I totally respect your belief in the Holistic approach and as I said before ... there is definitely a place for this along your journey. I also stand by my statement that a biopsy will NOT spread cancer cells. I would ask how else would you expect to receive a diagnosis of the findings? If you want to get down to the fine points then a Mammogram increases your risk of developing BC ... there are things we must accept for our own good. I hope you are aware that cancer cells spread throughout the body without intervention of any kind. You won't have a nrevous breakdown ... we here have all been where you are as have many thousands of women and we're here to tell about it .... Take care and attack the problem one step at a time.
the chiro I go to is in business with his wife who does accupuncture, accupressure, reikki, etc., so I do believe they are rather well informed in re holistic issues. They are not the only sources that told me about the "leaking egg" theory. Just trying to muddle through this. I know Category 5 is the worst. Thanks. I have to go to work and try not to have a nervous breakdown!!
If your findings were rated a 5 then this is something that needs IMMEDIATE attention .... BIOPSY. When your films are deemed to be BIRADS Category 5 there is a strong indication that a malignancy may well be at issue. Biopsies DO NOT spread the cancer cells and are the only method by which to confirm or eliminate the diagnosis of malignancy. The type of biopsy is recommended on the depth, size or particular area to be sampled. Though Holistic Medicine is a wonderful thing for those who believe this way, all methods when approved by the Oncologist (in the case of a cancer diagnoses) can be incorporated into the best medical plan for the situation. I will tell you that unless you have been medically educated to a high degree the more research you do the more confused you will become. Your main source of information should be your prescribing Physician, Radiologist, Surgeon and Oncologist in that order. Although Chiropractic wouldn't be one's first thought for Cancer treatment there could well be some measure of support between the pt. and their Chiropractor during the postoperative treatment process. Our best wishes regarding the results of your upcoming biopsies and keep us posted with results and please return with any other questions or concerns you may have. Regards ....
