Breast Cancer- “Overwhelmed with what to do…”

From: Kathleen
Subject: Overwhelmed with what to do

Message Body:
I am 65 years old in perfect health except the above. I had lumpectomy Dec 29/2015. I do not believe in chemo. I found the lump April/2015 and was using herbal, the affected area was decreased 2/3 during 6 mths. of herbal prior to surgery my surgeon is sending the pathologyst’s report for review asking where did other 2/3 went. I did not tell her about the herbal I did not want the eye rolls. I want to continue with my herbal usage. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi Kathleen,

Yes, there are several anti-angiogenic, anti-oxidant supplements that are cytotoxic to breast cancer, anti BC nutrition, anti-cancer mind-body therapies and finally anti-BC lifestyle therapies.

To confirm, you were diagnosed with breast cancer in April of 2015. Do you remember what stage? After about nine months of non-conventional therapies (herbal), your BC tumor shrunk by 2/3. At which time you choose to have the tumor removed with a lumpectomy.

Also, yes, there are many herbal/botanical supplements that are anti-cancer or anti-BC or both. If it is okay with you I would also like to research and identify those essential oils that are anti BC as well. You can read the articles and/r studies and decide for yourself what therapies you choose to pursue. There are also a number of mind-body therapies that have shown efficacy in fighting cancer.

Kathleen, I am a cancer coach. Personal experience has taught me that cancer patients need to pursue a multimodal approach to beating their cancer. I would recommend identifying the above discussed therapies and providing you with specifics- studies and what to buy, where, etc. Please go to my cancer coaching website to think about working with me.

Thank you,

Hi Maria-

I am sorry to read of your breast cancer diagnosis. I understand that a diagnosis of cancer can be overwhelming. In order for me to research your situation, present information to you, etc. I need to understand your stage at diagnosis. A diagnosis of “Invasive Ductal Carcinoma – ER+ pr- HER 2” can mean different therapies depending on your stage at diagnosis. A lumpectomy and local radiation is designed to kill any remaining local BC cells. This is a good start to your therapy.

If your onc. recommended a lumpectomy and not a full mastectomy then my thinking is that your BC is early stage. If this is so please confirm.

Let me know and hang in there.

Diagnosed with Cancer? Your two greatest challenges are understanding cancer and understanding possible side effects from chemo and radiation. Knowledge is Power!
