Thank you so much. I got a complicated breast cyst on my last ultrasound…

Excellent explanation… thank you!

Love your videos thank you Doc!

Hi Doc Do you do 2nd opinion of breast images/mri/pathology?

They found two groups of calcifications, 7cm in total both. Birads 4A. Was sent for biopsy. I am not worried at all. 3weeks of waiting which somehow tells me it is benign. Its not a lump and i did not feel anything. It has been seen in the mammogram. I am sure they will prescribe some hormones and that will be all! Thank you for a wonderful piece of knowledge!Have a great day!

Thiswas helpful, though a little difficult to imagine witout visual examples. I have both ductal and lobular in one breast.

I have multiple breast cyst but I believe in Jesus. God healed me and got normal reports. Thanks Jesus

Straight to the point. This video hit me 😢 I just got diagnosed with DCIS and I had a lumpectomy this month. Margins came back positive for DCIS and I was suggested mastectomy, I was very confident of doing it but then I saw testimonials of women in KZbin saying DCIS is over treated and prevention treatments are as aggressive as invasive cancer… I was thinking of not going forward with the mastectomy, but your video was a reality check, I should be feeling lucky they caught it early. Internet can be information or misinformation world. Scary. Thank you for sharing it was very helpful.

Such a great explanation. Thank you for sharing.❤

I didn't know there were different categories of density. This was very helpful. Thank you.

You seem very intelligent and obviously informed about breast cancer. You make women feel very concerned and then we go and look at your website and it costs hundreds of dollars to speak with someone for a few minutes about our concerns, hmmm...

What about "invasive ductal carcinoma with lobular features" as it was described in my biopsy?

Thank you so much. Beautifully intelligent and clear explanation.

I was diagnosed with DCIS in 2021 I went in for my routine mammogram and was told that they need to redo the mammogram of the left breast. I did and was told the doctor wanted to speak to me, she told me i needed to have a biopsy after which I received the result that said I had DCIS and I would need surgery and radiation treatment. My surgery was 26th April, 2021 and radiation treatment in July 2021. Last mammogram was January of this year all clear and I return to once a year mammogram next year. Yearly mammogram and genetic testing is important, i had a sister who passed away with breast cancer, i have no idea what happen sadly she chose to not get treatment. I got genetic tested and mines was not genetic.

What is Myoepithelial cells

What about when in addition to IDC it’s also apocrine? Could apocrine be the result of aluminum from anti-transpirants blocking some sweat glands?

Your story was not wasted and just what i needed as i been scared awhile now. I have had dcis for the past two years always had a hard time getting tested due to my weight. So first time testing it too was 3 tries on each breast and a mri scan. I had dcis in sitsu that was about 2 or 3 years ago. I had calcifications in left breast and pron in right for same problems. I never kept appointment with surgeon as i was scared. Last year had a stroke. Being locked up in a nursing home like a prisoner by the state was bad enough, then worker there told my family ill always be crazy and unable to walk and the state worker in charge of me never addressed my breast problems. I knew i had to learn how to walk and get checked and i had to do it myself state worker didnt care. So i got released in april practiced how to stand. Called my breast nurse told her i needed a check. So they tried to check while i was sitting. Again my breast folds got in the way so i get to do it again next month. So no results were given but two nurses blurted out to me aftertest i had cancer. I corrected and said no im in sitsu and i get checked next month. Now i have another issue with my thyroid and noduals that im also getting tested and i feel like my bodys trying to kill me. Your story helped me alot cause i did find out i do have more calcifications in my left breast. This is alot with having to deal with the stroke and dizzyness nausia at same time and being scared. So thank you, ill take her fear seriously and try very hard not to make same mistake. Thank you.

Thankyou ❤

Hi Dr. Thanks for the videos. I just had surgery to remove a small mass papilloma. My online chart says it was found to be atypical ductal hyperplasia. Another biopsy of the portion removed says focus of atypical ductal hyperplasia. I'm not concerned about this yet as haven't went back to see what my surgeon says yet. Where I'm concerned is I've had 2 lympectomies already on the opposite breast to remove what was cancer. I also had on that same side a lymph node with cancer. So here 3 yrs. later on my good breast is where they did a lympectomy for this atypical ductal hyperplasia so having had 3 cancers removed on the opposite side 3 yrs ago does this mean I should worry about this? Thanks so much

Thank you for the information 🙏 I have been diagnosed with an intraductal papilloma with atypical hyperplasia which was biopsies via a CNB. I am scheduled for surgery to remove the tumor. Would it be advisable to do another biopsy after final excision? I'm 29 and I have two kids. I'm just worried about the accuracy of the CNB.

Dear doctor i am a cll cancer patient since one year. Please suggest me what should i do to live longer.

How sad for anyone to ignore Cancer. I have Invasive ductal carcinoma. I opted for a radical double mastectomy. No other treatment. 4:43

Thank you for your continuous support.

Why isnt DCIS considered a precursor to change diet that prevent invasive Carcinoma? If there is no known fact as to which will invade and wont, can lifestyle changes cause DCIS to regress?

What about DCIS that never cause a problem? Is all DCIS a precancerous precursor to invasive cancer?

Thank you. I appreciate your information. I have breast ductal cancer and had it removed. The sentinel lymph node and one next to it were removed. I skipped the chemo and radiation prior to surgery since I have cancer elsewhere in remission thanks to immunology. I am finishing up targeted radiation and hope I get at a least five years out of it.

Hi Doctor. Thank you for your channel. Would you go over information about Papillary Carcinoma (ER+,PR+, KI67- ~5%, Grade1)as well? Just got dx in early 40s and not enough info out there. I am newly married and want to try to have kids and worried that I may have to be on tamoxifen when I don't really have time as I am in my 40s. If my papillary carcinoma is well contained and clear margin, not yet invasive, hormonal therapy is still a must? Also, does papillary carcinoma feels bigger/longer lump than the actual ultrasound tumor size?

Thank you for your videos. Is there any advantage to having the ovaries removed in ER positive breast cancer? If there is nothing to produce oestrogen then surely this could have the same effect as tamoxifen without the side effects of this drug? Obviously there are other effects in the body from having no oestrogen but I just wondered if ovariectomy was an option in such a case?

I was diagnosed with DCIS in February this year through biopsy. I had my right mastectomy with axillary lymph nodes extracted in mid-April. This Friday, I am getting the results. I am so anxious. The scar is healed but having a problem of stretching my arm.

I was diagnosed with stage 2 invasive ductal and invasive lobular cancer in my right breast with a positive lymph node. My left breast had stage 0 ductal. I was treated with chemotherapy and radiation. It will be 4 years in September that I’m cancer free. I worry because it became invasive. My doctor always says if something bothers me call her. It makes me feel like it’s going to come back when she says this. I had a chemo doctor who said his mom had the same cancer and it came back and she died. I think positive most of the time but their is always that statement of his in the back of my mind. Does invasive cancer always come back?

Very informative. Thank you.

Love your channel. Your spirit shows your reverence and respect for the body and your sharing of the science is also respectful. Some of us want to know what docs know and many docs not only don’t have time to share but aren’t willing to educate. Thank you!!!

Why is tamoxifen only prescribe to for 5 years what happens after you stop taking it?

Greetings, how long does it take before a tumor is formed in case of invasive ductal carcinoma? I have had surgery and taking chemo therapy now. My er and pr are positive and her2 is 0 in this case do i need hormone therapy

My Dr just found my atypical ductal hyperplasia Weds during an excisional biopsy to remove an adenoma😞

3/16/2023 - Please stop saying “a number of” when communicating quantities. By doing so you are including vagueness into an otherwise intelligent commentary. For example, you can say “the number of studies completed is three,” but it is meaningless to say “a number of studies were completed.”

Thank you for this video, which confirms I'm on the right path. DCIS found at the 5 o'clock region of my left breast after a routine mammogram. I immediately was referred to an Oncology Surgeon, who ordered his own mammograms and ultrasounds of both breasts, knowing that DCIS had already been identified. He wanted to be certain this one area was the only area. Turns out, I have DCIS at the 1 o'clock and 3 o'clock areas of the same breast. Three areas on the left breast, and the right breast is clear. A mastectomy was recommended, and I've decided to have a bilateral mastectomy, which is scheduled for April 4. Again, thank you for this video.

Hi, I'm hoping you can help me with something. Do I need to worry about fna proved fibroadenoma's that keep getting bigger? I had two, of which one shrunk and is gone now. But the other one, that also looked different (lobulated), is still getting bigger. First time it was around 2 cm , next time it was >3 cm, I think now it could be <4 cm. If they grow and shrink because of hormonal changes, shouldn't multiple fibroadenoma shrink or grow simultaneously? It don't like the idea that this one is still there, and is still growing. (without pregnancy) Also there is a new small thin/bean shaped lump, do I need to get every new lump checked? I have a lot of other severe health issues, so I don't want to waste my energy for this if it isn't necessary, but I do want to be cautious. Thank you for spreading information this way!

Thank you 🙏 My older sister just got diagnosed with this.

Oh my heavens! I have been graced by god twice. 2018 I had DCIS, age 48. I had a lumpectomy. 4 years later, atypical ductial carcinoma I chose a double mastectomy. I am so grateful that this was caught twice early. Woman need to take care of themselves. Breast cancer kills.

I'm slim, with very low body fat and extremely dense breasts that BTW are also so small they're hardly compatible with a mammogram machine. Last summer I felt a small hard lump in my breast, the size of a pea, I had a mammogram done and then an ultrasound. Both tests were only able to confirm that my 1.4 cm lump looked suspicious. Another ultrasound was performed plus a needle biopsy that showed the lump was a hormone positive ductal carcinoma. It took an MRI with contrast to spot a few more tiny lesions around the main lump. At that point they wanted to biopsy those too but I said no thanks and asked for a mastectomy. The pathology report from the surgery confirmed the presence of a few tiny cancers a few centimetres away from the main lump. Thank goodness, no lymph node involvement and clear margins. That's more than enough proof that with breasts like mine a yearly mammogram+ ultrasound is totally useless to detect small lesions until they're large enough to be felt and seen... I plan to have another mastectomy ASAP for peace of mind.

Mine turned into a 10x4 cm tumor. Ductile Carcinoma In Situ. For over 15 yrs I had routine mammograms. Everything is fine they told me and in September I ended up with the Carcinoma. Slow growing they told me, how doing I end up with a monster tumor since 1 yr ago? Had a mastectomy and 3 lymph nodes removed. Had an immediate silicone implant and having complications. What a nightmare.

Thank you so much for explaining this so clearly.
