Patient discussion about Fun bags. Q. Is it a breast cancer? My cousin, 30/female. She says that while she do some heavy work her right side breast is paining heavily. I am scared, whether is it a symptom of a breast cancer or something else. I like to help & comfort her? A. Wow! quite a hot discussion in here.. I will say, what lixurion shared to us here is probably something new for all of us, and we need to consider it as additional knowledge, BUT I will also encourage darwin to help his cousin to check her right breast to a doctor (maybe even an oncologist). If you agree with lixurion, then your oncologist should be able to detect the lump, and if it is needed, the doctor will do Fine Needle Aspiration to check it. Or if the effect of mammography is that bad, your doctor still can use ultrasound to check the inner tissue of her right breast. The earlier a breast cancer is detected, the better the outcome result will be.. Q. Can I diagnose breast cancer without doctor? A. Then it is time mrfoot56 that you read the thousands of testimonies from persons cured by vitamin B17 from cancer. The prove will never come, because your authorities don't want them. Write them and ask them why they don't want to analyse vitamin B17 and tell us here their answer. Q. What does it mean when you have breast cancer in three different areas? My friend just found out that she has breast cancer in her right breast but three different lump types of cancer in one breast, and it has affected her lymph nodes at least two of them. What are her chances and what stage cancer would that be? She is going to be having a mastectomy and chemo. A. Did they biopsied the lumps? Are they sure they are cancerous? If so that means it might got metastasized, the cancerous cells can move around in the blood stream and then just start “hook” on an organ and continue multiplying. That is a malignant and dangerous situation. Read more or ask a question about Fun bagsHow to thank TFD for its existence?
