First is breast x ray then they take a sample then they will tell you what sort and prognosis and then what treatment is required.

 

Good luck to you both. that's if you take her to a good hospital.

Need more info, how old is this friend?  Is she Thai and in the 30 baht medical care system?  Is the OP in Pattaya or out of country and all this info is via broken English Line chat?

Thai government hospitals CAN be very efficient. My sister in law had examination, biopsy and operation within around three weeks. This was Udon govt hospital. Ward was very crowded but treatment was fine. I was surprised and impressed.

I can recommend Bumrungrad Horizon Centre as a fantastic oncology unit. Dr Apichart is one of the oncologists there (radiation) and an absolute rockstar.

 

Also look into the metabolic pathways of the tumour (how the tumour feeds). Usually (but not always) breast cancer is fed by hormones. It is important to start hormone blockers to prevent the tumour growing (or re-growing after surgery). I think the drug is called Tamoxifen and breast cancer survivors take it for a few years.

 

There is an excellent book by a British cancer survivor, it is called How To Starve Cancer by Jane McLelland.

Documentaries - Cancer can be killed (available on Vimeo) and Radical Remissions (Hay House) are very informative and inspiring.

 

Wishing your lively Mum friend all the support and blessings at this time. Good Luck!
