Locked. No further comments permitted.Breast Lump
Feb 22 2017 11:44PM more by babii-finesse
Tags: Las Vegas, Random (All tags)

Found out I have a lump on my left breast that may be breast cancer. My doctor checked it and was pretty sure its cancerous.

Have an appointment on Monday at 10:45 for a biopsy. But my dumb ass didn't get insurance and have to pay $1500. Hopefully I come up with the money by then.

Just wanted to inform all ladies to make sure you check for lumps and it doesn't matter what age you are it could still happen.

Please stay aware!

xoxo
Torri

Maybe you can file for emergency medical?

I heard of some places that offer free breast scans and stuff. I Dont remember the names but I'm sure its online somewhere. They always advertise them during the breast awareness month.

Good luck and sorry you have to go through this

Contact your local American Cancer Society office. They can lead you to local breast cancer center(s) where you might get info. on doctors, procedures, payments, financial assistance, etc. They have run into these situations before and are there to help. Avoid charitable organizations that you've never heard of before.

Cancer at an early age can be related to family history. There are genetic markers which they can test for now-a-days to see if you are more susceptible than others. I know money may be an issue, but try not to just "get by" with the cheapest treatment. And get the best (most experienced) help you can afford. And when you get the next opportunity, get insurance (Obamacare if you can maybe?).

Take things step by step. Try not to let yourself get overwhelmed by everything. And try to talk to other ladies who have gone through this before. I'm sure Amer. Cancer Society has support groups.

Wish you the best. We'll be here if you just want to vent. (Then again, maybe you don't really want to vent to some of the people on here. j/k)

I don't recommend going to a medical doctor unless you want to burn all your cells (Chemo) or get body parts cut off (surgery). Instead go to a Naturopathic Doctor for natural remedies and also to learn where it came from, and how to get rid of it. Medical doctors don't study nutrition in school, they only study drugs and surgery, which in pretty much in all cases make you worst and worst until you die. I have lost 10 of my family members under the "care" of medical doctors.

Most illnesses are nutritional deficiencies, which your body lacks the amount of vitamin and minerals it needs, and cause the body to go into defense mode, (what medical doctors call diseases). Likewise when you give your body what it needs (vitamins & minerals) the illnesses go away.

Torri one and eight lady gets breast cancer. 1 in 7 guys gets prostate cancer.

When detected early it is not too much of a problem. If the cancer has stayed in the breast only there's a 99% survival rate.

Nothing but the best for you young lady.

Unfortunately cancer is extremely dangerous.

Do not worry, you can easily beat this. Western medicine alone may cure you. But in addition to that, consider the following:

Your own immune system is the best doctor by far. To support and strengthen it, we must breathe fresh air, drink clean water, eat pure and healthy foods, get plenty of sunshine, and exercise. Remove yourself from any environment that is not conducive to this. Furthermore, cancer (i.e., the underlying fungus, parasite, virus, mycoplasma causing the cell replication) cannot survive high heat or high acidity. Therefore, sauna's and topical hot stones are also recommended.

The following supplements are recommended:
GraviolaMax, Beta Glucan (immunity boost), AHCC, Agraricus Blazei, Gerson diet, Oxygen therapy, Thymex, Neem, Curcumin, Selenium, DMSO (topical), Cat's Claw, Myco, Astragulus, DIM, NAC, Iodine.

I would also look into localized topical applications / creams as stated above. The difficult part is finding what supplement/topical cream/ingredient will work for you (i.e., work to kill this particular underlying invader), so some experimenting is required. Furthermore, to get the topical underneath the skin to where the cancer is, mix it with DMSO.

Lastly, if your stated age is somewhat correct, you are now going through your "Saturn returns" phase, which we all have to go through around age 30. Essentially it means in some regards our life starts anew from ago 1 (once we come out of the cycle). So keep this in mind. This will be your rebirth, and your way of living may change drastically after the end of this cycle (2-3 years).

I like that GoFundMe idea, but I'd seriously look into the emergency coverage too.

Best of luck with it Torii. Positive attitude plays a huge role. If you're at all uncomfortable with the subject and your doctor(s), I recommend bringing along a trusted friend or family member to participate in the appointments. Together you'll have much better retention of the unfamiliar (to you) material that is being presented while you're distressed.

I really hope it's not cancerous. I didn't read all of the comments, but I did see on the news a few weeks back that quite a few woman have gotten cut and done chemotherapy from false possitive during exam. Maybe second opinion before you go in for biopsy.

I'm really sorry, possitive thoughts with you
