LadyEdith Sorry to hear of your mets but glad you have cleared chemo off the table. My Cervix is a war zone , two lots of excision, a cone biopsy and follow up lazer surgery to get rid of more Cancer but it was cervical and in situ, and then they threaded it with "stout thread" when I was carrying my DDs because it had given way and caused me to miscarry. I am due a smear but the average Gp has never seen anything like it and whilst it is entertaining to see how they handle the suspicion they have a patient here with something nasty it also invites in the paranoia so I am steeling myself. I almost always end up with a Colposcopy . I just hate having some man staring up my fanny with binoculars!
Pen I also take milk thistle, it's good for preventing hangovers apart from anything else! It protects the liver and in Germany they actually prescribe it for anyone with Liver disease.
I also take a multivitamin, and a omega 3,6,9 capsule , and added Calcium because i have Osteoporosis . I am rethinking coenzyme Q10, there was a proper randomised study that showed 200 mg a day reduced recurrence in bc patients but now there is an American study that shows women that have a high level have a higher chance of Bc , no direct correlation but enough, like soya to warn women to avoid it. I hate this precautionary stuff because you wonder if it is driven by prejudice rather than Science. Anyway it is also good for joints and I need all the help i can get but then again it is really expensive.. Hums....ahs.....
Thinks do I rattle more than gigs?
I do use a lot of turmeric in cooking, and lentils, and only good oils , i avoid anything with bad oils, we're almost veggie and just generally focus on a healthy diet but then I was a lentil weaver before and that didn't sTop me getting cancer more than once...
I also take glucosamine sulphate, this is not on nutritionists advice but the bionic vet (as he was christened by tv programme on him) recommended it for goon dog who has worn out his joints in just 8 years of lunacy and I thought if it would help him it would help me!
On the same theme LEECHES! Years and years ago when i was a teenager my horse was on his way out with something called fistulous withers, we had rescued him from a trekking centre where they had allowed saddle sores to get infected. The vet had heard that they were experimenting with the use of leeches so we tried them as a last resort and they worked, he went on to live to a ripe old age and teach my nephew to ride! Obviously hnd may not be interested in a future as a good ride ;-) but they work! Give her my best wishes and I bet her tit is going to be amazing.
AtoZ I had problems with my guts too and constipation that led to the worst piles since giving birth, I longed to go into gory detail when people told me how well I looked ! You should see my ......
I can 't add to all the advice above except do watch your temperature like a hawk. Get anti biotics at the first sign of any infection. I ended up in hospital because I didn't want to be over dramatic about a sore throat.
Tipsy Topsy everyone deserves remission, it's the Cancer none of us deserve.
