About Us

Understanding Your Diagnosis

As a leading resource for breast cancer patients, Sibel Blau is committed to providing comprehensive information for individuals who have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. Our team at Carol Milgard Breast Center understands the importance of accurate knowledge and support during this challenging time. We aim to help you navigate through the journey from diagnosis to recovery with confidence.

Identifying Symptoms

Recognition of early warning signs is crucial in detecting and treating breast cancer. Common symptoms include:

  • Formation of a new lump in the breast or armpit
  • Changes in breast size or shape
  • Development of breast pain or tenderness
  • Unexplained swelling or redness
  • Nipple discharge or inverted nipple

Diagnostic Procedures

After experiencing symptoms or receiving an abnormal mammogram result, your healthcare provider may recommend additional diagnostic procedures to confirm the diagnosis. These may include:

  • Diagnostic mammography
  • Ultrasound imaging
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  • Biopsy (fine needle aspiration or core needle biopsy)

Understanding Breast Cancer Stages

Breast cancer staging helps determine the extent of cancer spread in the body. It assists in treatment planning and prognosis. The stages include:

  1. Stage 0: Non-invasive breast cancer
  2. Stage I: Early-stage invasive breast cancer
  3. Stage II: Locally advanced breast cancer
  4. Stage III: Regional spread of breast cancer
  5. Stage IV: Metastatic or advanced breast cancer

Treatment Options

Sibel Blau offers a range of treatment options tailored to meet individual needs. Our multidisciplinary team of experts may recommend:

  • Surgery (lumpectomy or mastectomy)
  • Radiation therapy
  • Chemotherapy
  • Hormone therapy
  • Targeted therapy

Support and Resources

We understand that facing a breast cancer diagnosis can be physically and emotionally challenging. At Carol Milgard Breast Center, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive support and resources. Our range of support services includes:

  • Support groups for patients and caregivers
  • Psychosocial counseling
  • Nutritional guidance
  • Complementary therapies (acupuncture, massage)
  • Education and survivorship programs

Myths and Realities

Dispelling myths surrounding breast cancer is crucial for well-informed decision making. Some common myths and corresponding realities include:

Myth: Breast cancer affects only older women.

Reality: Breast cancer can affect individuals of any age, including young women.

Myth: A family history of breast cancer guarantees personal risk.

Reality: The majority of women diagnosed with breast cancer do not have a family history of the disease.

Myth: Wearing underwire bras increases the risk of breast cancer.

Reality: There is no scientific evidence to support this claim. Wearing any type of bra does not cause breast cancer.

Myth: A breast lump always indicates cancer.

Reality: Many breast lumps are benign and not cancerous. Still, it is essential to have them checked by a healthcare professional.

Sibel Blau is here to guide you through your breast cancer journey by providing trusted information, personalized care, and a supportive environment. Our team is dedicated to empowering patients with the knowledge and resources necessary for making informed decisions about their healthcare.
