Prior to working the in the field of oncology, I worked in maternity; this was a huge learning curve for me. A lot of learning in regards to trying to understand the different types of breast cancer and standard of care for each stage, has been a bit of a guessing game and self guided. It's really hard to ask questions, when I am not even sure of the proper questions to ask! Your videos and explanations are extremely helpful, I thank you very much for taking the time to put this information together for those of us who are still trying to make sense of all of this. Prayers go out to all of you who really rely on this information to make decisions regarding your or your loved ones treatment.

My plastic surgeon had to call my radiologist in front of me. I went over to see radiologist and I was so burned that that they stopped for 10 days! Instead of 30 Burns, I was stopped at 27. 4 years post op now. I had 19 bad lymph nodes. I am on hormonal therapy. Fatigue is my main complaint. I am an RN and I sure feel that care team needs to address fatigue more seriously!

Thank you for making these videos, these videos have helped me to get a basic understanding about breast cancer and I am able to discuss my mothers treatment related things with our oncologist. However I have a question related to fasting along with chemotherapy. Have there been any proven or tested studies related to fasting benefits along with Cancer treatment? Thank you in advance

Thank for this informative video. I can't thank you enough for these videos, they are very helpful. For a stage 3 HR positive and HR2 negative tumor (with lymph nodes involved), having had chemo (6 sessions), mastectomy (removing a tumor of a few mm that were remaining) and under radiotherapy and hormonal therapy, under which conditions would one be given or not given chemo tablets such as capecitabine (when mastectomy has been done)?

Doctor I am a stage 3 her2 positive breast cancer patient.There was a lump 1.7 cm in my left breastand swelling in my axillary and supraclavicular lymph nodes.I have completed 4 cycles of dose dense AC regimen and 4 cycles of docetaxel with Trastuzumab When PET CT is taken, if there is no cancer cells in my body, is mastectomy necessary?Or lumpectomy is sufficient?
I will receive 13 more doses of Trastuzumab further

It would be nice if u addressed the viewers not as YOU but as 'a patient' bcz not all the viewers of your video are breast cancer patients!

Thank you for your videos. I’m 74 and facing bilateral mastectomy in a month. My concern is movement. I use my arms for getting up and I use a walker to get around. So getting out of bed will be a challenge. I’m hoping you have suggestions. I cannot have a recliner which would be wonderful. I do have a wedge pillow already but this does not seem to help without the use of my arms to get up.
