Common Questions and Answers about Breast cancer zero stage

Another breast cancer Website had an article that mentioned Stage V in its title, but not in the article itself. After I pointed out the error to them, they indicated they would make a correction. (They also mentioned that some people "unofficially" talk about Stage V when there is nothing more that can be done except palliative treatment.) I also came across a Website for alternative/herbal tx that unofficial stage designation.
This will help doctors figure out a woman’s risk of early-stage, estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer coming back (recurrence), as well as how likely she is to benefit from chemotherapy after breast cancer surgery.Please read the information I added for you.
"The Oncotype DX screening test is performed on each tumor sample to get the Recurrence Score.
Hi,You are right,there is NO stage 5 breast cancer...what your friend might have heard is that her BIRADS score is a 5...(.BIRADS are used by radiologist to categorize the imagery seen on mammograms and they give a score from 1 to 5.A score of five means that the lesion seen in the mammogram or ultrasound ,is highly suspicious of malignancy..but a biopsy is the only test that will give an accurate diagnosis.As Versh mentioned the breast cancer stage goes only up to 4.

Hi,
I am sorry to hear that your sister had to battle breast cancer at the age of 28. Breast cancer in younger women tends to be more agressive than that occuring in the older age group.
The fact that she had bilateral synchronous cancers at a young age is worrying. However, if a full oncologic surgery is complete, along with chemo and now radiation, then I can assume that she is being treated with a curative intent. Also, you mentioned that she will be put on hormones.
I have diagnosed with DCIS stage zero in two areas of my breast, and I have to decide if I want to do a quandractectomy (with 25% chance of having to have a mastectomy after the 1st.surgery depending of the findings) or I do now the mastectomy.
Did anyone had similar experience and could give me a feed back? Thank you!
My brother was diagnosed to have Stage III Breast Cancer..he underwent Modified Radical Mastectomy & his histopath results showed positive ER/PR/Her2Neu...what exactly does triple positive test results mean in lay man's term? ESTROGEN RECEPTOR ASSAY = POSITIVE, STAINING INTENSITY=+2, PERCENT TUMOR CELLS STAINED=+5, PROGESTERONE RECEPTOR ASSAY=POSITIVE, STAINING INTENSITY=+3, PERCENT TUMOR CELLS STAINED=+4, c-erb-B2 (Her-2/neu) =POSITIVE...
of microcalcifications (DCIS) - (12 centimeters to be exact) an early stage of breast cancer. The right breast was also starting on its way as well. I had a double mastectomy in June and am blessed that it did not spread and I did not need further treatment. My sisters, on the other hand spread to her lymph nodes, she has had her surgery and now awaits chemo.
So please, mammograms do save lives - they both saved my sister and I. (our first mammograms to boot).
The connection between Ovarian cancer and Breast Cancer might be due to some form of treatment but when Breast Cancer spreads it is to organs such as Brain, Bone,Lung,Liver, etc. ... NOT the ovaries. You might also remember that Breast Cancer can have little if no symptoms in the early stages. The risk is YOURS !! Regards ....
I was Diganosed with stage 2B Triple negative breast cancer in December 19, 2006.All my tests came back one positive node and the cancer in left breast. I had Chemo then before I finished Chemo the cancer came back to the same 2 areas.Then I had a masectomy followed by more chemo and 7 weeks of radiation. Just recently I asked my Oncologist to order another Pet Scan just to make sure everything was going good. The first Pet scan in August 22, 2007 came back negative.
My Mom was diagnose with stage one breast cancer last "July 08" and as of now she hasn't gone for breast surgery as previously advise by her doctor to avoid remaining cancer in spreading into her system. It is possible for cancer cell to spread out within months and affect her system?
She has asthma,and lately we notice that most of the time she has seizure and it's too often. It is possible that the cause of these is the cancer cell already spread into her system ?
Hi - I had a TAH in 2006 and they found the washings were malignant but it had not invaded my ovaries. What does stage 1C mean? My CA125 was 504 prior to surgery and the tumer was 7x4". Is that considered cancer? The reason why I am asking is I worry about breast cancer and other problems. I have developed a severe case of fibromyalgia since the surgery and have never really felt good.
im so scared i had pain in left breast and under the arm just got results for fybroid tumors and calcificationtumors could i have the stage of cancer

I recently have had a scare with a mass in my breast (significant breast cancer in family, too). I had one physician recommend a prophylactic bilateral mastectomy as well. I don't think I am even willing to consider that at this point, but the hysterectomy/oophorectomy has my attention.
What are your thoughts?
