Abstract
A 65-year-old female had an abnormal mammogram during her annual screening showing an 8 mm mass in the right breast. She is postmenopausal with the onset of menarche at 11 years and menopause at 50 years. She is a widow with two children with the first live birth at 30 year and second girl at 36. This 65-year female was on hormone replacement for 10 years due to migraine headaches. She has not had a hysterectomy. This case report uses this medical history and pathology report to identify variables for a clinical reasoning algorithm to develop a survival plan of care. A holistic plan is developed for her surgery, adjunctive therapy, diet, and integrative medicine to treat mind, body, and spirit. Preventive care is also discussed.
