Her tone of voice and common knowledge explanation so it can be clearly understood and that early symptoms check and blood screening is the first thing you must do. Your instinct is the biggest supporter of suspicious and feeling. Go have it check!

I want to thank you fir showing your emotions, your tears, your fears. Most other YT'ers put on a happy face. While I've gottrn a lot of good info, those happy faces didn't sit well.

Dr. Griggs, please talk about supplementation during hormone-therapy. It is so confuse. If the supplement do not interfere with the treatment, so, why to cut all of them? How can we get nutrients like, digestive enzymes, Omega 3, Vitamin D3, Vitamin C, all of them to help our immune system be strong. It is a dream to get them only with foods, and some of them our body does not produce itself? Impossible, isn't, it? Por favor fale sobre a proibiçao dos suplementos durante a hormono terapia.

Very informative video for me. Being treated for stage 4 inflammatory breast cancer. Thank you!

If you are clinically found to be stage 2, but further testing shows advanced metastatic cancer does that change your stage from 2 to 4?

[komalchandani]

@yerbba - My mom (63) has stage 4 with 'mild pleural effusion' in 1 lung & most lymph nodes involved. She's on hormone therapy with Letrozole and Ribocolib since 2.5 months.

Coulpe of questions:

Does this mean it's Oligometastitic breast cancer?
Can this be cured by removal of tumor?
Is there any hope of being cancer-free?


We're approaching the next scan in 2 weeks, would love to connect with you then 🙏 Please get back with your expert opinion.

Your content is a blessing for all of us who're suffering 🙏
God bless you.

I am HER2+. I don’t think they tested the tumor profile, it was recommended to have double mastectomy, ovaries taken out and started on the highest dose of oral chemo and hormone blockers. Currently taking 100 mg and an Anestrozol and never feel really great. I have been in remission for almost a year and keep asking if I can just take the hormone therapy. Why do I have to keep taking the chemo? Can I take a lower does? Is there integrative therapies we could do?

[princessdaaahlingamor]

This was great. Thanks!!! I was diagnosed with MBC three years ago today. This was comprehensive
Can you make a video about Ibrance? (That’s what I’m on) please? Thanks!

my wife has stage 4 breast cancer, liver and bone metastases. we live in Canada. I noticed that the doctor prescribes chemotherapy for many, and for some reason we were prescribed medications - Zolodex - Ribocidin - Ietrozol .. I don’t know anyone else who is treated with pills .. and because of this I am very worried. I would like to do chemotherapy, reduce the tumor, cut it out, and so that the metastases also decrease. why is that ? and a question. you know someone who is in remission from stage 4 cancer. ?

I’m going through tests had mastectomy, I’m older have arthritis in lower back. Spent a long time in bone scan I’m scared but my back is a mess for 30 years
