Breast cancer awareness month at CNMCNM hosts mobile mammograms at Main Campus

There will be mammograms provided by Assured Imaging from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Oct. 10 at CNM’s Annual Employee and Wellness Fair in front of Smith Brasher Hall in the Main Campus, said Marti Brittenham, director of the Student Health Center at CNM.

The United Stated Public Health Service (USPHS) has recommended that health ser-vices providers not do breast exams unless somebody is feeling a lump, she said.

“I think it is important for women to check their breasts if for no other reason than to reas-sure themselves that there is nothing wrong,” she said.

It is important for women to know what is normal because otherwise they might find something and then proceed to worry about it even if it is not cancer, she said.

If a person already has been told about something and know what is normal and how it should feel it makes it easier to know what is not normal and what should be checked out, she said.

“I teach breast exams when I do a Gynecological exam or a well woman exam, I teach women to do their own breast exams and I teach them what is normal and what is not,” Brittenham said.

A well woman exam is a periodical exam that often includes a pelvic exam and a Pap smear exam, she said.

It empowers women to know how to do their own breast exams, she said.

She has seen a number of her patients find their own breast cancer after a normal mam-mogram, she said.

“I found my own breast cancer six months after a normal mammogram,” Brittenham said.

When it is time to get mammograms it is important for women to make the appointment and get it done, she said.

“Most breast cancers happen to women over 40 because the breast tissue changes through-out a woman’s lifetime, and that’s why after age 40 is when mammograms are typically done,” Brittenham said.

At a younger age the breasts are not as fatty, they have more support tissue, she said.

The mammogram is not as good at picking up a breast lump in a young woman because of the structural tissue that’s there, she said.

For younger people ultrasounds are done and they are more likely to find a lump, she said.

Breast cancer is a group of cancerous cells in one or both breasts, that used to be normal breast tissue, Brittenham said.

“There is no statistical difference in length of life post diagnosis, whether you do a mas-tectomy or a lumpectomy with radiation and chemotherapy,” she said.

Some women will opt for breast sparing surgery, other women will opt for a mastec-tomy, and there is a variety of different radia-tion and chemotherapy regiments that are offered, she said.

The Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection (BCC) program can potentially help women all through their diagnosis and treat-ment, Brittenham said.

“It is a nationwide program, through the Center for Disease Control that funds health departments to do mammograms and pap smears on women who probably would not get them otherwise, and it’s been a very good thing for the women of New Mexico,” she said.

A pap smear exam is the examination of the external genitalia, the vagina, the cervix, the uterus and the ovaries, she said.

The program has funds to be able to take care of women who have abnormal pap smears or abnormal mammograms to get them to the appropriate facilities and have them further diagnosed, she said.

If they need treatment for cancer it helps with that financially or it gets the women on a special insurance program for those in need of treatment for breast cancer, she said.

Some of the programs in place are public health department clinics, some private doctor offices and other low-income clinics, she said.

“I do pap smears and breast exams through this program and if the woman is over 30 or over 40 we can start getting her mammo-grams on the regular, and that is done for free,” Brittenham said.

The following information was provided by the American Cancer Society:

What are the key statistics about breast cancer?Breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women, except for skin cancers. About 1 in 8 (12%) women in the US will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime.The American Cancer Society’s estimates for breast cancer in the United States for 2014 are:

•About 232,670 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women.•About 62,570 new cases of carcinoma in situ (CIS) will be diagnosed (CIS is non-invasive and is the earliest form of breast cancer).•About 40,000 women will die from breast cancer•Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, exceeded only by lung cancer. The chance that breast cancer will be responsible for a woman’s death is about 1 in 36 (about 3%). Death rates from breast cancer have been declining since about 1989, with larger decreases in women younger than 50. These decreases are believed to be the result of earlier detection through screening and increased awareness, as well as improved treatment.•At this time there are more than 2.8 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. (This includes women still being treated and those who have completed treatment.)

Editorial cartoon by Melissa Shepard

This is something we all know we should not do but I still see so many people get in their car and pick up their phone then never put it down while they are driving. A lot of them are heading in the same direction I am which is usually to school at CNM or home after class. Driving while on their phone or texting. We can never say enough about this until a tragedy happens. If we can stop one person from doing this very bad habit of being on their phone or texting while driving we might be able to save someone from losing a life including their own. Once the tragedy happens you cannot turn back time. How difficult is it to just put the phone down in your purse, under the seat or in the back seat and just turn on some good music and focus on driving safely to school, work, or taking your kids to school. Multi-tasking was never meant to be done while driving. I hope when people read this someone will say to themselves, “You are right I need to put my phone away while driving before something very bad happens to me or to someone I might hit and injure or cause death

too just because I was using my phone while driving and that was so much more important”. A safe driver should have steps to follow. How hard is it for someone to put the phone away before putting the key in the ignition? Thank you for thinking twice before operating a vehicle and using a phone at the same time. It is just not worth the loss of life. It is time to Wake Up! Habits can always be changed for the better. Thank you for listening.

Before you start your vehicle, pause all text/email/social media. Arrive to your destination safely. #itcanwait

The new Tourism Club at CNM is just at its inception with the members having just had their orientation the last week of September, said Juan Flores, president of the Tourism Club.

In meetings they talk about new projects for the club and what they want to do to try and get the most out of the events that they par-ticipate in all while thinking or ways to get the word out about the club, he said.

“It is really important that we contribute to the community because the community is an essential part of tourism and hospitality”, he said.

The most recent event the club participated in was at the Santa Ana Golf Course were busi-ness leaders in the Hospitality and Tourism field held a golf tournament, he said.

Management and other leading members of the industry were all present to partake in this e event which allowed members of the club opportunities to network and meet their poten-tial bosses in the fields they study, he said.

“We were able to help them set up the tour-nament and we were able to have some fun by monitoring the players and interacting with the various groups that passed through and it was a really good time,” Flores said.

At this event, the members of the club were able to get first hand exchange and input from people in the business and get the word out about who they were, Flores said.

Monique Martinez, Secretary and Treasurer of the Tourism Club said the club is going to help students get the networking and exposure that will be extremely beneficial in the Hospitality and Tourism industries in order to

get good jobs after graduation. “It’s always cool to have a sense of

belonging and unity, so I think at the very least people will get support for each other, but hopefully they’ll also maybe find a pretty decent job or at least be able to promote their own busi-nesses that they choose to open later,” Martinez said.

Lynne Cash, Vice president of the Tourism Club said the club will also help others in the CNM sur-rounding community become aware of what Hospitality and Tourism is really all about.

The club is working hard to get the CNM name out there and word of mouth is one of the most important things to be able to do when it comes to network, Cash said.

“Hospitality and Tourism is basi-cally the way a person is treated by another, it is a way of opening up your doors, it can be a home, an establish-ment, a business or an organization, and making any visitors or guest feel happy, wanted and satisfied with all parts of their visit,” she said.

Tourism Club advisor, Dr. David Mack Jackson said the members of the club are going to apply what they are learning in the classroom to real world situations.

What they are learning about hospitality is how it applies to all business, he said.

“The Tourism club is an awesome way that Hospitality and Tourism

students at CNM can actually apply what they learn in the classroom, not just at a community level but at a national level and I recommend any CNM student to join this club because it’s so enriching,” he said.

It is going to help Hospitality and Tourism students apply the concepts of 21st century hospi-tality, Jackson said.

“Plus they make connections, my main focus with all my students is to help them get a job, the tourism club will help them because it’s going to put them in the right connections, the right networking, and with the right people,” Jackson said.

They are also learning that tour-ism cannot exist without a destina-tion’s unique history, he said.

All the students in this club are exploring the unique history of New Mexico and its local historical value so when a person wants to know what there is to do or what there is to see they can be given a list of items with a detailed history on each one which is what most visitors request when planning to see a new location, he said.

Luis Estrada, Hospitality and Tourism major and club member said the club is going to help people know why things are here and where they originated from because a lot of people in the city might not even realize the amount of histori-cal stuff located right here in the city.

“I’m really looking forward to being in the club, I’m hoping to learn how tourism works and how to make it work for me, also to get experi-ence,” he said.

In these explorations club members will be able to meet with different businesses like the Great Albuquerque Innkeepers Association and the Albuquerque New Mexico Tourism Association, Jackson said.

These organiza-tions are the leaders in the industry in the state of New Mexico so this provides unique

opportunities for the members of the club, he said.

The club is currently planning future events which may include conventions, the Breaking Bad Tour, the Dia de Los Muertos Parade, and various educational opportunities on different landmarks in Albuquerque, Flores said.

The club is also planning to work with The Chronicle to bring in some of New Mexico’s unknown history and share it with the student body of CNM, he said.

“People will benefit a lot more being part of the club because it will increase the value of what they are learning”, Jackson said.

Tears of a black manThe tears you see rolling down my face,

are tears of sorrow for my black race.We fought for our freedom and together we won,Now we’re killing each other for nothing but fun.

Black man can’t you see that you’re the same color as me?

I was the one by your side when we fought to be free.

The tears you see rolling down my face,is from the pain in my heart,

because we’ve drifted so far apart.Is this what we fought the white man for,

the right to fight against each other?If it is, I liked you better as a slave,

at lease we had love for one anotherWhy can’t we still be brother and see out the same eyes?

Because when the white man raped our mothers,we wiped the tears from each other’s eyes.

Please my brother, wipe these tears from my face,I can’t stand another sleepless night,

But the only way you can wipe these tears,Is for our people to reunite

(a poem for my people)From: A.J. (concerned brother)

Understanding MyselfI know where I’ve been but I sometimes wonder if I know where I want to go,Because I often hid my thoughts instead

of letting my true feelings show.Maybe I’m still trying to find myself

after being lost for so long,And even my rain continues to work, I

still feel like there’s something wrong.So as I take a good look at myself I’m start-

ing to understand my thoughts a lot more.And I now realize that my brain has

a key that can open any door.I’ve always had faith in myself, but find-

ing myself is something new,That’s why strengthening my brain is the new goal I’ve set out to do.

By taking control of my destiny I’ve found that there’s a lot of room for change.

So even though I’ve made mistakes in the past, my future mistakes won’t be the same.

From old ways to better daysI’ve traveled along time but I’m journey isn’t over

Because I’m now starting to realize I need to travel a little slower.I’ve sometimes been quick to act without using my brain.

So the mistakes I made caused everyone I cared about a lot of suffering and pain.

I’ve always thought I had an answer before a problem came my way,But that was just me being stubborn, and not lis-

tening to what my brain had to say.Then change creeped into my life, and I now can see where I want to go.

I see all the things that life has to offer, and I’m will-ing to learn about things I don’t know.

My journey has been a long one, but I’m still going to take my time,Because the knowledge I put in my brain will

be something I can call all mine.They say with age comes wisdom, and I wasn’t

to prove those words to be trueBecause whenever m journey takes me I want to be proud of what I do.

Some people tend to be stuck in their ways not giving into the beauty of change,

But for me I’ve found the light in the tunnel by using the power of my brain.So as my days come to an end, I’m waiting for a new day to begin,

Because I’m looking forward to using my brain, which I have named my new best friend.

The JourneyWhen I began my journey I didn’t

know which way to goAnd even though I was alone I always got help from people I didn’t know.

I sometimes get lost and gave up on myself,And because of my pride I refused

to ask anyone for help.A journey through life can take you

to a lot of painful places,But those can sometimes be the place

you find the friendliest facesThere are people you’ll meet that

won’t stay in your life for long,But those are the people you’ll remem-ber helped you see right from wrong.

I can’t remember all the faces that helped me correct my life,

But I’ll always hear the voices that helped me pick up a pencil instead of a knife

I know that my journey won’t always be nice,But it’s the people that I’ll meet that will

give me the strength to think twice.I know I can’t undo my mistake so I’ve

learned to take them in strideBecause my journey won’t be per-

fect, but ill travel it with pride.I will always be thankful to those

people with the voices I hear,Because they helped show me the way

when I was traveling in fear.

The month of October is Breast Cancer awareness month but many people do not know that there are multiple types of awareness that also take place in the month of October, Director of the Student Health Center at CNM Marti Brittenham said.Students should know that if they ever have any questions regarding any of the items on this list they can check in with the health center for any and all medical related issues, she said.

“The health center will help anyway we can even if it is just to direct a student in the right direction”, she said.

The following is a list of other awareness that take place in the month of October along with a little information about each one which was provided by Marti Brittenham

•Down Syndrome AwarenessDown syndrome is a genetic malformation that causes mental retardation, heart malformations, and other maladies.While it can happen in any pregnancy, it is more likely to occur to women who become pregnant after the age of 35.

•Infertility AwarenessInfertility is a situation when a couple is unable to have a baby together. Either one of the people in the relationship may be infertile and unable to cause a pregnancy.

•Domestic Violence Awareness Domestic violence is when one or more of the people in a household or in a relationship beats up another member of the household. It also can be when one member of a relationship intimidates, stalks, or otherwise causes the other member of the household. This is treated as a crime.

•Lupus Erythematosus Awareness Lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease. It can be a mild disease that only causes a rash on the face or it can be a serious long-term illness.
