betsy_swerksy--300x300I think this is very important and as a person who took this drug for more than two years I’m very disappointed with FDA’s decision

Long Island mom-of-three Betsy Swerksy says she wouldn’t be here right now if it wasn’t for Avastin — and that the Food and Drug Administration’s recommendation that use of the drug be discontinued could be a death sentence for her.

“It’s lifesaving,” the 51-year-old Merrick homemaker said of Avastin, which was prescribed to her two years ago. “And I want my oncologist to be able to say that if I still need this drug, I should be able to get it.”

First diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2005, Swersky had a recurrence in 2008, at which point her doctor prescribed Avastin. (more…)

is508-007Some of us very far to this future that’s waiting for us but some of us are very close and another group is already experiencing menopause.

Rarely it comes earlier than it’s supposed to but usually women go into menopause after the age of 45. My mom had terrible effects of menopause and I’m having the same things. One of my friends’ mom didn’t have any and she thinks she’s not gonna have any effects.  I first went into it with the medication and when it was not enough I had oophorectomy. I have terrible hot flushes, I’m not counting how many I get throughout the day. It’s been 4.1/2 years, I’m taking a daily pill which is supposed to help and sometimes I wonder if it’s helping I don’t want to know what happens without the pill.

Of course it doesn’t mean that you’ll only get hot flushes, there is more we all need to learn.

Cure the cancer?

Monday, October 5th, 2009

Cancer-ResearchI got a book from library last week; its written about brain surgeon Dr. Keith Black by Arnold Mann and the name of the book is “Brain Surgeon a doctor’s inspiring encounters with mortality and miracles.”

I really liked the book; I’m always amazed by the stories that doctors tell. They meet with a lot of patients and they have the ability to make these patients feel better or make them better.

Although I did not quite understand a part in the book; (more…)

Breast Cancer Awareness

Monday, August 17th, 2009

checking under armCancer; the BIG C… We are all afraid of cancer, because it doesn’t go away after taking a few pill. I know this, because I had it… It took 4 years of my life, just recently finished my treatment and I want you to know what you should do…

Definition of breast cancer: Cancer that forms in tissues of the breast, usually the ducts (tubes that carry milk to the nipple) and lobules (glands that make milk). It occurs in both men and women, although male breast cancer is rare.

Estimated new cases and deaths from breast cancer in the United States in 2009:

New cases: 192,370 (female); 1,910 (male)
Deaths: 40,170 (female); 440 (male)

One in eight women or 12.6% of all women will get breast cancer in her lifetime.

Breast cancer risk increases with age and every woman is at risk.

Every 13 minutes a woman dies of breast cancer.

Seventy-seven percent of women with breast cancer are over 50. (more…)
