Guest guest Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 At her age i would be cautious of any procedures, the body has ways of containing and living with " cancer " , great to hear she is supplements and especially the immune boosters. I would look into the POLYMVA and keep her on a maintenace dose at the least. You need something that targets cacner cells specifically. good luck > > I have posted message last year that my mom was diagnosed with > estrogen positive breast cancer based on lymph node biopsy test.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Dear Liz: In my very humble opinion, your mother who is 80 years old, would probably run greater risks in trying to care of the fibroid mastitis or hypothetical breast cancer.. She can lead a happy healthy life without putting her thru the risks of a surgery she, frankly won´t get any benefit from.. It doesn´t even seem like it is cancer..and at her age...she will probably die of anything else even if she does get breast cancer.. Why not let it be if she is fine, taking supplements and enjoying her life? I am always amazed at how quickly the bring the knife out ... Surgeons love surgeries... They live on how many they can perform a month, year? If they were remove the benign tumors? it sounds like fribroquistic tissue which most of us women have nowadays, she´ll get them back anyway... I hope this can shed some light for you SIncerely Lillian 2008/2/7, imsinfo <imsinfo@...>: > > I have posted message last year that my mom was diagnosed with > estrogen positive breast cancer based on lymph node biopsy test.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I'm still a bit confused by the diagnosis. Fibroaenomas are not cancerous and do not become cancerous. Some doctors want to remove the larger ones in younger people because of trouble with mammograms, or some such reason. There is no reason to remove them in an 80 year old woman unless they are posing some sort of danger. ar -- Arlyn Grant arlynsg@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Back in 1998, I asked my surgeon, " If it's benign, why do you want to take it out? " She replied, " We do NOT leave masses in the breast! " So I had my adenoma removed and it proved to be a 5cm adenocarcinoma - Stage 3B - Not benign at all. So a needle biopsy can sometimes be wrong. And I'm glad she insisted. Corky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I have fibrocystic breasts..I f I had taken every mass out I would have lost my breasts long time ago.. I did remove my breast when I had breast cancer... To consider than an 80 year old woman should go through all the risks of surgery to prevent a cancer, which if she got it.. due to her age, would not be a major illness of deat. life concern...Maybe though the " treatments and preventiosn " for the greater illness, end up being a lot more deadly and leave her with no great life quality... Balancing diet, doing hormonal balancing in a naturopathic way , and all the things that give her quality of life, regardelss of the breast issue in itsel, I consider a great gift of life and healing..We are people, each of us with our very individual needs, we are not walking cancers.... An 80 year old woman! Boy if I get to be that old I hope I have gained enough wisdom to enjoy my health! There is a point where Prevention turns into Affection and Illness in itself.. I hope the woman is wise enogh to decide what she thinks is best for her..specially if she has no breast cancer to worry about..

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 My point was not that an 80 year old should have a cyst removed - only that in some cases (I was 58), the surgeon may be right. I had had cystic breasts from the time I developed breasts and had had MANY of them aspirated plus a previous surgical biopsy when one wouldn't aspirate. My surgeon was well acquainted with my breasts, having done most of the aspirations of the previous 15 years or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Hi, Corky. If I'd had a doctor say to me, " We do not leave masses in the breast! " I would have been looking for another doctor. There are far more proper ways to express things. Reminds me of when my mother had a bladder infection, and the urologist called in a " neurourologist, " who wanted to do a complicated, and, to my mind, unnecessary test on my mother. When I asked him what he expected to ascertain from the test, he replied, from behind 1/2-inch thick glasses, " FIRST we do the test! THEN we ask the questions! " That is NOT the kind of (Totalitarian-minded) doctor I EVER want working on me or anyone in my family. Best wishes, Elliot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
