The Council of Dads $9.99 Bestselling author Bruce Feiler was a young father when he was diagnosed with cancer. He instantly worried what his daughters’ lives would be like without him. “Would they wonder who I was? Would they wonder what I thought? Would they yearn for my approval, my love, my voice?” Three days later he came up with a stirring idea of how he might give them that voice. He would reach out to six men from all the passages in his life, and ask them to be present in the passages in his daughters’ lives. And he would call this group “The Council of Dads.” “I believe my daughters will have plenty of opportunities in their lives,” he wrote to these men. “They’ll have loving families. They’ll have each other. But they may not have me. They may not have their dad. Will you help be their dad?” The Council of Dads is the inspiring story of what happened next. Feiler introduces the men in his Council and captures the life lesson he wants each to convey to his daughters—how to see, how to travel, how to question, how to dream. He mixes these with an intimate, highly personal chronicle of his experience battling cancer while raising young children, along with vivid portraits of his father, his two grandfathers, and various father figures in his life that explore the changing role of fathers in America. This is the work of a master storyteller confronting the most difficult experience of his life and emerging with wisdom and hope. The Council of Dads is a touching, funny, and ultimately deeply moving book on how to live life, how the human spirit can respond to adversity, and how to deepen and cherish the friendships that enrich our lives. |

Breast Cancer Stages And Survival Rate
Breast cancer is a very grave disease. Cancer, if not treated, can cause pain as well as death. Cancer has many stages. Breast cancer in particular has Stage 3 because the advance stage of the disease with 50% possibility of survival. But as the cancer spreads and progresses, the chance of survival decreases. It should be noted, however, that there are many cancer survivors.
Even without the diagnosis of a medical professional, breast cancer can be detected by a breast examination which may be performed by anyone. Breast cancer can be detected by a lump which feels different from the rest of the tissues in the breast. The shape and size of the breast change. Other signs include skin dimpling, spontaneous nipple discharge or nipple inversion. Lumps that are observed near the armpit may also be a sign of breast cancer. Early detection can also be done through a mammogram.
Breast cancer stage is further subdivided into Stage 3-A, Stage 3-B and Stage 3-C. These categories are divided in line with the spread of the cancer cells within the breast region.
Breast cancer stage 3-A is seen as a the growth of cancerous tumor inside the breast. The tumor measures around five centimeters across. The spread of the cancer is still at the region of the lymph nodes. The risk of survival would still be high.
Breast cancer stage 3-B happens when the cancer tumor has spread to modify the tissues of the skin, muscles, ribs or even the chest area. The lymph nodes might have also been affected by the cancer.
If not treated, the cancer tumor will further spread towards the neck and collar region. Breast cancer stage 3-C is either operable or non-operable. It can be operable when the spread of the cancer is below the collarbone. Once it's spread above the collarbone, it becomes inoperable. By now, the lymph nodes have already been affected. The survival rate has already reduced to thirty five percent.
