I also need input from you.

Do you shave your armpits and use anti perspirant deodorant daily?

Wtf is this question??

Do you ask a woman this point blank? One that has cancer??

Because breast cancer does not happen out of thin air, for years they have linked anti perspirant as the root cause for breast cancer because it disturbed their own normal perspiration.

And by shaving your armpit, you make it even more potent.

Getting to the root cause is more important, no? Rather than naively think it as some random event.

*bang head against the wall*

Op is already dealing with the news she has breast cancer. Not to forget the impending chemo and radiation therapy and here you come in saying did you shave your armpits? It's kinda your fault for getting cancer then.

If you said this to my wife, I would have socked you in the face right there and then.

Yes, please kill the messenger, you deal the problem by having a level head.

But I admit my method of asking is totally crass, but I just feel compelled to ask that way because I got tired with our 21st century bs, everything as random, or gene fault, just lazy excuse.

Can't blame them. No one keeps uptodate or train in these things.

Like I said do chemo and but fast before chemo to increase the chemo effect on cancer while mimising the effect on yourself.

Don't just depend on stuff.

Ppl please consult your oncologist immediately. Don't ever waste time and money on unproven medical treatments like fasting, no sugar starve the cancer cells bollocks.

This is wrong.

Yes some people opt to remove both breast but some do not. It's easy to tell a woman remove both breast but we need to consider their mental well being. If one breast is fine and her cancer type isn't triple negative, don't need to remove both.

Also genetic testing can only be done AFTER surgery not before. It costs 15k myr. Most doctors suggest this to be done the last to focus on the cancer removal. Brca is meant to give the patient a decision to do chemo or not. It's meant for those cancers like my wife who's one the fence. Not too serious and not too light, donno if need chemo or not that kind of thing. If your biopsy, pet scan and ultrasound and post surgery test shows u need chemo. Cannot run away

wah 15k for genetic testing?

so expensive

Always get second opinion.

very important

don't just rely on 1 specialist

can also opt later to seek treatment combine private/government hospital to defray the costs.

No man even the Americans and English with cancer I talk to say Brca isn't for everyone with cancer those like my wife who are on the fence like not needing chemo 50% to 50% needing chemo do well with Brca test. It's very niche.

Exactly! Suddenly all relatives come chip in the recipes of what they heard from someone. Some even say no need do, just go eat this and that will recover. Thats the whole problem.

Went to Dr.Yip from SJMC / Parkcity btw. https://subangjayamedicalcentre.com/doctor-...r-yip-cheng-har <-- very straightforward doctor.

To side track a little, mastectomies aren't the shock and awe end of the world scenarios that they used to be in the past.

With newer surgical techniques, such as breast reconstruction involving the latissimus dorsi flap (instead of the old method of having doctors remove muscle, fat and skin from the abdominal wall, the back, the inner thighs or the buttocks and place it to the chest to form breasts) or even newer ones other "flap" techniques can give a far superior and near natural appearance & even feel for the woman.

Bottom line: a mastectomy is not the end of the world, and could be the fresh start to a cancer free life for a woman.
