system: How is chemotherapy used to treat triple-negative breast cancer?
output: This is called a biopsy. It might take a couple of weeks to get biopsy results. Chemotherapy, a medicine that kills cancer cells, will likely be the first thing your doctor tries. You can get it by a needle into a vein or in a pill. When it's caught early, this type of cancer may respond better to chemo than others do. Your doctor can use chemo in one of two ways: Neoadjuvant therapy is when you get chemo before surgery to help shrink the tumor and make the operation easier. You might get it if you have a large tumor or if your lymph nodes are involved. It depends on the size of your tumor, how quickly your cancer grows, and whether the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes or other parts of your body.
system: Where can you get support for triple-negative breast cancer?
output: What type of surgery will I need? In addition to information about the disease, organizations like the American Cancer Society (www.cancer.org) and the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation (www.tnbcfoundation.org) can connect you with support groups. You can also check online for groups that meet locally, either through a church or community center. Don't forget to tell the people around you what's going on -- and to ask for help when you need it. It's up to you who you tell and when, but the more you share with family and friends, the better equipped they'll be to lend a hand when you need it.
system: What should you expect if you have triple-negative breast cancer?
output: Treatment may make triple-negative breast cancer go away. It depends on the size of your tumor, how quickly your cancer grows, and whether the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes or other parts of your body. The treatments may cause side effects like nausea, vomiting, pain, fatigue, or mental fuzziness (which is sometimes called âchemo brainâ). In general, about 90% of all women with breast cancer are still alive 5 years after diagnosis. While there isn't much data for specific types of breast cancer, 5-year survival rates are tracked by stage at diagnosis -- or how far the cancer has spread: Regional (cancer has spread to lymph nodes near the breast): 85.3% Distant (cancer has metastasized): 27% Although triple-negative breast cancer is more likely to return to another part of your body than other forms, the risk that this will happen drops over time.
system: How does rheumatoid arthritis affect women?
output: In one study, researchers found that women with RA reported more symptoms and more severe ones. Women in the study also didn't do as well when taking the same treatment as men. Early in the disease, women with RA are also less likely than men to reach "remission," which means they have no symptoms.
system: Does rheumatoid arthritis affect women more than men?
output: About 1.5 million Americans have RA -- and about three times more women have it than men. The disease acts differently in each gender, too.
system: What is the role of hormones in women?

system: Do antibiotics work for colds?
output: It isn't just natural treatments that don't work for colds. Antibiotics won't help either, because a virus causes these illnesses. The best way to treat your cold is to manage the symptoms. Save the antibiotics for strep throat or a sinus infection.

output: Echinacea is one of the first natural treatments people suggest when you have a cold, but most studies show it just doesn't work.
system: How do I know if I have a cold or allergies?

system: Can I still work out with a cold?
output: It's OK to be active if your cold symptoms are all above your neck, like a runny nose, stuffy head, sneezing or sore throat. Consider ramping down from a run to a walk, though. But if you have symptoms below the neck, like chest congestion, a hacking cough, an upset tummy, fever, muscle aches or fatigue, give yourself permission to sit it out. Rest is what gives your immune system time to recharge.

system: Can stress make you sick?
output: When you're freaked out about life, work, or whatever, it takes a toll on your immune system. You can't fight off viruses as well as you should. That makes you more likely to get a cold, and once that happens, your symptoms are going to be worse. Ongoing stress makes your body less able to respond to cortisol, a hormone that controls your body's response to threats like the virus that causes the common cold.
system: Why is it important to drink liquids when you're sick?
output: A sore throat can make it less than fun to swallow. A fever draws moisture out of your body. Plus, you lose fluid as your body makes mucus and it drains away. And that over-the-counter cold medicine you're taking to dry up your head? A side benefit: All that liquid helps loosen up the mucus in your nose and head. Stay away from booze, coffee, and caffeine when you're looking for things to sip though. They pull out more liquid than they leave behind. It's easy to confuse a cold with other ailments.
system: Can you get sick from not sleeping enough?
output: Once you have a cold, you need to catch enough Zzz's to help your body fight off the virus. Take it extra easy during the first 3 days. Too little shut-eye can also make you more likely to get a cold. One study found that people who got less than 7 hours of sleep a night were nearly three times more likely to get sick than people who slept for 8 hours or more. Rest is what gives your immune system time to recharge.
