Cancer Horoscope for week of January 18, 2007

Let me clarify your situation for you, Cancerian. Up until a short time ago, you'd been wandering through halls of mirrors, metaphorically speaking. Then you spied a hammer on the floor, got seized by a rash impulse, and proceeded to smash a lot of glass--again, metaphorically speaking. That was the first step to finding your way out of the labyrinth. Now you're ready for the next step: actually escaping. As you head out, I advise you to be careful that you don't cut yourself on all the shards. Liberation is near enough; there's no need to rush. Walk calmly and carefully towards the sound of the heartbeat you hear in the distance, metaphorically speaking.

You can still listen to my long-range, in-depth explorations of your destiny in 2007. Each report in the three-part series is about 6-8 minutes long. A new short-range forecast for this week is also available.

Here's the catch about pronoia: Life always gives you exactly what you need, exactly when you need it, but it doesn't necessarily give you exactly what you want, exactly when you want it. Talk about the differences between what you want and what you need.

uterine cancer symptom

What is the uterus?

The uterus, also called the womb, is a hollow, pear-shaped organ located in a woman's lower abdomen, between the bladder and the rectum.

What are parts of the uterus?

cervix - the narrow, lower portion of the uterus

corpus - the broader, upper part of the uterus

o myometrium - the outer layer of the corpus; the muscle that expands during pregnancy to hold the growing fetus

endometrium - the inner lining of the uterus

What is uterine cancer?

Cancers that occur in each part of the uterus have their own names, such as cervical cancer or endometrial cancer, but are sometimes broadly defined as uterine cancer because the structure is part of the uterus. Cancer of the uterus spreads through the bloodstream or lymphatic system, and is the most common cancer of the female reproductive tract.

What are non-cancerous conditions of the uterus?

Some conditions in the uterus, caused by abnormal, rapid, and uncontrolled division of cells, are not cancer. Three of these benign conditions include:

Fibroid tumors are common benign tumors of the uterine muscle that do not develop into cancer. Fibroid tumors of the uterus are very often found in women in their forties. And, although single fibroid tumors do occur, multiple tumors are more common.

Symptoms of fibroid tumors, which depend on size and location, include irregular bleeding, vaginal discharge, and frequent urination. For fibroids that press against nearby organs and cause pain, surgery may be necessary. Many times, however, fibroids do not cause symptoms and do not need to be treated. After menstrual periods cease, fibroid tumors may become smaller and may disappear altogether.

Endometriosis is a benign condition of the uterus that is common among women in their thirties and forties, especially women who have never been pregnant. Tissue that looks and acts like endometrial tissue begins to grow in unusual places, such as on the surface of the ovaries, on the outside of the uterus, and in other tissues in the abdomen.

Hyperplasia is an increase in the number of normal cells lining the uterus. Although it is not cancer, it may develop into cancer in some women. The most common symptoms are heavy menstrual periods, bleeding between periods, and bleeding after menopause.

What are risk factors for uterine cancer?

The following have been suggested as risk factors for uterine cancer:

age 50 or over

history of endometrial hyperplasia

estrogen replacement therapy (ERT)

being overweight

diabetes

hypertension (high blood pressure)

history of other cancers

history of taking tamoxifen for breast cancer treatment or prevention

Caucasian women

What are the symptoms of uterine cancer?

According to the National Cancer Institute, abnormal bleeding after menopause is the most common symptom of cancer of the uterus. Other symptoms, according to the National Cancer Institute, may include:

unusual vaginal bleeding or discharge

difficult or painful urination

pain during sexual intercourse

pain in the pelvic area Cancer of the uterus often does not occur before menopause. It usually occurs around the time menopause begins. The occasional reappearance of bleeding should not be considered simply part of menopause. It should always be checked by a physician.

The creation of the ULTRAVIOLET clothing range came about from first hand experience of cancer in the close knit family of Marilyn Seyb. The range aims to increase awareness of being safe in the sun while being covered with long sleeved garments and trousers that optimise the effect of layering:-

Visit a Kimberleys store to view the fantastic range.

As a result of this association, Kimberleys are also contributing a significant annual donation to the Cancer Society for at least the next three years.

The Cancer Society wishes to thank Marilyn and John for their foresight and contribution.

Cancer will affect one in every three New Zealanders at some stage du ring their lives.

The Cancer Society Auckland is here to provide support to cancer patients and their families, to prevent the onset of cancer, and to carry out scientific research into cancer.



We rely solely on the generosity of the public of Auckland and Northland for financial and volunteer support in order to provide these services. We do not accept direct Government funding as we do not wish to be compromised in any advocacy or lobbying we undertake.

We have been serving the communities of Auckland and Northland for 75 years and intend to go on meeting the needs of cancer patients and their families.

AWARDS TO OUR RESEARCHERS

Congratulations to Professor Bruce Baguley on being awarded the 2006 Sir Charles Hercus Medal of the Royal Society of New Zealand. This is awarded biennially in rotation in three different areas of biomedical and health sciences. Professor Baguley receives the 2006 medal for his contribution towards the advancement of the molecular and cellular sciences and technologies in New Zealand.

Professor Bill Denny is the 2006 recipient of the Adrien Albert award of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute. This is the premier award of the Biomolecular Chemistry Division, and is given for “sustained, outstanding research in any field related to biomolecular chemistry and conducted wholly, or largely, within Australia and New Zealand”.

The Peter Gluckman Medal for 2006 has been jointly awarded to Professor Bruce Baguley and Professor Bill Denny. The award is presented to acknowledge the enormous dedication these researchers share and the subsequent contributions both have made in the field of cancer research and drug development. The award is intended to recognise distinguished contributions of current and former staff or students of the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences. Fittingly, it has become the Faculty’s premier acknowledgement of research endeavours and just as fittingly in 2006, it is being shared. by two world class research scientists.
