Subject: the patient is S/P lumpectomy / ____ biopsy for breast cancer.

This doc keeps saying what sounds like:


lumpectomy / "center node" biopsy or "sentinel" biopsy?


He is a mush-mouth.  Any help appreciated!!!

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!

sestamibi scan (SES-tuh-MIH-bee... )

An imaging test used to find overactive parathyroid glands (four pea-sized glands found on the thyroid) and breast cancer cells, and to diagnose heart disease. The patient receives an injection of a small amount of a radioactive substance called technetium which is bound to another substance called sestamibi. This substance collects in overactive glands, cancer cells, heart muscle, or other tissues and a picture is taken by a gamma camera (a special camera that detects radioactivity).

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. The first was an invasive carcinoma, moderately differentiated, measuring 1.5 centimeters in maximum dimension associated with DCIS which was also of intermediate nuclear grade.


I have looked under types of tumor, and googled it under different terms and cannot come up with anything.  I'm probably not even close!


Thanks for your help!
