Sinus & Allergy Wellness Center of North Scottsdale
Sinus issues can be particularly challenging to identify, often mistaken for a common cold or headache. Women, in particular, may experience sinus pressure, pain and headaches while juggling daily responsibilities, making it easy to overlook the possibility of chronic sinusitis.
The Sinus & Allergy Wellness Center of North Scottsdale specializes in accurately diagnosing and effectively treating a wide range of ear, nose and throat conditions. From sinusitis and ear infections to more complex issues like a deviated septum or tinnitus, the state-of-the-art center offers comprehensive care tailored to each patient’s needs.
For those tired of enduring chronic sinusitis, there’s good news. Gone are the days of invasive surgeries with long recovery times. The practice now offers balloon sinuplasty, a minimally invasive, in-office procedure that takes about an hour. This safe and effective treatment uses a tiny nasal balloon to open blocked sinus passages, relieving the pressure and pain associated with chronic sinusitis.
One critical advantage of balloon sinuplasty is the swift recovery time. Patients can often return to normal activities within one to two days. The procedure preserves the body’s natural sinus openings and tissue, meaning future treatment options remain open. Moreover, 95 percent of patients who undergo balloon sinuplasty report that they would choose the procedure again.
If you’re struggling with sinus issues, don’t hesitate to seek help. Dr. Franklyn Gergits, MBA, D.O., FAOCO, and the medical providers at Sinus & Allergy Wellness Center are the most trusted in Arizona. Call 480-525-8999 or visit sinusaz.com to schedule a consultation.
American Cancer Society
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and while death rates have gone down dramatically in recent years, the American Cancer Society says how you move through survivorship is critical. Although female breast cancer has become the most diagnosed cancer worldwide, the number of women dying from breast cancer has declined by 43 percent from its peak in 1989 to 2020, mainly because of early detection and improved treatment.
According to the American Cancer Society, the chance of survival improves when people living with breast cancer receive equitable screening and treatment, emotional support and connection, and access to cost-reducing programs.
“There are effective screening tests and treatments for many types of breast cancer,” says Debbie Simons, executive director of the American Cancer Society in Arizona. “But, ensuring everyone has equitable access to screening and treatments is a key component of improving cancer outcomes, and emotional support from a community of survivors can make the journey of survivorship much easier.”
The American Cancer Society recommends breast cancer screening for those at average risk beginning at age 45 with the option to start at age 40. If breast cancer is found during a screening, the person diagnosed will develop a treatment plan with their health-care team.
The American Cancer Society offers survivors support in the following areas:
• Community Connection: The American Cancer Society’s Reach to Recovery program provides a network of people who understand the emotional toll of a breast cancer diagnosis. The program matches people diagnosed with breast cancer to trained volunteers who are also survivors. This virtual connection provides support and a listening ear from someone who has walked the same path.
• Access to Treatment: Maintaining a consistent treatment schedule is essential in effectively managing breast cancer. Still, it is difficult for everyone to get to treatment appointments due to cost, distance or ability, leading to missed appointments and a lessened adherence to the treatment plan, which harms the health of the person diagnosed. Having a reliable ride to appointments and a place to stay if travel is required ensures more people receive the vital treatment they need. The American Cancer Society ensures that anyone who needs a ride or a place to stay during treatment has one free of charge through transportation and lodging grants, its Road to Recovery program and Hope Lodge communities.
• Appearance Resources: Sometimes, cancer treatment changes the survivor’s body. The American Cancer Society’s TLC (Tender, Loving Care) program offers wigs, hats, scarves and undergarments made especially for those who have had mastectomies or other breast surgeries.
Visit cancer.org/az to get more information about talking to a doctor about screening, community and logistical support and the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event, a non-competitive walk that has grown into the nation’s largest breast cancer movement. The event occurs in Phoenix on Saturday, October 26, at Tempe Beach Park at 8 a.m., providing a supportive community for courageous breast cancer survivors, caregivers, and families.
