    Default Recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer

    So of course, I was scared, worried, cried my eyes out...but something deep down inside me kept telling me something...

    When I found the lump, I KNEW it wasn't cancer..I was SO DAMN SURE. I am a healthy person with healthy habits, cancer doesn't run in my family and I'm not even 30 years old yet. I went to the doctor so sure it wasn't cancer and when he hit me with the news, it was like I was hit by a truck.

    I was diagnosed with DCIS which is considered stage 0. The funny thing about this one is that it is non-invasive. Cancer is usually invasive.

    Then I find this:

    http://www.anoasisofhealing.com/dcis...breast-cancer/

    https://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/...reatment/?_r=0

    Sure, it an article on the internet and anyone could write anything and publish it..but after my extensive research on the disease, I found a few things alarming.

    Sure, I need surgery, no doubt about that. But doctors are suggestion aggressive cancer treatments such as radiation, chemo and a pill called Tamoxifen. Radiation is the most common treatment for DCIS ...as far as chemo, despite the fact my doctor was nonchalant about my "cancer" progressing, she still mentions chemo- I learn later that doctors get a huge payout for chemo. SO why suggest a treatment that leads to organ failures and weak immune system for something that is not that serious?? It doesn't add up.


    Tamoxifen- I do not know where to start with that mess because I have SO MUCH negative things to say so let me leave a link:

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/heal...nd-cancer.html

    So basically, its a pill that not only gives you pre menopause(hot flashes, dry pussy, no sex drive), IT LEADS TO MORE CANCER!

    The point of this post is to warn somebody- ANYBODY. DCIS is a large percentage of breast cancer cases. YES, IT CAN lead to aggressive cancer but most of the time IT DOESN'T. If you or a loved one was diagnosed with this, please do your research before you accept aggressive cancer treatments. Don't let them scare you into thinking you're going to die.

    A few tips for cancer in general- Apricot seeds, Budwig diet- please look these up. Diet alone can change your life. Remember Cancer is a cash cow for this medical industry.

    Even though I am scared because cancer is associated with death sentence, I am 80% sure I can over come this and I am proud of myself for not falling in the sick rabbit hole. Their goal is to make you sicker and take your money.

    I am speaking for my personal experience and DCIS, even though my beliefs on aggressive cancer are similar, I cannot speak for higher cancer stages. Everyone has the right to make a choice, this is just MY choice and just urging people to read around before deciding.

    Just to be clear- my plastic surgeon is the one who gave me the news. I went to him initially because I thought it was implant related then he ordered me the MRI and biopsy.

    The one who suggested the treatments is a general surgeon.

    This was a lot to take in. I'm not exactly sure what to say other than I sincerely hope that you prevail and I really hope that you have people around you who can love on you and help you get through it.

    JoBee, my late wife had breast cancer and I was her care-giver for six years. She presented at stage IV, however, and she was 55, so her situation is quite different.

    I would certainly get some additional opinions. The two best cancer hospitals in the world are MD Anderson in Houston and Sloan-Kettering in NY. Like anything else, the skill and expertise of doctors and institutions vary greatly. This is very important. I would certainly consider making a trip to consult with the best.

    I am sorry to hear that this is happening to you. I have never dealt with this myself so I can't help you there. I have only dealt with cervical cancer but I did have a friend who battled breast cancer for 2 and a half years. However it was stage IV when found and unfortunately she lost her battle since it was so advanced. I think that you have a much better chance of being able to fight this. Is there a way for the doctor to surgically remove the cancer? If I were you I'd definitely get a second opinion. I'm not sure where you are but there should be hospitals near you that specialize in cancer. That is good that you know about apricot seeds(also sometimes referred to as b17). I have heard that cutting sugar from your diet when you have cancer can help a lot because cancer cells feed on sugar. I hope that you have supportive people in your life who are here for you right now.

    Sending positive vibes your way.

    The seeds of apples and dark grapes are good to chew on for this as well. I've heard about the apricot seeds too.
