Hi Debbie,
From everything I've read and seen in my short life of 48 years is that cancer doesn't discriminate and I need to do everything in my power to heal which means following advice from those who are educated in the field of medicine.
After my diagnosis, I've had some one say I should change my diet. Whatever that means? A diet of moderation healthy eating, high fibre, low processed food is what I've eaten anyway. Breast fed 2 kids for 13 months each. Exercised 4 times a week, non smoker but enjoyed a glass of wine with dinner. I've given up asking why. That's not the question any more.
I agree with Karen in her earlier comment. You make a decision based on the information at hand. I've seen a person, with a different cancer, regretting their decision for rejecting conventional medicine and for it to be too late.
I'm about to start chemo, awaiting recovery from mastectomy first and need to still see the medical oncologist.
I've warned all my friends and family not to go to dr google and to only go to recommended websites for info. My 16 yo daughter has read the whole bcna breast cancer info book cover to cover!
The journey continues
