hormone
Hi,
How are you? There are many options for breast cancer treatment and several factors such as type of breast cancer, its stage, whether the cancer cells are sensitive to hormones, patient's overall health and medical condition that needs to be considered. After diagnosis, most women undergo surgery for breast cancer and receive additional treatment, such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy or radiation. Aggressive and early treatment usually results to remission. Take care and best regards.
me and my husband have been ttc for over a year and we havent got lucky i started to take prenatal vitamins last 2014 and then I stopped for like 3 months i am currently taking prenatal vitamins again and for the past three weeks my breast have been really sore and sensitive to my clothes bra and anything that touches them . my nipples have been really sore as well. they feel heavy and its like a growing pain that has been going on for a while.
Two weeks after my hysterectomy a painful lump showed up in my breast next to the nipple. It was painful and swelled up to the point where I could see it without touching it. It was very sensitive. However, it went away after 1 1/2 weeks. I am now on an all natural hrt that has done wonders for me without all the dangerous side affects of clinical hrts. What I am wondering is, should I be worried, what could have been the cause?
I pretty intune with my body so I notice changes and I have noticed in the last three days that my breast are swollen and super-sensitive all over and it is not even near my time of the month, I have another 13 days still Aunt Flo comes. I am also feeling foggy-headed and tired more so then normal and nauseous and bloated. Could this be pre-menopause or early signs of pregnancy, if I'm preggers it would be like only 3 to 4 days at the most.
Wondering if anyone out there has been treated for hep c while treating for breast cancer.
I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, and will be getting radiation treatment (short term) as well as hormone medication (long term).
I am planning to take the hep c treatment when the new PI ( telaprevir or boceprevir) is available; the hep c treatment will coincide with the hormone medication.
If anyone has any info to share please let me know.
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - After approximately 8 years, postmenopausal women with hormone-sensitive breast cancer who received (Arimidex), generically known as anastrazole, had a lower risk of recurrence than women taking tamoxifen, investigators reported at the annual meeting of the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.
After an average of 68 months, women on Arimidex had a 15-percent greater disease-free survival and a 25-percent longer time to disease recurrence than women on tamoxifen.
I have a concern about my breasts enlarging, and they are mildly sensitive. (They are not in pain, nor hurt to the touch, but I can tell they are more sensitive.) This is a new development, as of yesterday, July 17. I have taken two at home pregnancy tests (First Response, neither are expired and stored in a place affected by heat & humidity, I administered both tests per the instructions. Plus I did them first thing in the morning, making sure to get as much hormone level as possible.
It could be signs of pregnancy depending on how sensitive your body is to the pregnancy hormone... I have hyper Emesis which causes me to be very hyper sensitive the the hormone.. iWork my 1st pregnancy I spit vomited and had every symptom possible the whole 9 months... What most women don't kno is that your body can ovulate any time as long as your not blding... . I hs with my husband on day 6 omc 7.8&11 I have been feeling flutters and cramping in my lower abdomen since then..
DHEA can cause higher than normal levels of androgens and estrogens in the body, and theoretically may increase the risk of prostate, breast, ovarian, and other hormone-sensitive cancers. Therefore, it is not recommended for regular use without supervision by a licensed health professional."
So maybe you should talk with you doctor. A prenatal vitamin is always good though!
Having a lot of these receptors (or a positive ER/PR) indicates that the cancer is hormone-sensitive and would benefit from treatment which would counteract the effects of estrogen stimulation. Since you're ER/PR negative, this means that your tumor is not sensitive to hormonal effects, and so you would not benefit from treatment with Tamoxifen or similar drugs. HER-2NEU refers to a type of epidermal growth factor receptor also found on the surface of cancer cells.
I have been nauseated, tender breast, food craving etc. Im supposed to b only 3 weeks 4 days pregnant. Could the blood test been wrong?
It's caused by increased blood flow. Because of your hormone level's changing constantly there is just more blood flow to the breasts. I would suggest some lotion.
Breast cysts as well as Fibroadenomas can be quite painful but aside from removal or drainage there are some things you can due to reduce this discomfort. As a rule breast cancer is NOT associated with pain unless it has metastisized to other organs. These cystic conditions are often related to the hormone levels in the body. I'm sure the upcoming Mammogram and Ultrasound will help clear this up for you. Regards ....
Her doctor probably didn a pregnancy test before inserting the Mirena. Anything is possible, but it could just be her body adjusting to the IUD and there is a little hormone in Mirena so that could be part of it as well. she can always go on their website to look at side effects.
Hello,
Yam is supposed to be used for vaginal dryness but Hormone-sensitive condition such as breast cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, endometriosis, or uterine fibroids may become aggravated by using this herbal drug and hence you should not use it without medical guidance.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.
The various causes of breast soreness are premenstrual syndrome, hormone therapy, pregnancy and breast feeding, fibrocystic disease, use of oral contraceptives and rarely a breast malignancy. To confirm the status of pregnancy get your serum HCG levels checked.

That could certaining stimulate changes in the breast tissue. The MRI is a more sensitive (reveals more, but sometimes results in false postives) than the US, so it may help clarify for your doctor what is going on.
