Larger

Heavier

Something like pus coming out of nipple

Puckered, orange peel skin

Lump / thickening in breast or under arm or along

breast bone

Change in breast size, shape, or appearance

Blood-stained or clear fluid nipple discharge

Change in skin appearance of breast

Redness around nipple

Signs, Symptoms, and Treatment

Radiation for Breast Cancer Side effects (short-term)

Organ damage

Fibrotic tissue

Burn/damage lymph node

Reddening/blushing

Permanently damages lymph vessels

Sensitive to sun and pressure

Side effects (long-term)

Cardiomyopathy

Skin

Bones / tissue

Reduced function of heart and lungs

Infertility

How Exercise Affects Cancer Tx

Exercise Physiology 101

Muscles need oxygen

Blood carries oxygen and iron to tissues in the

body

Muscle contractions stimulate lymphatic flow (the

immune system)

How Exercise Prevents Cancer

Blood turbulence

↑ immune system function

↑ blood cell production

↓ cardiomyopathy

Aerobic Exercise and Cancer Patients

Reduces premature death

Reduces premature death from heart disease

Improved psychological well-being

Reduces development of high blood pressure

Reduces depression / anxiety

Improvement in weight control

Maintains bone, muscle, and joint health

Exercise Ideas

Stairs vs. elevator

Park farther away

Go down every aisle in grocery store –

whether you need to or not

Stroll the mall

Work out in water

Tai Chi, Qi Gong, or Yoga

Gardening

Anything that you enjoy

Statistics

230 different types of cancers

Breast cancer – American women

90% of cancer deaths from spreading

1 in 8 in this room will be diagnosed

10% of cancer has a genetic link

90% environmentally related

Leading cause of death in ages 1-14

10 Ways to Prevent Cancer

More fruits and vegetables

Exercise: 30 minutes x 4x/week

Sleep 8 hours a night

Reduce stress

East organic when possible

Drink more water and green tea

Avoid alcohol, sodium and excess fat

Avoid or reduce exposure to toxins

Love yourself and those around you

Communicate clearly, openly and honestly

Final Thoughts

Cancer doesn’t kill the patient, . . . .

Keep yourself healthy.

Exercise has a profound effect on the

prevention of cancer.

Children

Statistics

U.S. ranks 1st among countries

15 billion gallons sold

53 gallons per year Americans

65 gallons per year teenagers

1970-1997: 118% soft drinks

23% in milk

1999-2002: teens 3x more than milk

• Weak / fragile

• Painful

• Lose ability to stand / walk

• Lose height

• Debilitating fractures

• Sometimes fatal

Osteoporosis

Bones

• Living organs

• Hardest and most durable substance

• Support us

• Allow us to move

• Protect heart, lungs, brain

• Store essential minerals

Anatomy

Remodeling

• Continually breakdown

• Continually rebuild

• Matrix of fibers provide

strength

• Hardened with calcium,

phosphorus, minerals

Anatomy

Destruction

• Natural bone loss

• Poor eating habits

• Broken bones

• Calcium leeched from

bones

Calcium

• Muscle contraction (including heartbeat)

• Nerve conduction

• Blood pressure

• Blood clotting

• Enzyme regulation

• Deposited / withdrawn every day

Phosphorus

• Found naturally in some foods

• 85% in bones and teeth

• Assists with muscle contraction

• Kidney function

• Nerve conduction

• Maintains regular heartbeat

Phosphoric Acid

• Preservative added to soft drinks

• Sharpens flavor

• Binds to calcium in gut

• Directly influences bone mineral

density

• Affects parathyroid hormone activity

• Major contributor to osteoporosis

Prevention

• Adequate Calcium

• Adequate Vitamin D

• Exercise

• Don’t smoke

• Reduce alcohol consumption

• Reduce consumption of soft drinks

Immune System

Importance

Clear infection

Function Collect “trash”

from tissues

Exchange between

blood and cells

through capillaries

Introduction

Introduction

Origin of Lymph

Greek = “pure, clear stream”

Latin = “clear water”

Originates as blood plasma

90% water

100 different solutes

Nutrients, gases, hormones, wastes

Products of cell activity, ions, and

Proteins

Introduction

Rob says:

Protein molecules are picked up by the lymphatic

system, because they are not picked up by the

venous system.

If the lymphatic system did not pick these up,

you’d die within 24 hours.

Why?

Regulate cell function

Regulate immune system

Introduction

Plasma proteins

Albumin

Prevents blood from leaking out of vessels

Carries molecules for tissue growth and healing

Osmotic pressure

Globulin

Alpha, beta, and gamma types

Some made by immune system

Bind with hemoglobin to transport substances to fight

infection

Lymphatic Vessels

http://www.lymphnotes.com/article.php/id/151/

Lymphatic Vessels

http://pennhealth.com/health_info/animationplayer/lymph_nodes.html

Lymph Nodes

• Organs and

tissues of the

immune system

• 2 functions

• Remove

debris from

body

• Activate

immune

system

Lymphocytes

B Cells

Produce

antibodies

Lymphocytes

T Cells

Patrol for foreign

invaders

Comparison

Cardiovascular System

(Blood)

Lymphatic System

(Lymph)

Blood collects and distributes

oxygen and nutrients to tissues

Blood flows in continuous loop

Blood is pumped

Blood transports red and white

cells

Blood is visible and damage

causes visible signs: bleeding

or bruising

Blood is filtered by kidneys

Blood vessel damage or

insufficiency produces swelling

with low-protein fluid

Lymph collects and removes

waste from tissues

Lymph flows in open circuit

Lymph is not pumped

Lymph that has been filtered is

clear or milky white

Lymph is invisible and damage is

not known until swelling occurs

Lymph is filtered by lymph nodes

Lymphatic vessel damage or

insufficiency produces swelling

with protein-rich fluid

http://www.lymphnotes.com/article.php/id/15

0/

Lymphatic Drainage

“as gentle as a butterfly’s kiss”

stimulates flow from one area to another

encourages formation of new lymph

increases lymph flow

extends lymphangion wall

increases lymphangion function

Lymphatic Drainage

Improved during exercise

Lymph is mostly water, so drinking water is a

good thing

Beneficial for many ailments and diseases

Chronic swelling

Multiple sclerosis

Sinus problems

Upper respiratory problems

Erectile dysfunction

Summary

Vessels and nodes

B Cells and T Cells

Manual stimulation

Stimulates parasympathetic nervous system

Causes deep relaxation

Increases lymphatic activity

Stimulates immune system

How About You?

Protection
