Breast Cancer
Storyboard Text
- A fifty three year old female goes to her yearly mammogram appointment and learns devastating news
- Yes, what is it?
- What does that mean?
- How could this happen?
- We found an invasive carcinoma in your breast and it has spread to lymph nodes.
- We have to talk about something important. Are you prepared?
- You have Stage 3 Breast Cancer. I'm so sorry.
- Your invasive carcinoma has lots of genetic changes, cell proliferation, genomic instability, and cell death. Through these progressions, there is a decrease in telomere length which increases apoptosis. These are some of the flaws that we have detected in your carcinoma.
- There are many reasons for why you have this cancer. It could be because of genetic instability which could lead to mutations in mitotic checkpoint genes.
- It means that you have a malignant tumor within your breast and it is spreading towards your chest wall and towards your skin, as well.
- We will get you started on chemotherapy and speak about surgery and then radiation later. Again, I am so sorry and we will do our best to take care of you.
- Okay, what is the treatment plan?
