CHAPTER 1

The Emerging Model of Breast Cancer Care


It's not all about the treatment.

Several years ago, I received a call from Ruth, a medical doctor who was part of a familypractice based near Chicago, Illinois. About two years earlier, she was diagnosed withbreast cancer. Things were not going well. "I need other options," she said.

As we talked, Ruth first shared how she'd recently become exceedingly depressed andquit her work to have time to heal. However, she was now stuck, overwhelmed by thethought that she may not live to see her two children become adults. She hoped I mightshare with her more details of the recent findings I'd reported at a conference she'dattended.

From the perspective of orthodox medicine, Ruth was strictly following protocol, doingeverything perfectly. This included a mastectomy followed by both chemotherapy andradiation. She'd recently switched from tamoxifen to raloxifene because the reduced risksof adverse effects, especially blood clots, seemed to dictate that change to her. Aftertalking for about twenty minutes, Ruth agreed to complete the Cancer Recovery Group'sstandard intake form and email it back to me. A follow-up appointment was set for twoweeks.

Except for too much refined sugar in her diet, Ruth's responses to our questionnaire werestandard. Our second phone call was anything but.

She first needed to talk about her surgeon, a man to whom she had often referred her ownpatients. They were professional colleagues, and their spouses even knew one another,she told me. Then Ruth angrily and tearfully unloaded.

"After my diagnosis was confirmed," said Ruth, "our entire relationship changed. Now Iwas told exactly what to do, to share the intimate details of my life, to describe mysymptoms and even my monthly menstrual cycles and private sexual behavior. I wasstripped naked, both physically and emotionally. I was just another patient. I saw theprivileged status of doctor ripped away from me. To the medical system, I was nowreduced to just another Stage II infiltrating ductal carcinoma. I was expected to do as Iwas told. And beyond genetic mutations, my doctors could provide no insights into why Icontracted this god-awful disease."


The Question of Cause

There is no one cause for all breast cancers. Nor is there just one treatment...
