Guest guest Report post Posted August 6, 2009 , Most cancers don't start off tender or painful, though some do. I would not be enthusiastic about doing a mammogram. If you have a diagnosed breast cancer and you ask your oncologist if it is ok for your massage therapist to massage that breast, he/she would think you are nuts. Yet at the same time they don't hesitate to put your breast in a vice. I would do an ultrasound (elastogram if available), a " closed " MRI (double the pixel density), a thermogram (either/both the IR photo type or the CRT type) and then I would ask for a blood tumor marker test (CA 15-3 or CA 27-29) over the oncologist's objections. I would continue full speed on the iodine. Do you know if it is catamenial, that is, that there are changes with your periods? It is better to find ways to avoid the mammogram and a biopsy. Do you know how long you've had the lump? Have there been changes since you first noticed it? Are there any other evidences that it is cancer, e.g., orange peel or thickened skin, dimpling, retraction of your nipple? Do you know your sister's BRCA status? You might reflect a little more on the use of soy. It is not always the best choice for breast cancer. I haven't used a magnetic pulser and don't know anyone who has, so I have no comments about it. There are many methods of destroying a tumor other than surgery. I have seen it done in Mexico with the intratumoral injection of laetrile. Doug Brodie (RIP) in Reno would do direct injections of methotrexate. There is also cryoablation, PDT, radiofrequency ablation, and microwave ablation. I would be cautious with direct application of electricity. The groundwork was done by G. Betton Massey about a hundred years ago. Details of his diagnostic and treatments methods can be found in the Medical Record from November 10, 1917, " A New Test for Incipient Cancer of the Breast, " but I prefer his book with photographs: " Ionic Surgery in the Treatment of Cancer. " He could remove cancers with 100% efficiency. Inadequate electrical ablation can actually encourage the growth of a cancerous lesion. I have seen a large breast tumor completely resolve with use of a high-amperage electrical device that was applied transdermally. We teach these methods (and many others) and sometimes arrange them through our program in Del Mar, CA. At 10:13 AM 8/6/2009, you wrote: > >Hi , >Thank you for your response.

Guest guest Report post Posted March 21, 2010 I am doing pretty well with the spinal cord stimulator, but have awful muscle spasms. They tell me it will take time for those to subside .

Guest guest Report post Posted March 22, 2010 I love horses as well, I finially got one after wanting one all my life and never really got to ride him as within a month of getting him sequestered L1/L2 and had surgery on it, was supposed to be as good as new after that and now have 4 herniated disks and a whole pile of problems from them. this fall we decided to find a home for him as I can never ride again and have trouble working. I was so upset about that as really never got the chance to ride and enjoy him. Sometimes I really resent what has happened to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
