Hey, Mr. Sandman!
You’re feeling tired and

WOMEN’S HEALTH ▸
Get to know
your body
Many women don’t think of their breasts as a burden. But for Rene Syler, they
were constant reminders of her family’s battle with breast cancer.
The former CBS broadcaster and now Good Enough Mother blogger was
only in grade school when her father was diagnosed with the disease. Her
mother’s breast cancer diagnosis followed almost 25 years later.
“I would go every year and have a mammogram, and you would see these
crazy white flecks,” Rene says. “After four biopsies, I knew this wasn’t the
way I wanted to live.”
Rene decided to make a strategic, preventive move to eliminate her breast
cancer risk: In 2011, she had a double mastectomy. Her journey to this decision
now serves as a platform for empowering women to learn about and be proactive
regarding their own breast health.
“You have to be as good to yourself as you are to everyone else,” Rene tells
women — and that starts with your wellness.
Know your roots
“You’ve got to ask
questions of everyone in
your family until you get
some answers,” Rene says.
Based on your family history, your
doctor can help determine when you
should start getting mammograms
and how often. Your doctor may
also recommend genetic testing to
see if you are predisposed to breast
and ovarian cancers.
If you don’t have a family history,
don’t brush off breast cancer as a
possibility. “Family history is actually
a factor in only 10 percent of breast
cancer diagnoses,” Rene says. “If
you’re a woman, you’re at risk.”
Schedule a
mammogram
The American
Cancer Society
recommends that women
of average risk schedule their
first mammogram at age 40. But
many women make excuses, even
saying they’d rather not know if
they have cancer.
“You’ll know if you have breast
cancer, but will you know early
enough to do something about it?”
Rene says. “Breast cancer, if caught
early, is nearly 100 percent curable.
“We have to stay on top of this.
You can’t say you’re too busy for a
mammogram. No one is that busy.”
Do breast self-exams
“There’s a lot of data that says self-exams don’t help, but I don’t think
there can be a bad thing in knowing your body,” Rene says. “You need
to be able to tell when things aren’t right.”
For tips on self-exams, visit MethodistHealthSystem.org/HealthLibrary.

Questions & Answers
with Richard Wallner, MD, FACOG
w
”
Richard Wallner, MD, FACOG, gynecologist on the medical staff at
Methodist Charlton Medical Center, shares his expertise regarding
some common women’s health questions.
Q
A
How often do I really need a
Pap test?
I recommend that women
have their first Pap test two to
three years after the first time they
have intercourse and then annually
until age 30. That’s when you’ll
also start being tested for HPV — a
sexually transmitted virus that can
ultimately lead to cervical cancer.
If your Pap test and HPV
screening are both normal, you
can reduce Pap tests to every
three years.
Starting at age 65, you should
have one every two years, as
long as results are normal. Your
doctor may also have other
recommendations based on your
personal health history.
Q
Now that I’m postmenopausal, should I consider taking
estrogen supplements?
A
It’s worth discussing with
your doctor, as there are definite
benefits to estrogen therapy. It
improves your thinking abilities,
preserves bone mass, raises good
cholesterol levels, improves blood
circulation, and reduces risks for
heart disease. Another perk is that
it prevents overactive bladder and
vaginal discomfort.
There is a minor risk for blood
clots in the lungs, however, as
well as a slightly increased risk for
breast cancer when combined
with progesterone. And estrogen
therapy is not a safe option if
you have a history of estrogendependent cancer.
Q
After my period, I often have
a gray-colored vaginal discharge
with a strange, fishy odor. Is this
a problem?
A
You are describing bacterial
vaginosis (BV), a condition caused
by too much “bad” bacteria in the
vagina. It’s usually controlled by the
natural acidity in “good” bacteria,
but menstruating, having a new
partner, douching, and smoking
can all lower this acidity and throw
off the good-bad bacteria ratio.
Definitely see your doctor if
you’re showing symptoms of BV;
he or she can prescribe antibiotics.
Treatment also helps prevent other
risks associated with BV, such as
increased risk of contracting or
transmitting a sexually transmitted
infection or, if you’re pregnant,
increased risk of preterm delivery.

Steps you can take now
They say that lightning never strikes the

can’t be said for heart attacks.
“The truth is, once you’ve had a heart
attack, you face an increased risk of having
another one,” says Roberto Wayhs, MD,
FACC, FSCAI, chief of cardiology at
Methodist Charlton Medical Center.
“The good news is that you aren’t
guaranteed to have another one. In

can do to prevent one.”

Taking care of
BUSINESS
Cassandra Beasley acted fast against breast cancer
When busy mom Cassandra Beasley
got the results from her breast biopsy in
fall 2013, “everything started moving
fast,” she says.
Within weeks of a stage II breast
cancer diagnosis, she had already had a
lumpectomy and two other procedures
to address the tumor and affected
lymph nodes.
The fast pace actually suited her get-itdone approach to life’s challenges.
“After I got the diagnosis, I was
shocked, so I immediately went back to
the Women’s Imaging Center at Methodist
Charlton Medical Center, where I’d had
my biopsy,” Cassandra says. “I wanted to
know more. Right away, I was connected
with a nurse navigator.”
Vicki Hallum, RN, CBCN, spent the
next couple of hours talking with Cassandra.
“Vicki was wonderful,” Cassandra says.
“I’m sure she was busy, but she interrupted
her schedule to sit down with me and
answer my questions. She let me know
what to expect in the next few months.”
Armed with information, Cassandra
went into problem-solving mode.
“I said, ‘I’ve got a life to live — let’s get
started,’ ” she says.
Leaning on her support system
Cassandra’s positive outlook proved
helpful in the months following surgery.
In January, she began chemotherapy
treatments, accompanied by her
10
❁
11-year-old daughter (her “little
treatment partner”).
Cassandra’s support group of family,
friends, and co-workers, as well as her
health care team at Texas Oncology –
Methodist Charlton Cancer Center, made
it easier for her to bear hair loss and the
challenges of managing treatment.
“I can’t believe how nice the staff is,”
Cassandra says. “When they say, ‘Call
anytime,’ they really mean it. They’re
thorough and take the time to make
sure you’re getting the care you need.”
Moving to a brighter beat
In June, Cassandra completed
radiation therapy.
“Cassandra’s radiation treatments were
only a few minutes a day for 6½ weeks,”
says Kesha Harris-Henderson, MD,
radiation oncologist at Methodist Charlton.
“She tolerated radiation treatment well.
She experienced only mild side effects
from her prior treatments and was able
to keep up with her busy lifestyle.”
That was good news for Cassandra,
since summer also marked her return
to one of her joys: Zumba®.
“One of the first questions I asked
after I was diagnosed was ‘How does
this affect my Zumba?’ ” she says,
laughing. “I was so ready to go back,
because it’s my dose of energy.”
Staying connected to enjoyable
activities as much as possible and

maintaining a normal routine are among
the top pieces of advice that Cassandra
has for other cancer patients.
Her other advice? Keep your
mammography appointment.
“Annual checkups and mammograms
may be uncomfortable, but that’s
nothing compared to what might
happen if you skip them or put them
off,” she says. “Early detection is easily
worth it.”

As seen
Methodist Charlton treated Bonnie Kaufman’s cancer
with the latest technology and knowledge
Retiree Bonnie Kaufman was enjoying her active lifestyle, spending time with her
five great-grandkids and tending her yard, among other activities. That all came to a halt
when doctors discovered she had colon cancer and would require surgery.
The trouble began in May 2013 when Bonnie was scheduled for a colonoscopy to
find the source of her anemia.
“Because of my low heart rate, the procedure had to be postponed,” Bonnie says. Even
though a sonogram of her heart and an X-ray of the large intestine did not reveal any
health concerns, she began having severe stomach pain.
“Even housekeeping became too much of a chore for me,” she says.
In February, her primary care physician, Shehetaj Abdurrahim, MD, on the medical
staff at Methodist Charlton Medical Center, scheduled a CT scan, which showed
a spot on Bonnie’s colon. Bonnie was referred to Anil Tibrewal, MD, general
surgeon on the medical staff. A follow-up colonoscopy confirmed it was cancer.
Dr. Tibrewal suggested a minimally invasive procedure to remove the cancerous
section of her colon.
Great care at Methodist Charlton
Dr. Tibrewal is specially trained in operating with the robotic da Vinci® Surgical System,
which gives surgeons increased visibility, dexterity, and precision when operating.
“I thought it was exciting!” Bonnie says about having robot-assisted surgery. She
remembers watching a TV program on robotic surgery and thinking, “That’s the kind of
surgery I had.”
Bonnie says the team who cared for her at Methodist Charlton was great. She also
appreciated the large hospital room that easily accommodated a visit from her greatgrandchildren and her daughter-in-law’s overnight stay.
Fast healing
Everyone was surprised that Bonnie had so little pain after surgery, just some soreness
for a few days. Even better is that the robotic procedure removed all of the cancer,
eliminating the need for chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
Bonnie was quickly back to playing in the yard with her great-grandkids — and
recruiting them to help with yard work. At age 82, she’s mowing the grass, pulling weeds,
and trimming bushes. “Anything it takes to enjoy the outdoors,” Bonnie says.

Robot takes surgery
beyond the limits
of the human hand
The latest evolution in surgical and
robotics technology, the da Vinci®
Surgical System, is now at Methodist
Charlton Medical Center. Robotassisted surgery allows the surgeon
to operate with enhanced vision,
precision, dexterity, and control.
For most patients, da Vinci
surgery offers numerous benefits
over traditional surgery, including:
w Smaller incisions
w Significantly less pain
w Fewer complications
w Less scarring
w A shorter hospital stay
w A faster return to normal
daily activities.
“Talk with your doctor about all
treatment options, as well as the
risks and benefits of each,” says
Anil Tibrewal, MD, general surgeon
on the medical staff at Methodist
Charlton. “If da Vinci surgery is
right for you, rest assured that it is
the skill of the surgeon that guides
the robot. Da Vinci interprets the
surgeon’s movements in real time
and enhances his or her visual
capabilities. The result is an overall
better experience for both the
surgeon and you.”
