How Does Breast Cancer Metastasis Happen and How Can You Treat it? 

Can we please have a video explaining the diagnostic tests that need to be done yearly after treatments are over to check for re-uccerance or metastasis elsewhere. Any abnormal symptoms need to be checked for sure but many times there aren't any before cancer rears up so can any regular checks and tests help? Thanks so much of your simple explanation to such a complex disease

Thank you, Dr. Griggs for your informative advice.

thank for informative medical data about breast cancer.

My oldest and dearest BFF is battling this wretched disease. I turned her on to your videos because it’s the most informative. I thank you from the bottom of my grief stricken heart.

I had breast cancer diagnosis in1998. Now in 2024 after having a ct scan an adrenal nodule increased from 15mm to 22mm. Also DHEA was elevated. I also had estrogen positive receptors

MBC patient here (but oligo and de novo, not a recurrence)...Never heard of the basement membrane before, very interesting. Thank you for another informative video ❤

Thank you so much for all your useful videos, my question is how to detect metastases and discover it as early as possible… how often should the PET Scan should be done for example to check for all the body

Thank you

Your page is so informative...thank you. Could you clarify something for me? So, with early stage breast cancer, State 1A, grade 2, Her 2 negative, ER and PR positive, with no positive lymph nodes, this still could spread through the blood stream and be there, somewhere, elsewhere in the body?

Thank you so much for all the information you provide us cancer patients with ,..I have a great oncologist but there are a lot of questions that come up that so far you have answered in a very kind ,and reassuring way,…my twin sister had her breast cancer 12 years ago,so far so good afther op,radiation and chemo ,my mother is battling breast cancer chronically and my niece dead of breast cancer quite young,I am ,since last year June number four..Her2 1+(or low ..as you explained in another video)I have had my operation and radiation and am now on anastrazol..my oncologist expects a 100% recovery ,my tumor was invasive but very small ,I am very optimistic but there are always some questions that come up that I would not like to bother my family or oncologist with,questions that are not relevant for the situation I am in at the moment but that you just want to prepare/yourself for,,just in case,,😶Thank you very much for your time ,greetings from Croatia..🙂👋

I've been watching your Videos about Breast cancer ,since I was diagnosed with it ,stage 2, but I was lucky enough that my oncologist just adviced me to have radiation therapy. It's been 3 mos now , radiation treatment is over, but still under hormonal meds Letrozole and bone infusion, I just want to ask how come I'm having so much pain in my muscles, bone , limb area, hips when I walk, BTW, i had right breast mastectomy .....does Letrozole makes my bone /muscle weak , is this really normal?

Does Ribocicilib 600mg+Letrozole works in case of tamoxifin failure and recurrence of Hormone + Breast Ca in Femur and spine area?

Hi I'm a cancer patient since last year. It all started with a lump right breast. I've been thru a lumpectomy chemotherapy and radiation now I'm on a pill for 5 years tamaxophen. Now I need to fix my mouth and I need dentures. I don't feel safe doing my mouth because if they pull out the few teeth I got to put dentures I think it could cause the cancer to come back. Can you advise me what to do and if it's all in my mind what I'm thinking?

How do you find out whether your cancer is still growing during and in spite of a current chemotherapy treatment? You have so many different side effects from the chemo that listening in to your body just gives you anxiety, but no knowledge, no clues. What side effects are worth while talking over in detail with your medical team, and what side effects will trigger their knowledge and make them recommend further scans?

Can ribociclib cure cancer, i had metastatic breast cancer moderate in my lung.

Hi Dr what tests can be done to find out if you have cancer beside Mammograms.

I've been recently diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer. The original plan was to have a lumpectomy, but an MRI revealed more suspicious areas and larger tumors than originally seen on mammogram and ultrasound. At age 58, the question kept arising as to whether or not I've gone through menopause. Since I've had irregular uterine bleeding for a number of years, more tests were ordered and pathology results confirm that I also have uterine cancer. So is this considered metastasis? Or is it considered two primary cancers? I am scheduled for a double mastectomy surgery in conjunction with a total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy before the end of this year. This video says that surgery is not usually part of the treatment plan. Am I going into surgery prematurely? Should more testing be done?

Is it possible to do surgery for secondary breast cancer

If there is a patient who are the very good responser of endocrine and targeted therapy ,Can we expect the long term recovery?

Is their any way triple negative breast Cancer metastatic spread to liver, bone and lungs be cured if the biospy of the liver is also triple negative

i have a spread
