Are There Other Options to Treat Breast Cancer Rather Than Chemotherapy? 

I’ve had hr positive breast cancer twice and chemo has never been offered. Tamoxifen the first time and Letrozole for the current diagnosis. I’ve been lucky.

PS Thank you for such a helpful video. Very nice to hear her sincere help!

Good morning everyone!! Praying for stronger vibes today!! Happy Monday!!

Thnks Dr.Jennifer..🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹eventhough I'm healthy...there's nothing wrong to knw and take note info's given...👌

Thanks for this insightful video, it is really educative… medical treatments are good ,know also that Jesus heals every stage and type of cancer. He can do that during your treatment or He does it without the treatment at all(Miraculously). He healed me of breast cancer completely while I prayed and serve Him. May God heal every sick person here in Jesus name. Amen

Can you elaborate a little about chemotherapy before vs after menopause? Does being premenopausal make needing chemotherapy more or less likely?

This was very interesting. Thank you very much

Thank you for your helpful information.

Thank you for this very informative video

What would be the exceptions to the rule of starting with oral medications (AI's etc.) first and chemo later with Stage 4/MBC? That is, in what sorts of cases might they actually start with chemo first? I have Stage 4 MBC de novo (hormone +, HER2-) with bone mets in just two main spots; waiting to find out if doctors are going to consider it "oligometastatic" and treat accordingly. Although I'm not asking for specific medical advice here, I am wondering if chemo would sometimes come first when it's a case of oligometastatic disease, de novo, or if you were referring to other sorts of scenarios. Thanks so much.

Dr. I'm a 45 yo with Grade 2, ER 95% PR 100% HER 2-. Tumor 3.2cm, 1 lymph node affected, Ki-67 15%. My doctor wants me to do chemo and not get Oncotype test. Just do chemo regardless - 4 rounds of TC. Any thoughts pls? Thank you so much ❤

Hi Doctor. I am 59yo. I was diagnosed of invasive lobular carcinoma, stage1a, grade 2, estrogen and progesterone postive, HER2 negative. Ki67-10-20%. Is chemotherapy benificial to me? I dont have cancer in my lymphnodes, my surgeon took 2 during my lumpectomy and 0 for cancer. The cancer they were taken is 1.2 x 1.2 x .9. I am still waiting for MDT meeting. Is it possible just to do radiation then hormonal or endocrine therapy? Thank you so much.

Interesting to know if these comments on pros and cons of hormone therapy versus chemotherapy as first defense apply to endometrial cancer.

57 y old, diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, ER+, PR+, HER2- T4,N1,M0, recieved Letrozol for one and half year, then total mastectomy done with sentinel LN. Two positive out of 19 LN removed. after histopathology: T2N1a, PR become negative, ER +, HER2 still negative...please do i need chemotherapy or what...very thanks

question please,why not just remove the ovaries from the start So to lower the estrogen in the system thats what Tomoxifine does,??? the cardio side effects are much easier to treat then cancer ????

Hi! My mom was recently diagnosed with her2 positive hormone negative breast cancer, stage 2. She was recommended to have chemo first, but she is deciding to go with the lumpectomy first and go from there. Do you have any thoughts on this? Is this a mistake?

question please,???? there's dozens of drugs to stop the ovaries from making estrogen,chemo shuts down the ovaries correct, ???arromitase inhibitors stop the body from making estrogen from testosterone correct ???,i do understand our bodies system requires estrogen to metabolize many things,but too much also causes problems, is it not easier to treat the arising problems from no ovaries then it is to treat breast cancer,,,and since the female body knows when in life to turn the ovaries off this process is coming anyway correct ???,hot flashes plus mood swings are very easily treated by supporting the hypothalmus it is our bodies thermostat correct ??? isnt this why the natural menopause process takes up to and sometimes more then a year to complete ???, its giving the endocrine system time to adjust to lower amounts estrogen in the system,,there's so many differing opinions out there !!!!,,a cancer cell starts out as a normal cell but then mutates due to many different factors but the main factor seems to be too much estrogen,this is why all the treatments stop the estrogen by 1 way or another correct ????,thank you for your videos,

What about: Invasive poor-differentiated ductal carcinoma. 4.2 cent. Triple negative no lymph nodes swollen. Estrogen is not causing it. Is a lumpectomy only a good option? It is chemo necessary?

Hello Doctor , I have IDC , Tumor size 3.3 and Iam 24 years old . Iam tripple positive ER+ PR+ and HER2+ . I don’t want to do neither chemo and neither hormone therapy , I only want to take the tumor out and do radiation . What you think about this?

I know you mentioned in the "rare type of breast cancer" video that usually Papillary Carcinomas often don't get chemo. How about Invasive Papillary Carcinoma, no lymphnode, 28mm, clear margin. Will this need chemo? Other sources say it's rare to get chemo. How common for IPC to reocurr?

Hello Dr. What are your thoughts on the treatment for occult breast cancer? I have just been diagnosed and am waiting for my treatment plan. Thank you. I have not found much information on occult breast cancer.

In early stage why is chemo given before hormone treatment? I have mucinous carcinoma grade 2 and have been told that chemo will be given. I’m 42. Upon research I h e read that hormone therapy is required for this type of cancer . Should I get a second opinion? I really don’t want chemo especially if hormone therapy can work.

if you are very early 40's, and had partial lumpectomy, would removing ovaries be an option to help (if that person is ok with not having children) *but would like to not do Chemo

Hi. Im having stomach issues for the last 3 days after my chemo treatment. I have been drinking ginger tea?

Hi doctor , can invasive ductal carcinoma grand 2 be survived?

Is a T2N0 tumor always stage 2? Or will they also look at biomarkers and grade? Does stage 2 always get chemo or is it still based on onco dx score?

Small cyst in my breast...what the different of sizes of breast tumor or cyst.?

What is best treatment chemotherapy or not

I was diagnosed with Invasive DCIS and my breast surgeon recommended neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Why I didn’t have chemotherapy? I had high grade DCIS with micro invasion (T1mic), 1*0.5 cm, her2+, hormone negative. Only lumpectomy + 20 radiations given. Is this under treatment?

Good afternoon
