According to reports published in Medical News Today, Survival rates for breast cancer are higher with early diagnosis and treatment. A combination of treatments can effectively treat the condition, and it is possible for the condition to go into complete remission. But a doctor can rarely be sure a person’s cancer will never return. Instead, they may say the disease is in remission.
Is breast cancer curable
Just like the way Tahira Kashyap’s cancer has relapsed, breast cancer is curable in different stages depending on the type of breast cancer, the stage of breast cancer, the tumor grade, whether the breast cancer is estrogen-, progesterone-, or ER2 protein-positive or –negative, the type of treatment a person can access.
What Tahira Kashyap said about her cancer relapsing
Tahira Kashyap in her post said, “When life becomes too generous and throws them again at you, you squeeze them calmly into your favourite kala khatta drink and sip it with all the good intentions. Because for one it’s a better drink and two you know you will give it your best once again.”
What is recurrent breast cancer?
According to a report published in Cleveland Clinic website, “Breast cancer recurrence is when you have breast cancer that comes back (recurs) after treatment. Breast cancer can come back months or years after you’ve finished treatment. Healthcare providers can treat recurrent breast cancer, but it can come back again.”
Treatment for breast cancer
According to Mayo Clinic report, “Breast cancer treatment often starts with surgery to remove the cancer. Most people with breast cancer will have other treatments after surgery, such as radiation, chemotherapy and hormone therapy. Some people may have chemotherapy or hormone therapy before surgery. These medicines can help shrink the cancer and make it easier to remove. Your treatment plan will depend on your particular breast cancer.”
