Got my results two days ago and the tumour removed was 3.1 cm and it was in the sentiniel lymph node , l have to have chemo and radiation . The tumour was hormone positive only and the stress is i am pregnant , having termination today. I have 3 chn , youngest is 14 months . I do not want the baby . i am not in the right frame of mind and my decision is final . i just need some encouragement people, . I am 39 years old DR said i also have pre cancer cells and may have to go on hormoe tablets as well.

https://www.bcna.org.au/health-wellbeing/physical-wellbeing/healthy-eating/ - @Chipo. Well done! Lots of protein, veggies, a bit of fresh fruit such as apples and pears (not too much of the sugary summer ones), lots of pulses, try to avoid carbs, no sugar (except an occasional bit of dark chocolate), wine as necessary. The Michael Mosley recipe book is great.
- No good asking me about healthy diet either lol. Hugz <3
- @Chipo What a rough patch you are going through! You can only do what you can do, at this moment. Listen to your own gut instincts. Try to block out any judgment from anyone else. Your decision is perfectly logical. I wish you strength. Fran x
- Dear @Chipo , Best wishes from jennyss in Western NSW xoxo
- Hey there @Chipo so glad you’re ok. Now you can focus on yourself and your treatment. Biggest hug. As for your diet just eat as healthy as you can. During treatment things can sometimes change and your taste can be affected so when that happens you eat what you feel like to be honest. Just take a day at a time at the moment and be kind to yourself. Margie xx
- Virtual hugs to you, @Chipo
