Hi lybrate-user,
I appreciate you seeking help for both your mother and elder sister. As regards elder sister's case, it is not possible to comment on the chances of a recurrence given the short description of the issue. Nevertheless, from a dietary standpoint, it is advisable to go for low glycemic foods that is rich in leafy greens and also appropriate seasonal fruits. Simultaneously, being on Tamoxifen, foods like soy, tangerine, grape fruit, genestein supplements etc all are best avoided...more

Mam,
nothing to worry.
This is a common side-effect of tamoxifen. It is usually associated with heavy bleeding. If you do have bleeding please get a d & c done by a gynaecologist.
Please have regular follow-ups for cancer breast. All the best-you will do well.
Regards.

Asked for male, 40 years old from Mumbai

My wife had breast cancer and she went into remission this February 2017. She was diagnosed around mid November 2014. My wife just turned 39 and had ER PR positive tumor which was destroyed using radiotherapy in New York. As such she has been on Tamoxifen since she was diagnosed but then stopped it as she went into remission. We want to have children and were wondering which will be the best kind of doctor and some recommendations too since this is not a very usual case. Thank you in advance,

Planning a family in a breast cancer patient is not advisable for 2 years (counted from last day of treatment). As chances of relapse are higher in initial 2 years. So she can plan her pregnancy according to your gynaec. But she has to stop tamoxifen as it has got teratogenic effect on baby if she conceive.

My sister is 32 year old, she was diagnosed with low grade dcis in Feb 2016. Her lump was on the breast which was removed surgically. She also took 4 chemo and 31 days radiation. She successfully completed her treatment. Then Dr. Prescribed her tamoxifen meds. Her entire treatment ended in august 2016. Now just few days back (20th oct 2016) she got another lump on the same breast, on 8th she had done mammography test which was clear. What is the possibility that 'C' has reoccurred? We are in deep tension, please help Dr. Feeling scared.

Hi,
first of all don't get stressed. chances of recurrent low grade dcis is small. if mammography is normal then get a Mri for better diagnosis. some lumps like fibroadenoma in breast are normal and non cancerous.

Health Query

Hi doctor. My mother is suffering from severe pain in lower back that intensifies and spreads to her ribs during night. She has long medical history. She had been treated for breast cancer in 2013. With surgery followed by chemo, radiation and nonsteriodal medicine of valodex 20 mg. Then again in 2018 she developed metastatic cancer in her lower back near spine. The treatment of which started with radiations followed by hormone therapy which is still going on. Our oncologist had prescribed her letroz 2.5 mg.gabapin 300 mg. Shelcal 500 mg. Apart from it she has taken one cycle of palbociclib. But due to its very high cost and our non-affordability towards it we have to discontinue it. She has been diagnosed with pet ct scan several times but results were always good. With disease still growing in body. So my question to doctor is that. Whether we should perform mri scan for assessment of cause of pain. Or it may be cancer redeveloping. Which could be recognized by biopsy test. Followed by radiation therapy as in the case like in 2018 after which she felt alot relief. From similar pain. Or we should only continue with our hormone therapy including ribociclib. Ie alternative cheaper medicine suggested by our Dr. against palbociclib. And one thing. She is taking zoledronic acid inj every month as prescribed by our doc for protection of bones from osteoporosis and cancer. Which is postponed by every 3 months by doc. On examining the good pet scan reports. So please guide me doc. What treatment strategy should I adopt to get her well.

First of all Iâm so sorry to hear about your mum. As she already had metastatic cancer before and there is a high likely chance of pretty much the same in the Thoracic spine which can give symptoms in the lower back spreads to the ribs.

I looking in the picture now she definitely needs an MRI scan of her spine to rule out further metastasis. Depending on the MRI scan we can decide what will be the best treatment for her.

Most likely to treatment might be like a palliative c...more
