whiteman Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) 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. Edited December 14, 2021 by whiteman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauptmannUK Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaiclan Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
