~~Domestic Violence Awareness Month~~

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9...

Did you know every 9 seconds a woman is assaulted or beaten. Every 9 SECONDS. Not minutes, not hours...seconds. THIS IS NOT OK! Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women – more than car accidents, muggings, and rapes combined. One in 4 women will experience domestic violence during her lifetime. The same number (one in four) of GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender) individuals also experience domestic violence. Women ages 20 to 24 are at the greatest risk of becoming victims of domestic violence. Most domestic violence incidents are never reported. What's even sadder, every year, 1 in 3 women who is a victim of homicide is murdered by her current or former partner.

You may be thinking, Oh this won't happen to me, he/she could never do that to me, or even say someone is stupid for staying. Domestic violence does not discriminate. Anyone of any race, age, sexual orientation, religion or gender can be a victim – or perpetrator – of domestic violence. It can happen to people who are married, living together or who are dating. It affects people of all socioeconomic backgrounds and education levels.

• Looks through your phone frequently, checks up on your pictures, texts and outgoing calls.
• Tags you unkindly in pictures on Instagram, Tumblr, etc.
• Uses any kind of technology (such spyware or GPS in a car or on a phone) to monitor you

Domestic Violence comes in all shapes and forms. If your partner has displayed any of this behavior, I encourage you to get out. Control, power, abuse isn't love, no matter how much they insist they do. Nobody should be in a relationship where they are abused, and I hope if we all come together, we can stomp out domestic violence, Once and for all. 

If you or someone you know you suspect is a victim of domestic violence, please call this number 1-800-799-7233 or visit the National Domestic Violence website https://www.thehotline.org/

Eta Sigma Delta vows to help the cause to stop anyone from suffering from domestic violence, will you? Until next time, take care of yourself and each other.

National Bully Prevention Month

Let's Gets Real About Bullying

    Hello everyone and welcome to my very post for our Flawless Sapphire Blog. With this being my first post I wanted to talk about something that is near and dear to my heart. In the month of October there are several awareness topics and special days that we talk about, and one of those awareness topics that I will be talking about is National Bullying Prevention Month. So what is Bullying? In so many words bullying is any unwanted and harmful verbal, physical, psychological, sexual or social act committed by an individual or group, as well as any real or perceived threat or imbalance of power. Majority of the time bullying is associated with children/teens at school but it can also happen in your Adult years as well, at work or even by your next door neighbor.

Let's Go Over the Different Types of Bullying:

This is broken down into 3 different types: Verbal, Physical and Social bullying. The very first one Verbal Bullying is when someone is saying or writing mean/hateful things about you. Some things that are Verbal Bullying can include: name-calling, taunting and threats. This is the most common type of bullying especially at school. We always hear "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me", but we all know words do hurt and those words can become drilled into you head to make you believe them. 

The next one is Physical bullying. Physical Bullying can involve hurting a person’s body or possessions. This can be anything from hitting, pushing, taking someones personal things to spitting and making rude hand gestures. This type of bullying can make a child afraid to attend school in fear of being assaulted by the bully and can lead to them being a weapon to school to defend themselves from the bully. When I was middle school a girl in my class would always push me when she walked passed me and everyone would laugh. She saw nothing wrong with this because it was just a push but when it became an everyday thing it now has become an act of Physical Bullying. 

Lastly we have Social bullying, which in my opinion has become more apparent in todays' society. With all different types of social media now available it seems like kids are taking it to the Internet to further the bullying epidemic. Social bullying can be hurting someone’s reputation or relationships in social setting, like at school or the workplace. This can include telling other kids not to be friends with someone, spreading rumors and embarrassing someone in public. We all know how rumors can damage someone due to people believing in it and now this person can be excluded in social groups and becomes alone. 

Here are some statistics with bullying, as far as how much it happens and what kinds happen:

What are the Signs of someone being Bullied?

Even though there are multiple signs to show when someone is being bullied here are a few just for to look out for. 

1. Unexplainable injuries

2. Declining grades, not wanting to go to school

3. Difficulty sleeping or frequent nightmares

4. Sudden loss of friends, avoiding social situations

Please pay attention to the signs because even though we may think its just a phase it can be something more. When a child's behavior just changes out of the blue we have to investigate and see what may be wrong. It is always hard for someone to tell if they are being bullied, so try to be more considerate and put them in a safe place for them to be comfortable to tell you what is going on.

Every October some people go hard to raise awareness about breast cancer but truth is, we need to be going hard about this all year round. Why? 

Well according to the World Health Organization , breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide, it is claiming the lives of hundreds of thousands of women each year and affecting countries at all levels of modernization. Let me say that again... It is claiming the lives of HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of women each year. 

This is why this is one of the diseases that should be educated on all year round because we as women can help to strengthen our chances of surviving if detected early on and if we know what to look for. 

Cancer is a broad term for a class of diseases characterized by abnormal cells that grow and invade healthy cells in the body. Breast cancer starts in the cells of the breast as a group of cancer cells that can then invade surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to other areas of the body.

• One in eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.
• Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women. 
• Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women. 
• Each year it is estimated that over 246,660 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 will die. 
• Although breast cancer in men is rare, an estimated 2,600 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and approximately 440 will die each year. (Did you know that?)
• On average, every 2 minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer and 1 woman will die of breast cancer every 13 minutes.
• Over 2.8 million breast cancer survivors are alive in the United States today.

Breast cancer occurs when malignant tumors develop in the breast. These cells can spread by breaking away from the original tumor and entering blood vessels or lymph vessels, which branch into tissues throughout the body. When cancer cells travel to other parts of the body and begin damaging other tissues and organs, the process is called metastasis.

Now let's say what breast cancer is for those that do not know...

Breast cancer starts when cells in the breast begin to grow out of control. These cells usually form a tumor that can often be seen on an x-ray or felt as a lump. The tumor is malignant (cancerous) if the cells can grow into (invade) surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to distant areas of the body. Breast cancer occurs almost entirely in women, but men can get it, too.

Cells in nearly any part of the body can become cancer, and can spread to other areas of the body. 

Breast cancers can start from different parts of the breast. Most breast cancers begin in the ducts that carry milk to the nipple (ductal cancers). Some start in the glands that make breast milk (lobular cancers). 

Breast Cancer in Men

A breast cancer is a malignant tumor that starts from cells of the breast. A malignant tumor is a group of cancer cells that may grow into (invade) surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to distant areas of the body. Cells in nearly any part of the body can become cancer, and can spread to other areas of the body.

Many people do not realize that men have breast tissue and that they can develop breast cancer.

What are the risk factors for breast cancer?

Most women who have one or more breast cancer risk factors never develop breast cancer, while many women with breast cancer have no known risk factors (other than being a woman and growing older). Even when a woman with risk factors develops breast cancer, it’s hard to know just how much these factors might have contributed.

Some risk factors, like a person's age or race, can't be changed. Other risk factors are linked to cancer-causing factors in the environment or to personal behaviors, such as smoking, drinking, and diet. Some factors affect risk more than others, and your risk for breast cancer can change over time, due to things like aging or lifestyle.

Can breast cancer be found early?

Tests and exams used to find a disease, like cancer, in people who do not have any symptoms are called screening tests. Screening exams, such as mammograms, find cancers before they start to cause symptoms. This is called early detection. Cancers that are found early – when they’re small and haven’t spread – are easier to treat and have better outcomes

Why is it important to find breast cancer early?

The earlier breast cancer is found, the better the chances that treatment will work. Breast cancers that are found because they can be felt tend to be larger and are more likely to have already spread outside the breast. But screening exams can often find breast cancers when they are small and still confined to the breast. The size of a breast cancer and how far it has spread are some of the most important factors in predicting the outlook (prognosis) of a woman with this disease.

Most doctors feel that early detection tests for breast cancer save thousands of lives each year. Many more lives probably could be saved if even more women and their health care providers took advantage of these tests.

Here are 5 ways to help protect your breast health:

1. Watch your weight. Being overweight or obese increases breast cancer risk. This is especially true after menopause and for women who gain weight as adults. After menopause, most of your estrogen comes from fat tissue. Having more fat tissue can increase your chance of getting breast cancer by raising estrogen levels. Also, women who are overweight tend to have higher levels of insulin, another hormone. Higher insulin levels have also been linked to some cancers, including breast cancer.

If you’re already at a healthy weight, stay there. If you’re carrying extra pounds, try to lose some. There’s some evidence that losing weight may lower breast cancer risk. Losing even a small amount of weight – for example, half a pound a week – can also have other health benefits and is a good place to start.

2.Exercise regularly. Many studies have found that exercise is a breast-healthy habit. In one study from the Women’s Health Initiative, as little as 1.25 to 2.5 hours per week of brisk walking reduced a woman’s risk by 18%. Walking 10 hours a week reduced the risk a little more.

The American Cancer Society recommends getting at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity each week. (Or a combination of both.) Moderate-intensity activities are at the level of a brisk walk that makes you breathe hard. And don’t cram it all into a single workout – spread it out over the week.

3. Limit time spent sitting. Evidence is growing that sitting time increases the likelihood of developing cancer, especially for women. In an American Cancer Society study, women who spent 6 hours or more each a day sitting when not working had a 10% greater risk for invasive breast cancer compared with women who sat less than 3 hours a day, and an increased risk for other cancer types as well.

4. Limit alcohol. Research has shown that women who have 2 to 3 alcohol drinks a day have about a 20% higher risk compared to women who don’t drink at all. Women who have 1 drink a day have a very small increase in risk. Excessive drinking increases the risk of other cancer types, too.

The American Cancer Society recommends women have no more than 1 alcohol drink in a single day. A drink is 12 ounces of regular beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of hard liquor.

5. Avoid or limit hormone replacement therapy. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was used more often in the past to help control night sweats, hot flashes, and other symptoms of menopause. But researchers now know that postmenopausal women who take a combination of estrogen and progestin may be more likely to develop breast cancer. Breast cancer risk appears to return to normal within 5 years after stopping the combination of hormones.

Talk with your doctor about all the options to control your menopause symptoms, and the risks and benefits of each. If you do decide to try HRT, it is best to use it at the lowest dose that works for you and for as short a time as possible.

October is a very special month for most for a lot of different reason and one of those reasons is it's Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. For those that have lost a baby understand this hurt and how important this month is and especially October 15th.

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day is a day of remembrance for pregnancy loss and infant death, which includes, however is not limited to, miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, and the death of a newborn.

October 15 is observed annually in Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Australian States of Western Australia, New South Wales, Norway, Italy and Kenya. The day is observed with remembrance ceremonies and candle-lighting vigils, concluding with the Lights of Love International Wave of Light, a worldwide lighting of candles that encompasses and spans the globe at 7:00 p.m. (local time)

On October 25, 1988, American President Ronald Reagan designated the entire month of October 1988 as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

October 15 Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day Campaign began in 2002 as an American movement started by Robyn Bear, Lisa Brown, and Tammy Novak. Together, they petitioned the federal government, as well as the governors of each of the 50 states, in conjunction with the first observation of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day in October 15, 2002, 20 states signed proclamations recognizing the date as such. As a result of the American campaign effort, Concurrent Resolution 222, Supporting the goals and ideals of National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day was passed in the House of Representatives on September 28, 2006.

For those of us who have lost a child, this is a time to come together to remember our babies and also help raise awareness about the importance of the Safe To Sleep ® campaign to help reduce the rate of SIDS and other sleep-related deaths.

Every month over 250 of our babies die from SIDS, Stillbirth and other sleep-related issues. We can make a difference. 

Join Eta Sigma Delta in lighting a candle at 7 pm local time in remembrance of the babies lost. Let's remember them together by banding together and lighting the candle. 

I am the mother of an angel and this day is very important to me as well as to some of my sorority sisters. On this day I take time to get with my sisters and family and remember my angel in heaven. Help us spread the word and help us get the candles lit. Every single day I miss my baby and think about how she would be if she was alive and well.

Mammography Day!

National Mammography Day 

 October 18, 2019

National Mammography Day is like a cousin to Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
 They’re both committed to women’s self care but October 18 is set aside as a special day to encourage women to be proactive and make a mammography appointment. 
Mammograms are key to early breast cancer detection.
 Early detection means early treatment
 and the difference between life and death.

National Mammography Day - History

​2000

​Digital mammography approved

​The FDA, the regulating agency for mammography, approved the first full-field digital mammography system.

​1988

​Congress approved mammography funding

​Congress passed legislation providing funding for annual mammography screening as a Medicare benefit.

​1971

​Xeromammography introduced for commercial use

​Xeromammography was commercially introduced as a method of providing better image quality of the chest wall.

​1956

​Houston radiologist improved mammography imagery

​Robert Egan, a Houston-based radiologist, introduced specialized film for mammograms resulting in better imagery and details.

​1913

​German doctor detected breast cancer with x-ray machine

​Albert Solomon, a surgeon in Berlin, used an x-ray machine to see breast cancer in 3,000 mastectomy samples.

How to Observe National Mammography Day

1. Make your mammogram appointment, duh!

   If you've been procrastinating out of fear (or simply denial that you actually ARE 40), make that appointment on October 19 because that mammography just could save your life. Keep in mind that out of every 1,000 women who get screened, about 100 are asked to do another mammography or allow ultra sound imagery. Twenty women will be referred for a biopsy and only five are diagnosed with breast cancer. Even with an abnormal mammogram, there may not be cancer detected so take the plunge and make your appointment on National Mammography Day.

2. Do a breast self-exam

   Now's the time to renew your commitment to do monthly breast self-exams. Call your doctor or nurse practitioner for an appointment to show you the correct way to do one. You can also do an online search for pictures or infographics that can walk you through the process. After all, it's your body — show it some love.

3. Wear some pink

   Pink is the official color of breast cancer awareness including observing National Mammography Day. Proudly wear your pink ribbon or wrap a tree with a pink ribbon in honor of a friend or loved one. It may seem like a little thing, but for breast cancer survivors, it means they're not alone in their struggle.

5 Things You May Not Know About Breast Cancer

1. Know your risk factors

   ​​Did you know that you may have a higher breast cancer risk if you have dense breasts, are post-menopausal, started your period before age 12, started your menopause after 55, never had a baby or had your first child after 30 and you didn't breastfeed?

2. ​Mammograms have some limitations

   ​If you have dense breast tissue, a mammogram may have trouble detecting breast cancer.

3. ​Know what mammograms really do

   ​Mammograms are important annually because they detect — but do not prevent breast cancer.

4. 3D mammograms see through dense breasts

   ​3D mammography or tomosynthesis are the most modern screening tool for breast cancer detention because you can see better images of dense breast tissue than with traditional machines.

5. ​You can get screened with breast implants

   ​If you have breast implants, it's imperative that you get regular mammograms to ensure the health of your breasts.

A. Mammograms are only once A year.

B.       

Mammograms don't require a prescription

C.

Mammograms are extremely effective

If you missed any part of the homecoming week then you sure did miss out. Each day took us to a different time era ESD style! ESD 6th Annual Homecoming Week was off the chain! Not only was it fun but it was also for a serious cause.... Sickle Cell Anemia Disease. This week we have raised a total of $45,900 Ls for Sickle Cell. If you donated give a pat on the back to yourself because you have made a impact.

Sickle-Cell Anemia is a disease that occurs when the red blood cells in the body are shaped like crescents, which can block blood flow in the blood vessels of the limbs and organs. Blocked blood flow can cause pain and organ damage and also raises the risk for infection.

It is estimated that between 90 to 100,000 Americans are living with Sickle-Cell Anemia, many of them people of color!

Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that affects red blood cells. People with sickle cell disease have red blood cells that contain mostly hemoglobin* S, an abnormal type of hemoglobin. Sometimes these red blood cells become sickle-shaped (crescent shaped) and have difficulty passing through small blood vessels.

When sickle-shaped cells block small blood vessels, less blood can each that part of the body. Tissue that does not receive a normal blood flow eventually becomes damaged. This is what causes the complications of sickle cell disease. There is currently no universal cure for sickle cell disease.

Hemoglobin is the main substance of the red blood cell. It helps red blood cells carry oxygen from the air in our lungs to all parts of the body. Normal red blood cells contain hemoglobin A. Hemoglobin S and hemoglobin C are abnormal types of hemoglobin. Normal red blood cells are soft and round and can squeeze through tiny blood tubes (vessels). Normally, red blood cells live for about 120 days before new ones replace them.

People with sickle cell conditions make a different form of hemoglobin A called hemoglobin S (S stands for sickle). Red blood cells containing mostly hemoglobin S do not live as long as normal red blood cells (normally about 16 days). They also become stiff, distorted in shape and have difficulty passing through the body’s small blood vessels. When sickle-shaped cells block small blood vessels, less blood can reach that part of the body. Tissue that does not receive a normal blood flow eventually becomes damaged. This is what causes the complications of sickle cell disease.
