Breast Cancer Changed Me Too
I like Joan Lunden. I mean I like what I saw of her on TV. She was very professional and did a good job on the air. I am not sure I would have ' volunteered ' to have a mammogram on television, even if it was to raise awareness of breast cancer screening.Now, three years after her diagnosis, she is through with treatment andsays that having breast cancer changed her. She has started awebsite to educate women about the benefits of early detection.Then another woman, much younger,Yolanda Jenkins, has also been diagnosed with breast cancer. She has created a platform to encourage young women to get checked and wants to get th...

Supporting Your Friends Through Your Cancer
Say what? You know that line ' don ' t my your problems, my problems ' ? This is clearly the case here. Yes, sometimes your friends want emotional support because of your illness.One of my closest friends mostly vanished from my life during my treatment. Yes she has a very busy schedule and she had a small child at that time. Her mother was also very ill. But I missed her emotional support during that time.Currently and in the past, we would talk at least once a week and get together once a month. But during that treatment time period, I didn ' t talk to her for months. I had other friends but I missed her. Later one of ou...

How The Post Cancer Brain Works
I have lots of aches and pain. This is a proven fact. You can ask any of my doctors. And I am also a klutz. And I have the battle scars to prove it.Last week, I tripped over my father ' s wheelchair in the waiting room of the chemotherapy department. How embarrassing. In front of maybe 40 people waiting for their appointments. They all noticed.This is what happened. We arrived at the hospital and my father grabbed a wheelchair. He has a bad leg so he pushes a wheelchair around instead of using a cane or walker. It ' s easier for him. He checked in for his appointment and we sat down to wait for him to be called. He parked ...

I got to ring the brass bell in the lobby of the radiation center last Wednesday. I rang three times as is the custom. Except for that celebratory ritual, the day was a bit anti-climatic. This whole cancer episode has … Continue reading →

Has Your Partner Been Diagnosed With Breast Cancer?
In the vast majority of cases, a breast cancer diagnosis affects more than one person. All the focus understandably centers around the patient in formulating the best treatment plan. However, as physicians, I feel we generally do a bad job of considering the patient's support system, and the primary caregiver in particular.Following one of my patients' breast cancer diagnosis, mastectomy and reconstruction, I asked her husband how he was coping and if there was any way we could be of more help.He told me: "You're the first one who's even asked me how I'm doing. There's no manual. I can't fix this. I have a million thoughts...

A Mad Cancer World – guest post
This one comes from a young woman diagnosed with AML, acute myelocytic leukemia. She writes at Girl With The Swirl
While I’m not caught up in ad world, I’m trying to take more small walks. Here’s the current predicament, which is pretty minor in the grand scheme of things. I’m pretty sure I have muscle atrophy from completely suspending all my physical activities I used to do 8 months ago + 2 1/2 weeks of solid bed rest have now left me tired and sore from being in the same positions. It’s like my bed has a crater and I’m a moon unit officially parked on it. So in my attempt to get rid...

New Breast Cancer Drug but at What Cost
The FDA approved Kadcyla for late stage breast cancer treatment. This is a good thing. Its about time. And it will save many women's lives.But I have a real problem with the financials behind it. A month's treatment costs $9800 or $117,600 annually, which apparently is about twice the costs of Herceptin. These costs will mostly be covered by insurance - and we wonder why insurance premiums are going up.Immunogen, who developed it, expects to receive a $10.5 million pay off plus royalties of 3-5% of the expected world wide sales of $2 billion (with a b). To my tiny math brain, that means they get $60,000,000 (that's 6...

Ethical dilemma on a cancer drug
I have been mulling this over for a few days. A woman in Texas, Andrea, with stage IV ovarian cancer wants BioMarin to allow her to receive a new drug BMN 673 which has not yet been approved for treatment. Her doctor thinks it might help her. She hopes it will help her. She understands that it may not help her but it has helped others. There is a big debate going on.I completely sympathize with her that she wants to try everything possible to stay alive. She and her doctor have been lobbying BioMarin to get the drug. The company is not agreeing , saying it is still in clinical trials and has not yet been proven. They...

TBT: Getting Diagnosed with Cervical Cancer
In honor of it being Cervical Cancer Awareness Month today’s TBT post is one we ran as part of a series back in 2014.
January is Cervical Cancer Month. According to the CDC, in 2010 11,818 women in the United States were diagnosed with cervical cancer and 3,939 women died from the disease. And while these statistics are disheartening, once the leading cause of death in women, cervical cancer has rapidly declined over the past 40 years. The decline in cases can be attributed to preventative medicine: more women are getting regular Pap tests, which can find cervical precancer before it turns into cancer.
Throughout t...
