This includes providing patients with support and information along with the most current natural cancer treatments.<\/p>\n<p>A recent report in The Guardian news in the UK notes that &#8220;17 percent of women diagnosed with breast cancer waited for over a month to see a GP.&#8221; Even when the patients recognized symptoms, they chose to wait. Another worrisome poll by YouGov concerning <a href=\"https:\/\/issels.com\/blog\/2015\/02\/27\/weight-gain-with-breast-cancer-is-not-uncommon-what-to-do\/\">breast cancer care<\/a> states &#8220;one in 20 women wait more than six months&#8221; to see a doctor which decreases the opportunity to provide effective treatment at the earliest stages of their cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the women who prolonged visiting their GP convinced themselves the symptoms they exhibited were not serious. A significant number admitted they were too scared to schedule a doctor visit because they were afraid their fears would be validated.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, ignoring the symptoms of breast cancer, whether because of fear or denial, does nothing to tackle the cancer cells. Not seeing a doctor to get a proper diagnosis only allows the cancer cells to multiply.<\/p>\n<p>Early diagnosis is the key to getting a jump start on the disease and patients are strongly urged to schedule an appointment, as soon as possible, whenever one or\u00a0 more of cancer symptoms are\u00a0present.<\/p>\n<p>At our centers, patients receive immunotherapy along with other types of treatment and care with the use of <a href=\"https:\/\/issels.com\/blog\/2015\/03\/11\/the-hormone-called-irisin-may-provide-breast-cancer-protection\/\">non-toxic medications<\/a>. Our goal is providing treatment and helping patients navigate through each step. For this to happen, it&#8217;s important to follow through with doctor visits.<\/p>\n<p>If you have questions about breast cancer and need information about our programs, please <a href=\"http:\/\/issels.com\/questionnaire\/request-issels-info.aspx\">contact our center<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Issels\u00ae, our programs have focused on our patients for over 60 years.
