Hi, I'm new to this subject although I belong to 4 other diseases here at Healing Well. I will keep it short, 1yr ago I had a mass removed from my left breast bone, I did the follow up mammograms and all was well for a while. I went back on hormone replacement therapy 6 months ago. For clarification, I had Gamma Knife radiation for a brain tumor, my second, and 9 months later I had to have a complete hysterectomy, I was 40. I had been on Estradiol 2mg for 18 months when the mass showed up. When I went back on them, I have a .5mg patch 1xweek and 100mg progesterone 1xday. And this time the stuff is all over my breast bone and there some other lumps on the side. I'm getting a diagnostic mammogram and an ultrasound today. Since I had the radiation in 2008 I have gotten steadily sicker and sicker, I have 3 Autoimmune diseases and I can't even get a dr. who will treat the new one, plus I am menopausal, I can't take anymore Western Treatment, so what are chances of survival if it is cancer?

It all depends on what kinds of tumors you are talking about. They were certainly checked by histology department. What did the doctors say? Were they carcinomas or other invasive cancers? Mass could mean anything.

Did your doctor approve of returning to hormone replacement? After I had breast cancer I stopped cold! But my cancer was hormone receptive and invasive. I had to take anti-hormone meds.

Age makes a difference, after the type of tumor. There is an article on this site about the study that shows that older women do not benefit from radiation in certain cases. I didn't need chemo, and wish I had refused rads. Radiation left me with a cooked lymphatic system on one side. I didn't tolerate the anti-hormone meds, so am "going bare" at this time and being checked - blood tests - twice a year.

There are many alternatives to get your sick body well.  I would look into a doctor detoxification program to eliminate toxins, xenoestrogens, and just to clean out.  Also boost your immune system with IV vitamin C or high dose lipospheric vitamin C, use a infrared sauna and sweat the toxins out.  One new nutrient in promise with BC is sulforophane.  wink

The mass they took out a year ago was benign and I was off hormone for over a year but I was 40 when i had my hysterectomy and living without them is torture. For me quality of life is WAY more important because I'm living on borrowed time anyway. And I can't take any immune boosters as I have 3 autoimmune diseases but I will look into the detox, what are xenoestrogens? Thank you very much for your responses.
