Hi, my mum was diagnosed near breast cancer 6 weeks ago. She had a biopsy and the tumor be found to be estrogen receptive. Her Bone Scan showed that the cancer have spread to her 7th rib and the CT Scan showed a small lesion in her lung, lymph nodes underneath armpit and lymph nodes in chest.
The oncologist said that cancer is controllable but fatal. She has to stay on hormone dream therapy for the rest of her life and cannot receive surgery as the oncologist said the wound wouldnt be capable of heal as their is cancer cell in the chest. She also wont be unloading chemotherapy as the oncologist said the hormone therapy is as only just as good.
Surely if the hormone psychoanalysis is stopping the cancer cells from surviving consequently surgery is an option? And is radiation not also an opportunity for the other sites of cancer?
What do you think of the prognosis? Does it look similar to a bad outcome?
Please dont spare details to not hurt my inner health. I can take it!
Thank you

Answers: This analysis potentially makes complete sense. If I may restate her satchel, your mom is suffering with metastatic, estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer, which is present surrounded by her bone and lymph nodes, ? small lesion in lung.
In patients who are ER+, we turn to great lengths to maximize benefit from hormonal therapy, because in certainty they do work just as all right (or better) than chemotherapy many times, and are so much easier to take/tolerate. Patients would unanimously receive chemo if they have organ-threatening disease (extensive lung or liver involvement for example) or other occasion where a more fast response from chemo is desired.
I am not sure what specific surgery you are inquiring about, but since her disease have metastasized, surgery is not going to cure her; we normally rely on the prescription therapy to control disease. Radiation could be used to itchy bone sites if needed. The hormone therapy will potentially treat adjectives of her disease.
She may well involve chemotherapy at some point, but it looks like your doc doesn't presume so now. Getting a second assessment is always average, though, but also just sitting down and conversation over your concerns with the current oncologist may meet your requirements.
Prognosis-wise, survival can be several years even with widely metastatic disease, sometime longer.
God bless, best wishes
I deduce you should get a second evaluation. This treatment doesn't make sense to me at adjectives. This oncologist doesn't seem to want to do anything for her and the hormone analysis makes no sense to me. I don't know that much nearly the treatment for breast cancer but I would definitely go and get a second opinion from another oncologist...........
Acne request for information?
Was anyone diagnosed next to the Epstein-Barr virus after unloading the Gardasil vaccine?
Is an EKG and chest x-ray that are run of the mill reliable for heart issues.?
