If you have had a diagnosis of breast cancer have you considered your options ? Depending on the stage or phase of the cancer development, you may have more choices than you think. Read this short article and empower yourself with the truth about the diagnosis of breast cancer. Most all that are going to have a diagnosis of breast cancer will be women, so this article will be focused on them.
A diagnosis of breast cancer is certainly not the end of the world for the woman and sometimes the man that is diagnosed with this cancer. There are many options available to the sufferer of breast cancer. When the news comes back from the doctor that a test on a lump or area of the breast is indeed cancerous, a woman may feel a bit nervous or even scared. Immediately the others she has heard about who have had a diagnosis of breast cancer and did not fare very well may come to mind. But for the woman who is informed, and especially for the woman who is has informed herself of the primary cause of cancer, this information is a small surprise.
As far back as the 1930’s, the primary cause of cancer has been known. This makes a diagnosis of breast cancer a “blot on the face” of the medical industry. A Doctor by the name of Otto Warburg was awarded the Nobel prize two times for his work in finding out the primary cause of cancer. If you are a woman who lives in Western society, you will do well to look up the great contribution this man made to health. Nevertheless, for those of you who have already been given a diagnosis of breast cancer, you need some answers soon. If the cancer has progressed too far, you may need radical mastectomy just to save your life. If you have an early stage of breast cancer, you may not need anything but a change of diet or lifestyle to avert another diagnosis of breast cancer in the future and to deal with the one you have at the moment.
If you have been given the diagnosis of breast cancer with an advanced stage of cancer, the Food and Drug Administration has approved a certain drug for your treatment. The drug tykerb, also called lapatanib, is used together with another drug, capactabine, to attempt to control the breast cancer. These drugs supposedly deprive the breast cancer tumor of the signals it needs to grow. This drug was approved in 2007 using a study ( clinical trial ) done with four hundred women. There is no mortality data yet on those women who had a diagnosis of breast cancer and took these new drugs.
For those who have a diagnosis of breast cancer and are at an early progression of the cancer, you should consider what Doctor Otto Warburg suggested. He suggested the removal of the tumor and to add those things to the diet that would prevent cancer from growing or returning. If you know that cancer get its basic energy from sugar, you should realize that sugars in a large abundance in the diet will of course feed the cancer. If you also know that a normal healthy cell uses oxygen for basic energy, you should learn how to oxygenate your body so that another diagnosis of breast cancer will not be occurring in your lifetime.
