Breast cancer treatment occurs in various stages. Normally, it depends much on how advanced the growth of the cancer cell is. A TNM staging is used to determine the stage of the cancer growth. It depends much on how much the cancer has metastases or spread to the other parts of the body. Based on this reading, the doctor will decide the best form of treatment for a patient.

Surgery

The most common type of surgery used to remove cancer cells is referred to as the conservative surgery. This occurs when a surgeon removes the cancerous tissues form the body of a patient and leaving the healthy ones intact. A sample of the nearby healthy tissues is also removed. The sample is sent to a laboratory for a reading test, If those reading comes out as normal or healthy then it simply means that the surgeon has been successful in removing the cancer cells.

Surgery is the most effective way however, it can severely disfigure a woman and leaves her feeling depressed and mutilated.

Hormone Therapy

Hormone therapy is used in cancer growth that has shown some degree of sensitivity to hormone treatment. Sometime, hormone therapy is used by doctors to reduce the size of the cancer before a surgery.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is another form of treatment for breast cancer. It makes use of powerful drugs to destroy cancer cells and retard the growth of cancer. There are few different variation used in chemotherapy treatment that a doctor would choose to use to deal with each every case he deals with. There are over fifty drugs being used in a chemotherapy treatment so a proper combination would be best to beat the further growth and kill of existing cancer cells.

However chemotherapy can make a patient fall really sick and some rest time should be given to enable healthy cells to recuperate after cancer cells are killed off. Normally, chemotherapy is administered in short doses and frequent breaks are used to enable patients to recover between treatments before another session commences.

Because of your cancer experience, you now know as never before how precious life is. And it begs the question: how do you want to spend the rest of your life? If you’re like many survivors, the answer is “thoughtfully.” Some of the women I work with following a cancer diagnosis turn their lives upside down, while others discover that their lives are exactly as they want them. Still others adjust certain areas of their lives, to find more fulfillment. But almost all of them, in my experience as a life, business and results coach, use their diagnosis as an opportunity to examine their lives. They look at what is working, what isn’t and begin navigating the next stage of their heroine’s journey.

What’s behind all this? A cancer diagnosis, or any life threatening illness is often re-orienting and can bring about a massive change of priorities. It raises questions about what really matters to the survivor, which may or may not be different than to the person they were b.c. (before cancer). A cancer diagnosis, or any life threatening illness can:

-Raise questions about the meaning of life and tests the bonds of relationships.

-Bring an end to a phase of life.

-Provide survivors with an opportunity to learn why they are here and what and who really matters.

-Serve as a wakeup call to examine what has been resisted and;

-Give survivors permission to shift their priorities. They may see the truth of what matters, who matters, and what they have been doing with their lives.

Having asked these questions, what can survivors do to enhance the quality of their lives and to live it more authentically, on their terms? The first place to start is with your level of satisfaction with your life. Because this is an article and not a coaching session, I won’t outline all of the steps you could take if you chose to make some adjustments. Instead, I’ll will focus on eliminating what you don’t want so there is more room for what you do want.

A coaching tool called the wheel of life is the place to begin. Divide a circle into eight pie-shaped segments: friends and family; significant other/romance; fun and recreation; health, money; personal growth; physical environment and career. Rank your satisfaction score in each area on a scale of 1-10. Now with a snapshot of where you are today, and using a “realistic magic wand,” write down where you’d like to be in each of the areas you’d like to improve. The more detail, the better.

Now write down all the things that are stressing you out in that area: be it your job, friends, family, your physical environment or even yourself. By writing them down, you increase your awareness about what’s irritating you. There are two ways to tackle irritations; both will make you feel more empowered. You can determine the actions and requests needed to eliminate these irritants from your life. This can be as simple as telling the truth. Or you can accept the reality of the situation, let go of trying to control it, or them, and focus on something more rewarding.

Another issue to look at is time. What are your personal time wasters? Long phone conversations, television or the Internet? Write a list of the activities that eat into your time and promise yourself you won’t indulge in them for more than an hour a day. You will be amazed at how much free time you suddenly have available.

How strong are your boundaries in the area you’d like to see improvement in? If you’re spending too much time doing things you don’t want to do, it’s probably time to drop “the disease to please,” and raise some personal boundaries. If your boundaries are poorly defined, it’s more likely that you’ll attract people who think it’s OK to expect or demand something from you. Remember, we teach people how to treat us. By being clear about your boundaries, you’ll regain control of your life and show others how much you value yourself.

Making these simple changes can create a life that looks and feels different and most importantly, suits you better. Why is this important? Because, as I said at the beginning of this article, you now know as never before how precious life is. As the poet Mary Oliver asks in one of her poems, “What do you plan to do with this one wild and precious life?”

Breast cancer incidence is much higher in industrialised Western countries, whether in Europe or North America, than in developing countries. North American women have the highest incidence of breast cancer in the world. Among women in the U.S., breast cancer is the most common cancer and the second-most common cause of cancer death (after lung cancer). Women in the U.S. have a 1 in 8 (12.5%) lifetime chance of developing invasive breast cancer and a 1 in 35 (3%) chance of breast cancer causing their death. In 2007, breast cancer was expected to cause 40,910 deaths in the U.S. (7% of cancer deaths; almost 2% of all deaths)

Breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer in women and the second most common cause of cancer death in women in the U.S. While the majority of new breast cancers are diagnosed as a result of an abnormality seen on a mammogram, a lump or change in consistency of the breast tissue can also be a warning sign of the disease. Heightened awareness of breast cancer risk in the past decades has led to an increase in the number of women undergoing mammography for screening, leading to detection of cancers in earlier stages and a resultant improvement in survival rates.

Breast cancer is the number one disease that women in the United States fear the most, and for compelling reasons. It is the leading cause of death among women between 40 and 55 years of age and is the second overall cause of death among women (exceeded only by lung cancer). Unfortunately, it is also on the rise worldwide. According to the American Cancer Society, this year about 175,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer and about 43,300 deaths from breast cancer will occur among women in the USA.

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy affecting women in North America and Europe. Close to 200,000 cases of breast cancer were diagnosed in the United States in 2001. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American women behind lung cancer. The lifetime risk of any particular woman getting breast cancer is about 1 in 8 although the lifetime risk of dying from breast cancer is much lower at 1 in 28. Men are also at risk for development of breast cancer, although this risk is much lower than it is for women.

Breast cancer is more easily treated and often curable if it is found early. Monthly breast self-examinations should begin at age 20. Recommended screening methods include breast self-examination and mammography.

The most serious cancers are metastatic cancers. Metastasis means that the cancer has spread from the place where it started into other tissues distant from the original tumor site. The most common place for breast cancer to metastasize is into the lymph nodes under the arm or above the collarbone on the same side as the cancer. Other common sites of breast cancer metastasis are the brain, the bones, and the liver.

Death rates from breast cancer have been gradually declining and continue to decline. These decreases are likely due both to increased awareness and screening and improved treatment methods.

When diagnosed with something as deadly as cancer, fertility may not be the immediate concern. However, once cancer is cured and life goes on, the harmful effects of the treatment undergone may show up in the form of impaired fertility.

Ironically, fertility enhancing treatments also seem to have the same effect on cancer, by increasing the risk of cancer in women who undergo fertility treatment.

Treatment for infertility almost always involves intake of fertility drugs, but it appears by improving fertility and the chances of a woman to conceive, the fertility drugs may simultaneously be increasing the risk of cancer. The risk of uterine cancer in particular is seen to increase.

Ovulation-inducing drugs are common in treatment of infertility. The effects of these drugs on the health of the women who use them have not been verified yet.

The studies conducted on the topic come out with contradictory findings on the direct relationship between medication intake and ovarian or breast Cancer. Certain constraints on the research such as the short duration of study or inclusion of women with a higher propensity for cancer due to other reasons are cited as reasons for lack of absolute clarity in the findings.

A recently conducted study on 15,000 Israeli women 30 years after they gave birth was published in the American Journal of Epidemiology. Out of this large group, 567 had used ovulation-inducing drugs. 362 women also took the fertility drug clomiphene. The study revealed that the subjects developed cancer at a higher rate than the other drug-free women; they were also at a higher risk for developing other forms of cancer.

A study conducted at the Stanford University also says that the correlation between ovarian cancer and fertility drugs was more predominant in those women who took fertility drugs, but never became pregnant. This could suggest the cancer risk to be associated with the type of infertility rather than the treatment drug use itself.

Besides breast cancer, increased risk of developing other forms of cancer, like skin cancer and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma were also noted. Still, in spite of the large sample used in the study, scientists say it is not easy to draw reliable conclusions because a detailed history of fertility drug use for all the women were not available. Also, only a very small percentage of women developed uterine cancer.

The findings are nonetheless significant. Medication that blocks the brain’s estrogen receptors are found to increase the risk of uterine cancer.

Genentech’s proposed study of Avastin (bevacizumab) in combination with paclitaxel in first-line metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) does not justify continued approval of the indication because the trial is unlikely to substantiate the magnitude of progression-free survival benefit seen in the E2100 trial and there are multiple factors that could delay the new study’s completion, said the director of the division of biologic oncology products, Dr. Patricia Keegan.

Avastin (bevacizumab) is a Cancer medicine that interferes with the growth of cancer cells and slows their growth and spread in the body. The most common side effects of Avastin that occurred at greater than 10% and at least twice the control rate include nosebleeds, headache, high blood pressure, inflammation of the nose, too much protein in the urine, taste change, dry skin, rectal bleeding, tear production disorder, back pain, and inflammation of the skin. Treatment with Avastin also can result in serious and sometimes fatal bleeding. This includes coughing up blood, bleeding in the stomach, vomiting blood, bleeding in the brain, nosebleeds, and vaginal bleeding. People who have recently coughed up blood or have serious bleeding should not receive Avastin.

Doctors are still free to prescribing Avastin as treatment to Breast Cancer patients without FDA approval, but it may be more difficult to secure insurance reimbursement without breast cancer data included in the FDA-cleared prescribing information. Insurers and government health programs likely will stop covering the drug, which comes with a hefty pricetag of $8,000 a month, or $96,000 a year. For now at least, the prescribing information still includes Breast Cancer as an approved use.

Surgery

Surgery is often the first step in breast cancer treatment. Removal of the lump and the cancerous tissue is imperative in most cases to keep the cancer from spreading any further. Depending on the stage (which is judged by the size and the spread of the disease) a woman with breast cancer may have a mastectomy or a lumpectomy.

A mastectomy is removal of the entire breast, where a lumpectomy saves the majority of breast tissue but removes only the lump itself and the very nearby affected breast tissue. A doctor will recommend which is the safest course of action for each type of cancer. A Stage I cancer, which has not spread beyond the lump maybe be treated with a lumpectomy and radiation, for instance, where a wider spread cancer like Stage IIB or III involves much more breast and surrounding tissues and may require a complete mastectomy for the best prognosis. During surgery, the surrounding lymph nodes may be removed as well, if the cancer could have spread to these areas. In some cases, the breast can be reconstructed during the cancer surgery or at a later time.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is not always a part of breast cancer treatment. If the cancer was caught very early before it had spread into the tissues of the surrounding area or the lymph nodes, chemo may not be recommended. When it is, it’s the introduction of medication given through an IV that kills system-wide cancer cells that may have spread beyond the lump or tumor that was removed. Cancer cells divide rapidly, and the substance in the chemo therapy attacks those cells. There are side effects with chemotherapy, but there are medications that can help make these much milder than they used to be.

Radiation

Radiation breast cancer treatment is usually the third stage, after surgery and chemo. This targets a specific area of the body, such as the breast, to destroy any remaining cancer cells. In some cases, surgery and radiation are given without chemotherapy, depending on how small and localized the cancer was.

The use of radiation can reduce the chances of breast cancer coming back by about 70%, and the side effects are local to the area treated, and often tolerated much better than chemo side effects.

For those with a hormone-receptor positive types of breast cancer, hormonal therapy is also given to help prevent recurrence. This therapy lowers the effectiveness and amount of estrogen in the system, which can help shrink any remaining cancer cells and prevent a relapse. For some types of this cancer, surgical removal of the reproductive organs may be an option, as well. For certain type of cancer, known as hormone-receptor negative cancer, hormonal therapy is ineffective and can even be harmful.

One evening at a meeting I noticed her chatting away with a mutual friend looking fantastic. My friend had her hair done, make up on, was nicely dressed and had lost a few pounds. She looked so good that I wondered to myself, “has she had her abdominal surgery and breast reconstruction or not?” By the way she looked and acted it was hard to tell. So when we got a chance to talk and I asked her if she had had the reconstruction surgery, she said, “Yes, 3 weeks ago but my surgeon said that I’m 8 weeks out.”(Meaning her healing was similar to someone who was 8 weeks beyond surgery and healing.) With her recovery so visible I wondered if other complementary modalities would also help other cancer patients with their healing.

Well, let’s look at several:

*Acupuncture: This is a therapy in which very thin needles are placed strategically along meridian lines in the body. Presumable they allow the flow of “chi” or life energy along these pathways to facilitate wellness, get rid of pain, and nausea. There have been several studies done that support acupuncture as a possible complementary therapy for breast cancer patients:

In a 2000 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, 104 women were being treated for breast cancer and given high does of chemotherapy. They were also given traditional anti-nausea medications. Out of the 104, some were randomly selected to receive electro-acupuncture, a process in which the needles used have a mild electric charge. The results show that the women who had electro-acupuncture had significantly fewer nausea attacks.

In a study completed at Duke University and published in 2002, the use of acupuncture was compared to the use of Zofran an anti-nausea medication in women with before breast cancer surgery. This was to help reduce the nausea that can occur after surgery. The acupuncture treatment was found to work better than Zofran at controlling nausea.

There are several risks with acupuncture, however. If the patient has had lymph nodes removed from under the arm needles must not be inserted there as it may cause lymphedema or an excess of fluid in that arm. There is also a risk of infections if the acupuncturist does not use sterile disposable needles and swab the insertion area prior to insertion. In addition there is a risk of bleeding for some people. When considering this or any complementary modality it is best to seek the advice of a physician who knows the patient’s history and can advise accordingly.

Massage Therapy: Massage therapy is the gentle to deep kneading and stroking of the superficial muscles of the body using oil or lotion. Some benefits of massage therapy for the general population are increased circulation, relief of muscle tension and pain, support through sports injuries, headaches and general stress relief.

A randomized control trial was published by the Department of Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy, Charite Center for Internal Medicine and Dermatology in Berlin, Germany by M, Reisshauer A, Krohn M, Voight B, Tjahono G, Becker J, Klapp BF and Rauchfuss M. to investigate the efficacy of classical massage treatment in reducing breast cancer-related symptoms and in improving mood disturbances. Their conclusion was that classical massage seems to be an effective complementary treatment for reducing physical discomfort and fatigue, and improving mood disturbances in women with early stage breast cancer.

The literature has shown that bodywork significantly reduces chemo-induced nausea, diarrhea and vomiting. Anecdotal evidence also indicates massage helps patients maintain their appetite and weight during chemotherapy. For radiation patients a skilled therapist may help with residual symptoms.

Chiropractic: Chiropractic therapy is a therapy wherein the body’s structure, movement and function are addressed. Chiropractors use hands on manipulation or other tools to address musculoskeletal conditions. The underlying thought is if the body’s structure is in balance then its movement will be highly efficient.

Studies have shown that chiropractic therapy can help relieve headaches, back and joint pain in women who have had breast cancer treatment. Other studies have looked at using chiropractic therapy to relieve menopausal symptoms in breast cancer survivors, but the results weren’t conclusive or mixed.

Are there risks to chiropractic therapy for breast cancer patients? A patient with bleeding problems or those on anticoagulants (blood thinners) may have a higher risk of stroke caused by manipulation of the spine. Also, those with osteoporosis or may be at risk for broken bones with chiropractic.

Healing Touch Energy Therapy: Healing Touch is a non-invasive holistic modality in which a practitioner uses her hands and intention to effect the bio-field surrounding the person’s physical body as well as the chakra system. There are seven major chakras or energy centers on the body as well as many minor chakras. Techniques are used to address the individual’s presenting physical, mental-emotional and spiritual needs. Is this modality successful with breast cancer?

According to Healing Touch International, a study was done which meets the “gold standard” of research by Cook and others. Researchers found that “those who received Healing Touch demonstrated better quality of life in all nine domains measured with significant differences in vitality, pain, and physical functioning. In another study, massage therapy, Healing Touch, and ‘presence’ were compared during cancer treatment. Both massage and Healing Touch were found to significantly reduce levels of pain and reduced mood disturbance. There was also less fatigue in the Healing Touch group. One small study found that a Healing Touch intervention significantly improved fatigue and nausea, and showed improvements in distress and pain in those undergoing cancer treatments. However, clinical trials are being conducted at the University of Iowa in conjunction with the Department of Health and Human Services to determine if Healing Touch has an effect on immune function, fatigue and radiation induced skin damage with breast cancer patients during treatment.

Complementary modalities are being used more and more by cancer patients to support them as they go through chemotherapy and/or radiation treatment. It is important to find the one that works the best for each individual according to their medical history and doctor’s advice.

When the cancer is diagnosed at the early stage, the malignant cells have affected the breast area at its minimum. It could have only affected the lining or just a part of the breast. This is easier to get rid of. Many these cancer patients, with proper treatment and management, are able to survive this cancer. However, this is a challenge if the cancer has already advanced its stages and it has affected surrounding organs.

Advanced breast cancer treatment options are kind of treatments that are aggressive in nature as these are done in combinations. Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy are the conventional cancer treatments. However, with an advanced stage, these treatments cannot be used alone. It must be done in combinations.

For example, the doctor can initially recommend the removal of the tumor. This means that the patient has to undergo surgery in order to physically get rid of the tumor. However, after the surgery, the doctor cannot completely guarantee total removal since there are other affected areas. The cancer is already in it its advanced stages and has probably metastasized which in effect means that there must be other treatments employed. The secondary cancers also need similar attention and medication. The doctor may further recommend chemotherapy and other supplemental treatments aside from the primary treatment that was previously administered.

Aside from conventional treatments, there are also alternative treatments as advanced breast cancer treatment options. These are natural treatments given either as a primary treatment or secondary treatment. It can be used alone as a treatment or it can be a supplement to a conventional primary treatment. What a lot of people love about these treatments is the fact that it is completely safe and inexpensive to administer. Chemotherapy comes with nausea, fatigue and weakness. Plus, each cycle will cost thousands of dollars and one cycle a month is rarely enough to guarantee good improvements to the patient.

Even if alternative treatments are known to be all natural and many are skeptical about these, many patients still choose to use these. It’s safe; it’s all natural and most of all, it’s easily accessible.

1. Watch the rush to get it done now. Ask your surgeon how long they think you could delay any proposed surgery. My partner’s first impulse was to have an operation immediately. A 2 cm tumor can take 20 years to develop so her surgeon said that a delay of 6 weeks would not affect the outcome. My partner used that period to contact practitioners who advised her on other therapies and this helped change her mind about surgery.
2. See if you can talk to people who have had cancer and used natural methods to heal themselves. This includes alternative medicine practitioners. The first woman my partner saw was a former nurse who cured herself from breast cancer and hearing first hand that it was possible, was as important to my partner as the treatment she offered.
3. A good naturopath may cure you – but they might just kill you as well. My partner had a naturopath who had a history of success with cancer. For several months the tumor was kept in check and his system said that my partner was in excellent overall health. The tumor then exploded into growth suddenly – and HER2 cancer cells can growth very fast. At this stage he was out of his depth and could only recommend surgery.
4. The same applies to acupuncture. My partner had a very good acupuncturist who worked with cancer patients. He constantly monitored the tumor and his treatment probably helped to keep it in check for a year – but ultimately acupuncture was ineffective.
5. What works for some people may not work for you. Another alternative breast cancer treatment we tried was intravenous sodium bicarbonate – pioneered by Italian oncologist Dr Simoncini. We had to import our 7.5% solution of sodium bicarbonate from Israel (it is also available from Thailand) when USA supplier Baxters made it unavailable – except to hospitals – in Australia and New Zealand. While some people report success, it had no effect on my partner’s tumor – and when her doctor spoke to Dr Simoncini he said that she would have to have surgery following the treatment anyway.
6. Keep searching – there are alternative treatments that are highly effective.Dr Robert Wickman, based in Ecuador, possibly saved my partner’s life. He certainly saved the life of one woman who was terminal with bowel and liver cancer, cured another of bowel cancer (and avoided colostomy) and a man of prostate cancer in the 5-6 weeks treatment time my partner was there (all these confirmed by independent oncologists). He uses a range of treatments including Rife technology, and alkalizing the blood and detoxing the body. My partner had no cancer according to his system but her blood tests still had cancer markers. He expected her tumor to soften and breakdown – but it didn’t.
7. Never give up but keep exploring whether you have subconscious beliefs that are working against your healing. Working with kinesiology, we found that my partner had a subconscious belief that she didn’t deserve to be healed. We defused this belief and she affirmed that she deserved to be healed. It was only then that my partner – who was at a point of desperation and despair – came across Dr Chen in Auckland New Zealand. Her breast tumor was by now massive, occupying a large part of her breast, and was haemorrhaging every 4 to 7 days, taking her iron levels so perilously low that she had booked herself in for a blood transfusion. Instead she started Dr Chen’s treatment – although he thought the tumor was too big to be treated successfully. Within 10 days the bleeding stopped completely. The unique herb and oil combination that Dr Chen uses decimated the tumor, reducing it by 70% within ten weeks and the progress continues.
Chen and a colleague developed this treatment by using modern technology to process traditional Chinese anti cancer herbs and oils in a new way – and they tested it for 20 years in China.
My partner was only the third Westerner he had treated with his cancer herbal treatment – and we wish that we had discovered him two years ago we she first found out – it would have saved us a small fortune and with the tumor the size it was then – the treatment would have been completed in 8 to 12 weeks and our lives would have been not dominated by the specter of cancer.

When my partner started treatment with Dr Chen I wondered why it took over 2 years to find him – his practice was only 500 meters from the hospital where my partner was told she needed mastectomy. He had no English website to speak of, English is definitely his second language, so I built him one – drchenscureforcancer.

In breast cancer, the disease can begin in any part of the breast. It can be on the milk duct lining or on the breast tissue. Either way, these malignant cells can multiply and spread not only on the entire breast area. The time that the cancer metastasizes, this is where secondary cancer comes in. Aside from the primary cancer, there is another form, one that has been an after-effect of the first one, only that it has advanced. Just like the primary cancer, it requires treatment in order to prevent it from causing further damage.

Metastatic breast cancer is type that has advanced its stage. Breast cancer, in a some cases, can be treated right away and the patient has a good chance of recovery. If it advances its stage, that’s when metastatic breast cancer occurs. It is originally primary breast cancer but since the cancer has progressed, there are other surrounding organs that have been affected.

The selection of metastatic breast cancer treatment must be based on two things. The first one must be to help prevent further spread of the cells and stop it from causing damage. It must work to completely control the cancer cells. The other one includes treatment for the other symptoms that might come with the cancer by reason of its advancement.

Also, the choice of metastatic treatment can be between treatments normally administered in hospitals or normally known as conventional cancer treatment or those treatments that can be done anywhere or those known as alternative cancer treatment. Both of these treatments work to prevent further growth of the cancer cells as continuing such will only make the patient’s condition worse and could be the cause of death.

Though chances may look slim, there are a lot of metastatic breast cancer treatment options out there that can help improve a patient’s condition and chances for survival. Look and evaluate the patient carefully before which treatment to administer. The right combination of treatments could help save a patient’s life.

There are a lot of ways to cure cancer. It’s a matter of choosing which one is the best. Though difficult, there are many metastatic breast cancer treatment options to choose from.
