Essential Oils

Hi @Shorelle, I have used essential oils previously. Absolutely love lavender, used peppermint for migraines etc etc. I have not thought about whether there was a link and I would not say that my use of oils would have been often enough or sustained enough to trigger BC (my cancer was also ER+ and PR+). But to tell you the honest truth I don't bother worrying why I got BC. I think that until causes are factually proven,  trying to determine how I developed my BC is one way to add unnecessary stress to my life that I don't need. I just tend to think of it as - everyone has cancer cells in their bodies and for some unknown reason those cells got triggered into action. Whether it was stress, preservatives, too much sugar, too many processed foods - who knows. You've probably already seen the link for The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre and their about herbs site. It lists all what herbs are good to use and those that we should look out for.

Personally I don't think that you have done anything to cause your cancer - I reckon it's many many many factors over many years. I'm hoping that this is not causing you distress, if it is please contact the BCNA nurses 1800 500 258 to try and put your mind at rest. Big hug lovely. Xx Cath
