The latest study I can find on Medline has this set of statistics:
For women who had a mastectomy, post treatment of A provided recurrence of cancer results of B:
Treatment: Rate of Recurrence:
No Systemic treatment_____________________12.6%
Chemotherapy Alone________________________5.6%
Tamoxifen Alone___________________________4.6%
Chemo & Tamoxifen_________________________5.3%
I'm starting the Tamoxifen tonight.
About Me
- Alia
- I have the invisible disabilities of Major Depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I also have visible disabilities: severe osteoarthritis in my knees, muscle spasms degenerative disc disease, and peripheral neuropathy. The doc says the PN is mechanical. I have diabetes and PCOS. In April 2007, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I use a power wheelchair for anything outside the house. Sometimes I use a cane. This blog is for my crochet adventures, my gimp adventures, and surviving medical intervention. If you are not disabled, but know someone who is, and don't understand why they are limited in what they can do, I highly recommend that you go to http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com/ and click on "The Spoon Theory." I am Wiccan and Witch, head of a Wiccan church here in Denver. My wand is a Size S (3/4" diameter) crochet hook. I have a tendency to speak my Truth. This has made me enemies as well as friends. The anger and dislike of my "enemies" does not impact me; I care not what they think. What matters to me is what I think, my family thinks, and what my friends and those I respect think.
