Doing a review is good teaching. Students need to review in order to keep pertinent information fresh. This is another piece of teaching that all good teachers use. My sister had endometrial cancer stage 1. She later developed a lesion in her vagina and another in her bowel. Her testing for genetic cancer came back negative. I breathed a deep sigh of relief. Both my dad and my brother died from cancer. Nevertheless, I keep all of my appointments for cancer screening.
This video was a little harder to get but, in the end, I did. I knew I would because I have been watching your videos in order and you refresh my memory with an outline review before going into the topic. I love your way of teaching. 💕 See you next week.
I just learned about asbestos exposure being a risk factor for ovarian cancer, and this concerns me due to the second hand exposure I may have received as a child due to my father's profession.
My sweet mother beat stage 3 ovarian cancer in 2000. She was 62. She went on to pass away from dementia at 86. The cancer never came back after surgery, chemo and a grueling clinical trial that probably saved her life and killed every single microscopic cancer cell. It wasn't without cost. My mom had a hysterectomy in her 40s... no hrt.. she had osteoporosis at 65. Broke her hip at 84. She thought maybe she got cancer from all the Chemicals sprayed in the cotton fields growing up in the Mississippi delta. It's so confusing😢
A year ago I had never heard of Lynch Syndrome, and 10 months later I had surgery to prevent ovarian and uterine cancer because of the risk that comes with the genetic mutation I have.
Well, I am so glad that you had the preventive surgery you needed to lower your risk of these cancers. And I am also glad that you now have the education to go with it.
You can stay on it as long as you want. Many women have the misconception that estrogen replacement is something they should take for a few years and then stop. Let’s consider this logically. HRT is hormone replacement for a hormone deficiency. It’s no different than taking insulin replacement for insulin deficiency or thyroid hormone replacement for thyroid hormone deficiency (hypothyroidism). So, if you were diabetic and took insulin replacement, how long would you take it? If you had hypothyroidism, how long would you take thyroid hormone replacement. The principle for any hormone deficiency is the same: Your body cannot function properly without the hormones that it produced on its own. If your own body stops producing those hormones, you have about 20 symptoms to alert you to the fact that something is missing. If you do not replace the hormone, it leads to fatal diseases. If you take any kind of hormone replacement for a hormone deficiency, you take it for the rest of your life. Why would estrogen replacement for estrogen deficiency be any different? If a diabetic told you that she was going to stop taking her insulin, what would you think? And what do you suppose would happen to a diabetic who stops taking her insulin? All the consequences of insulin deficiency will start all over again: first the symptoms, and then the fatal diseases. Estrogen replacement is no different. The only reason there is any notion of doing things differently for estrogen replacement is due to fear, not logic.
Hi. I met with you 2 weeks ago. I had blood work done and my estrogen is fine progesterone slight low. Im working on vagal tone. Polyvagal somatic healing. That dr didnt think my symptoms were from my hormones.
