Understanding Breast Cancer Treatment: Exploring Surgeries and Therapies

Breast cancer is a serious illness that requires careful treatment. There are different ways to treat breast cancer, including surgeries and therapies. In this article, we'll look at the types of surgeries and therapies used to treat breast cancer. We'll explain what they are, how they work, and why they're important.

Types of Surgeries:

Lumpectomy: A lumpectomy is a surgery where doctors remove the tumor and a small amount of surrounding healthy tissue from the breast. It's often used for early-stage breast cancer to help keep as much of the breast as possible.

Mastectomy: Mastectomy is when doctors remove the whole breast to treat breast cancer. There are different types of mastectomy, depending on how much tissue is removed.

Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy: This surgery helps doctors see if the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. Doctors find and remove a few lymph nodes to check for cancer cells.

Types of Therapies:

Radiation Therapy: Radiation therapy uses special beams to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. It's often used after surgery to make sure any leftover cancer cells are gone.

Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is when patients take special drugs to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing. It's used before or after surgery to help get rid of cancer cells and prevent them from coming back.

Hormone Therapy: Hormone therapy blocks hormones that can make breast cancer grow. It's used for hormone-sensitive breast cancer to stop cancer cells from growing.

Targeted Therapy: Targeted therapy attacks specific parts of cancer cells to stop them from growing. It's a newer type of treatment that can be very effective for certain types of breast cancer. Combination Therapies:

Neoadjuvant Therapy: This therapy is given before surgery to shrink tumors and make them easier to remove. It helps make surgery more successful.

Adjuvant Therapy: Adjuvant therapy is given after surgery to help lower the risk of cancer coming back. It can include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or targeted therapy.

Conclusion: Breast cancer treatment is complex, but there are many ways to fight it. Surgeries and therapies play a big role in helping people beat breast cancer. By understanding the different types of surgeries and therapies available, patients and their doctors can work together to come up with the best treatment plan for each person. With the right treatment, many people with breast cancer can go on to live long, healthy lives.

Yesterday was my sixth month post-op date.

On the one hand it's been absolutely wild to me that I went through such a major surgery and returned to living my normal life almost two months out from the surgery. But at the same time, I'm still dealing with some issues. And any time I start to get frustrated I have to remind myself that I had organs removed, scar tissue and endo lesions cut out, an ovary drained, and cysts removed. That takes *time* to heal, and sometimes it's that last 5% that takes the longest.

Scar tissue has formed again, which I knew would happen. I can feel it pulling on my left side when I breath to deep or move in a certain way. I can also feel it behind my belly button, tugging away now and again to remind me of the surgery. I can still feel gas bubbles sliding over my old sutures and that hurts. Like. A lot. My lower half still gets sore now and again, especially after walking for too long or sitting for too long. I think I'm gonna go to a pelvic floor therapist soon, but I keep balking at the price.

As for my health? Better in some respects, but much the same in others. I don't regret the surgery in the slightest - not having to worry about bleeding ever again, dramatically decreasing my risk for ovarian cancer, and completely eliminating cervical cancer chances is a great boon. And my digestion feels way better - I can actually eat spicy food!

But a part of me wishes that this was a cure, even though I knew it wasn't. I'm sometimes struck with the reality that this is a *lifelong* condition, and even removing organs and lesions and other detritus isn't a cure. But I also take care to remember that we're on the frontier of endo treatment - it's going to get better and better with each passing year. At least, I have to hope it will. And maybe in the future there will be a cure, and maybe they'll be people who are diagnosed after me that won't have to resort to the extremes I did to get some relief. Maybe one day it'll be as easy as getting a preventative vaccine, and people won't ever be diagnosed with this disease.

As for now, I continue to heal, to educate, and to support. I open myself up to questions from anyone and everyone, trying to dispel some of the myths and satisfy people's curiosity. I should get a shirt that says 'Ask Me About my Vaginal Cuff'.

And for those who have been supporting me these last six months - thank you 💗

I’m rereading your bvd/cci/eds/migraine posts with interest, bc I’m coming at it from the other direction—cervical spine degeneration and my body’s compensation attempts being the cause of the vision and other neurological symptoms, where you seem to experience that compensating for the vision problems exacerbates the issues with your spine.

Did you end up trying the preemptive bracing, since you found that monthly hormone changes caused eds flareups and migraines? What kind of brace, if you don’t mind saying?

And do you find that chiropractic adjustments help or hurt more than massage?

Not asking you for medical expertise, but it is so nice to hear from people who are speaking from the lived experience.

Thank you!

.

I haven’t tried bracing my neck yet, no. I doubled down on cervical stability exercises in PT and that seems to be helping a bit more. (Though I am still on the lookout for a brace that doesn’t break me out in hives.)

And no, chiropractic adjustments of the neck are never recommended for anyone, but especially not for anyone with cervical instability issues. I found this out after a neck adjustment tore all the muscles in my neck and required me to have an MRI to look for a possible brain bleed after I started developing neurological symptoms from the injury. I was bedridden for weeks.

This was not a “bad” or wrongly performed adjustment: it’s just the risk of having your neck adjusted.

It’s been 5 years and I still don’t have full stability on the right side of my neck and often get tingling numbness on that side.

The spinal specialist I saw for my recovery told me he used to primarily see people with brain injuries from car crashes and construction accidents. Now most of his primary patients are people who saw chiropractors and had their necks adjusted.

I still sometimes see a chiropractor for mid and lower back adjustments, and my hips because those pop out of place fairly often and my chiro is better at getting them back in than the local urgent care, but my person uses gentle stretching motions rather than the more abrupt cracking motions. She also refuses to touch anyone’s neck ever. There are far too many vital nerves and blood vessels there to risk it. The fact that she knows this makes me feel safe entrusting my pain management to her.

Massage and physical therapy are how I manage my issues the best.

Mysofascial release therapy has been very helpful for me in reclaiming a lot of my range of motion, breaking up muscle adhesions and building healthy soft tissue. There’s some new-agey bullshit claims about it, but if you find someone who knows how to do it and who doesn’t believe the “cures cancer” horseshit (claims some chiropractors also make) it can be beneficial.

The real long term progress, however, has been from regular physical therapy from providers who know how to deal with my hypermobility.

Before I get into this post I want to make it abundantly clear that I fullheartedly support trans people. Trans women are women and trans men are men, so don't get it fucking twisted.

But we need to abolish this idea that biological sex doesn't matter because there are very valid reasons where your birth sex is incredibly important. There are X and Y linked disorders that favor or are exclusive to each sex. No amount of hormones in the world will cure things like hemophilia A, Hunter Syndrome, Turner Syndrome, or Duchenne muscular dystrophy. If you are a trans man, you are at risk for things like ovarian cancer or cervical cancer, and trans women have to worry about prostate cancer and testicular cancer. Fortunately, most of these worries can be abetted with gender affirming care, but this isn't accessible to everyone, especially in the United States. I deeply sympathize with anyone who experiences gender dysphoria but you need to take care of your health. Better to face temporary discomfort in the waiting room of your doctor's office than to die prematurely.

If it helps, HIPAA means that your physician cannot give anyone your medical history without consent. As long as you don't say anything, no one there will know you're trans or that you're there for sex specific healthcare. As far as anyone knows, the trans man sitting in the waiting room of an OBGYN is merely an expecting father or a relative of someone getting care. Either way, it's none of their goddamn business.

I resume to get a pap smear. Even if Theo learns how to do it. He can’t make me get one.

Alright, but if u get cervical cancer or something, he's definitely finding the cure for cancer and you can't say no

We at *BP family in the pass post a story of Mrs Henrietta Lacks story and how she and her family for generation were robbed by the scientific community for decades. The most important information to take away is that a single BLACK WOMAN DNA has contributed to modern medical breakthroughs and cures, and is still ongoing. There are a myriad of scientific developments due to Mrs Lacks -HELA CELLS as them called it. We are please to see that the family is getting restitution and reparations from yet again being robbed by them and covering up as them taken the credit and leaving the Black community/family in the dark and high and dry. We will reblog the original post.

Family of Henrietta Lacks settles lawsuit with biotech giant, lawyer says

The family of Henrietta Lacks, a Black woman whose cancer cells were used without permission to form the basis of decades of scientific research, has reached a settlement with the biotech company Thermo Fisher Scientific.

The cells, known as HeLa cells, were taken from Lacks without her knowledge or consent in 1951 when she was seeking cervical cancer treatment at Johns Hopkins, in Baltimore. Doctors discovered that the cells doubled every 20 to 24 hours in the lab instead of dying. They were the first human cells that scientists successfully cloned, and they have been reproduced infinitely ever since.

Lacks herself died in 1951, but her cells continued to be used after her death in research that led to a series of medical advancements, including in the development of the polio vaccine and in treatments for cancer, HIV/AIDS, leukemia and Parkinson's disease. Lacks' family only found out about it decades later.

Lacks' story reached millions of Americans through the nonfiction bestseller "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks," which was made into an HBO movie starring Oprah Winfrey as Lacks' daughter, Deborah.

In 2021, Lacks' estate filed a lawsuit against Thermo Fisher Scientific, alleging that the company was mass producing and selling tissue taken from Lacks even after it became well-known that the materials had been taken from her without her consent. The suit was filed exactly 70 years after Lacks' death.

"Thermo Fisher Scientific has known that HeLa cells were stolen from Ms. Lacks and chose to use her body for profit anyway," the lawsuit alleged. It has been previously reported that Thermo Fisher Scientific said they generate about $35 billion in annual revenue. In the lawsuit, Lacks' estate asked that the company "disgorge the full amount of its net profits obtained by commercializing the HeLa cell line to the Estate of Henrietta Lacks."

The suit also sought an order stopping the company from using the HeLa cells without the estate's permission. The terms of Tuesday's settlement were not made public, but Crump said in a news conference that both parties were "pleased" to have resolved the matter outside of court, CBS Baltimore reported.

SOME CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE HELA CELLS

-HeLa cells were first used to study the growth and spread of poliomyelitis virus, the cure of Polio

-HeLa cells have also been instrumental in the development of Human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccines.

-Over the years, HeLa cells have been infected with various types of viruses including HIV, Zika, herpes, and mumps

-HeLa cells have been used in a number of cancer studies, including those involving sex steroid hormones such as estradiol, estrogen, and estrogen proliferation.

-Hela cells contribute to scientists Joe Hin Tjio and Albert Levan to develop better techniques for staining and counting chromosomes.This was important for the study of developmental disorders such as down syndrome that involved the number of chromosomes.

-HeLa cells were sent on the first satellite and human space missions to determine the long term effects of space travel on living cells and tissue.

-HeLa cell line was derived for use in cancer research. and human papillomavirus 18 (HPV18) to human cervical cells created the HeLa genome, which is different from Henrietta Lacks’ genome in various ways,

-The complete genome of the HeLa cells was sequenced and published on 11 March 2013[46][47] without the Lacks family’s knowledge

-HeLa cells as a tool to uncover the machinery required and process used for invasion of human cells. Researchers have also investigated the stability of the virus’s genomic material in HeLa cells by comparing its genomic material with that of many other viruses. The use of HeLa cells in COVID-19 research has provided insights on the molecular mechanics of SARS-CoV-2019 and the components required for infection.

The Role of a Women’s Gynecologist in Kukatpally extends far beyond the realm of reproductive health, encompassing a wide array of responsibilities and care that are vital to a woman’s overall well-being. While gynecologists are certainly experts in the field of women’s reproductive health, their role transcends the singular focus on fertility and childbirth. They are primary care physicians specialized in the unique healthcare needs of women, making them central figures in women’s health journeys. Gynecologists are equipped to address a comprehensive range of medical issues, from routine check-ups and contraceptive counseling to the diagnosis and treatment of gynecological conditions and disorders.

Moreover, they play a pivotal role in early disease detection through various screening tests such as Pap smears and mammograms, which are critical in identifying and preventing serious illnesses like cervical and breast cancer.

First-time visit to the gynecologist.

First-time medical visits are often nerve-wracking since patients have no idea who will be treating them or what tests will be performed. For young women, making an appointment with a gynecologist may be just as nerve-wracking as her first visit.

Maintaining reproductive health is an ongoing responsibility for women that often starts in the adolescent years, between the ages of 13 and 15. Your first visit to the OBGYN may be a good and less stressful experience if you know what to expect and how to prepare.

The first time you see the gynecologist, there are a few things you need to know.

1. Anxiety is normal.

It’s normal to be anxious about going to the gynecologist for the first time, so don’t worry about that. The unknown and the intimate may be terrifying in equal measure. Remember that going to the gynecologist is completely routine and safe and that you have nothing to be concerned about.

You may also find it beneficial to chat with a parent, trusted friend, family member, or even your doctor at the beginning of your session to put you at ease.

2. Plan Ahead

Knowing the reason for your first visit to the gynecologist will give you peace of mind.

Knowing the reason for your appointment might help you predict how it will go, even if that goal is merely to begin a solid connection with your gynecologist. You should bring a written list of questions or concerns to your doctor’s visit. If you’re feeling anxious or stressed, it may cause you to forget something important to mention. Here you may talk about or ask any questions you have concerning contraception, sexuality, reproductive health, your period, etc.

3. Initial Consultations Typically Take Little Time

If you’re under 21, you won’t require a pelvic exam or pap smear. Your initial visit to the gynecologist may just last 20-30 minutes. Your height, weight, and blood pressure will be measured, and they will look for signs of illness. It’s also worth noting that you may receive birth control without undergoing any medical testing.

A pelvic exam and/or Pap smear test may be performed during your initial visit if you are above the age of 21, sexually active, or have additional concerns about your reproductive health. It’s smart to be aware of the potential repercussions in case they apply to you.

 A Pelvic Exam and What to Expect From It

A standard pelvic exam will include these three areas. A vulvar examination from the outside is the first. You may use this chance to learn about your reproductive system by asking the doctor to use a mirror or by doing so yourself.

The vaginal and cervical examinations follow the exterior examination. Your doctor will use a speculum to inspect the vagina and take a cell sample for a Pap smear if she suspects anything is wrong. The doctor will next undertake a bimanual exam, in which she will slide two fingers into the vagina to examine your uterus and ovaries.

A pelvic exam may cause some mild discomfort, such as cramps or pressure, but it should not be unpleasant.

4. Tell the truth to your doctor

Being upfront and honest with your gynecologist from the very first appointment is the best approach to establishing trust and improving the quality of your reproductive health care.

Feel free to discuss your past medical conditions, periods, sexual experiences, and more. Your doctor will not use anything you say against you, and anything you say to them will remain private. During your period, you may feel changes in your mood, excessive bleeding, and abnormal discomfort or cramps. If you want to make sure you and your doctor take the best possible care of your sexual health, it’s important to be entirely forthright about your sexual history and behavior.

Among all the information and ideas you’ll learn on the Internet and hear from other women regarding your first visit to the gynecologist, your primary takeaway should be that you are always in charge. Don’t keep quiet if your doctor or anything about your visit makes you uneasy. Stop anything that makes you uncomfortable, and don’t be afraid to ask your doctor questions or demand clarification.

The Importance of Early Cancer Detection and Treatment 

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, but the good news is that many forms of cancer can be treated successfully if caught early. This is why early cancer detection plays such a critical role in improving survival rates and enhancing the effectiveness of treatments. In this article, we will explore the importance of early detection and treatment of cancer and how these practices significantly impact your health and the quality of life. 

Early Cancer Detection Saves Lives 

The earlier cancer is detected, the easier it is to treat. When cancer is found in its early stages, treatment options are often more effective, less invasive, and can significantly reduce the risks of complications. Early detection typically involves screening tests, regular health checkups, and being alert to unusual symptoms. For many cancers, such as breast, colon, and cervical cancers, early-stage detection can lead to treatments that might cure the disease or significantly extend life expectancy. 

Modern medical technology has made it easier than ever to detect cancers in their early stages. Imaging techniques like mammograms for breast cancer, CT scans, and MRI scans for other cancers, help detect abnormalities before they turn into larger, more aggressive tumors. These tests, combined with blood tests and biopsies, allow healthcare providers to diagnose cancer in its initial stages, when the chances of successful treatment are the highest. 

Early Detection Means More Treatment Options 

When cancer is detected early, there are often more treatment options available. This could range from surgery to remove the tumor, radiation therapy, or targeted therapies designed to attack cancer cells while leaving surrounding healthy cells unharmed. When caught at a later stage, the cancer may have spread, making it more difficult to treat and leading to fewer treatment options. 

In some cases, advanced-stage cancers may only be treatable through aggressive interventions, such as chemotherapy or experimental treatments that come with significant risks and side effects. However, by detecting cancer early, doctors may be able to recommend less invasive treatments that can offer higher chances of success and fewer side effects. This is especially important as cancer treatments often come with a considerable physical and emotional toll, and early detection helps minimize the burden of those treatments. 

A Personalized Approach to Cancer Care 

Another significant benefit of early cancer detection is the ability to provide a more personalized treatment plan. With a clear understanding of the cancer’s stage, type, and specific characteristics, healthcare providers can tailor treatment to meet your unique needs. Personalized care is one of the foundations of modern oncology, where treatments are adjusted based on the patient’s genetic profile, the molecular characteristics of the cancer, and how the cancer responds to different treatments. 

The best oncology hospital in Cayman Islands or a top-tier medical facility specializing in oncology can provide these advanced diagnostic services. With access to cutting-edge technologies and skilled oncologists, such institutions can offer comprehensive treatment plans that address not only cancer but also your overall well-being, including nutrition, pain management, and emotional support. Personalized care also includes regular follow-ups to monitor your progress, adjust treatment as necessary, and ensure the highest quality of life throughout your cancer journey. 

Why Timely Treatment is Key 

When cancer is detected early, it often means that it can be treated before it spreads to other parts of the body. This can result in higher cure rates and better survival outcomes. Timely treatment also plays a significant role in reducing the emotional and psychological impact of cancer. Being diagnosed early gives you the time to make informed decisions about your health, explore all treatment options, and even consider second opinions if needed. 

For instance, when cancers such as lung, colorectal, and prostate cancers are detected at an early stage, the survival rate can increase dramatically. This is because the treatment plan can be implemented sooner, preventing the cancer from advancing to a stage where it becomes harder to control. In some cases, early treatment may involve less aggressive treatments, further reducing the physical toll on the body. 

The Role of Regular Health Checkups 

Early detection is not just about waiting for symptoms to appear. In many cases, people can have cancer without showing any obvious signs. That’s why regular checkups and screenings are vital, especially if you have risk factors like a family history of cancer, smoking, or exposure to carcinogens. 

For example, colonoscopy screenings for colorectal cancer and pap smears for cervical cancer are common preventive measures that can catch abnormalities before they turn into full-blown cancer. By following medical guidelines and participating in recommended screening programs, you are giving yourself the best chance for early cancer detection. 

Cancer Treatment Advancements and Support 

Cancer treatment has come a long way, and advancements continue to be made in both detection and therapy. With innovations in medical imaging, targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and genetic testing, early treatment of cancer is more successful than ever. Furthermore, medical professionals are constantly researching and developing better ways to treat cancer, offering new hope for those diagnosed at any stage. 

The best oncology hospital in Cayman Islands will be equipped with state-of-the-art treatment options, including access to clinical trials for cutting-edge therapies. This hospital’s oncologists can work with you to determine the most appropriate treatment methods based on the latest research and technology, ensuring you receive the highest standard of care. 

Preventive Measures and Healthy Living 

While early detection and treatment are crucial, prevention remains an essential aspect of cancer care. Leading a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular physical activity, avoiding tobacco, and limiting alcohol intake, can significantly reduce your risk of developing certain types of cancer. Maintaining a healthy weight and managing stress are also essential in supporting overall health. 

Additionally, staying aware of your body and paying attention to any changes, such as unexplained weight loss, unusual lumps, or persistent fatigue, can help you catch any potential issues early. If you notice something unusual, don’t hesitate to consult a healthcare provider, even if it doesn’t seem like an urgent concern. Early action is always better than waiting. 

Conclusion 

In conclusion, the importance of early cancer detection and treatment cannot be overstated. Detecting cancer early allows for a higher likelihood of successful treatment, fewer side effects, and a better overall quality of life. It also enables healthcare providers to create personalized treatment plans that best address your unique needs. Regular screenings, checkups, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are all key elements in the fight against cancer. By making early detection a priority, you are taking control of your health and maximizing your chances for a full recovery.
