Why are tumors still growing after masectomy?!


Question: My aunt had a masectomy (breast removed) but she again saw 2 tumors below her armpit this year (stage II breast cancer). She's undergoing radiation and taking anti-cancer medicines. She said that one of the lumps on her right armpit has gone smaller. Is that a good thing? And why do they grow back? When will they stop growing?

Unfortunately breast cancer can recur at any time, even years after initial diagnosis and treatment - there is no 'all clear' for breast cancer.

Although they can happen at any time, recurrences are most likely in the two years following treatment, and statistically they are less likely to happen after 5 years. Although I know I won't be out of the woods, I shall celebrate just a bit when I reach five years since treatment later this year.

Yes, the tumour shrinking is a good thing.

Cancer takes form of a pro-virus so it can't be detected really until it begins to form. The best thing to do is to catch it as soon as possible. The radiation is mainly to try and stop it from spreading and then have them removed if they are small enough. If not the radiation will help shrink it so that they can remove it.

Can they grow back, yes, but truthfully, it can grow back anywhere. I've seen cases where somebody had a cancerous breast tumor, it was removed but then next tumor that formed was in the foot, never checked and they actually died from that one.

A good thing for her to take on an natural side is Super Blue-Green Algae and Graviola. Graviola is known to be extremely anti-tumrous, anti-viral and anti-cancer and the algae can greatly deplete her cancer cells in the body.

My mom had liver cancer with 2 golf size ball tumors. It spread to her ovalries. I had her take these herbs during the whole time and she has been cancer clear for 6 years now.

Good Luck.
