Have you been to a regular Dr? It could be cancerous, where the solution is not to take it out but rather kill it with chemo therapy.

TS, would suggest to visit nearest hospital. Island Hospital would be good and confirm if the lump node is indeed a tumor or a benign cyst before you drastically decide to go for surgery. go for 2nd or 3rd opinion if you need to seriously... |

I'm not suggesting she just waltz on in to a hospital and get chemo, I'm saying go to a Dr and he will know better how to deal with the issue.
I'm no expert by any stretch, but I thought chemo was how they deal with cancer? correct me if I'm wrong. or are you coming from an alternative medicine stand point This post has been edited by CargoCult: Jan 12 2011, 04:16 PM |

This therapy, includes mainly organic vegetables and fruits, as well as coffee anema, for detoxification purpose. Coffee anema treatment works as the caffeine travels through the portal system, and when reaches the liver, it stimulates and opens up the bile duct to detoxify the toxins out from the body. Most conventional doctors, are against Gershon therapy, and they do not believe such treatment works for cancers. Why? Because oncologists are trained and taught to only believe in conventional cancer treatments which they practiced.

But she can't 100% confirm on it, they need undergo biopsy to determine whether it is cancerous. |

Many hospitals in Penang, Adventist, Lam Wah Ee, Bagan Specialist, Island to name a few If they need a sample to confirm then fine, just dont undergo surgery to remove it all because your doctor said it needs to be removed and try to stay away from oncologists as much as you can, those are bunch of conmen who wants nothing more than to say "you have cancer, stage bla bla bla, and you need to undergo chemo, which MAY give you a chance to eradicate the cancer cells" |

At the end of the day Doctors are there to help people, do you really believe that a Doctor would turn down the chance to help someone based on their biases? despite evidence to the contrary? no way. If something works, then it works and people will be cured, I doubt they care where the cure comes from, it should just be supported by evidence. |

It's like going to clothing store to buy hardware tools. Does anyone even know what is cancer? How does cancer thrive in our body and how do we starve the cancer cells from growing? Does anyone even know what doctors study in their degree? Medicine, which is drugs, to diagnose and treat symptoms, and NOT fixing the underlying cause of the problem. Read this health blog if you have time and stop being foolish and wasting time and effort causing more damage to the already suffering ill body. This blog will save your life folks! Just my 2 cents from my 8 years or nutrition and health background. I believe most girls will think of gynae when there is a problem in breast, uterus and ovarian.www.areyoutoolazytolive.blogspot.com This post has been edited by pu8y: Jan 13 2011, 08:55 AM |

Dear Pu8y,
Most women will have this problem, especially in the age group 20-40, with fibroadenoma. Some, even have it recurrent. As in practise, lump in the breast should go for ultrasound (less than 35 years old) or mammography (older), and possible of FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) if needed. With the findings, it should be known for the possibility on cancerous lump or not. However, nothing is confirm or sure unless we open it up and examine it under microscope. Just ask any of the surgeons for opinions, either gov or private. My advice, get it off as soon as possible. And keep your worries away! |

get a diagnosis first before further action...
depends on your age group and risk. it can be just a benign fibroid or worse case scenario --> malignancy. consult a surgeon asap...simple examination and imaging will give u the diagnosis. |

An ordinary ultrasound can't see anything. You need a biopsy. Otherwise scan it with Toshiba's 640-slice CAT scanner, the best in the world. Pantai KL has a breast care centre, and several breast surgeons. Anyway, fibroadenomas in the breast are quite common in young to middle aged women. https://www.pantai.com.my/kuala-lumpur/faci...ast-care-centre https://www.pantai.com.my/kuala-lumpur/doct...ia-alison-gomez |
