- Olivia Munn bravely shared her breast cancer story with the world this past week and there are so many lessons we can learn from her that can potentially be life saving!
I talk about her story of how she went from a clear mammogram to being diagnosed with breast cancer two months later as well as the Breast Cancer Risk Assessment she did that led to her finding the cancer and my own scores after I tried it myself!
Please note: these risk assessment tools are not for women with a previous diagnosis of breast cancer, DCIS, LCIS etc.
To access the Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool click here: bcrisktool.cancer.gov/calcula...
While this is the tool Olivia's doctor used - there are many other risk assessments ie. like the IBIS risk tool that can be used that go through more questions than the Breast Cancer Risk Assessment tool including height, weight, use of hormone replacement therapy, breast density etc.
For this online tool click here: ibis-risk-calculator.magview....
Just a reminder - the purpose of any of these tools is to inform you and does not tell you whether or not you will get breast cancer.
Please remember to speak to your doctor about these risk tools and scores to receive guidance on what your next steps should be.
Lastly - her wish was to help others with her story - please share her story because we never know who it may help.
Hope this helps and empowers you,
Dr. Becky ND

I have seen a lot of videos from doctors here on TH-cam that explain how to starve Cancer.I wish you all the best God bless you
I’ve been NED for 28+ years. Thank you! 🥰
The same thing happened to me!I had a mammogram Dec.2019,and I was sent a letter stating no evidence of disease.In the second week of Feb.i saw a dark area under my armpit.I made an appt.for a biopsy and found out after the surgery,that I had advanced breast
Cancer.
I’m so sorry you went through that and just sending you so much love. I can imagine how devastating and shocking that must have been! Olivia’s story could have absolutely changed had her doctor not gone further and hoping her story can help others too!
@drbeckynd yes I was blindsided by this.When I was young,I had dense breast but I don't have dense breast now.Thank you Dr.for caring and responding.I actually am a 30.5 year survivor of stage 2b breast cancer.So I am one of the 30% who go on after being treated to develop another serious cancer later.
@@deborahbizzell1989 thank you so much for sharing - you have been through so much! I'm wishing you so much abundance and health!
I empathize. I had a mammo, bone density and ultrasound in Feb 22. Everything was clear. In Dec 22 broke my arm and was diagnosed with MBC. On a positive note. Completely chemo weekly for 12 weeks. Now on tamoxifen, not nice but currently cancer markers are well within normal range. PET scan shows major improvement. Very blessed 🙌
Thank you do much for sharing this. I learned i have very dense breasts. I felt something "not right" in my R breast spring 2022. Made sppt to see my primary Dr. He suggested a mammogram. July, results came back, i was told clear & i was good to go. I thought ok, my tisdue is just weird. But it was still srnsitive & my intuition was telling me it wasn't ok. I called to see my Dr again because i was concerned. He agreed, so had me make an appt for 3D Mammogram & ultrasound. Sept - mammogram done & I was told again, everything looked fine & I could go. I was told by the tech the Radiologist said i didn't need the ultrasound. What???
By now i feel a lump, so i ask the tech, what about the lump? She responds, have you talked to your Dr about that?
Oh my Lord, you can't make this stuff up! This place made me feel like i was going crazy in the head!
This place even sent me a letter stating everything was fine & to schedule my next mammogram in a year.
I cannot imagine what would have happened had i not done anything further & waited another year!
So finally, DEC 2022, I was able to get the ultrasound! That radiologist was very concerned & said he had wished the previous radiologist did the ultrasound 😞
The biopsy 18 days later revealed Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, Grade 3. Stage 2, but Petscan 2 months later showed Stage 3 or 4 (per my Oncologist).
Unbelievable!
I feel lucky to be alive!
Thank you so much for sharing!! I’m so sorry you went through that and so glad you kept pushing! I always say you know your body best so good on you for being a loud advocate for yourself! Wishing you continued health and abundance.❤️
For me here in morocco it was the opposite I just had a visit to my gynaecologist to check my perimenopause symptoms he checked my uterus with an ultrasound he had in office, checked my breast with just hands but couldn’t feel anything but still asked for a mammogram and ultrasound, so I went for them 3 days after and 2 days later had the results showing a suspicious lump of 7mm then 2 days later had an ultrasound guided biopsy which took 2 weeks to show a lump with calcification then he asked for immunohisthemic markers which showed breast cancer oestrogen and progesterone positive and hers2 negative with ki 67 10% so now I have to see the oncologist Friday to discuss the treatment and I still don’t feel any lump or change in my breast, and I will be the first person in my whole family with cancer and I don’t know what to think my mum is 84 never had a mammogram or anything, my sister is 65 and same never had any also so I don’t know what to think am I lucky cause I found out before it’s too late or I may have lived with a very slow growing cancer that was there for ten years and never worry about of course I am gonna do the lumpectomy now that I know but the worries about recurrence are there even though my doctor is really nice and told me there will be no recurrence and I shouldn’t worry so I hope we finish with this soon and hope you never worry about it either and don’t forget that most breast cancer never reoccur
@@ummtaimann6819 thank you for sharing and I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I can imagine how stressful it may be but prayers and love your way!❤️
Your audio is to soft.
Thank you for that feedback! I’ll try to modify that next time :)
Too many exams; life is too short. If I am going to die of breast cancer, then, let it be. I am 57 years old and I am not going to set my life around my breasts. I am going to have my third diagnostic mammogram in a month, and that is all I am going to have done that day. No ultrasound, no biopsy, not anything else. My life is something more than mammograms.
I respect that everyone has their own opinions and choices that resonate with them. The one thing we can definitely agree on is life is indeed short. ❤️
I’m curious, Are u saying this while actively having breast cancer ?
@@RachelHarder-rp8io hi there! Great question - I had synovial sarcoma but work primarily with breast cancer patients. ❤️
I have seen a lot of videos from doctors here on TH-cam that explain how to starve Cancer.I wish you all the best God bless you
@@RachelHarder-rp8io Who says that I am having active breast cancer? Do you know what a Diagnostic mamogram is?
I will have my third diagnostic mamogram in the last 8 years. They always find a new something in the screening mamogram; therefore, I have to go back for a screening mamogram + ultrasound. I know what they are going to say once they are finished billing the insurance: oh, you are fine, but you need to comeback in 6 months for another diagnostic mamogram.
Breast cancer centers are just making money; they don't care about the patients.
