You can see from my avatar name, that I, too, a survivor of breast cancer. When I discovered the tumor had my PC DR me to a surgeon who ordered a biopsy and in 2 days, they told me it was malignant ductal carcinoma. It is good that my husband was with me, because once I heard the word "cancer" I felt the life drain from me directly, tears fell like a shower and heard nothing, "he said. My first thought was" that's all, now that want to die. "At the end of the week I had a mastectomy. Not bad. The part that made me stronger, because he was an idiot for a DR. I know it sounds strange, but hey, my first visit, I wondered why so much breast tissue is much more than his stupid answer "no cancer there," Even my husband thought it was strange. In a year when I had rigjht another tumor at the site of the mastectomy, the CD itself is removed. Now I am really worried and decided to see an oncologist. I told him my story and said that they literally said to me, I'll never forget: "Every SouthGeon must be specially trained to have a mastectomy. Not every doctor can do. Secondly, should not be left in any tissue in the breast that is sick. "A week later I heard a second mastectomy, oncologist and removes any remaining tissue, which remains the first. When he came to me saying he was bad because of what he did was a bi-lateral mastectomy. Tissue He concluded that the first and found another tumor. I was angry. I have the first surgeon and my oncologist did not give this name or other information. But I told him I wondered how many women in the mastectomy was performed and tissue left in them. think of how many of these women walk, they are free of cancer, which may harbor a new tumor. just the experience that led me to an article warning women in our local newspaper to write about the surgeons who are not adequately trained to have a mastectomy. advise all women to ensure that it was the surgeon, specially trained. I have no breasts, but I'm helping other women and to warn orEm Have it me stronger and I can speak against the inexperienced doctors. Good luck with your book, I was a write. In another issue. God bless
My mother-in-law was told by a doctor that they do not have more children. My wife, my son, went after 14 treatments of radiation and chemotherapy for lymphoma, cancer, including Hodgkin's disease. He was told by her oncologist that she would never have children because her treatment was sterile. 10 years later, my children here, in the 4th Year. Life always finds a way.
AMEN!
