This nine and a half minute video, produced by the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), gives a general overview of radiation therapy as used for breast cancer and walks a patient visually through the simulation and treatment process with explanations of everything involved. Patients are given the opportunity to see what the equipment looks like and to be introduced to the members of the health care team treating them.

Being healthy their whole lives, Sock and her husband purchased plans with low premiums and minimal coverage. That ended up being a costly mistake. Watch this video to see a breakdown of the expenses and to hear advice on how to navigate a breast cancer diagnosis.

During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, most of the breast cancer conversation centers around early detection and survivorship. As inspiring and important as that effort is, there’s strikingly little knowledge among the public about metastatic breast cancer. Up to a quarter of a million people are living with this diagnosis today in the U.S., but in a recent survey, more than 60 percent of people said they know little to nothing about it.

On The Doctors, Pfizer’s Chief Medical Officer, Freda Lewis-Hall, M.D., and Noreen Fraser, metastatic breast cancer patient and founder of the Noreen Fraser Foundation, share the facts and dispel misconceptions about the disease. Visit http://www.gethealthystayhealthy.com to learn more.

Breast Cancer – What You May Not Know But Should

HER2-positive breast cancer represents 15-20 percent of all new cases of breast cancer. Eric P. Winer, MD, director of Breast Oncology at the Susan F. Smith Center for Women's Cancers, describes HER2-positive breast cancer symptoms and treatment options. To find out more visit http://www.dana-farber.org/Adu....lt-Care/Treatment-an


Transcription:


HER2-positive breast cancer represents about 15% to 20% of all new cases of breast cancer. In women who have HER2-positive breast cancer—and the occasional man, of course, who may have this—there are too many copies of the HER2 gene in the nucleus of the cancer cell, and that gives rise to too much HER2 protein on the surface of the cancer cell. As a result of HER2, the cancer cell is able to grow and spread and invade more readily. HER2 is something that is very important for the cancer, because it helps it survive and flourish, which is of course good for the cancer and bad for the patient.

This used to be one of the worst subtypes of breast cancer—and it probably does tend to affect younger women a little bit more than older women, although we see it for across all ages—but what has changed is that over the past 15 years, we have developed so-called ‘targeted treatments’ for HER2-positive breast cancer. The first of those treatments is the drug Trastuzumab, which a lot of people call ‘Herceptin,’ but there are three additional targeted treatments that are now approved for HER2-positive breast cancer, which include the drug called Pertuzumab and a drug called T-DM1 and a drug called Lapatinib—all of these are very drugs for HER2-positive breast cancer. Sometimes they’re used alone. Most of the time they’re used in combination with other treatments—specifically chemotherapy or other forms of anti-HER2 treatment—and they can be very, very effective.

What has changed is that as a result of these treatments, there are more women with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer who are cured of their cancer, and even in women who have more advanced forms of cancer, who have stage 4 or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. These drugs have prolonged life and as importantly have dramatically affected quality of life.

This class is part 4 of 5 in our Lymphoedema Awareness information and class. We suggest you watch parts 1- 3 before joining this class. Part 3 takes you through the movements slowly in preparation for this class. This exercise class is designed to reduce your risk of developing lymphoedema.

This lymphoedema awareness exercise class video is provided for general information only and should not be treated as a substitute for professional supervision or advice. If you have any concerns, please speak to a healthcare professional.

You should not attempt these exercises in the first six weeks post breast cancer surgery. This video may not be suitable if you have problems with your scar healing, worsening pain, or a seroma; in these cases, please speak to your medical team, breast cancer nurse, or physiotherapist before your start. Some pulling or stretching during exercises is normal, but only go as far as you comfortably can and use the described modifications to avoid getting any pain.
