I feel duped. What the statistics really mean and something to consider now that the new standard protocol is taking Tamoxifen for 10 years.

Leukemia risk higher in certain breast cancer chemotherapy treatments.

Unfortunately many of the adult acute leukemia patients I was treated with when I was fighting ALL, were breast cancer “survivors” 5+ years in remission after chemotherapy for breast cancer. The data generally reflects that these women were “cured of breast cancer as they were in remission for 5 years, but then the treatment gave them acute…[Read more]

This really is upsetting. This was not told to me as one of the side effects. I have to go in for a check up because I’ve got swelling around my lymph nodes near my collar bone which is a symptom of leukemia. The protocol for breast cancer treatment really needs to be evaluated because they haven’t changed it in decades and clearly are keeping…[Read more]

Breast cancer: Study identifies a molecular mechanism of drug resistance in ER+ tumors – Medical News TodayStudy suggests that a mechanism of drug resistance in ER+ breast cancers could be changes to the estrogen receptor caused by two immune system molecules.-
Well this makes me question why they are extending the length of this treatment from 5 years to 10 if most of us will become resistant. And this may have just finalized my decision to stop hormone therapy at 5 years.

Thank you Gracie for this post and comment! I agree that this makes no sense. Seems like they are extending this simply to collect data and learn more about the mechanisms, but what is in the best interest if the patients??

I’m reading a very informative book about ACUPRESSURE, “not acupuncture”….there is a difference! No needles are involved, no drugs, no pain killers….just your fingers. “Acupressure’s Potent Points: A Guide to Self-Care for Common Ailments” by Michael Reed Gacg. With this book, you can turn your hands into healing tools – and start…[Read more]

Thanks Nippercat! Since this info is directly relevant to “Acupressure” which is very different from Acupuncture, we will create an acupressure community and put this post in it 🙂 BTW Massage therapy often incorporates acupressure principles, sometimes by default. We will launch a “Message Therapy” community as well!

We have used a Santevia unit for several years now and really love it. However, it does have a limit as to its range of alkalinization, and it may start to grow algae, etc. We tried adding a few drops of Colloidal Silver to stop algae, but that at most slowed it down. In the end, the solution that stopped the greening of our water and also…[Read more]

This seems like great info Ruth but i am a little confused myself. Can you please put this into context for the patients? Like, Is this a treatment option for this type of breast cancer? Is this a first line treatment or a follow up consolidation? Where does this info fit into their treatment options.

I am sorry Gracie! This is exactly why we so desperately need CrowdHealing! How do you feel duped? What were you told that wasnt true?
My oncologist definitely played the statistics game by saying there is a 40+% greater survival rate with taking tamoxifen etc. but what that really means is only a 1-2% difference from those that don’t. I would have never taken it for the last five years and I’m definitely not taking it for another 5. When so much is being thrown at you in a…[Read more]
