Preface

Introduction to Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among women worldwide, originating from cells in the breast. The majority of DNA mutations associated with breast cancer are acquired later in life, with only a small percentage being hereditary. Gaining a basic understanding of breast cancer is crucial for early detection and treatment.

Early Symptoms

Early signs of breast cancer can be subtle, but as the condition progresses, patients may exhibit the following symptoms:

• Breast lumps: The most common symptom, often felt as hard and immovable.
• Nipple discharge: Which may be bloody or non-bloody.
• Changes in skin texture: Such as dimpling or an orange-peel appearance.
• Inverted or bleeding nipples.
• Breast swelling: Swelling or pain in the breast.
• Enlarged lymph nodes in the armpit.

Diagnostic Methods

The diagnosis of breast cancer typically begins with a clinical breast examination and may include:

• Mammography: To detect abnormalities in breast tissue.
• Breast ultrasound: To assess the nature of the lump.
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): May be required in certain cases.
• Biopsy: To examine cells for cancerous properties.

Treatment Options

The treatment of breast cancer varies depending on the type, stage, and overall health of the patient. Common treatments include:

• Surgery: May involve lumpectomy or mastectomy.
• Radiation therapy: Using high-energy rays to kill cancer cells.
• Chemotherapy: Using drugs to kill cancer cells.
• Hormone therapy: For patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.
• Targeted therapy: Treating specific genes or proteins in cancer cells.

Prevention and Self-Examinations

In addition to medical treatments, prevention and self-examinations are essential components of managing breast cancer. It is recommended that:

• Women over 25 have an annual breast ultrasound.
• Women over 35 have an annual mammogram combined with a breast ultrasound.
• Regular self-examinations of the breasts are conducted, noting any new changes.

Support and Education

Engaging in support groups and educational programs can help patients and families better understand breast cancer and improve management capabilities. These resources can provide emotional support, practical information, and coping strategies.

Conclusion

Breast cancer is a treatable disease. Through early screening, regular check-ups, and appropriate treatment, many patients can effectively control the condition and even achieve remission. Understanding the risk factors, symptoms, and treatment options for breast cancer is vital for improving survival rates and quality of life. Let us work together to raise awareness about breast cancer and support those affected.

Embroidery coverage means the amount of embroidery on the surface of a twill patch backing covered by threads. So there are three types of embroidered patches according to embroidery coverage. The types of embroidered patches we offer are 50% embroidery, 75% embroidery and 100% embroidery. But do you know What’s the difference for 50% Embroidery,75% Embroidery, and 100% Embroidery?

50% Embroidery

On the 50% Embroidered Patches, we use a twill backing color of your choice and then embroider your design onto the twill to create the patch.50% embroidered patches mean the embroidery covers 50% or less of the surface area of the twill backing. As usually, 50% of embroidered patches are used for text-only designs, such as Name patches. Because there is plenty of open space to present your information and keep patches simple, classic, and clean.

75% Embroidery

75% Embroidered Patches with more embroidery than 50%.75% embroidered patches allow the featuring both larger and centered embroidery design elements. Embroidered area highlights show the difference between the height of the twill backing and the texture.

100% Embroidery

The 100% Embroidered Patches is the highest quality patch we offer, and the customer selects the thread color of the entire patch that does not contain visible diagonal stripes.100% embroidered patches are patches in which all of the twill patch backings is covered in thread. This style of patch is among the most popular options that GS-JJ.Com offers, because of its outstanding quality and appearance.

Soft Enamel Coins VS Hard Enamel Coins

Soft enamel coin is not “soft” when touching.

The “soft enamel”, an industry term, is the meaning of the color fill process used to create the challenge coin. Recessed areas will be filled with liquid enamel by using a tiny needle, and are surrounded by raised metal as a line to contain the enamel well. After baked and polished, the challenge coin can be ready for package and delivery. If you rub your fingers over your custom soft enamel coin you will have a layered feeling.

And for hard enamel, this craft is a multi-step enamel process, which is often used to produce jewelry, vases, and high-end decorative handicrafts. It is also called cloisonné. This type of challenge coin has its flash-point, smooth surface, and colorful images that are the same level as the based metal, with a glossy finish.

The process of hard enamel is always made from great material and costs a little more. The enamel color will be added several times to match the higher raised metal line, and then it is heated at a very high temperature to harden and polished in detail.

The different process makes different features for your custom coins. You can know it well from the below pictures and lists.

Custom Soft Enamel Coins

• Color filled with liquid pigment
• Created with raised and recessed areas when touching
• 3D image can be engraved on its surface
• A wide selection of shapes and sizes for soft enamel coin
• Optional epoxy coating can be added if wanted
• Popular and cost-effective style
• Good for corporate challenge coins, honor coins, etc.

Soft enamel coin is the most popular option for customers and is provided at a cost-effective price. The color fill is liquid pigment, and the color areas are lower than metal parts; so the soft enamel coin looks more layered. With raised metal and recessed color areas, enamel-colored parts are more attractive and vivid under the light.

Custom Hard Enamel Coins

• Color filled by solid pigment
• multi-step enamel process to make enamel parts as higher as raised metal
• The intense polishing process make hard enamel coin more bright and harden with a smooth finish
• Highest-quality, most durable
• Expensive price
• Good for Military coins, Navy and Air Force challenge coins, etc.

Hard enamel coin is a high-quality challenge coin, and its color is filled with solid pigment. The color and metal area are flushed with a smooth surface with intense polish. Hard enamel coin is a durable challenge coin; colors are vibrant for years to come. If you want to collect valuable challenge coins, a hard enamel coin is a great choice.

What’s more, custom coins are crafted with hard enamel and often be presented themselves well and of higher quality because of their luxurious appearance.

Soft Enamel Coin or Hard Enamel Coin: Which is Better?

Someone had custom coins minted in soft enamel because he liked the realistic feeling. While, others prefer to choose hard enamel coins, which feature a smooth surface.

Whether to choose soft enamel or hard enamel manufacturing methods ultimately depends on your preference and budget. We can create your challenge coin using either process perfectly.

As a leading challenge coin maker, we employ quality control inspections to ensure all custom coins meet the customer’s requirements. We even take your personalized design ideas and turn them into real great pieces through our finest craftsmanship.

There are 4 drawing tools (Add Art, Add Text, Layers, Drawing) on the left column. When you choose one pattern in templates, you can click on any drawing tool you like. I am usually accustomed to pitching on Layers first.

A. Layers

You need to hold the left mouse button when you pitch on one layer such as image 0#texture, then, move the layer to any place you want, or adjust it in Flip, Center or Adapt. Likewise, you could delete or clear it if you don’t like it.

Challenge coins are usually manufactured into a round shape, however, there are still some irregular shape coins. You can visit here if you hope to get more creative designs.

B. Add Symbol

When you want to add some other figures to the template, there are also many options for your reference. You can choose 1 type to filter.

C. Add Text

The next step is that you should add some texts on your pattern, you can input your text in the frame of the left side first, then, hold your left mouse button to move the text area to any place you want to. You also can edit the text if you are not satisfied with the effect.

D. Drawing or Upload

I believe that you must have seen the following drawing tools, then let’s play with your rich imagination! Of course, you can upload your own pictures if you are not fancy about our patterns.

Of course, you can design a coin based on your own sequence if you don’t like the above procedure. But that’s not your final design. You will see the below page when you click on NEXT. That is to say, you need to choose one coin metal finish to go on your next structure designing.

As the above picture shows, some different plating colors could be chosen on coins customizing, such as gold, silver, copper, antique gold, etc.

Step 2. Get Free Quote about Your Designed Challenge Coins

Click the next and  you need to pitch on “Challenge Coins” first, then, select one option in the sequent pictures step by step as the following illustrates. From selecting colors, coin size, coin weight to the last step, I believe you will make a perfect challenge coin soon.

After finishing the above-customized steps, you will finally get this quotation. Of course, you can go back to your whole quotation list if you want to re-edit it.

Step 3. Waiting and Enjoying Your Unique Coins 

I suppose you will get a strong sense of achievement after you complete the whole process. Would you like to try to design a challenge coin online immediately? Come on!

Laser Cut Border

There is no sewn border on these patches, and it depends on the look and feels you want them to have. This option is ideal for custom embroidered patches that have an intricate shape.
