lumpectomy

I'm thrilled to share with you the highlights of my recent Uncensored Advice for Men episode where I had the pleasure of interviewing Fitz Koehler, a fitness expert, author, and cancer survivor. Her story is one of resilience, positivity, and an unyielding spirit that I believe will inspire you.

1. Fitz's Journey with Cancer: Fitz opened up about her battle with breast cancer, sharing the whirlwind of treatments and appointments that followed her diagnosis. She emphasized the loneliness that comes with the journey, but also the importance of having supportive loved ones by your side.
2. Supporting Loved Ones with Cancer: Fitz highlighted the significance of being proactive in our support for those battling cancer. She encouraged listeners to offer help, even if it's not explicitly asked for, and to be a beacon of positivity.
3. Facing Fear: Fitz shared her perspective on fear, encouraging us not to let it hold us back from living our lives to the fullest. She shared a personal story about overcoming her fear, which led to her mantra: go for anything that doesn't cause physical harm.
4. Public Speaking and Connecting with People: Fitz shared her experience as a public speaker and how she prepares for her keynotes. She emphasized the importance of storytelling and preparation, and how connecting with people energizes her the most.
5. Living Better and Longer: In her podcast, The Fitness Show, Fitz discusses various topics with the main theme being living better and longer. She encourages listeners to prioritize their health and make positive changes in their lifestyle.
6. Being Unstoppable: Fitz believes that by pairing a healthy body with a healthy mind, we can become unstoppable and achieve everything we want in life. She suggests aiming to be 1% better each day and starting small.

I'm sure you'll find Fitz's story as inspiring as I did!

In this episode I interview Mr Lester Barr about breast cancer.  In this fascinating interview we discuss symptoms, investigations, treatment options and strategies for prevention of breast cancer.

Comprehensive, relevant and insightful conversations about health and medicine happen here… on MedStar Health Doc Talk.

By the time we reach our 50’s it seems most of us know someone who has been treated for breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, one in eight women will get a breast cancer diagnosis in their lifetime- 

 Nearly 275,000 women AND men are newly diagnosed with breast cancer each year. 

But what happens after they hear those dreaded words:  ‘You have breast cancer.’-?

 We’re talking today with breast surgeon Dr. Maen Farha, medical director of the Breast Center at MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital to learn about the breast cancer journey. 

For more episodes of MedStar Health DocTalk, go to medstarhealth.org/doctalk.

You know those moments, when you think it can’t get any worse, but then it does?  Well, that’s Shana’s story.  It’s a story that is a huge reminder that NONE of our cancer journeys, like our cancer, are the same.  And if you didn’t believe it before, Shana will definitely make you a believer now.  But who would have thought that having breast cancer would be the LEAST of your worries…

Before Allyson found her cancer, she was actually getting regular mammograms for four years.  However her cancer was found because she felt a pain in her breast, right where her underwire bra fit, and knew that it wasn’t right.  Her doctor swore it was nothing, most likely due to the fact that she was getting those regular mammograms.  But she was diagnosed with DCIS.   She was that RARE form of DCIS.  While DCIS is now found far more frequently because of mammograms, hers wasn’t found by mammogram, but found by that pain.  Correction – it was found by her listening to her body, and trusting her instincts.

Growing up with a mom that is an identical twin, well, it’s never dull.  Even though they have lived apart by thousands of miles, my entire life, there are still times, even now in their 70’s, in which they still do their ‘twin’ thing.  And know that I’ve started documenting these moments as they occur with my own identical twins.  Can you say genetic?  Well, not our cancer.  Listen to my Aunt Kathleen, share her story.

This episode analyzes the surgical pathology and confirmation that a double mastectomy was the right decision.  Since no lymph nodes were involved,  an OncotypeDX test is proscribed so no decision on chemotherapy options are known.  Stress levels are at an all time high and ways to cope are explored.

This podcast explains the difference between DCIS and LCIS/Estrogen and Progesterone Receptors/and HER2 status and treatment decisions.  Understanding differentiation and how this corresponds to the aggressiveness of the cancer.  Why DCIS and LCIS are considered stage zero cancer and why excision of these tumors is important.

The journey from biopsy to surgery is an extremely stressful and uncertain time.  Deciding between lumpectomy and mastectomy will depend on the clinical pathology resulting from your biopsy, and more information and further tests may be needed before reaching a final decision.  Organizing your surgery team if mastectomy is needed will require coordination between a breast surgeon and plastic surgeon.  Preparing for a mastectomy is not only psychologically challenging, but preparing for the physical challenges will help with the recovery phase following surgery.  Helpful suggestions of items that can help with comfort during recovery is discussed.

When you have no symptoms of cancer and a routine mammogram changes your life in a matter of minutes, there’s not much to do but dive right in.  Catherine was forced to deal with the unexpected in a matter of minutes, and found support in women who came before her.

Mary is a Broadway actor & dancer, as well as a director, choreographer and teacher.  Needless to say that she knows her body.  So when her doctor continued to dismiss her when she had discovered some not so normal symptoms in her breast, she knew it wasn’t normal and didn’t settle for ‘your scans look fine.’  And because she didn’t settle, she caught her cancer before it spread and became much worse than it was.
