Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Thanks Patty and Lynda, I spent the day talking to radiologists today . . . I still have a set of appointments to go, unless I opt for no treatment, or a six-week course. NO CHEMO! . . . NO WAY! . . . Statistics show that, with whole breast radiation, and follow up medication, the chances of reoccurance is less than 1%. . . Reoccurance without radiation or medication is about 40%. It could be years before reoccurance is obvious. Studies of breasts removed via radical masectomies showed that as many as 70% of women had cancer cells that weren't apparent yet - even in women with small tumors. I'm torn between counting on NCD to protect me and going for the safest odds. I had hoped it would have knocked out the cancer cells. However, the study that put 78% of Stage IV cancer patients into remission was done over a one-year period. I know I'll continue NCD regardless. I really can't say what I'm going to do yet! I'm sure that I'll feel better when I make a decision than I do right now while trying to figure out what I'll do next. Hugs, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 I wonder how many of those women who had reoccurance or who had cancer cells that weren't apparent yet had made positive changes to their lifestyle and diet though? I know women who have had breast cancer, went the lumpectomy route with radiation and tamoxifen, and are happy with their victory over cancer, but deep down inside I wonder what they've changed systemically, you know what I mean? I mean, the conditions that produced the cancer in the first place have never been addressed! No change in diet, no change in lifestyle, no positive move in the direction of detoxification and whole body cleansing. So, the conditions for cancer remain ripe.... That has to come into play somewhere, I would think. It would be nice to see some statistics on women who had cancerous tumors removed, and then a totally altered lifestyle that reduced the chances for recurrence of cancer based on becoming more alkaline, increasing vegetable consumption while reducing toxic exposures, etc. Is there such a study anywhere? Rogene, you've got a lifestyle that already fights cancer well. I would think you have a great chance at keeping it at bay. I support you in any choice you will make, because this sure looks like a hard one. I will pray for your peace in it all!

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Hi Rogene! I strongly recommend that you phone Dr. Leu and discuss it with him. He is an oncology specialist. It is a tough decision, one I would be hard pressed to make without his guidance. Kenda > Thanks Patty and Lynda, > > I spent the day talking to radiologists today . . .

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Rogene, Good luck with whatever you decided to do. It's a tough decision, especially for people like us whose immune systems took a hit already due to implants, but I think your instincts are good and you'll make the best choice for you. Thankfully you caught it early. Sis > > > >> Hi Rogene! > >> > >> I strongly recommend that you phone Dr. Leu and > >> discuss it with him.
