My links of Doctors are in place! Everyone has their medical and emotional act together, including me! I started my first pill of Arimidex anastrozole 1 mg..1 daily. This is suppose to starve the cancer mass. I can do anything,
if I can walk every a.m. that together with the pill will work wonders. One takes care of the medical and the walking takes care of my emotional and energy level..Both should be labeled "medicine"! Each of my doctors:
J.Bianchi/S. Goldish/C. Hechtman/R.Weiss are a fully loaded team. They each are in sinc with me in
explaining, teaching, helping, having back-up plans. This has made me feel like a load is lifted out of
my breast! I too, feel like a team player! I hope other women in a similar position will have that feeling early on in treatment of their cancer. Just think 47 years ago when I had cancer of the Thyroid..I was not even given an MRI..I feel better already! My followers of this blog, Bill, my rock and my family..all coming to my aid is super. Its like having a hug all day long! 3/17/2012 hugs back to you! Phyllis www.women70andover.com then hit blog!

DR. RICHARD WEISS ...ANOTHER SMART DR. A THREE HOUR EXAM!
This Dr. Weiss explained ever morsel to me..He had alot of plan B's to try. First of all I learned from him this mass I have is not attached to the wall of my chest. My lymph nodes are not affected. These two things are
a plus for me. The goal of healing is to take the estrogen away from my system. Dr. Weiss took me off my premerin daily dosage. This will stop feeding the mass. The goal is to starve the mass of estrogen and this will
shrink the mass and make it easier to remove. Dr. Weiss, instead put me on a daily Arimidex tablet. This will also deplete and rid me of estrogen, all shrinking the mass. The mass will be measured in three weeks to see if this is working. If not he has another drug I can try. What works for one person..does not work for the other.
For me and Dr. Weiss it was a very positive day. What a team I have! 3/16/12 ..Hugs, Phyllis www.women70andover.com

LOBULAR CANCER....TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT? phyllis
No set rules are for everyone..just stretch my mind..as I had some of these symptoms . The moment I felt
the hardness I went that moment for a mammogram . Had had a mammogram one year ago. Here are some guidelines from the Cancer Association. Perhaps this will help another woman out there.
the hardness I went that moment for a mammogram . Had had a mammogram one year ago. Here are some guidelines from the Cancer Association. Perhaps this will help another woman out there.
At first, invasive lobular carcinoma may not cause any symptoms. Sometimes, an abnormal area turns up on a screening mammogram (x-ray of the breast), which leads to further testing. Invasive lobular carcinomas tend to be more difficult to see on mammograms than invasive ductal carcinomas are. That’s because instead of forming a lump, the cancer cells more typically spread to the surrounding connective tissue (stroma) in a line formation.
In other cases, the first sign of ILC is a thickening or hardening in the breast that can be felt, rather than a distinct lump. Other possible symptoms include an area of fullness or swelling, a change in the texture of the skin, or the nipple turning inward.
According to the American Cancer Society, any of the following unusual changes in the breast can be a first sign of breast cancer, including invasive lobular carcinoma:
- swelling of all or part of the breast = I had this only..it was very difficult to see the swelling.phyllis
- skin irritation or dimpling
- breast pain
- nipple pain
- redness, scaliness, or thickening of the nipple or breast skin
- a nipple discharge other than breast milk
- a lump in the underarm area
- Please go for a mammogram ..just for the peace of mind factor..because CANCER IS POSSIBLE 3/15/12 www.women70andover.com hugs..phyllis
