Nine years ago, 36-year-old pediatrician Dr. Kimberly Bates, pictured left, was like any other successful 27-year-old: She had just finished medical school and had settled into her residency. She and husband were dreaming of the day when they’d have a child when she was hit with an unthinkable diagnosis — breast cancer. As if that weren’t challenging enough, Bates also discovered that she had triple negative breast cancer, a particularly pernicious form of the disease that disproportionately strikes young black women, resists most treatments and offers bleak survival rates. With a single sentence from her oncologist — “you have triple negative breast cancer” — the life B...

There are certain facts that women should know about uterine fibroids.

The Dark Side of the Moon I am not mystically inclined.  I love The Lord of the Rings as much as the next person, but I have never been a druid (one of my friends in middle school claimed that she was), a sun worshiper or a witch (a college roommate was most assuredly one of these.)  But one of the hardest things to adjust to about menopause has been losing my connection to the cycles of the moon. For some people it’s probably hard to imagine missing anything about menstruating.  (No more cramps?  No more PMS?  No more tampons? Where do I sign?!?)  But cancer robs us of so much that we take for granted, and for ...

But other than knowing that ovarian cancer is difficult to diagnose and it’s survival rate is not good because of the difficulty diagnosing it in the early stages, how much do you know about it? Ovarian cancer, one of the gynecological cancers, along with uterine, endometrial, cervical and vaginal cancers, affects mostly women over the age of 50, or post menopause. Younger women do develop ovarian cancer but it’s not as common. While doctors don’t know what causes ovarian cancer, they do know that fertility and menopause play a role, showed by the rising number of older women who develop it. Why is i...

The best way to beat cancer is to catch it early, something that’s not easy for ovarian cancer because of its vague symptoms. It most often strikes older women (over age 50 years), but up to 17% of women with ovarian cancer are under the age of 40 years, say researchers. Statistics show that about 21,650 women in the United States were diagnosed with the disease in 2008. If a woman develops ovarian cancer in her child-bearing years and hasn’t had children, a big concern often becomes preserving fertility because treatment is usually a hysterectomy and oopherectomy - removal of the uterus and ovaries. Researchers from New York looked at data involving women under the age of 50 years who were diagnosed with stage I ovari...

I’m not one of them, I recover quickly enough and to date have had no real ill effects from surgery, but, I don’t mind being laid up.

Would that have impacted my decisions? You bet! I would not have put off that one mammogram for an additional six months while I moved, I would not have taken birth control in my forties; I would have opted instead for a hysterectomy or oophorectomy. Would that have been enough to prevent the diagnosis? I can’t answer that for sure, but perhaps it would have allowed cancer to get only as far as the ducts in my breast, known as insitu, or stage 0. This week I found out that I could have known for certain that I was a genetic candidate for breast cancer with a very high risk of developing the disease. I could have known about this years before diagnosis. Sister had a conversation with a cousin who was well aware of the fami...

Many times simple treatment with dietary changes, natural hormones and nutritional and lifestyle changes can make a huge difference and get someone back on the road to healing. It would be really interesting if we could study options that don't require women to have some invasive procedure to their female parts. Like I always say to my female patients ,"If the treatment for prostatitis and erectile dysfunction was to just remove or burn the prostate and the testicles we would have a new procedure within minutes. It seem okay in our society to harvest and cut women's organs with regularity often at the hands of male doctors and some women doctors.I suggest if you have fibroids that you read John Lee'...
