It's all too possible!
I've survived almost a decade with mid to late stage, what are you afraid of with early stage.
Early breast cancer has a high probability of being cured clinically, so if you can change your temper, change your habits, exercise regularly, don't stay up late, don't get angry, have regular checkups, and have a good mindset, you'll be fine.
Just like me, although I am in the middle and late stages, but I will relapse and metastasis is actually all my own work, the first I used to have a bad mentality, especially negative.
Secondly, my life habits have not been corrected, or I still do what I do, three years ago I still smoke and drink, two years ago I just quit all.
And I didn't finish the treatment nine years ago, I didn't finish the radiotherapy, I didn't finish the endocrine therapy, and I didn't have regular review in these nine years.
So I will recur, will metastasize, completely my own problem, but now I am recovering well, the treatment effect is also very good, the mentality has become better, I am not even afraid, have confidence in themselves, has reached an advanced stage I can also continue to live.
You are early more do not need to worry, remember that your worry will add more psychological burden to you, you should treat yourself as a healthy person, many early breast cancer live to old age are no problem.
Your children need you, your family needs you, that's what you believe in, don't be afraid, don't say 60, live to old age.
You must believe in yourself, as long as you change your habits, change your temper, you will not only live to your sixties, but also eighty or ninety years old is possible.
With you to tell you a story around me, I hope to help you.
I know a retired woman, young and always very capable, in the unit is a middle-level cadres. She was fiery, thunderous, active, and very shrewd and capable. It is such a woman, at the age of 48, when she took a shower, unintentionally touched the breasts have a peanut, professional habits tell her that this peanut is more than likely to be bad. She went to the hospital the next day for a checkup, and as she expected, mid-stage breast cancer. She was devastated and burst into tears. Her friends counseled her to have surgery as soon as possible, along with chemotherapy, and she probably thought a lot about it, and figured it out as well as through it.
I visited her when she had breast cancer surgery. When she saw me, she talked to me for a long time, and she said that the biggest failure in her life was that she was too strong. Her husband outside the woman constantly, she in order to maintain the integrity of the family, has been the air pressure in the heart. On the surface, she and her husband are talking and laughing, so that many people think she is very happy, in fact, her inner pain only she knows. Back home she fights a cold war with her husband and seldom speaks, she puts all her passion into her work. She worked desperately to forget the absence of a warm home.
But she did not expect that she would get breast cancer, and it was in the middle stage. She thought about it a lot, and everything she 捊 went through her mind. She was yelled at by her friends and she knew they were doing her a favor. So, she decided to start chemotherapy after the surgery and cooperate fully with the doctors to make herself pretty and happy.
As a result of the side effects of chemotherapy drugs, she began to lose a lot of hair, she is a woman who loves beauty, she insisted on using beer massage scalp, so her hair did not all fall out, but there is a small circle on the top of her head to grow hair, she began to grow hair at the end of all the courses of chemotherapy, a hair of 50 yuan, she planted a few thousand dollars, and soon her hair is as black and thick as it was before she was sick.
When she was a child, she was able to get her hair to grow back.
When her chemotherapy sessions were over, she insisted on taking the medication prescribed by the hospital every day, which cost her between $200 and $300 a month. She started working out, going to square dances very early in the morning and at night. She never asked her husband what he was doing, she drank astragalus water every day, and when she had money, she would buy Cordyceps, which was too expensive for her to buy many sticks, but she no longer looked at money in the eye. Through life and death, she has seen everything through, her daughter is married to a foreign country, and to work, in her several hospitalization period, only once back, the other is all their own one through the chemotherapy off.
She retired, not idle, to her classmates opened a store to help. She has been busy, getting younger and younger, rain or shine, she insisted on exercise. Once, I met her on the street, she was full of joy, wearing a beautiful cheongsam, wearing light makeup, not at all blossomed, her face is red and shiny, younger than the actual age of ten years. I asked her with a smile, this year's age? She laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed.
So, you do not think of yourself as a cancer patient, you must put down all the knots. Your children need you, you can not just walk away, for the sake of the children, live well. Breast cancer in women is inextricably linked to liver qi stagnation, so let go of anything that upsets you any more. My former neighbor was a woman, in her 30s, who had breast cancer in the midst of a quarrel because of her husband's lust for a woman in an outside ditch. But its son is very good at school, the woman had surgery and chemotherapy for two stages, her husband's surface to maintain the tranquility of the home, do show to the son, but secretly with the mistress has been in contact with the woman knows it all, its mood has been bad, it did not take long for the breast cancer to recur. From cancer to pass away, just six months. After her death, junior couldn't wait to get in the door, all her things all lost, redecorating. It didn't take long to realize that the feng shui of this house is not good, sell and re-buy the house, when they moved, I saw her son, I suddenly very bitter, very sad.
In fact, people are on the earth is a hurried passer-by, from the birth of a step towards death, in the process, tasted all the flavors of the world, experienced a variety of ups and downs. But as long as the heart is merciful, will be everything to look down and open, there is nothing can not get through. Happy is also a day, unhappy is also a day, and happy is good for health, but unhappy is harmful to the body, so why not be happy? Living for your son is your motivation and goal, other than that, everything else is just clouds.
I wish you a speedy recovery and a new life!
Honey, it's so possible!
I was diagnosed with breast cancer last October and had two major surgeries, the first for ductal carcinoma in situ, and the second major pathology came back with microinvasions, so I had a total resection. Luckily the lymphatic biopsy did not metastasize and there were no distant metastases. After the surgery, according to the pathology, my attending physician gave me a treatment plan of chemotherapy four times, no drugs, and no targeted therapy, is a regular review on the line.
Unfortunately, during the breast hospitalization, and found that the thyroid cancer, in February this year to do a total cut, take two tablets of Eucerin every day, and there is no adverse reaction.
You see, I had three general anesthesia surgeries and two cancers in six months, isn't that cool?
When you are sick, give it to a professional doctor, standardize the treatment, the breast belongs to the body surface organs, even if there is a disease, it is much better than the internal organs lesions, you actively cooperate, do not do not care about it, do not care too much, do what you do!
See your child is six years old, my child is ten years old, are precisely the time of growth, every day there are things to do, give them to do good food, take the children out to play, after school children at home to fight, children go to school, just do their own thing, but also very good oh!
It varies from person to person
My mother had a mastectomy in mid-April 16, when it was cancer that had invaded the nipple and there was no way to save the breast. She had to undergo a full mastectomy with axillary lymphatic metastasis, low differentiation, and went to chemotherapy half a month after the surgery. She had low white blood cells before the chemotherapy and finished it after one day of treatment, and she has not been to the hospital since then. The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money to pay for it!
The 10-year survival rate for early-stage breast cancer is very high, and breast cancer is one of the few cancers that can be "cured" with early detection.
And you already have the awareness to change your temper, improve your lifestyle, and have regular checkups, which is a prerequisite for success in the fight against cancer! You should have faith that you can live with your child until his 60th year! Spirituality is very powerful and can help us fight cancer better.
Let me say more about the treatment and survival rate of breast cancer, which is the main question you asked.
1. Breast Cancer TreatmentFirst of all, there is no uniform treatment plan for everyone, and the treatment plan needs to be analyzed according to the patient's individual situation.
Taking into account the size and spread of the cancer, as well as the patient's age and overall health, the following treatments can be used: surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, and treatments for symptoms such as pain.
Surgery and radiation therapy are specific to the area of the disease, such as surgical removal of part or all of the breast and radiation therapy for cancer.
Chemotherapy and hormone therapy, on the other hand, target cells throughout the body. Chemotherapy drugs kill all the cells in the body that are growing too fast, including cancer cells. Because breast cancer swelling is closely related to hormone levels in the body, hormone therapy can help prevent the tumor from expanding.
There are also targeted therapies that are directed against the cancer cells, and the drugs used today are usually XX monoclonal antibody and XX tinib.
In addition is for the treatment process of pain, vomiting and other symptoms, the use of painkillers, antiemetic drugs and other drugs to treat the symptoms.
2. Survival rate of breast cancerThis is closely related to the early and late detection of breast cancer. According to the US data, the 5-year survival rate after diagnosis of Stage 0 and Stage 1 breast cancer is almost 100%, but at Stage 4, the 5-year survival rate drops to 22%.
Domestic data show that survival rates for early-stage breast cancer can also reach more than 90%, and may drop to about 10% in advanced stages, depending on the patient's body and treatment.
In the end, this is also the calculated probability of occurrence in the population, down to the head of the individual, is 100%, the late-stage there are also very good examples of survival.
The most important thing to remember is that if you have the confidence and belief that you can get the treatment you need, you may be the lucky one. For the sake of life, for the sake of the children, for the sake of the family, go for it!
This is really not a problem. We have a big sister in our neighborhood, got breast cancer, metastasized to a lot of organs, the uterus annex gallbladder all cut, although the husband serves annoyed every day cursed her early death, but the big sister is very competitive, more than 20 years later, is still easy to live. Every day in the district to organize everyone square dance, often with sisters to travel, from time to time to stare at the stock market small profit, the weekend to go to his son's home to see the grandchildren, usually with the husband fight, not to mention live a more dashing and comfortable. (So you can definitely do it too.)
Totally doable. I work in a hospital, I have two colleagues and your age is about the same, also is the early and middle stage of breast cancer, the recovery after surgery are good, they all belong to the endocrine type, the latest research found that breast cancer early five-year survival rate of 100%. My father-in-law had early stage rectal cancer, he was found in 2013 and had surgery, now he has been doing well, and he even picks up our kids. Relax your mind, breast cancer is closely related to emotions, adjust your mind and have regular checkups, you will be fine. Breast cancer is one of the cancers with a high cure rate, so I wish you the best of luck!
First of all, don't be afraid, timely medical treatment, give with the treatment, correct mindset, do well
Dare to say so, because I am a year after the brain tumor surgery, this tumor pathology is benign, in addition to some sequelae, the other are slowly overcome. At the beginning, I spent every day in fear, afraid of recurrence, afraid of time is running out, I am the same age as you, is 83 years old, I have a 10-year-old son, it is the age of the old and the young struggling, gray days will always be over, since now there is a life to live, try to live well, as for the future, do not think about it, give it to the time, come on!
Of course, my mother was forty-three years old when she got it, middle and late stage, resection surgery, this year, sixty-six years old, quite good, of course, to maintain a good mood, eat more high-protein food, relax, what disease is not terrible
Breast Cancer TreatmentsBreast cancer has many treatments, including:
Surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, breast cancer treatment, breast cancer treatment. Surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, pain management, and other methods. Each stage of cancer has a different treatment plan, and most people need a combination of two or more treatments.
Your doctor will determine the stage of your cancer and then decide on the best treatment plan based on your stage and other factors such as age, family history, mutation status, and personal medical history.
Treatment for early-stage breast cancer may not be effective for advanced breast cancer. Breast cancer stages range from 0 to 4. Different factors determine your stage, including:
Doctors use different tests to stage breast cancer for treatment. Imaging tests include CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds, X-rays, and PET scans.
These help doctors narrow down where the cancer is, calculate the size of the tumor, and determine if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
If imaging tests show a mass in another part of the body, your doctor can perform a biopsy to see if the mass is malignant or benign. A physical examination and blood tests can also help with staging.
Factors affecting breast cancer treatmentWhile breast cancer staging has a lot to do with treatment choices, other factors can also affect your treatment choices.
Age
The prognosis for breast cancer is usually worse in women younger than 40 because breast cancer tends to be more aggressive in younger women.
Balancing physical impact and risk reduction may play a role in the decision between mastectomy and mastectomy.
In addition to surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, several years of hormone therapy for hormone-positive breast cancer is often recommended for young women. This can help prevent the breast cancer from coming back or spreading.
For premenopausal women, ovarian suppression may be recommended in addition to hormone therapy.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy can also affect breast cancer treatment. Breast cancer surgery is usually safe for pregnant women, but doctors may discourage chemotherapy unless it's in an intermediate to advanced stage.
Hormone therapy and radiation therapy can harm an unborn baby and are not recommended during pregnancy.
Tumor growth
Treatment also depends on how fast the cancer grows and spreads.
If you have aggressive breast cancer, your doctor may recommend a more aggressive approach, such as a combination of surgery and other therapies.
Genetic mutation status and family history
Treatment for breast cancer may depend in part on a close relative with a history of breast cancer or a gene that tests positive for a gene that increases the risk of developing breast cancer.
Women with these factors may opt for preventive surgical methods, such as bilateral mastectomy.
Breast cancer survivalBreast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women. Incidence is on the rise, with approximately 2 million new cases worldwide each year.
In the United States alone, the American Cancer Society (ACS) predicts that 13% of women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) estimates that by 2020, 276,480 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and about 42,170 of them will die from the disease.
The ACS also predicts that by 2020, about 2,620 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and about 520 of them will die from the disease.
From 2007 to 2016, the incidence of breast cancer increased slightly, at a rate of 0.3% per year.
According to the ACS, thanks to early detection and improved treatments, breast cancer deaths fell by 40 percent from 1989 to 2017.
Breast cancer death rates for women under 50 have remained stable since 2007, while death rates for older women declined by 1.3% per year from 2013 to 2017.
Breast Cancer Staging Survival
The stage of breast cancer is related to how far the cancer has spread. Typically, the earlier the breast cancer is diagnosed and treated, the higher the chances of long-term survival.
These stages are based on the following factors:
Since 2018, the following factors have also been used to determine breast cancer stage:
