One of my problems is that my dr sees menopause as a pathology, a disease. Although I had always thought of menopause as just a "natural" phase of a female's life, this dr's attitude makes me feel that I am no longer a woman, just a walking pathology with nothing to look forward to but bodily and mental decay. She does not appear to listen when I tell her about any problems and tends to send me for intrusive tests.
Pathology report shows infiltrating mammary carcinoma, no special type, low combined histologic grade, Low proliferative rate with apocrine cytology, measuring at least 6MM in greatest extent (best measrued on P63 IHC Slide) Calponin and P63 show absence of myoepithelial cells int he neoplastic tubules, consistent with an invasive interpretation. Immunohistochemical studies for estrogen receptor and progesteron receptor are negative.
My questions: No special type? What does that mean?
His ENT dr wants him to take speech therapy, but his voice comes back for a little while. He has been like this for 5 weeks now. Can anyone help with what maybe going on?
I choose to have a PBM on 8/3/09 with immed. implants. I got the pathology back and i would just like get some clarifications on the pathology. Both surgereons will only go on about what a smart decision that I made and I am happy with it but i would just like to know for myself and my 8 yr old daughter how dangerous were these results.

I agree with Sue Young, Debbie. I considered looking this up for you, as this information is randomly available on cancer websites, or if you google bc staging, and stuff like that. But I decided against doing this for you, because this needs to be explained to you by your doctor in person.
s thyroiditis have tongue issues that has/had an impact on your speech? I have the scalloped appearance to my tongue, a swollen feeling near the back and underneath the tongue which affects my speech. Did the thyroid meds fix the problem and if so, how long did it take?
Ive noticed over the past few years that my speech is slured and i connot preanounce words like i once was able to. Has anyone else had these problems with a thyroid disorder?Or is this a sign or more than that, like a pituitary problem or something else. My tsh is now about in the 1-2 range and i still dont feel right on armour and i never felt right on levothyroxine.My body just doesnt seem to cope well with these meds.
I had my regular mamogram a few weeks ago and after radiologist suggested u/s and then core biopsy. The pathology report came back as fibrocystic changes with adenosis but the radiologist felt the films were discordant with pathology and sent me to a breast surgeon. The surgeon declared that the lump in my breast was "worrisome" and scheduled me for surgical removal of entire lump with margins. I had surgery on Monday.
I can interpret some of my pathology report, but I wanted to see if there was any other feedback from you experts who have been through this. My follow up appt. with my ENT surgeon is on Monday and I'd like to be ready with questions. Can anyone offer any comments or recommended questions I should ask? My dr. told me I would be doing RAI so I'm current off my Levoxyl. Thank you all so much for your continued support.

So, around this time last year I experienced tingling in my left hand that lasted for a few days, coupled with extreme fatigue. Days later, I developed nystagmus only upon waking that lasted for about 10 minutes or so. That eventually went away after about a month. About six months later I had a severe headache that migrated to my right eye and lasted for over a week. Went to an optometrist, no optic neuritis.
Do bulbar symptoms----slurred speech, strained voice, swallowing problems, ever get better----do they come and go when cause by als?
I am sceduled for a sureon consult prior to biopsy and am curious as to why I need to meet for a discussion with a surgeon prior to the biopsy which will obviously not have pathology report right away either. Also, if it is an adenoma won't they want to remove that so it does not turn into cancer in the future? I wish they would come up with something faster because this is stressful no matter how many people tell you not to worry.
My mother had a biopsy about two months ago and the pathology report notes that the axillary mass( a firm gray white mass 10 cm C/S solid gray white, Under the microscopic result: FibrousFibrous dysplasia stroma infiltrated by atypicalAtypical pneumonia cells forming, papillae, glands, solid sheets. Moderate amount of mitosis seen. Axilla-Moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. My firstF question is, is there any way to conclude that this is breast cancer?
My brother had a stroke in June 07 at the age of 28. Couple of questions with some points of history:
- Damage to L side of brain.
- Much of R side affected including speech.
- Positive note... he does comprehend, has decent hip control on R side which allows him to walk with brace/other aids, and has some R shoulder control.
- He is working hard on OT, PT, and speech and has shown some recovery... very slow, but it is there.
My daughter just turned 3 a few weeks ago. While she typically talks in 4-5 word sentences and displays an average vocabulary, I think she is struggling with some comprehension issues. If asked a question she doesn't know the answer to, she will automatically answer yes as opposed to thinking about it or responding with ''I don't know.'' I think she knows she's supposed to have an answer, but doesn't know what to do when she doesn't get what you are saying.
