General Anesthesia cause Angiogenesis?
Hi All~
Just wondering if anyone out there has heard about this?
One of my close friends is an anesthesiologist & is attending a big conference this week in San Francisco.
He left me a message saying he'd attended a session discussing new research exploring BC metastatic activity post surgery & the possibility that General Anesthesia (some component of the drugs) may encourage angiogenesis.
I've had 5 surgeries in the past 2 years & after each surgery, I've discovered new disease.
8 weeks after my liver resection, 1cm disease in breast
12 weeks after mastectomy, 1cm supraclavicular node
4 weeks after reconstruction, supraclavicular node larger +1 new one.
I'm so relieved to be wrestling w/neck nodes vs. liver mets again. Regardless, it's all very suspect!
This is going to be very imporatant news to follow.
I'm interested in any additional info that may come forward @SABC.
Any thoughts?
