Breast Cancer Affects Everyone

Breast cancer is not a disease anyone will be able to turn a blind eye to. Everyone needs to be concerned with breast cancer simply because it will affect almost everyone’s life in one way or another. Even if you are not a woman, you most certainly care about one. There are countless mothers, sisters, daughters, wives, teachers, business partners and grandmothers out there who may have to face this disease. Some may ask why they should be concerned with breast cancer if it doesn’t affect them. The simple answer is because it will someday.

As far as the chances of someone you love being diagnosed with the disease, you may be surprised to know that 70% of those diagnosed have no risk factors. It can literally sneak up on any woman you may love or care for. There are almost 200,000 women newly diagnosed each year. Of those, 40,000 will die from it.

The death rate is declining; but breast cancer is the second most common form of cancer amongst women. For Hispanic women in particular, it is the number on cause of cancer death. Still for other ethnic groups, it is the second most common cause of cancer death. If you love a woman, respect a woman or otherwise rely on a woman, this is reason enough to be concerned. Just knowing a woman with breast cancer is reason enough to be concerned with her care and diagnosis, but sometimes it hits home a little harder. Having a woman in the house get that dreaded diagnosis takes an enormous emotional toll on the entire household. The sheer facts and of treatment and recovery are enough to scare anyone who knows the patient. The entire household will be thrown into total upheaval with the mom or wife undergoing treatment. For most homes, the woman is the cornerstone, the foundation, the main source of support and continuity. While the man and woman may share bread winning roles and household responsibilities, the woman still typically keeps the wheels of the household greased and running. Having her have to face her own mortality is heartbreaking enough. Having to face a family life without her can be terrifying. The emotions, scheduling, and wanting to maintain a somewhat normal family life can be more work than some can handle. The strain on a marriage also goes much deeper as intimacy will forever be changed when the woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. Children can also have a difficult time dealing with the news and outlook for their mom. Some who are older and can understand more of the consequences may help out more and be a viable support system. However, others may have pent up anger brew over and result in acting out. This acting out and self destructive behavior will also add to the stress already present from a breast cancer diagnoses.

The main job of anyone who is faced with having to be there for a loved one with breast cancer is to be a support system. Since you will never have advanced warning, just a moment in time when all was normal then the word ‘cancer’ sends shockwaves through your family dynamics, you will have a limited time to pick yourself up and be there for the patient. Unfortunately, some breast cancer patients still take on the role of caregiver after they are diagnosed. The diagnosis so rattles their loved ones they find themselves consoling and reassuring everyone that they will be fine. This should not be their job. It should be the responsibility of the loved ones to come together and support the woman in their lives. Coming together to be a strong support system can make a huge difference in how a woman will respond to treatment.

While advances in breast cancer treatment are astounding and helping each new woman diagnosed see a light at the end of the tunnel, it is still a devastating illness with life long scars inside and out. A woman is forever changed by the diagnosis. The body of the woman you love or know will also be forever changed. All of these circumstances and loss of control over their own health and destiny can make breast cancer a very difficult chapter in the life of any woman. Regardless of where you come from, your education level, the size of your paycheck, the faith you practice, age or color of your skin, breast cancer can be part of your reality before you know what hit you. For any person out there who has even just one woman in their life they need our love. Breast caner should be a concern for everyone.

There Are Many Reasons to Invest in and Buy Magazines

Magazines have been around forever. Since the 1700’s when they first become a part of the American experience, magazines have presented a unique and distinct point of view. Magazines were once as revered as books. They were treasured literature with engaging perspectives on society. The temperament of the nation was expressed in magazines. Some of our most vivid memories can be directly tied to the magazines we grew up looking at. Certain covers, stories and issues are ingrained into our collective experiences. Recently tools such as the internet and other factors have led to a bit of a decline in readership. Magazines of all types continue to provide a valuable outlet for our opinions and information. They will also always be regarded as valuable tools to learn from. They will simply never be irrelevant.

Specialty magazines will always provide a service and fill a niche. They will always be read and universally commented on. New magazines are always cropping up and finding a way to improve their product. One type of magazine which is a valuable tool to its target audience is the business magazine. Business magazines give entrepreneurs, buyers, and suppliers a resource to connect with. A really great business magazine will offer insight for all areas of business. You can learn from and relish in the stories of how other businesses succeeded by reading their profile in a business magazine. If you own a business, want to own a business or work for a large corporation, getting a business magazine subscription is recommended. You will find the most current information on world markets, economic indicators, critiques of business ventures and just about any financial advice you may ever need. Getting a business magazine which is reflective of the industry you are a part of can give you a leg up on the competition. You can be informed of the latest technology and innovations that may help your business. You can also find how to expand your business or get in touch with like minded business professionals. A business magazine subscription can be a valuable networking tool to help you stay in the loop in your industry. A business magazine might also cover highlights of innovative and successful professionals who are making a name in the business world. These professional profiles can be a source of inspiration to help you feel more capable. You will also be able to stay abreast of any business news which may alter your industry or lead to upheaval. Staying ahead of the game by keeping up with business magazines can be what you need to feel better prepared.

Other magazine niches which provide information more for escapism rather than tools to better your business, would be the entertainment magazine business. There are plenty of entertainment magazines to choose from. They are fun way to relax at the end of the day. Entertainment magazines allow you that rare chance to slip away and focus on others for a while. You can read entertainment magazines to follow your favorite stars and other entertainment industry news. You can read about upcoming movies and music news. Entertainment magazines also exist outside the realm of movies and music. You can find a magazine geared toward any hobby imaginable.

Fashion magazines also reach a target audience and make a great investment. They provide information and tips for a unique niche. You can rely on fashion magazines to update audiences on beauty tips, styles and trends. You can also use these magazines to keep tabs on the latest designers and news of upcoming collections. The visuals in fashion magazines are striking and can stand alone as works of art. They can convey a sense of glamor and have been known to catapult certain models into the world of super stardom. Fashion magazine covers can make a supermodel a household name. The fashion industry relies heavily on fashion magazines and the business they generate for its survival and relevancy.

Aside from business, entertainment, and fashion, the magazine business as a whole continues to adapt and improve. While cycles indicate advertising revenue can drop drastically, the business stays alive. Some magazines die out fast while others have been around for generations. A magazines ability to constantly appeal to a new audience while staying true to their message enough to retain the audience they have always had is the trick to staying alive. Despite changes in technology, the magazine industry continues to keep us engaged, informed and educated just as any form of media should.
