About me

My name is Natasha (Kohlhoff) Polak, and I have been writing ever since I was a child and loved books. I suppose it was my destiny to become a writer-what with having an unusual maiden name, and now a married name. To me, writing is what makes the world go round, and there is nothing more important than to share what you know with others, to be of help to them. I write from my life experiences, and from talking to those who have been through ones themselves. I am a wife and mother; I have a toddler daughter who keeps us busy, and a kitten named Mickey. One of the things I find myself exceptionally good at is taking information that I know and conveying that information in a way that appeals to my readers. When I have the time, I also write fiction stories, inspirational essays, and poetry. You can find more information about me at http://www.myspace.com/natashalkp/

What is a Phylloides Tumor?
A phylloides or phyllodes tumor is a fast-growing, leaf-like tumor that occurs in the connective tissue of the breast. It can be benign, borderline (or pre-cancerous) or malignant. When developed into cancer, it is different from what you typically define as breast cancer, since it does not affect the lymph nodes, does not occur in stages, and is therefore considered a sarcoma. Because of this, it is harder to treat beyond a recommended mastectomy for recurring tumors. It does not respond to radiation or chemotherapy once metastasized.
