78 years old and under decided about taking hormone therapy at my age. Chances of it coming back. It’s a recurrence now. I chose not to take it the last time of side effects. I tried it and it didn’t work for me..

Great video! Would love to see one on AIs. Have to start taking it after being on tamoxifen for 2 yrs. I read the side effects and the list is horrific! Stressing me out…

I’m 77 years and I really don’t want to take this. Just wondering how long it takes for it to come back.

I am so very grateful for Dr. Robertson for her guidance for anyone going through breast cancer

Thanks for the video. What is the 3rd test which is for everyone who’s not under treatment? Thanks

This video is so good; it should be part of the curriculum.

Thank you for paying attention to the whole person. I got diagnosed with DCIS, stage 0, grade 1, in my right breast on 3/29/2024, following bilateral biopsies. . At first it felt like I was rushed, to see the surgeon, to schedule a date, etc. I decided I needed a 2nd opinion, which was the best thing possible. It gave me time to breathe, to do research on DCIS, to find the decision making tools I need to make treatment decisions. I had a lumpectomy last Thursday (6.13.2024), and waiting for the pathology report is hard. But I have real trust in my team, backed up by the 2nd opinion at Mayo Clinic, so I hope I can move ahead with whatever the next step is. I have a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, & am used to processing lots of info, but the best thing I've done so far was to slow the process down long enough to get good information, & to be able to manage my anxiety well enough to think straight. I appreciated your straightforward approach, & how important it is for the patient to be seen as a person & to be a partner in decision making.

could watch your content for days

mem your video not seo

You do amazing work!! Thank you❤

What about Aromatase? You mostly talked about Tamoxifen. I’m very interested about Aromatase.😏

You got a very bad audio system. A lot a noise liked your flushing the toilet.

When the dr says hormone positive cancer relapses more often, later 5-10 years; is this with pre menopause women or menopausal or both?

What is the drug that starts with a V? I tried to Google…but nothing comes up.

This is so important for everyone to know about it

I think it is pathetic that med onc and Big Pharma only have more harm to offer us as women who find themselves in this ongoing world of BC, no matter if we have had our breasts amputated! We deserve better. I have researched diet,natural estrogen blockers and supplements to help estrogen metabolism. My onc does not educate at all on diet and exercise. Its criminal. I am a retired RN and very upset how women are treated. I do find it ODD that even thought many BC are also Progesterone Receptive, there is NO mention of what to do about those levels? Could it be Pharma does not have a Poison to offer us for decreasing or blocking Progesterone? I believe that wld also be detrimental to our quality of life. There has to be more to offer us, how about a cure or Prevention !! Pink ribbons, Right!

Interesting about pharmacists. Mine could care less.

I don’t need cataracts as I’m already getting shots in my eyes for wet macular degeneration!!

I’m 5 weeks into Anastrozole and my oncologist is giving me a 2 weeks break. Insomnia, joint pain, dizziness, nausea and blurred vision became overwhelming. Not happy about all this, but grateful my oncologist is giving me a 2 week break and then will cut my dosage in half. He’s working with me which I appreciate.

IF YOU HAVE CANCER CK OUT JOE TIPPENS CANCER PROTOCOL FENBENDAZOLE RIGHT AWAY, FENBENDAZOLE REDUCES AND KILLS CANCER CELLS WITH OUT ANY SIDE EFFECTS AND CAN BE USED AS A PROPHYLACTIC AGAINST CANCER.AND JESUS LOVES YOU ❤❤❤.

Thank you for covering ILC. I was diagnosed in 2022, and it is hard to find information on this type of cancer.

This was such an interesting and educational presentation. Thank you to Dr. Rosen and the host.

I refused hormone treatment. My family doctor advised me to eat ground flaxseed. This was an unusual conversation to have with her. The gynecologist continues to recommend hormones again and again. There are many things in nature that help. As long as it's part of my usual diet, I won't let it stop me. Much of Asian cuisine is good for a healthy life also.

I felt like a statistic. No help after my treatment.

I was diagnosed with IDC in 2022. ER/PR positive, HER negative. Had a double mastectomy in February 2022. My cancer was sent off for recommend treatment chemotherapy treatment. I had 3 types of chemotherapy for 12 treatments. Couldn’t do radiation because of my pacemaker. I was put on aromasin therapy for 10 years. My endo predict is 55% chance of distance recurrence. I am having awful side effects from the medication. I have just stopped it about a week ago. I’m hoping that I made the best decision. Any advice?

So grateful for Dr. ROBERTSON!!

So, a quick google search of lowest dosage of tamoxifen for breast cancer prevention and recurrence efficacy came up with several papers and studies they've done in Sweden and Britain, of course not the US, where they acknowledge that tamoxifen at 20 and even 10 mg is not efrective bc women stop taking it due to the side effects. So, they studied 1 mg, 2.5 mg, and 5 mg. Turns out that 2.5 mg and 5 mg are just as, if not MORE effective than anything higher bc it doesn't need to be at the brink of toxicity to be effective, bc women suffered less from aide effects, so they actually took the drug for its full course. There you go. As oncologists, you should be freaking googling all this info daily so you can update your SOC to best serve your patients and their families population.

Yes, a discussion of natural alternatives is critical. Also, with pharmaceutical drugs/meds, they test for max amount that can be prescribed right at the threshold of toxicity. They don't test for minimum amount needed for efficacy, and for routine personal hormonal testing to see if it's even being effective for each particular patient, or if even needed. It's great you mentioned that 10 mg is effective! Testing for lowest dosage needed for efficacy needs to be thrle norm, not the exception. This would ensure lower side effects and increase patient compliance.

Would have been interesting to hear more about AI's

Such great information. The only problem is that very few of us have that “go to expert” to help us through this journey of survivorship. I was diagnosed with Invasive Lobular Cancer and my treatment has been decided by general surgeons and oncologists that don’t even specialize in breast cancer, let alone lobular cancer. I am trying to gain knowledge through presentations like this, but now I need to find a team of specialists that will work with me on exploring options. The search goes on….

So grateful for this very important interview!

This was really helpful from the UK. THANK YOU.

Enhanced precision and accuracy: Wire-Free surgical marker navigation provides surgeons with a more accurate and precise guidance system during breast lumpectomy procedures. This results in improved targeting, ensuring that the surgical intervention is precisely directed to the affected area.

I fortunately know a lot about cancer because of our family history of cancer 🧬 I’m the 25th (4 generations) on our family cancer tree & the 13th of them being breast cancers 🧬 So at age 40 I had a hysterectomy hoping to avoid breast cancer because I knew the breast cancers were hormone driven 🧬 but, at age 59 (2018) I found a small nodule it was about 4 months after my mammogram 😶 “All” (Including MRI) the tests came back as benign but, I wanted it removed & in recovery, my surgeon noted not to be worried it looked benign but, 4 days later she called that it was cancer & it actually had “2” cancers inside the nodule 🙈😮🥺😳😶 I Needed another surgery to remove the margins, check the lymph nodes & internal radiation 🥴 4.5 yrs later I found another small nodule & again “all” tests came back as benign but, again I wanted it out (My drs thought I was being over cautious )…The surgeon agreed to remove it & this time pathology hadn’t come back in 4/5 days & noted they needed to run more tests & we’re considering a second opinion 😶 It was cancerous & had mutated / didn’t look like the first one 🧬 So, I chose a DMX with reconstruction / completed July 14th 2023….I was due to start the hormone blockers & I was going to start them after the holidays but, if what if I end up with a lot of side affects…I will discontinue 🙏🏻 Then just before the holidays we found out my oldest daughter 47 yrs old had a breast biopsy came back as cancer (She only had a partial hysterectomy / never had kids) 😭 She’s the start of the 5th generation 💔 My mom had ovarian cancer at 36 (Hysterectomy) & breast cancer at 46 (Single mastectomy) & just turned 94 in October 💝😉🥳🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 (She had only had a partial) 😶🧬💝🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Be your own advocate….if your feeling off // get it checked out & don’t just swallow “it’s nothing” & well just watch it 🥴😶😳🙏🏻 About half of the breast cancers in our family & including my daughter have gone through genetic testing & come up negative 😶🤔🥺😩🧬🧬🧬🙏🏻

For all these patients and in particular those with circulating cancer cells, how about complementary metabolic therapy, ie ketogenic diet and fasting....

Funny how Dr. Singh failed to mention diet to reduce estrogen, natural supplements and that some estrogen is necessary for our immune health, etc. Instead he spoke manly of dealing with side effects or possibly switching to another AI which has its own negative side effects.

What are the alternatives for the AIs? I too am a rebel and seek other options! Thank you so much, Cynthia for helping to educate us and being an advocate for a better way!

This is so interesting and so important for all women to know!

I had Brest cancer almost 2yr ago and my Dr wanted me to take this meds and I said no to many side aff..

They dont tell you that these blockers cause,if you have diabetes,higher a1c numbers So if i take it i will need another drug for diabetes and 3 other meds to combate the other side effects. Its ridiculous. All theyvwant to do is had you pills thrn more pils on these blockers you digest fat differently get a belly. They didnt do chemo because theyvwere worried about side effects cause of 77 but they will me a blocker that raises my blood sugar and i need 3 orher drugs makes no se

Thanks you two! I agree about who to go to when you are taking either therapy. My oncologist who I see every 6 months doesnt appear to be interested in any side effects and tells me to tell my doctor who doesnt have much knowledge, so I am left in the wilderness.

Since the original branded AI is so expensive, can I switch to the generic one on my own without consulting my oncologist? I was told they are the same. Same ingredients except generic is much cheaper.

such an informative page

So grateful for this very special interview ❤

Suggestion for both of you, read the book 'Estrogen Matters" by Dr Avrum Bluming th-cam.com/video/xPEcNridthc/w-d-xo.html
