Breast Reconstruction Surgery Options After Mastectomy

March 3rd, 2010

Any woman facing mastectomy because of breast cancer has the right to have breast reconstruction. Breast reconstruction is not a cosmetic surgery procedure and is covered by insurance plans as long as the mastectomy is covered. There are many reconstructive options to choose from.

“Immediate” breast reconstruction is performed at the same time as the mastectomy. Advantages include: preserving most of the patient’s breast skin, a shorter and less obvious mastectomy scar, and waking up with the new breast already in place. It also generally provides the best cosmetic results particularly when combined with nipple-sparing or skin-sparing mastectomy.

Some patients do not have access to a reconstructive surgeon at the time of the mastectomy. Other patients are advised to avoid immediate reconstruction because radiation therapy is likely after the mastectomy. In these cases, the reconstruction can be performed some time after the mastectomy. This is known as “delayed reconstruction”.

The most common breast reconstruction procedure performed by American plastic surgeons utilizes implants to restore the breast shape and form. These can be either saline or silicone. Implant reconstruction is typically performed as two separate surgeries. The first involves placing a tissue expander (temporary implant) under the skin and pectoral muscle. This is used to expand the skin to the required size. The expander is later replaced by the permanent implant at a second surgery. A few surgeons prefer using a one-stage approach and place the permanent implant at the same time as the mastectomy. While not all patients are candidates, this is a very attractive option for many women because they avoid the entire tissue expander phase of the reconstruction.

Breast reconstruction with implants can provide excellent cosmetic results. However, the long term risk of complications is much higher than in women who have cosmetic breast enhancement with implants. The most common risks include contracture (hardening of the new breast), and implant ripples that can be felt and seen through the breast skin. These risks are increased if the patient has to undergo radiation as part of the cancer treatment.

The Latissimus flap, or “lat flap”, uses back tissue to reconstruct the new breast. The latissimus dorsi muscle, along with the overlying fat and skin, is rotated from below the shoulder blade region and through the armpit onto the front of the chest. This tissue is then shaped to form the new breast. Thinner patients typically also need an implant placed under this tissue to achieve an appropriate final breast size. The resulting scar over the mid-back is visible with some clothing and beach wear. Avid golfers and tennis players usually notice an initial loss of strength due to the latissimus muscle sacrifice, though in most cases other muscles compensate over time.

Tissue can also be taken from the lower abdomen to create the new breast. The TRAM flap uses the same tissue that is removed by a tummy tuck. This skin and fat is transferred along with variable amounts of the rectus (sit-up) muscle. This tissue can be tunneled under the upper abdominal skin (pedicled TRAM), or disconnected from the body and reconnected to the chest using microsurgery (free TRAM). All forms of TRAM flap can improve the abdominal contour just like a tummy tuck. Unfortunately, women can notice loss of abdominal muscle strength due to the sacrifice of the rectus muscle. There is also a risk of bulging of the tummy and even hernia.

DIEP flap breast reconstruction has replaced the TRAM flap as today’s gold standard in breast reconstruction. The DIEP flap uses only skin and fat. This is disconnected from the lower abdomen and reconnected to the chest area using microsurgery to create a new breast. Since all the abdominal muscles are saved, patients do not have to sacrifice their abdominal strength. They also experience less pain and have a quicker recovery than TRAM patients. The risk of abdominal bulging and hernia is also very small. The SIEA flap is a variation of the DIEP flap. It is associated with an even easier recovery and a 0% hernia risk but requires specific anatomy which not all patients have. Like the TRAM, the DIEP and SIEA procedures also provide a simultaneous tummy tuck.

There are a handful of other tissue options available for women who are not candidates or prefer to avoid using their abdominal tissue. These include the inner, upper thigh (TUG flap), lower buttock crease (IGAP), and upper buttock (SGAP). The best tissue option will depend on a number of factors, primarily the patient’s body habitus.

Microsurgical breast reconstruction procedures like the DIEP, TUG and GAP flaps are not offered routinely by many American plastic surgeons. There are many reasons for this, primarily the complexity of the surgery and the need for additional training. Unfortunately most patients seeking one of these breast reconstruction options after mastectomy will be forced to travel to specialized centers for their surgery.

Siberian Chaga Used in Russia as Cancer Drug

February 10th, 2010

Siberian chaga mushroom appears as a black mass on birch trees, dead or alive. Occasionally, it may also be seen growing on hornbeam, ash, elm or beech.

Europeans have used chaga for centuries as a cure for digestive ailments, tuberculosis, and cancers of the liver and heart. [121]

The traditional use was to peel the black skin of the mushroom and then boil it into a tea. Being a compact and easily portable medicinal made it very valuable to healers throughout history.

Today’s scientific focus on chaga extract is primarily as an anti-tumor remedy. In fact, it was approved in Russia as a cancer drug already in 1955, successfully used to treat cancers of the stomach, lungs, breasts and cervix. [122]

One modern study from 1998 showed that chaga extract did in fact inhibit growth of cervical cancer cell lines under lab conditions. [123] Another study from 1995 reported that an isolate of the active compound betulin first inhibited growth of melanoma cells in a lab, and then killed them. [124, 25]

Other research papers also confirm that some of the active compounds of chaga help retard the growth of cancer cells. [125, 126]

Betulin is a medically active compound from the birch tree that gets concentrated in the black outer skin of the chaga mushroom, which has been found to contain 30% betulin, [127] whereas the inside of the chaga mushroom contains fungal lanostanes. It would therefore be suggested that chaga tea is better made from the whole mushroom, including the black skin.

Even better are chaga extracts that are made with not only the whole mushroom but also the mycelium, because the mycelium contains higher levels of medicinal proteins than the fruit body of the mushroom.

Research on chaga has also reported potent anti-viral properties. Two studies on influenza virus [127] and HIV [128] were published with positive results in 1996. Chaga probably works on viruses indirectly by enhancing the human immune system, as indicated by two papers published in 2002 and 2005. [25, 129] Historical use of chaga as an anti-inflammatory may be attributed to that same mechanism. [130]

Furthermore, alcohol extract of chaga mushroom has been found to lower blood sugar levels. [131] Chaga also demonstrates significant antioxidant properties that help protect the genetic integrity of the cells. [132, 133]

As an amusing aside not related to human health, Siberian chaga may even be used as a tree medicine. Paul Stamets relates a story of a Quebec arborist using a chaga poultice to heal chestnut blight. Not only does it cure the tree, but the tree even becomes resistant to further infections of blight after having been treated. [134]

Part One Of Our Breast Cancer Story

January 2nd, 2010

My wife was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in March 2009. Back then we didn’t know that I was going to receive my own cancer diagnosis only seven months later. But in this mini series of six parts called “Our Breast Cancer”, I intend to talk about how our lives have changed when we learned about my wife’s cancer. It’s important that you understand, that the following text is from my point of view only, not my wife’s .

I received a call from my wife Ann while I was in a hotel room down in North Carolina, attending a business conference. She just had been to her yearly mammography and was called back in for a biopsy. We didn’t think much of it, it happened before. Also, her two sisters and her mom had biopsies done, too and they were always benign.

There was this weird two seconds of silence and then she told me, that I had to be very strong now. Her doctor called her and broke her news about her Breast Cancer diagnosis. I wasn’t prepared for that. If someone had told me that I had cancer, yes, I would have been in surprised and maybe shocked. But learning about my wife and her cancer, that was too much for me. My throat clogged and my stomach began to hurt.

What really killed me in that very moment was the fact that I wasn’t with her to just hold her in my arms. But here I was in this hotel room hundreds of miles away and no chance to get back to her before the next day, if I was lucky enough to catch a plane then. When I received my own cancer diagnosis, I was way more contained and calm. But my wife, no, that was too much for me to take.

Ann told me that she had already informed her brother Gary and he was waiting on the other line, so she had to say good-bye to me for now. As we hung up the phone, I collapsed immediately. Nobody should ever go through something like that.

And something else happened. All the things in life I had worried about, e. g. our mortgage, the bills, the future, everything became instantaneously unimportant. There was only one thing that really mattered, and that was Ann’s health. The rest was irrelevant. Period. I prayed my heart out and begged the Lord for help. He was probably surprised to hear from me after such a long time – but I felt that he heard me and that gave me some comfort.

But I realized that I had a lot of things to do. I went online and checked the flight schedule. And there it was; a flight going out back to Jersey at 10:00pm. This was my chance. I changed my initial reservation and booked me a seat on that plane. A few minutes later the airline called me to tell me that this flight is about to get cancelled due to an imminent storm on the East Coast. However, if I could make it within 40 minutes to the airport, they would get me on an earlier flight. So I had 40 minutes to get my stuff together, check out, get a cab and make it somehow onto that plane.

The hotel kindly offered me to give me a shuttle ride over to the Raleigh-Durham airport. Unfortunately, the driver was new in his job and from Kentucky so he didn’t know the area that well. And of course, he missed the one and only exit off of the highway to the airport. The next U-turn was 15 miles away. I could literally see me plane standing there, but now there was no way to get on to it.

Whether it was coincidence or did God pulled a couple of strings for me, I don’t know. But miraculously, I did still made it. The airline held the plane for me and three other customers. And a few hours later that night, I was back in Jersey and together with my wife.

A few months after his wife Ann got diagnosed with Breast Cancer, the author of this article Tony Ulrich started his website called Our Breast Cancer. You just read Our Breast Cancer Story Part One from his mini essay ‘Ann’s an Tony’s Breast Cancer Story’.

A reality-check on the War on Cancer

December 24th, 2009

The “War on Cancer” initiated by President Nixon turned out to be a huge failure. After all, cancer is still undefeated and even worse; it actually continues to be on the rise with no end in sight.

I am now 37 years old. When I go back in time, maybe just twenty years or so, I barely new anybody who had cancer. And if we go back even another few years, cancer rates were by far not as high as they are today.

The fact of the matter is, every 8th women in the USA will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. But just a few decades back ago we didn’t have such a higher number of incidents.

Nowadays, almost everybody knows someone with cancer. And very likely you will find someone within your own family.

First, my wife got diagnosed with breast cancer in spring of 2009. Then my mother was diagnosed with cervical-cancer over the summer of the same year. But there was more to come: I received my own cancer diagnosis on October 1st, after the doctors found a large mass in my left kidney.

I am about to have surgery during which my kidney will be removed entirely. It’s insane. Cancer is everywhere. It’s not that remote mysterious disease anymore that was likely to spare you.

So there is no way to say it: Cancer is actually growing, even though research and sciences were provided with large amounts of money over the years. And we have to admit, that President Nixon’s ‘War on Cancer’ is far from over. Needless to say, that the situation is the same everywhere in the Western World, it’s not just the USA.

Or do I just imagine all that? Is my wife’s cancer, my mother’s cancer and my own cancer just a coincidence or is there more to the picture. And what about the other ten people I know who also all got diagnosed in 2009.

But that’s just my opinion, and I know that a lot of people disagree with my standpoint. They argue with new data and studies which supposedly show a significant reduction in new breast cancer diagnoses and mortality rates.

You don’t need a Ph. D. in Mathematics to read the numbers that were published in the recent years about cancer rates. The problem is: you can look at numbers in many different ways. It’s the way they are being presented to the public. So sometimes they can be perceived incorrectly.

‘The War on Cancer’ is far away from being over soon, even though some significant improvements were achieved by research, science and modern medicine. Hopefully, it won’t take too long anymore until we have achieved President Nixon’s declared goal, of eradicating cancer entirely.

I was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer and seven months later after my wife Ann was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in March of 2009. I created our Breast Cancer Homepage with the intention to share our Ann’s and Tony’s breast cancer story with you and to provide independent quality information about breast cancer and treatment options.

Pancreatic Cancer! Can Alternative Medicines Really Work Against Pancreatic Cancer?

November 21st, 2009

Pancreatic Cancer! The question we are going to ask is. Do herbal products like Graviola Max and Graviola Really work? The results seem very positive, enough to sayYes!

Are you frightened by the thought of getting Pancreatic Cancer? Do the words “Pancreatic Cancer” worry you? The words are very emotive aren’t they? Well now it appears that there is some very good ‘natural’ help available to you Graviola and Graviola Max!

Traditionally, the large majority of medical practitioners and doctors (though not all), frown on the use of herbal remedies like Graviola and Graviola Max for ‘Pancreatic Cancer’, often describing them as ‘quack’ or ‘fringe’ medicines, simply because they are outside the range of subjects taught in medical school.

There is growing evidence to support the fact that many of these herbal remedies may really be quite beneficial to you. Two of these in particular ‘Graviola’ and Graviola Max are showing some quite remarkable results, often, in cases where traditional treatment and or chemotherapy don’t work. What would you do if you had Pancreatic Cancer?

Way back in 2001 The HSI organisation (Health Sciences Institute) featured an article with the headline “Billion-dollar Drug Company nearly squashes astounding research on natural cancer killer”. It goes on to say. “Cancer conquered with miracle tree from the Amazon found to be 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy”. Can you believe that! 10.000 times stronger and yet some greedy pharmaceutical company tried to squash it because they couldn’t patent a plant that could stop “Pancreatic Cancer”. Shame on them! That tree was Graviola! .OK, so what exactly is Graviola?

Graviola is a tree that is indigenous to the Amazon Rainforests and some other parts of South America. It’s not really a huge rainforest tree, in fact it is a relatively small evergreen “shrub” (in Rainforest terms) growing to only 5 to 6 metres tall. But in terms of having cancer cell fighting properties, it’s an absolute giant!

Much of the research already completed has found that plenty of the annonaceous acetogenins or phytochemicals (chemical compounds that occur naturally in plants) found in the seeds, stem and leaves of Graviola tree are cytotoxic against various cancer cells and tumour cells. In herbal medicine, all these plant parts are used.

Excellent news because, quote:- (Cytotoxic: Toxic to cells, cell-toxic, cell-killing. Any agent or process that kills cells. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are forms of cytotoxic therapy.) The HSI says in this article that the tree has undergone more than 20 laboratory studies and tests since the’70s, where it’s been shown to: Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 different types of cancer, including lung, Prostate, colon, Bowel, and pancreatic cancer. Be 10,000 times stronger in killing Pancreatic Cancercells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug. Without harming healthy cells, it can selectively hunt down and kill cancer cells, unlike chemotherapy.

Also a plant screening program back in’76 by the National Cancer Institute also showed that Graviola showed active cytotoxicity against cancer cells and various researchers have been following up on this research ever since and have found that Graviola was a cancer killing dynamo. Herbal products have been used worldwide almost since the time when man first walked on the earth, (well for thousands of years at least.) If you or your loved ones suffer from this terrible ailment, then I would strongly recommend that you read the HSI article on Graviola and Graviola Max here. It’s a real eye opener!

In addition to the above it has been shown that taking additional herbal products such as “Immune Support” to boost the immune system may be beneficial!

So, could Graviola and Graviola Max help you in the fight against Pancreatic Cancer? It appears that the answer is a resounding yes!

Stomach Cancer! Can it be Beaten Using Traditional Herbal Remedies?

November 20th, 2009

Stomach Cancer! The question we are going to ask is. Do herbal products like Graviola Max and Graviola Really work? The results seem very positive, enough to sayYes!

Many people are worried at the thought of developing Stomach Cancer! Does the phrase “Stomach Cancer” worry you? Powerful words are they not? Graviola and Graviola Max both seem to be very good herbal products, and they are available to youNow!

As a rule, the large majority of medical practitioners and doctors do not support the use of treating ‘Stomach Cancer’ with ‘Herbal Treatments’ like Graviola and Graviola Max. In many cases describing them as ‘quack’ or ‘fringe’ medicines, mainly because they were not taught it at ‘Medical School’!

The fact that many of these herbal remedies may really be quite beneficial to you is now supported by growing evidence. Graviola Max and Graviola are two in particular that are showing promising results in patients with Stomach Cancer, sometimes in case where traditional chemo doesn’t work. Would you use it?

In 2001 The Health Sciences Institute (HSI) featured an article, headlined “Billion-dollar Drug Company nearly squashes astounding research on natural cancer killer”. It says. “Cancer conquered with miracle tree from the Amazon found to be 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy”. Can you believe that! 10.000 times stronger and yet some greedy pharmaceutical company tried to squash it because they couldn’t patent a plant that just might stop Stomach Cancer! Disgusting! That tree was Graviola! . So what exactly is Graviola?

This tree Graviola is indigenous to the Amazon and various regions of South America. It’s not a big rainforest tree by any means, the fact is it’ relatively small in Rainforest terms growing to only 5 or 6 metres tall. But the “Stomach Cancer” fighting properties it has are amazing; in fact it’s an absolute monster.

Plenty of research has already been done and has found that many of the phytochemicals or annonaceous acetogenins (These are the chemical compounds that occur naturally in plants) found in the leaves, seeds and stem of Graviola tree are cytotoxic against various cancer / tumour cells such as Stomach Cancer. All these plant parts are used in natural medicine.

Other Herbal products that could also be used help assist the above are “Immune Support” to boost the immune system. Both have shown to be off great help!

Well can Graviola and Graviola Max help you in your fight against Stomach Cancer? It seems that the answer is possibly, yes it can!

Cervical Cancer! Can Alternative Medicines Really Work Against Cervical Cancer?

November 12th, 2009

Cervical Cancer! Do herbal products like Graviola and N-Tense actually work? That is the issue I am going to look at. But the initial results seem to say an emphatic yes!

Many people are worried at the thought of developing Cervical Cancer! Does the phrase “Cervical Cancer” worry you? Powerful words are they not? Graviola and N-Tense both seem to be very good herbal products, and they are available to youNow!

Usually, the large majority of doctors and medical practitioners although to be fair, not all, do not support the use of natural products like Graviola and N-Tense in treating “Cervical Cancer”.

Can You beat Colon Cancer by using Traditional Herbal Remedies and Alternative Medicine?

November 12th, 2009

Colon Cancer! Do herbal products like Graviola and N-Tense actually work? That is the issue I am going to look at. But the initial results seem to say an emphatic yes!

“Colon Cancer”! The thought of having this frightens many people. Indeed many are frightened by the very words ‘Colon Cancer’ strong words, yes! Available now are two powerful natural herbal products, N-Tense and Graviola, both appear to be showing some fine results.

Traditionally, the large majority of medical practitioners and doctors (though not all), frown on the use of herbal remedies like Graviola and N-Tense for ‘Colon Cancer’, often describing them as ‘quack’ or ‘fringe’ medicines, simply because they are outside the range of subjects taught in medical school.

Evidence is growing however, in support of the fact that many of these botanicals may be really quite beneficial. Two of these herbal remedies in particularly, ‘Graviola’ and ‘N-Tense are showing some quite remarkable results in “Colon Cancer” patients. Often in cases where chemotherapy and traditional treatment didn’t work. Would you use it?

In 2001 The Health Sciences Institute (HSI) featured an article, headlined “Billion-dollar Drug Company nearly squashes astounding research on natural cancer killer”. It says. “Cancer conquered with miracle tree from the Amazon found to be 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy”. Can you believe that! 10.000 times stronger and yet some greedy pharmaceutical company tried to squash it because they couldn’t patent a plant that just might stop Colon Cancer! Disgusting! That tree was Graviola! . So what exactly is Graviola?

This tree Graviola is indigenous to the Amazon and various regions of South America. It’s not a big rainforest tree by any means, the fact is it’ relatively small in Rainforest terms growing to only 5 or 6 metres tall. But the “Colon Cancer” fighting properties it has are amazing; in fact it’s an absolute monster.

Plenty of research has already been done and has found that many of the phytochemicals or annonaceous acetogenins (These are the chemical compounds that occur naturally in plants) found in the leaves, seeds and stem of Graviola tree are cytotoxic against various cancer / tumour cells such as Colon Cancer. All these plant parts are used in natural medicine.

This is the really good news because, quote:- (Cytotoxic: Toxic to cells, cell-toxic, cell-killing. Any agent or process that kills cells. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are forms of cytotoxic therapy.) According to the HSI article the ‘Graviola’ tree has been studied in more than 20 laboratory tests since the’70s, where it’s been shown to: Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 different types of cancer, including colon, Bowel, prostate, lung, and pancreatic cancer. Be 10,000 times stronger in killing colon cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug. Selectively hunt down and kill cancer cells without harming healthy cells, unlike chemotherapy.

Back in’76 a plant screening program by the National Cancer Institute also showed that Graviola displayed active cytotoxicity against cancer cells and various researchers have been following up on this research ever since and have found that Graviola was a cancer killing powerhouse. These Herbal products have been in use worldwide almost since the time when man first walked on the earth. If you or your loved ones suffer from this terrible ailment, then I would strongly recommend that you read the HSI article about N-Tense and Graviola here. It really is staggering!

It has been shown that taking additional herbal products in addition to the above, such as “Immune Support” to boost the immune system could be of help!

N-Tense and Graviola, could they help you in the fight against Colon Cancer? The answer it appears is yes, it can!
