I'm typing a report that says the patient has infiltrating ductal carcinoma, ER positive, PR positive and something that sounds phonetically like "hir-tu-nu" positive.  Anybody know what she's talking about?  Later she says "node positive" so I suspect it has something to do with lymph nodes.  Thanks in advance!

Best therapy for breast cancer
Subject: Best therapy for breast cancer

Selenium + vitamin E can prevent & cure both breast cancer & prostate cancer!  (Brazil nuts are the best source of selenium, & sunflower seeds are an awesome source of natural vitamin E!)


And YES, of course the drug companies know about it, but broadcasting this information to the public would stop the flow of nearly $$ 1/2 million per cancer patient!  Not to mention all the multiplied millions in donations to the ACS for the so-called "Race for a Cure," which is a lying farce.  All that money guarantees that they will never want to be put out of business.

The lady who is doing well after her left partial mastectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy. All three sentinel lymph nodes were negative for malignancy. In the partial mastectomy, __scarsman__ II tumors were identified.
