It's all too possible!

I've lived almost ten years with my mid to late stage, what are you afraid of with your early stage.

Early breast cancer has a high probability of clinical cure, so if you can change your temper, change your lifestyle habits, exercise regularly, don't stay up late, don't get angry, have regular checkups, and have a good mindset, you'll be fine.

Just like although I am in the middle to late stage, I will recur metastasis is actually all my own doing, first I used to have a bad mindset, especially negative.

Secondly my habits have not been corrected, I still do what I do, I smoked and drank three years ago, and only two years ago I quit all of it.

And I didn't get my treatment done, all of it, nine years ago, I didn't get my radiation, I didn't get my endocrine therapy, and I haven't been reviewed regularly in the last nine years.

So I would relapse and metastasize, totally my own problem, but now I'm recovering well, my treatment is working well, my mindset has changed for the better, I'm not even scared, I have confidence in myself, it's already in the late stages and I'm able to continue to live.

You have even less to worry about if you are early stage, remember that your worrying will add more psychological burden to you, you should treat yourself as a healthy person, many early stage breast cancers live to old age with no problems.

Your children need you, your family needs you, this is what you believe in, don't be afraid to live to a ripe old age, not to mention 60.

It's very possible! When my mother was 60 years old, she found a small hard knot in her left breast by chance, very small, and then went to the hospital to check that it was invasive cancer, middle stage, with lymphatic metastasis in the armpit, and the degree of malignant change was very high, she had a total mastectomy, a complete sweep of lymph in the armpit, and also 8 times of chemotherapy, and the process was very difficult, but the old lady was very optimistic all the time, and she was very persistent, and she firmly believed that she did not have any problem, and she recovered well, and the movement of the arm was not restricted at all, and now 6 years later, she always joked with me that she did not have any problem, and did not need to take any medicine. No restriction, now 6 years, any check indicators are not a problem, there is no need to take any medication, she always joked with me that she got not breast cancer [cover face] [cover face] my mother's own sister sister, last year, also found out that breast cancer, locally advanced, surgery, 8 times of chemotherapy, because of my mother's recovery, she has always been very confident, and now after one year of chemotherapy, recovery is also very good, keep strong heart, and keep strong heart. Very good, keep a strong heart, optimism, ignore it, positive life, you must be able to, I am 40 years old this year, went to do the cancer gene screening, is the risk of medium, I am now in addition to rest and rest, is very open, good state of mind to maintain, is the key to Chinese medicine, said the seven emotions, six desires, emotions can cause disease, all diseases are born from the qi, so the calm state of mind, is very important, together to cheer up!

Honey, it's all too possible!

I was diagnosed with breast cancer last October and had two major surgeries, the first for ductal carcinoma in situ and the second major pathology came back with microinvasions, so I had a total resection. Luckily the lymphatic biopsy did not metastasize and there were no distant metastases. After surgery, according to the pathology, my attending physician gave me a treatment plan of chemotherapy four times, no drugs, no targeted therapy, just regular follow-up.

Unfortunately, during my breast hospitalization, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, so I had a total excision in February of this year, and I've been taking two tablets of Eucerin a day with no ill effects.

Look, isn't it cool that I've had three general anesthesia surgeries and two cancers in a six-month period?

Sick, to professional doctors, standardized treatment, the mammary gland belongs to the body surface organs, even if there is a disease, but also than the internal organs of the lesions much better treatment, their own positive cooperation, do not do not care about it and do not pay too much attention to do what you should do!

See your kid is six, my kid is ten, both are just growing up, there are things to do every day, make them good food, take the kids out, after school the kids are at home and playing, the kids go to school and just do their own thing, and it's good oh!

You must believe in yourself that if you change your habits and temperament, you will not only live into your sixties, but also into your eighties and nineties.

Tell you a story from my side of the family and I hope it helps.

I know a retired woman who was always very capable when she was young and was a middle-level cadre in her organization. She was a fiery and vigorous person with a very active character, very shrewd and capable. It is such a woman, at the age of 48, when she took a shower, unintentionally touched the breasts have a peanut, professional habits tell her that this peanut is more than likely to be bad. She went to the hospital the next day for a checkup, and as she expected, mid-stage breast cancer. She was devastated and burst into tears. Her friends counseled her to have an operation as soon as possible and cooperate with chemotherapy. She probably thought a lot about it and figured it out.

I visited her when she had surgery for breast cancer. When she saw me, she talked to me for a long time, and she said that the biggest failure in her life was that she was too strong. Her husband had a lot of women outside the home, and she had kept her anger inside in order to maintain the integrity of her family. On the surface, she and her husband are talking and laughing, so that many people think she is very happy, in fact, her inner pain only she knows. Back home she fights a cold war with her husband and seldom speaks, she puts all her passion into her work. She worked desperately to forget the absence of a warm home.

But she didn't think that she would get breast cancer, and it was mid-stage. She thought a lot about it, and everything she'd been through. She was yelled at by her friends, and she knew they had her best interest at heart. So, she decided to start chemotherapy after the surgery and cooperate fully with the doctors to make herself pretty and happy.

Due to the side effects of chemotherapy drugs, she began to lose a lot of hair, she is a woman who loves beauty, she insisted on using beer to massage her scalp, so her hair did not fall out all the time, but there is a small circle on the top of her head can not grow hair, she began to grow hair after all the courses of chemotherapy, a hair of 50 yuan, she grew a few thousand dollars, and soon her hair is black and thick again, as before she was not sick.

When her chemotherapy sessions were over, she stuck to the medication prescribed by the hospital every day, which cost her between $200 and $300 per month. She began to work out, going to square dances very early in the morning and in the evening. She never asked her husband what he was doing, she drank astragalus water every day, and when she had money, she would buy Cordyceps, which was too expensive for her to buy many sticks, but she no longer looked at money in the eye. Experiencing life and death, she has seen everything through, her daughter married far away, and to work, in her several hospitalization period, only once back, the other is all by himself through the chemotherapy level.

When she retired, she didn't stay idle and went to help out at a mercantile store owned by one of her classmates. She kept busy and got younger and younger, and she kept exercising no matter what the wind or rain was doing. Once, I met her on the street, she was full of joy, wearing a beautiful cheongsam, wearing light makeup, not at all fat, her face is rosy and glossy, ten years younger than her actual age. I asked her with a smile, this year's age? She laughed, life is seventy years old, you say?

So, you must not think about being a cancer patient, you must put all the knots in your heart down. Your child needs you, you can't just walk away, live well for the sake of your child. Breast cancer in women is inextricably linked to liver qi stagnation, so let go of anything that upsets you any more. My former neighbor was a woman, in her 30s, who had breast cancer in the midst of a quarrel because of her husband's lust for a woman in an outside ditch. But its son is very good at school, the woman had surgery and chemotherapy for two stages, her husband's surface to maintain the tranquility of the home, do show to the son, but secretly with the mistress has been in contact with the woman knows it all, its mood has been bad, it did not take long for the breast cancer to recur. From cancer to pass away, just six months. After her death, junior couldn't wait to get in the door, all her things all lost, redecorating. It did not take long to realize that the house was not good feng shui, sold and re-bought the house, when they moved, I saw her son, I suddenly very bitter, very sad.

In fact, man is a hasty passer-by on earth, from the moment of birth, step by step towards death, in the process, tasted all the flavors of the world, through all kinds of ups and downs. But as long as the heart is kind, will be everything to look down and look away, there is nothing that can not be overcome. Being happy is a day, being unhappy is a day, and being happy is good for your health, while being unhappy is bad for your body, so why not be happy? Living for your son is your motivation and goal, other than that, everything else is just clouds.

I wish you a speedy recovery and a step towards a new life!

As a breast surgeon, I'm telling you that "it's too likely that you'll live to 60 at 38 with early stage breast cancer."

Ten-year survival rate for early-stage breast cancer is very highBreast cancer is one of the few cancers that can be "cured" by early detection.

And the fact that you already have the awareness to change your temperament, improve your lifestyle, and have regular check-ups is a great prerequisite for success in the fight against cancer! You should have faith that you can live with your child until his 60th year! Spirituality is very powerful and can help us fight cancer better.

I'll say more about the treatment and survival rates for breast cancer, which is what you're primarily asking about.

1. Treatment of breast cancer

First of all, there is no uniform treatment plan for everyone, and treatment plans need to be developed based on individual patient analysis.

Taking into account the size and spread of the cancer, as well as the patient's age and overall health, the following treatments may be used: surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, and treatments for pain and other symptoms.

Of these, surgery and radiation therapy are specific to the affected area, such as surgical removal of part or all of the breast and radiation therapy for cancer.

Chemotherapy and hormone therapy, on the other hand, target cells throughout the body. Chemotherapy drugs kill all the cells in the body that are growing too fast, including cancer cells. Because breast cancer swelling is closely related to hormone levels in the body, hormone therapy can help prevent tumors from expanding.

There are also targeted targeted therapies for cancer cells, and the drugs used now are usually XX monoclonal antibody and XX-tinib.

In addition is the use of painkillers, antiemetics, and other medications to treat symptoms such as pain and vomiting that occur during treatment.

2. Breast cancer survival rates

This is very closely related to the early or late detection of breast cancer. Data from the United States show that the five-year survival rate after diagnosis of stage 0 and stage 1 breast cancer can be almost close to 100 percent, but at stage 4, the five-year survival rate drops to 22 percent.

Domestic data shows that the survival rate of early-stage breast cancer can also reach more than 90%, and may drop to about 10% in advanced stages, which is related to both the patient's body and treatment.

At the end of the day this is a calculated probability of occurrence in the population, when it comes down to the individual, it's 100%, and there are examples of late-stage ones that live very well.

With confidence and faith and aggressive treatment, you may be the lucky one. For the sake of life, children and family, go for it!

I'm @Dr. Zhou Chan, breast disease is my area of specialization, and you can leave a comment to discuss any questions in this area.

I guess it varies from person to person.

My mother had a mastectomy in mid-April 16, when the cancer had invaded the nipple and there was no way to save the breast. She had to have a full mastectomy, with axillary lymphatic metastasis, low to medium differentiation. She went for chemotherapy half a month after the surgery, and she was checked for low white blood cells before the chemotherapy, and it was over after one day of treatment. She has not been to the hospital since then, and she's fine now.

The key is to stay in a good mood, don't think too much, and keep up with your nutrition.

This is really not a problem. Our neighborhood has a big sister, got breast cancer, metastasized to a lot of organs, the uterus annex gallbladder all cut, although her husband serves annoyed every day cursed her early death, but the big sister is very competitive, more than 20 years later, still easy to live. Every day in the district to organize everyone square dancing, often with the sisters to travel, from time to time to stare at the stock market to make a small fortune, the weekend to go to my son's home to see the grandchildren, usually fight with her husband, don't mention live a more dashing and comfortable. (So you can definitely do it too 😀 .)

It's totally doable. I work in a hospital and I have two coworkers about your age who also had early to mid stage breast cancer and both recovered well from surgery, they were both of the endocrine type and the latest research has found a 100% five year survival rate for early stage breast cancer. My father-in-law had early stage rectal cancer, he was found in 2013 and had surgery, now he has been doing well, and he is still picking up and dropping off the kids for us. Relax your mind, breast cancer is closely related to emotions, adjust your mind and have regular checkups, you will be fine. Breast cancer has a high cure rate among cancers, bless you!

First of all, do not be afraid, timely medical treatment, to cooperate with the treatment, the right mindset, do good!

I dare say this because I am one year post op from brain tumor surgery, this tumor pathology is benign and I am slowly getting over it except for some after effects. At the beginning I spent every day in fear, afraid of recurrence, afraid of time is running out, I'm the same age as you, is 83 years old, I have a 10-year-old son, it is the age of the old and the young struggling, gray days will always be over, since now there is a life to live, try to live well, as for the future, do not think about it, give it to the time, cheers!

Treatment of breast cancer

There are many treatment options for breast cancer, including:Surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, pain managementWaiting for the approach, there are different treatment options for each stage of cancer, and most people need a combination of two or more treatments.

Your doctor will determine the stage of your cancer and then decide on the best course of treatment based on your stage and other factors such as age, family history, mutation status and personal medical history.

Treatment for early breast cancer may not work for advanced breast cancer. Breast cancer stages range from 0 to 4. Different factors determine your stage, including:

• Size of the tumor
• Number of lymph nodes affected
• Whether the cancer has spread to other parts of your body

Doctors use different tests to stage breast cancer for treatment. Imaging tests include CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds, X-rays and PET scans.

These can help doctors narrow down the location of the cancer, calculate the size of the tumor, and determine if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.

If imaging tests show a mass in another part of the body, your doctor may perform a biopsy to see if the mass is malignant or benign. A physical examination and blood tests can also help with staging.

Factors affecting breast cancer treatment

While breast cancer stage has a lot to do with treatment choices, other factors can affect your treatment choices as well.

(a person's) age

The prognosis for breast cancer is usually worse in women under the age of 40 because breast cancer tends to be more aggressive in younger women.

Balancing physical impact and risk reduction may play a role in decision-making between mastectomy and mastectomy.

In addition to surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy, several years of hormone therapy for hormone-positive breast cancer is often recommended for younger women. This can help prevent the breast cancer from coming back or spreading.

In premenopausal women, ovarian suppression may be recommended in addition to hormone therapy.

have conceived

Pregnancy can also affect breast cancer treatment. Breast cancer surgery is usually safe for pregnant women, but doctors may discourage chemotherapy unless it's in an intermediate to advanced stage.

Hormone therapy and radiation therapy may harm the unborn baby and are therefore not recommended during pregnancy.

tumor growth

Treatment also depends on how fast the cancer grows and spreads.

If you have aggressive breast cancer, your doctor may recommend a more aggressive approach, such as a combination of surgery and other therapies.

Genetic mutation status and family history

Treatment for breast cancer may depend in part on a close relative with a history of breast cancer or a gene that tests positive for a gene that increases the risk of developing breast cancer.

Women with these factors may opt for preventive surgical methods such as bilateral mastectomy.

Breast cancer survival rate

Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women. Incidence is on the rise, with approximately 2 million new cases worldwide each year.

In the United States alone, the American Cancer Society (ACS) predicts that 13 percent of women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) estimates that by 2020, 276,480 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and about 42,170 of them will die from the disease.

The ACS also predicts that by 2020, about 2,620 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and about 520 of them will die from the disease.

From 2007 to 2016, the incidence of breast cancer increased slightly, at a rate of 0.3 percent per year.

According to the ACS, thanks to early detection and improved treatments, breast cancer deaths fell 40 percent from 1989 to 2017.

Breast cancer mortality rates for women under age 50 have remained stable since 2007, while mortality rates for older women declined by 1.3 percent per year from 2013 to 2017.

Breast Cancer Staging Survival

The stage of breast cancer is related to how far the cancer has spread. Typically, the earlier breast cancer is diagnosed and treated, the better the chances of long-term survival.

• 0 period.This is a precancerous stage with no invasive cancer cells.
• 1 issue (limited).The tumor is small and confined to the breast. The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) reports that 62% of women are diagnosed at stage one.
• 2 issues (limitations).Tumors larger than 2 cm or have spread to lymph nodes in the axilla.
• Phase 3 (regional transfers).This stage includes multiple lymph nodes that have spread to or near the skin, chest wall or breast.
• Stage 4 (distant metastasis).This is metastatic breast cancer, which means that it spreads to one or more distant places in the body, most commonly to the bones, lungs or liver.

These stages are based on the following factors:

• Tumor size
• Whether the lymph nodes in the axillary region have metastasized
• Whether the cancer has metastasized distantly, meaning it has spread to other parts of the body

Since 2018, the following factors have also been used to determine breast cancer staging:

• Whether cancer cells have hormone receptors and require estrogen or progesterone to grow
• Whether cancer cells have HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) proteins that contribute to their growth
• Tumor "grade," or pathological grade, means how aggressive the cells look under the microscope
