I’ve heard of some ways to increase patients organism after the chemo, like healthy diets and regular excersises. Have you had any experience with these kinds of supplementary treatment?

Otto_Lee:
Recently I've read a study about how chemotherapy can be harmful for patients with breast cancer (here, under the name \"Radiation therapy leaves the most dangerous cancer cells ‘alive’\": http://paseka.us/alternative-cancer/). It says, that radiation therapy for breast cancer kills approximately the half of cancer cells, but the remaining breast cancer cells are being transformed into even more aggressive and dangerous cancer stem cells that are far more resistant to treatments. I it true? Have any of you read or heard anything about it? One of my distant relatives have a stage 4 breast cancer, it's pretty bad, and I am looking for any possible information on the subject.

Am not a doc and offer only my personal views.
I think all treatments come with some risk.
Chemo is to kills the bad cells and during the process, it kills the gd cells too.Hence, chemo makes patients weaker.

Cells are strange creatures and even doc dont fully understand them. They can grow out of control or deform - leads to cancer. They can mutate or become resistant to treatment. So I am not surprised that those cells that survive under chemo treatment become even stronger and hence even more dangerous.

Hi all,


Anyone has any recent experiences with the breast specialists?
I am in my 20s and recently discovered a solid nodule, which Dr Joy Lee has mainly advised to remove surgically. I am finding it hard to acknowledge this fact and even more afraid of surgeries...

Would like to seek a 2nd opinion. Appreciate anyone to recommend?
In no particular order:

(1) Dr Hoe Ah Leong
(2) Dr Tan Yah Yuen
(3) Dr Karen Yap

1. first, do no harm (treatment and diagnostic options should do no harm, if its too good to be true, its worth researching)
2. it must be sustainable (after year 2, what next?)
3. it must not impact your quality of life, as quality of life in the first 2 years, have severe impact on your longevity …
4. it must also improve the health of your family (given that breast cancer will drain your pockets no matter what the treatment option is, you would spend your money to one which, not only heals you but also prevents this from happening from any member of your family)… your family will be your strength… if their strength is being drained, how to survive?
5. it has to be a solution that the whole family would be involved with… cancer is not a one woman fight… its a struggle for the whole family… so the solution should be family wide…

so that in the end, you know that you have made a decision not because of guerilla marketing but a thoughtfully made one…

NICE-DAY:
if anyone read today's 'mind your body' at straits times... on a 28 year old lady... with breast cancer..

I hope more women read more than just what popular media says..

here is a blog of a woman with a rare cancer, not breast tho..but her mother have breast cancer, both mother and daughter live with cancer with dignity.. breast cancer is not a death sentence its just the last ditch effort of one's body to wake us up to sort our priorities..

But you would need to check her consultation hours because some sessions are run by another doctor. She did my first ever pap smear, and after so many years and 2 children later, I still go back to her for pap smear because I feel most comfortable with her. :imanangel:

I had that type of fleeting pain and even went for ultrasound, ECG for heart etc. Turned out it was GERD.


But get your breasts checked anyway once in 2 years. You need a mammogram if above 40yo.

KKH breast centre told me to approach any polyclinic or GP first then get a referral if I want a detailed screening.

No pain etc but just being kiasu…
