807129 tn?1245273527 Anyhow, she was recently also diagnosed with breast cancer (when it rains, it pours!), and she had a mastectomy. However, they did find some malignancy in her lymph nodes. My dad is worried about making a decision of how/whether to pursue treatment. He's worried about getting the advice from the oncologist and neurologist on the same page; whether anything with the MS will make it riskier for her to go through the treatments, etc. Does anyone have any insight/information on this?
Avatar f tn (the latest edition), and spoke to the people at the Monash University centre that specializes in drugs and breastfeeding information. It's considered one of the 'more compatible' drugs for breastfeeding, mostly due to the fact that it doesn't enter breastmilk well. Weight-adjusted infant dose is estimated at only around 0.45% of maternal dose.
Avatar f tn ) right now im working on trying to stay out of hospital and a drugs change as I like Seroquel and tolerate it well.
Avatar n tn I have Bipolar 2 and PMDD. I switched from Geodon to Lamictal in December 2010. Since that point, my depression has greatly improved and I feel like my old self. But, ever since I began Lamictal, the Lexapro that controlled the PMDD issue for years, stopped working. I'm now having severe PMDD issues every month. My doctor switched me from Lexapro to Viibryd a week ago. I am experiencing increased appetite, gastrointestinal distress, and can't sleep.

Avatar f tn (eg. chlorpromazine, thioridazine etc) and not with Seroquel (Quetiapine). However, I do caution against using Evening Primrose Oil for hair loss. From what I have read there does not seem to be any evidence supporting the use of Evening Primrose for hair loss. Some evidence suggests it may be useful for breast pain & for osteoporosis when combined with calcium supplementation.
Avatar m tn s CARE) done between 1994 and 1998 showed there was no increased risk of breast cancer in current or former users of birth control pills. Two newer studies (2011) confirm that oral contraceptives are not associated with breast cancer–specific or all-cause mortality. In general, most studies have not found an overall increased risk of breast cancer due to the use of oral contraceptives.

Avatar f tn Two nights ago I started to get a pain down my left arm and tingles in my left hand. My mum has both breast taken off to breast cancer. I am very frightened that I have this. What do you think?
Avatar f tn Congratulations on your eight years! I hate to be the one to say this but there is no such thing as "out of the woods" with cancer, I wish there was. What you've done is reduced your risk for another estrogen positive breast cancer and ovarian cancer. But that doesn't mean you won't get a different type of breast cancer in the remaining breast tissue or another part of your body. But you know as well as I do that each year we are NED with cancer is better for our odds.
Avatar f tn I am 55 years old had recttal cancer removed 4/o8, and luckly no bag and no treatment. I have dense breast with micro calcification. Had a biopsy of right breast 2 years ago and was fine. Went for mamo and sono this past Monday and they saw microcalcification that they say is suspicious. So next friday I go to the hospital for yet anothet biopsy. My question is, for my surgery in april for the rectal cancer I had a chest cat scan and a full body pet scan. Both came up good.
Avatar f tn m really scared. If I do have breast cancer how much will the treatment cost and how long do I have to be on treatment? What is breast cancer exactly? Please help!!!
Avatar f tn What is the difference if any, between BREAST CANCER STAGES and BREAST BIOPSY GRADES I, II, III. Are Breast Cancer stages the same as Grades? Thank you all !
Avatar n tn No, she does not have breast cancer, but you should have it checked out if this continues.
Avatar n tn It has been my understanding that mets is related to cancer cells being present in the lymphatic system and that a piece of a tumor breaking off would be almost unheard of in the case of Breast Cancer. I believe the original poster was speaking of RISK rather than actual occurrence.
720228 tn?1530911279 Lynch Syndrome has connection to many types of cancer ... Breast Cancer is NOT one of them. Breast pain is usually a result of hormone activity and I presume that since you had a baby just last year that you may not be over the age of 40 ..... Dense breast tissue is present in nearly half of all women of any age. This does not mean that you are at a higher risk for developing Breast Cancer.
1793863 tn?1325002184 Dear Ivankaivanova, I understand your concern, presumably after reading an article on MMTV (Mouse mammary tumor virus). However, though gene sequences of MMTV have been found in human breast and other cancers, its causality is not yet proven. The human-to-human transmission of MMTV causing breast cancer is even more hypothetical at this point. It is under research.

1568556 tn?1295490232 the question that i have been trying to get answerd to is that i had a mri on 1/161211 and on the report from the radiologist said in the clinical statement cancer of the right breast!..a 10 mm spiculated lession and a 8 mm spiculated legion on my left breast! i thought uyou had to have a biopsy to no if a mass is cancer or not.
Avatar f tn As this is a breast cancer forum our expertise regarding breast cancer. You may want to consider seeing a breast specialist for advise regarding this condition. These types of specialists are generally associated with large acedemic centers.
Avatar n tn The problem with this statement, is that male breast cancer seems to be such a rare occurrence in medicine, how does anyone really know? Breast cancer in men is a very slowly progressing disease, since it is encouraged by estrogen, men have little, therefore if they should get breast cancer it may well be a long time before symptoms occur. Two things: My surgeon said that my tumor was 7 years old, that was her guess.
Avatar n tn I've had taxotere adriamycin and cytoxin for breast cancer. I am now having some incontinence and think it may be part of the nerve damage I've experienced in my hands and feet (numbness). I feel like it's not a very common side effect (if that's what it is). I also have a weak voice for about a month. I go back to the Oncologist next month for some answers.
Avatar n tn I know when I speak of my family history, I always mention that my father and mother had breast cancer. If you have any daughters, they should be tested for the breast cancer gene. For some reason, my father having breast cancer was more important to my oncologist than my mother. For that reason I was sent for the BRACA tests. My father thought that he had an ingrown hair and showed it to his dermatologist. The dermatolgist sent him DIRECTLY to the surgeon and he too had a mastectomy.
Avatar f tn I had fibroadenoma removed from right breast. One year later I was diagnosed with cancer in left breast. I don't know if there was any connection but the irony of all that time worrying about my right side while a much bigger problem was developing on the left doesn't escape me.
663901 tn?1232649671 Yes when I was on Seroquel I had to get an eye exam each year due to the extremely rare risk of cataracts but I saw an opthamologist anyway so it was no big deal. That is statisically rare and no reason to be concerned about Seroquel and a check up as I suggested is the best form of follow up. Seroquel is safe in this regard. In this case (you know I am always factual) your pharmacist was overstating the risk but a follow up visit is generally a good idea.
Avatar f tn Since seroquel can cause high BG you sure your diabetic and not as a result of seroquel raising your BG? Go to Google and put seroquel into the serch field.
