Another reminder that tests and doctors are not perfect beings, beware all this one may be from Quebec but it is not an outlier.

Hi all ~ Gee Nancy thank you for all that info! I for one will be checking into Bio identical Hormone Replacement. I like the idea that they check to see the status of your (overall) health before they  recommend any treatment for you. Now that makes alot of sense! You would think that should be part of everyones yearly physical examine! Not to mention being Dx with BC or any major illness for that matter,these test would be a Baseline of our over all health before and after any treatment! Makes a person wonder why they aren't doing it??? How costly could these simple test be, in comparison to the countless lives they could potentially save??

The general standard of care is rest, good food, exercise, healthy living generally and symptomatic treatment for the most annoying symptoms.

Please, anyone sitting in the Comfort Zone Lounge save me a chair! I have been out of my comfort zone since May 2007 when they told me I had breast cancer. Who Me? Couldn't Me? I almost drowned with drenching night sweats and hot flashes - because I would not take those 'breast cancer causing hormones'....and they published the study 'the rate of breast cancer is down' - because less women are using hormone replacements (I think not). The women in my family used hormones from their late 30s and early 40s (I am the only one that has breast cancer). I used glass containers - I never heated in plastic ...I never had coffee or tea in styrofoam....I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't even use a can opener very well because I buy fresh fruits/vegetables and shop the European way.  I weighed 4 pounds more than I did 30 years ago. I loved the look of weeds long before it was fashionable or environmentally friendly - I stopped my husband from spraying our lawn 30 years ago when my children were born. I walk 7 days a week for 1-1/2 hours a day for the past 16 years....I eat my flaxseeds, my broccosprouts, my low-fat diet, drink my green tea, drink my water, avoid dairy...and I will radiate, and take my chemical cocktail or whatever else might give me a chance at living.  I do not choose one from column A (the chemo  toxic route), I do not choose one from column B (the organic natural route). I choose all of them and anything else that might make a difference - because the more time I spend looking into the cancer odyssey - the more convinced I am that we do not die from breast cancer - we die from the healthcare system that ignore us, dismiss us, misdiagnose us, misinform us, deny us and ultimately we survive not because of them but in spite of them.  What ever option that I can use to evict the intruder that lives within me I will take and hope there are more on the horizon.

Bev,

I post from the heart and with love for my sisters, and the world as a whole.

I lost both my parents, two of my moms sisters, and one of the sisters who had cancer at the time had to hear her 10 yr. old daughter Dx with Juvenile Bone Cancer and than watched her die just 2 short yrs. later. After she buried her, she had to continue with her battle until she too succumbed to the beast.

My Mom was 35 yrs. old when she received her first Dx with uterus cancer that was in 1961, she did not have Chemo at that time they just removed her uterus, it was 8 yrs. later when she was Dx with bone cancer this go around she did receive both Chemo and Rad. she died 7 mos. later. Her first Dx was 48 yrs. ago!! Their doing the best they can??? Please tell me how they are doing the best they can!

I have watched first hand what cancer does to a person, I watched 5 perfectly fit humane beings one day before receiving the Dx go to a bag of bones almost unrecognizable in very short time.

How can ignorance by the medical industry be called doing the best they can? Aren’t Doctor’s supposed to heal? Aren’t they supposed to use whatever tool available to heal??  Why aren’t the Doctors standing up against the Insurance Co. in their patients behalf, the very same patients they are sword by Hippocratic Oath to heal? Insurance Co. are running their practices, and they cow taw to them.

We don’t put up with Ignorance of the Law, but we except Ignorance in the Medical Industry and call it doing the best they can? When are they gonna be held accountable for their ignorance? When they turn a blind eye to what they know is not right, why aren’t they being held to the highest standards on Earth???

Please take a look at this link NO it isn’t cancer, but its more of what you call “Doing the Best they can”!

You speak of anger ~ You bet I’m angry! Just open your eyes and heart, and than tell me you except anything but a Cure for Cancer and all other major illnesses! Until we all get angry and put a stop to all this, none of this will go away.

Connie ~ Please don’t misunderstand I am not advocating one form of treatment over another! Whatever you have faith in is ultimately the RIGHT course for that individual! I support all of my sisters, in whatever they chose to do. If you believe Bubble Gum will cure you, than I’m all for it!

It seems that because I chose not to have Chemo, I am not with you! Why is that? This isn’t a case of one side or another; this is about joining together for the same cause, a cure of cancer!

I best end this because every time I look up there is another post!

Hugggggggggggggs,

Bev
