Virtual Film and Education on Human Trafficking January 19, 2022 - 5:30 pm Virtual Talking Circle January 20, 2022 5:30pm Virtual Book Club Every Wednesday At 3:30pm Happy New Year As we start off the New Year (2022), several people will make a resolution, whether it’s exercising, eating healthier, taking a vacation, going back to school, quit smoking, etc. Many of these resolutions will require a change in lifestyle, for example, eating more fruits and vegetables, working on portion control during meals, going to the fitness center or incorporating more physical activities into your routine. 1. Make a list of the reasons why you want to quit smoking. 2. Choose a method, whether it be cold turkey, tapering, using an app or a texting program, or nicotine replacement therapy (NRTs). If you need assistance or have a question, contact the Tobacco Prevention coordinator at 541-444-9682. 3. Set a quit date. Pick a day that works for you, not a day that will be too stressful. Write it down and commit to it. 4. Let your family and friends know you are quitting and ask them to support you on your new journey. Let them know you may need to contact them when you’re going through a rough time. 5. Reward yourself. Use the money you will save on cigarettes and treat yourself to the new you. You can buy yourself something small and frequently, or save up and get something nice. . Cervical Cancer: Cervical cancer occurs when the cells of the cervix grow abnormally and invade other tissues and organs of the body. When it is invasive, this cancer affects the deeper tissues of the cervix and may spread to other parts of the body (metastasis), most notably the lungs, liver, bladder, vagina and rectum. There are two main types of cervical cancer: squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Each one is distinguished by the appearance of cells under a microscope. Squamous cell carcinomas begin in the thin, flat cells that line the bottom of the cervix. This type of cervical cancer accounts for 80 to 90 percent of cervical cancers. Adenocarcinomas develop in the glandular cells that line the upper portion of the cervix. These cancers make up 10 to 20 percent of cervical cancers. - 6 • Siletz News • January 2022 - -
