I will have to send this to my mom. I was just telling her about this. She has to get a mammogram every six months on the breast she has breast cancer and I wanted her to ask her doctor if they could use this at six months to monitor and then the normal yearly mammogram.

Living with breast cancer: Statistics on survival rates by stage – Medical News TodayWhat is the outlook for people with breast cancer and what factors may affect the outlook? What is the 5-year and 10-year survival rate by stage?-
I still feel in many ways what they know about survival
rates and why it comes back for some women regardless of stage is like throwing spaghetti at a wall and seeing what sticks.

Interesting. I’m going to have to try this and see if it helps with any of the phantom pains that many of us exhibit in the areas where our tumors removed.

Breast cancer: A visual guide to self-examination – Medical News TodayA monthly breast self-examination can identify abnormalities and help catch cancer in its early stages. Learn more about how it works in this article.-
The first time a girl goes to her OBGYN she should be taught the proper way to do self exams and given a fake breast with tumors to feel so she knows what to look for. I did exams all the time and I routinely said I have no idea what I’m supposed to feel. I had dense breasts on top of that so to me they always felt lumpy.

What I would like to know is why patients aren’t given all the options to chose from. Why do we have to try “standard” therapy first and go through all the horrors of chemo and radiation and only then are we candidates for newer and better therapies.

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

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]

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.

More women opting to remove a healthy breast after cancer diagnosis – Medical News TodayNew study shows that in five states, half of women with cancer in one breast opt to surgically remove their unaffected breast as a preventive measure.-
I did because my type of cancer (lobular) has a higher chance of coming back in the other side and it’s also more difficult to detect early. So for piece of mind I chose to do both.

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??
