Hi Heng, In regards to the food. I try and only eat organic food. This can be expensive so I do the best I can. Markets are a great place to get good wholesome food and that is what your mum needs. I also find that having a vege and fruit juice each day is beneficial for me. I usually have apple, carrot, celery, ginger and lime. It really is about being as proactive as you can be to live a good life. This includes being stress-free, eating well, sleeping well, having lots of supports and love and being monitored by the specialists. Is it possible for your mum to visit a Chinese Herbalist to assist her with some vitamins? I take Calcium with Vitamin D, Immune Support and some mixed herbs vitamins to assist me to have the best health possible. If your mum's bc is hormone receptive she will be prescribed medication like Tamoxifen or Arimidex. If the side effects are too bad then she will need to let her Medical Oncologist know and the meds can be changed. It is really important to continue with these kinds of meds for at least 5 years. I hope your mum will be able to find an Asian support group near where you live. I will do a search to see if there is one. XLeonie
