Breast cancer is a disease inwhich malignant (cancer) cellsform in the tissues of the breast. Itdiffers by individual, age groupand even the kinds of cells withinthe tumors themselves.
Remember, breast cancerdoesn’t affect only women. Thisdisease can affect men as well.Hearing the words “breast cancer”doesn’t always mean an end. Itcan be the beginning of learninghow to fight, getting the facts andfinding hope.
Here at Belmont Village, wetake pride in ensuring ourresidents’ optimum level ofhealth. We are here to help you
schedule examinations with yourdoctor to help prevent!!!
Prevention Is the KeyBreast Cancer prevention
begins with various factors youcan control. For example:
• Limit Alcohol: The morealcohol you drink, the greateryour risk of developingbreast cancer. If you chooseto drink alcohol limityourself to no more than onedrink a day.
• Control your weight: Beingoverweight or obese increasesthe risk of breast cancer.
• Get plenty of physicalactivity: Being physicallyactive can help you maintaina healthy weight. for mostadults, the Department ofHealth and Human Servicesrecommends at least 150minutes a week of moderateaerobic activity in addition tostrength training exercises atleast twice a week.
• Discontinue hormonetherapy: long term hormonetherapy increases the risk ofbreast cancer.
• Avoid exposure toenvironmental pollution:Some research suggests a linkbetween breast cancer andexposure to the polycyclicaromatic hydrocarbonsfound in vehicle exhaust andair pollution.

We had great participation andfantastic feedback from the
families.We’ll see everybody in December
