NFRMC... Where Breast Cancer Care Is All About You
ImageYou have breast cancer.

According to the American Cancer Society, this year 182,460 women and 1,990 men in the United States will hear those words. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and it is the second leading cause of cancer death for women aside from lung cancer. Receiving a breast cancer diagnosis can be devastating but you are not alone. The cancer team at North Florida Regional Medical Center (NFRMC) is here to walk with you every step of the way from diagnosis, to treatment, to life after breast cancer.

The Breast Health Program at the Women’s Center at NFRMC assists in the diagnosis of breast cancer by offering patients mammograms, breast ultrasounds and the choice of several types of minimally invasive breast biopsies. Digital mammograms, breast ultrasounds and breast MRIs can help identify a lump in the breast. If a lump is found, a biopsy (when a piece of tissue is removed from a suspicious lump in the breast and viewed under a microscope) is done to determine whether the lump is cancerous or not. If a diagnosis of breast cancer is made, you will discuss treatment options with cancer specialists.

Women of Influence
Women of Influence was created in January 2007 after I returned from a life changing seminar in Texas. I came home challenged, inspired, and determined to live the life I was destined to live and help others to do the same.

My desire is for women from all walks of life of every age, race and nationality to join us on this journey to live a life of passion and purpose. I want women to know how significant they are and the influence they can have whether they are college students, moms at home raising their children, women juggling their career and home life or retired empty nesters. As long as we have breath on this earth, we can make a difference.

An Embarassing Problem That Affects Many Women
It starts with a question.

A question about something unwanted yet life changing.

It can simply be a “WHY?”

It might be a working mother asking herself why she gets up 4-5 times every night, which significantly affects her ability to function effectively at work. Or it could be a grandmother wondering why she can’t pick up her grandchildren without urinary leakage. Whatever the case may be, the 17 million women that are affected by bladder control have a solution for this problem – and for more than 80 percent it can be fixed without surgery
