treatment, recovery and survivorship suddenly take top priority.

However, with early detection and treatment, most of these young women can expect to live a long time. While this is good news, starting down the path of survivorship at a young age brings unique concerns.

Loss of Fertility

A main concern for young breast cancer survivors is loss of fertility. A potential side effect of chemotherapy is early menopause. The older a women is, the more likely that chemotherapy will bring on menopause. Early menopause ends a women’s chance for a natural pregnancy. This can be very difficult for women who had hoped to have a child after completing treatment.

For women who don’t go through early menopause, tamoxifen therapy is generally recommended for five years. Although tamoxifen does not effect fertility, it can shorten the window of time to have children.

Support For Young Survivors

Many young survivors feel a sense of isolation. Though they share many concerns with older survivors, younger women need to be able to share their thoughts and feelings with women who are at the same stage of life. Other young survivors are juggling similar priorities, such as raising a family and working.

As a Web professional, you can get great inspiration from a good conference session. While conferences may not bring value to all industries

The Web industry is stacked high with inspirational experts and quiet little geniuses beavering away from small home offices. A good Web conference shines a light on these clever souls and promotes professional growth and shared knowledge.

The number of conferences surrounding the Web design and development field continues to grow as new processes, techniques and other shared experiences, turned learning opportunities, are always presenting themselves throughout the industry. The problem becomes, with so many conferences that are out of reach for one reason or another, how does one catch the highlights from the conference that won’t fit into a 140 character tweet?

“As I Am” – Video Post

ppproject — Mon, 05 Aug 2013 22:53:16 +0000

Chris Dean’s heart stopped when he was two. He died but he came back. When Chris was five, his father was murdered, riddled by more than 20 bullets in a gang shootout. At age 18, Chris gained national attention when he introduced President Barack Obama at his high school graduation. Chris is an observer and philosopher who has always had a few things to say about life from his vantage point in South Memphis. He and Emmy-Award winning filmmaker Alan Spearman walked the neighborhood for eight weeks observing and recording what became the script of As I Am. This film floats through this remarkable young man’s landscape, revealing the lives that have shaped his world. Poetic and powerful imagery, captured by Spearman and cinematographer Mark Adams, combines with the young philosopher’s trenchant observations about life.
