Q: Are there any options for financial assistance for breast cancer treatment in India?

There are a number of organizations in India that provide financial assistance for individuals who are unable to afford the cost of breast cancer treatment. These organizations may offer grants, loans, or other forms of financial assistance to help cover the cost of treatment. Some hospitals and clinics may also have financial assistance programs available for patients who are in need.

Q: Can breast cancer treatment be done at a lower cost in India?

In some cases, it may be possible to receive breast cancer treatment at a lower cost in India by seeking treatment at a government-run hospital or clinic, or by opting for a less expensive treatment option. However, it's important to keep in mind that the cost of treatment should not be the only factor to consider when deciding on a treatment plan. It's important to work with a medical team to determine the best course of treatment for your individual situation.

Q: Is breast cancer treatment covered by insurance in India?

Many health insurance policies in India cover the cost of breast cancer treatment, although the specific coverage can vary depending on the policy. It's a good idea to check with your insurance provider to see what is covered and what is not.

Q: What are the various treatment options available for breast cancer in India?

The various treatments given by a breast cancer doctor are: 1. Surgery The type of breast cancer surgery totally depends on the cancer stage and the type of cancer: Lumpectomy: Removal of the tumour along with a small, cancer-free margin of healthy tissue around the tumour. Mastectomy: Surgical removal of the entire breast. A few surgeries are conducted to check if any of the lymph nodes near the breast contain cancer: Sentinel lymph node biopsy: This type of surgery removes 1-3 lymph nodes from under the arm to see if the nodes are free of cancer Axillary lymph node dissection: If cancer is detected in the lymph nodes, this type of surgery is done to remove many lymph nodes from under the arm. This is done to prevent the spread of cancer. Contralateral prophylactic mastectomy: This type of breast cancer surgery involves the removal of both the breast to minimise the risk of developing breast cancer in the future. 2. Radiation Therapy Powerful radiation beams are used to destroy cancer cells. 3. Hormonal Therapy If the cancer is hormone-receptor-positive, i.e., has both estrogen receptors and progesterone receptors, then hormonal therapy is used by a breast cancer doctor to block the production of these hormones. 4. Chemotherapy Use of medications to destroy cancerous cells or shrink their size before surgery.

Q: How often should you perform a breast self-examination (BSE)?

1. If you're still on your period, the optimum time to perform BSE is: When your breasts aren't as painful or swollen. It is usually 5 to 10 days after your cycle starts. 2. If you don't have your period anymore, set a reminder for yourself. Check your breasts on the first of every month. 3. A breast self-exam is also recommended for all males at high risk for breast cancer. Every month, perform a breast self-examination. Other symptoms that indicate you should see a doctor about breast cancer include: Thickening, a lump, or a tight knot Clotting, heat, dryness, as well as spots on the skin Size or shape of breast changes Itchiness, scaly sore or rash on the nipple, dimpling or puckering of the skin Pulling of your nipple or any other body parts Nipple discharge that appears from nowhere

Q: What is the procedure for getting a breast cancer screening?

The different procedures of getting a breast cancer screening are: Clinical breast exam: Here, breasts are physically examined by a doctor who uses his hand to feel lumps or any other changes in the breasts. Mammography: An X-ray of the breasts which is considered the best technique to detect cancer at an early stage. It can even show the lumps or other changes before a patient or doctor can feel them. There are three types of mammography: Film Mammography: The technique results in an X-ray picture of the breast Digital Mammography: The technique results in a computer based picture of the breast Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT): The technique results in pictures of breasts from many different angles to finally make 3-D pictures of the breasts. Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): This technique uses radio waves to take pictures of the breasts. It is mostly used for women who are at high risk for breast cancer; either due to family history of the disease or other underlying conditions. Breast Ultrasound: This is used for pregnant women who cannot be exposed to X-rays used in mammography or who are unable to undergo an MRI examination. This technique is also for those with dense breast tissue (less fat and lots of ducts, glands and tissues), which makes it harder to detect cancers with traditional mammography.

Q: How does a breast cancer doctor detect or diagnose breast cancer in India?

Breast cancer is diagnosed using a variety of tests and procedures, which include the following: Breast exam : Your doctor will examine both of your breasts as well as the lymph nodes in your armpit to see whether everything is normal or if anything is wrong. Mammography - An Xray of the breast is called a mammography. They are frequently used to detect breast cancer. If something abnormal is discovered during a screening mammography, your doctor will recommend additional treatment options. Ultrasound- It is a technique that uses sound waves to create pictures of structures deep within the body. A new breast lump can be diagnosed as a solid mass or a fluid-filled cyst using ultrasound. Taking a sample of breast cells for testing (biopsy)- A biopsy is the only means to confirm a breast cancer diagnosis. During a biopsy, your doctor extracts a core of tissue from the questionable location using a specialized needle instrument guided by an X-ray or another imaging test. A tiny metal marker is frequently left at the spot within your breast so that subsequent imaging tests may easily identify the region. Biopsy samples are submitted to a facility for testing, and specialists evaluate if the cells are malignant. It's also examined to see what kind of cells are involved in the breast cancer, how advanced it is, and whether the cancer cells contain hormone receptors or other receptors that might be harmful. Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): An MRI scanner that creates images of the inside of your breast using a strong magnetic fields and radio waves . A dye injection is given before to a breast MRI. An MRI does not employ radiation to produce pictures, unlike other forms of imaging procedures.

Q: How long does it take to recover from breast cancer treatment ?

Various factors determine the recovery time of breast cancer. The treatment depends on the early stage or advanced stage of breast cancer. Your doctor will only be able to tell you an assessment based on how far your cancer has gone through the breast tissue and its stage. However, the process through it goes as follows: Surgical - It will take a few days or a week to recover from a less complicated surgery. But if the individual had a major operation, it would take around a few weeks based on your operation. Medical - Medical treatments include drugs and pills or medicines given in your veins, such as chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and targeted therapy. After surgery, the doctor will recommend you the treatment based on your stage and condition. The recovery time after this procedure varies for every patient. Yet it takes three months at least to get recovered from one session. Radiation - Depending on the patient's condition doctor may recommend radiation therapy. Skin reactions from radiation therapy are dominant for 1-2 weeks after your therapy. To recover it would take a few weeks to 2 months, depending patient's condition.

Meme ağrısına, şişmeye ve iltihaplanmaya neden olan bir durum olan mastitiniz olabilir. Bu sert kist benzeri şişlik bir apse, yani bir enfeksiyon cebi olabilir. Mastitis, süt kanalları tıkandığında, bakteriler bölgeye bulaştığında veya kan birikmesi meydana geldiğinde meydana gelir.

It is a fact that breasts can differ slightly in size, which is normal. However, in case of a case when one side of the breast is too big, painful, or swollen, you must be concerned. This may be a result of hormonal changes, cysts, or an infection. It is highly recommended that you visit an oncologist to get it checked and find out the right treatment.

FNAC report- Site- Left breast lump Aspirate- Milky fluid Microscopical examination- Smears are hypocellular showing few aggregates of epithelial cells with vacuolated cytoplasm in a lipid rich foamy background. Bare isolated nuclei are also present in the background along with foamy macrophages. The nuclei of the cells have uniform chromatin, regular nuclear margins with abundant cytoplasm. Impression- Galactocele of left breast Note- Kindly correlate clinically

Female | 27

It looks like the problem is the galactocele located in your left breast. This is a lump that occurs naturally when the breast milk forms a lump. It can be after childbirth or while nursing and is not harmful. The symptoms are a painless lump and milky fluid when squeezed. Usually, treatment isn't needed, but if big, it can be removed. Keep an eye on it and let an oncologist know.

(ACR type II) No obvious focal spiculated mass lesion, retraction of tissues or cluster of microcalcifications is seen in either breast to suggest the presence of malignancy. No axillary lymph nodes are noted. Sonomamography screening: Both breast consist of mixed fibroglandular and fatty tissue. No SOL is noted. No duct ecatia is noted. IMPRESSION: No significant abnormality in both breasts. (BIRADS 1). Suggest-Follow up after 1 year for routine check up. Is there any case of worry

Female | 52

According to the tests, there’s no evidence of any major problem such as cancer in either breast, which is fantastic news. The tiny calcification found in the left breast could have resulted from an old infection or inflammation. Currently, there’s no cause for alarm but it’s essential to have another checkup next year to be safe. In case you observe any unusual changes in your breasts before then, please let your doctor know.

I want to know about Triple-negative breast cancer as our doctor hinted that my aunt has signs of this specific type of breast cancer.

Female | 57

The term triple-negative breast cancer means that the cancer cells do not have estrogen or progesterone receptors and does not make too much of the protein called HER2. ( therefore the cells test "negative" on all 3 tests.)

Triple-negative breast cancer has less treatment options available than other types of invasive breast cancer. The reason being the cancer cells do not have enough estrogen or progesterone receptors or HER2 protein for hormone therapy or targeted drugs to work.

Treatment options are chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery mainly. But consulting clinician on time and starting the treatment is important. Regular follow up with doctor with lifestyle modifications and counselling will help. Consult an oncologist.

Hope our answer helps you.

Female | 18

You may be undergoing symptoms associated with your breast health. The hardness of the right breast that you are feeling could be a lump, which might be produced by hormonal changes or the process of inflammation. The pain in both breasts may be caused by either hormonal fluctuations or wearing an improperly fitted bra. The red spots or rashes could be a result of a skin reaction. Regarding these issues, you should ensure you are wearing a bra that fits you properly and then seek consultation with an oncologist for further evaluation and guidance.

Female | 18

You are nervous because of a swelling in the right breast. It is encouraging that you are so keen on your body. Not all breast lumps mean cancer. Some lumps might be hormone-related or cysts. Cancer may cause the growth of rather stiff and painless lumps. If your lump has been there for a long time and doesn't hurt, you should let an oncologist check it.
