It says in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine "I believe that if screening had been a drug, it would have been withdrawn from the market long ago." And this from the Guardian: "The researchers found that more than half the cancers identified by screening would never otherwise have been found or caused problems. These women had breast surgery and anxiety that they didn’t need." Barbie, I love all you do! Thank you so much! Your videos are my primary education and have ooptimized my menopause management.
It is scary and disheartening to think that so many women have suffered unnecessary treatments and surgeries due to fear and ignorance. Why can't medical professionals treat irregularities of the breast the same way they do other parts of the body? 😡
Because fear sells. And fear over breast cancer makes billions of dollars. I'll address this in this breast cancer unit. It's 55 videos. Just be sure to watch them all in order.
Shocked that this video presented itself to me today of all days. I did not seek it out. I went to an oncologist today for this exact same reason….so happy to have been properly educated and know more of what my options are. Thank you for this.
You will learn so much in this Breast Cancer unit. It consists of 55 videos. Just be sure to watch them all in order. And don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online. My goal is for you to understand everything, know all your options, and advocate for yourself.
Yes Dr. Barbie it definitely angers me to know that women are unnecessarily terrified out of their minds put through crazy treatments when they really don't have cancer. Thank you for explaining the truth about this. It's important to be informed and proud for whatever might occur. I have no reason to fear thanks to the understanding and knowledge from this amazing education.
WOW! Not only were my socks blown off, but a layer of fear that has been there also blown off. I took notes to keep this info in my back pocket at all times. Thanks, once again, for more invaluable information and I'm looking forward to the rest of this unit! Stephanie
2 years ago I had DCIS very small stage 0 and was recommended to get off my hormones, lumpectomy and radiation. I refused hormone blockers. Now I am having a really hard time finding a dr to resume my bio identical hormones after 2 years! Awful and I’m in California!
This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one. I cannot tailor things specifically to you in a comment box.

I look forward to meeting you and helping you.
Had DCIS 10 years ago. Had a nastectomy but ni radiation. Obviously they told me to stop HRT immediately 😢 which meant all my hot flashes and other symptoms all came back with a vengeance. Now I have a very understanding gyno who put me back on it in spite of the DCIS.. I am 67. I hope women in the future won't have to go through aggressive treatments unnecessarily.
The important thing is to know precisely what your current HRT CAN do and CANNOT do. That's what I can do with you in a consultation. There is no other way. And if your current HRT is not capable of achieving your goals (both short-term and long-term), wouldn't you want to know that now?
Hi😊I'm so glad I read your comment, I as well was diagnosed with DCIS when I was 39. I ended up doing a full mastectomy with reconstruction. I wish I would have found Barbara back then. I'm currently 47 & looking into HRT. I was curious if I would still be able to since my diagnosis was estrogen related. I've found a homeopathic Dr near me that I want to visit but know I'll probably have to pay out of pocket, which makes me sad but I'm on a journey & don't want that stopping me.

Good day Dr Barbie!!! It' shocking how breast cancer fear puts intense fear in women's lives when it shouldn't. My twins have an October appointment to get squishy squished. I found a new family doc who is young, fresh outta residency last fall. He's sending me for my second boob squishy squishy and checked off ABUS test as well. He's definitely thorough! Kinda cute too, aaah inner cougar coming out. True, it's a long 45 minute commute by bus to the opposite end of the city, but I wanted a young, not-yet-jaded doctor. Hopefully more women will benefit from your very detailed, deeper than the ocean dive to teach us about breast cancer so we don't live in fear
Exactly! And be sure to watch all my videos in order with your twins NOW, long before they become menopausal. It will be the best gift you could ever give them. (45 minutes a week is all it takes.)
My surgeon explained that LCIS can be caused by once active cancer cells that may or may not still be present. I had an excisional biopsy where a few tiny invasive cancer cells were found, nothing found in the two biopsied lymph nodes. Radiation and hormone blocking drugs have been prescribed, no chemo. She also said that LCIS tends to double the risk of future invasive breast cancer over DCIS and, if found in one breast, it’s more likely to be found at some point in the other breast. I do feel I’m in good hands with the excellent doctors in the DC metro area, but am a little conflicted about the radiation. Than you for your superb educational videos!

Just got done praying and refusing to say the C word! Then found you ! ❤ You are are awesome! Encouraging, inspiring and the instruction and education is very easy to follow. I did share this video. I'll be back . 🙏🏾
Kerri, Welcome aboard to "Menopause Taylor University." You'll find that if you start at the very first video (going by the number after each title), you'll understand absolutely everything. You'll be shocked at what you didn't know, and delighted that now you do know. Each video builds on the last. It's just like school: You had to learn the alphabet before you could read. And nowadays, there are so many overwhelming misconceptions that women mistake as facts ... that you just don't know what you don't know. I respond to all comments here on RUclips daily. So, I will answer all your questions ... but I'll also know if you aren't watching the videos in order. (I'm like your mother. I have eyes in the back of my head!) And if you need me to help you tailor anything to your personal situation, you can schedule a one-on-one consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME any time. I do them all online.
My dream is for all women to get this menopause education in their 20s! Can you imagine how different your life would have been if you'd had this education all this time?
These videos are great. I've just had my first mammogram and awaiting my results. There's a few people in my life with and that have had breast cancer that could have benefited from this information.
I live in Florida. I like to swim in the sea with my kiddo and water temperature in the sea and in the pool are 86. Air is 94. It's hot! I spent 2 hours outside with my kiddo. I started my therapy with pills, my latest pill dosage was 1mg. It didn't work for me (still low energy and feeling warm). Looks like the pills don't work on me. So in the April I asked my Gyn to change to patches, she converted it wrong and I was using 0.1 dosage instead of 0.05. In the May it got very hot in Florida. After 1 month of using it I started to have terrible migraines for several days and spotting every 3 weeks and I had tender breast. I stopped to use the patches. After couple of days when all my terrible headaches disappeared and I started to feel so good I started to cut my patches to half, but I still felt it's too much for me. I started to cut the patches to 3 pieces. I still can't get the right dosage. My well being so unpredictable. At least for now I don't have the spotting every 3 weeks, normal breast and no migraines. I saw the info that in the high temperature the patches release too much estrogen (more then it supposed to release). Do you have any info with the issue using the patches in high temperatures? Looks like my Gyn doesn't swim in the sea or a pool so she doesn't have a idea on this topic.

I was diagnosed with in situ ductal and lobular carcinoma and after bilateral mastectomy there was a finding of spread to 2 sentinel lymph nodes contained metastatic carcinoma. How is this possible if in situ does not spread and is local only? What you shared makes sense but I don’t understand why it spread to sentinel lymph nodes.
Hi Dr tailor, I had a consultation with you , 3 weeks back. I am 47 was advised to take birth control, took oral pills, 35 mg estrogen it made me nauseous and sleepy just couldn’t carry on. Is patch a better option, I will book follow up in 6 weeks but can’t be without hormones till then, Fatima
Fatima, I will never address consultation issues in a comment box. It just scatterers all your information such that you get bits and pieces rather than a coherent understanding. We will address whatever you include in the questionnaire during your next consultation, whenever that is.
Thank you so much. My mother was diagnosed with CIS many years ago and ive been confused by whether she actually "had cancer" or not. I felt "not". My Q, then, is what does that mean with regard to MY genetic breast cancer risk when filling out medical forms?

Fantastic material and I love your energy!! I was diagnosed with suspicious microcalcifications in one breast and was immediately recommended biopsy. An oncologist's office called me the next day to discuss lumpectomy, radiation, and chemo. I refused the biopsy; this was 5 years ago and nothing has changed. My gut feeling is that I am OK even if I may have CIS; as long as cancer cells are in situ, within the ducts or lobules, it is fine. I personally prefer to wait, I trust my cancer killer T cells, and I would proceed with biopsy and surgical treatment only if there is evidence of a tumor, lump from sonogram or MRI, and symptoms. I have a problem with unnecessary biopsies for microcalcifications in the absence of lumps because, as described at the John Hopkins Hospital web page (also from scientific literature and from what you so clearly explained with the paper towel roll), in DCIS “the cells lining the milk ducts turn malignant (cancerous) but stay in place (in situ) and are not invasive”. So, if the cells don’t grow through the duct wall on their own, then why do we have to get biopsies which poke holes in the duct walls, causing local tissue damage, inflammation, cytokine storm, and helping malignant cells to spread? I just discovered you and I will watch other videos, but I wonder what is your opinion about the widespread recommendation for biopsies when suspicious calcifications are seen in mammograms in asymptomatic people. Even the ACS website lists biopsies as risk factors for tumor development, so why do it when no cancer symptoms exist? Thank you so much for this informative material! I think that every woman should watch this.

I’ll share my little story again-I had a surprise with my diagnosis. After a biopsy, my obgyn told me it was dcis, then pre-surgery the breast surgeon told me that it was micro invasive, then after surgery it was invasive-stage 1A, her2 positive, the little bugger! (mildly er positive, not in lymph nodes). I got 12 weeks chemo/1 year of herceptin. Kinda blew my mind, and it was maddening. I wish biopsies were more accurate!

@@MenopauseTaylor I totally understand. I would schedule a consult, but no dr near me will prescribe hrt. I asked, and was shot down pretty quickly. I eat a healthy vegetable based low sugar diet, don’t smoke, exercise daily, and actually had dmx in October so I don’t have to deal with the stress of micromanaged surveillance. Wondering what would be the benefits of a consultation if no one around me will prescribe hrt?
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you, you're the best. I will consider that. MY menopause sucks in many ways, and MY way would be hrt :) Instead, I'm sure my doc will offer sleep meds, anti-depressants, bone drugs, and who knows what else.
@@lisag8463 If your pancreas stopped producing insulin, would you take an antidepressant and sleep meds? This education teaches you what you need to know in order to decide how you want to manage your menopause.

I will not get to that unit for quite some time. I do everything in orderly units, just like school. Please schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME if you'd like me to discuss it and tailor it all to YOU. I do them all online.

I personally prefer to wait, I trust my cancer killer T cells, and I would proceed with biopsy and surgical treatment only if there is evidence of a tumor, lump from sonogram or MRI, and symptoms. I have a problem with unnecessary biopsies for microcalcifications in the absence of lumps because, as described at the John Hopkins Hospital web page (also from scientific literature and from what you so clearly explained with the paper towel roll), in DCIS “the cells lining the milk ducts turn malignant (cancerous) but stay in place (in situ) and are not invasive”. So, if the cells don’t grow through the duct wall on their own, then why do we have to get biopsies which poke holes in the duct walls, causing local tissue damage, inflammation, cytokine storm, and helping malignant cells to spread? I just discovered you and I will watch other videos, but I wonder what is your opinion about the widespread recommendation for biopsies when suspicious calcifications are seen in mammograms in asymptomatic people. Even the ACS website lists biopsies as risk factors for tumor development, so why do it when no cancer symptoms exist?
Thank you so much for this informative material! I think that every woman should watch this.
Cathy,
This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one. I cannot tailor things specifically to you in a comment box. It requires much more information than you can give me here, and you deserve much more information than I can give you here. No two women are alike, and addressing your situation requires tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU. I do them all via online video conferencing. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I look forward to meeting you and helping you.
Welcome aboard to "Menopause Taylor University." You'll find that if you start at the very first video (going by the number after each title), you'll understand absolutely everything. You'll be shocked at what you didn't know, and delighted that now you do know.
Each video builds on the last. It's just like school: You had to learn the alphabet before you could read. And nowadays, there are so many overwhelming misconceptions that women mistake as facts ... that you just don't know what you don't know.
I respond to all comments here on RUclips daily. So, I will answer all your questions ... but I'll also know if you aren't watching the videos in order. (I'm like your mother. I have eyes in the back of my head!)
And if you need me to help you tailor anything to your personal situation, you can schedule a one-on-one consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME any time. I do them all online.
That's why I prefer to do just self exams and not mammograms
They both have their strengths AND weaknesses. Trade-offs, trade-offs, trade-offs.
I’ll share my little story again-I had a surprise with my diagnosis. After a biopsy, my obgyn told me it was dcis, then pre-surgery the breast surgeon told me that it was micro invasive, then after surgery it was invasive-stage 1A, her2 positive, the little bugger! (mildly er positive, not in lymph nodes). I got 12 weeks chemo/1 year of herceptin. Kinda blew my mind, and it was maddening. I wish biopsies were more accurate!
Lisa,
I can help you with this. But it requires a consultation.

@@MenopauseTaylor I totally understand. I would schedule a consult, but no dr near me will prescribe hrt. I asked, and was shot down pretty quickly. I eat a healthy vegetable based low sugar diet, don’t smoke, exercise daily, and actually had dmx in October so I don’t have to deal with the stress of micromanaged surveillance. Wondering what would be the benefits of a consultation if no one around me will prescribe hrt?
@@lisag8463 I will school you in how to find someone to help you manage YOUR menopause YOUR way.
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you, you're the best. I will consider that. MY menopause sucks in many ways, and MY way would be hrt :) Instead, I'm sure my doc will offer sleep meds, anti-depressants, bone drugs, and who knows what else.
@@lisag8463 If your pancreas stopped producing insulin, would you take an antidepressant and sleep meds?
This education teaches you what you need to know in order to decide how you want to manage your menopause.
A consultation tailors it all to you so that you can manage your menopause your way successfully.
Can you please talk about the vagina rejuvenation wand?
I will not get to that unit for quite some time.
I do everything in orderly units, just like school.
Please schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME if you'd like me to discuss it and tailor it all to YOU. I do them all online.
Now curious to details of how they conclude it's CIS
That's based on the pathology report, meaning the tissue examination under the microscope.
@@MenopauseTaylor ooooh ew, after they needle it up oh boy
I had malignant melanoma in situ and was to,d it was stage zero. That is the only other time I have heard of stage zero being used.
It's the same story. Your melanoma cells had not yet invaded the most superficial layer of skin. The might have gone on to do so. Or they might not have.
Recently my mammogram came with Fatty on both breasts is this a consern I should have. Dr said 15% chance of the word 'C' 😏
