What is done with these oils and extracts? How
Do they help? I have all of them because I make my own lotions so would love to know how I can use them to fight cancer.-
Here is the reply form DR Dana Flavin who practices integrative medicine in Germany and publishes many papers on her integrative approach to cancer.
Dear Eric, we recommend it as 3 drops of each in a carrier oil like the grapeseed oil. massage twwice a day where there is or was a tumor in the breast.

Interesting. I’m going to have to try this and see if it helps with any of the phantom pains that many of us exhibit in the areas where our tumors removed.

I feel duped. What the statistics really mean and something to consider now that the new standard protocol is taking Tamoxifen for 10 years.

I am sorry Gracie! This is exactly why we so desperately need CrowdHealing! How do you feel duped? What were you told that wasnt true?
-
My oncologist definitely played the statistics game by saying there is a 40+% greater survival rate with taking tamoxifen etc. but what that really means is only a 1-2% difference from those that don’t. I would have never taken it for the last five years and I’m definitely not taking it for another 5. When so much is being thrown at you in a…[Read more]

Leukemia risk higher in certain breast cancer chemotherapy treatments.
-
Unfortunately many of the adult acute leukemia patients I was treated with when I was fighting ALL, were breast cancer “survivors” 5+ years in remission after chemotherapy for breast cancer. The data generally reflects that these women were “cured of breast cancer as they were in remission for 5 years, but then the treatment gave them acute…[Read more]

This really is upsetting. This was not told to me as one of the side effects. I have to go in for a check up because I’ve got swelling around my lymph nodes near my collar bone which is a symptom of leukemia. The protocol for breast cancer treatment really needs to be evaluated because they haven’t changed it in decades and clearly are keeping…[Read more]

Breast cancer: Study identifies a molecular mechanism of drug resistance in ER+ tumors – Medical News TodayStudy suggests that a mechanism of drug resistance in ER+ breast cancers could be changes to the estrogen receptor caused by two immune system molecules.-
Well this makes me question why they are extending the length of this treatment from 5 years to 10 if most of us will become resistant. And this may have just finalized my decision to stop hormone therapy at 5 years.
-
Thank you Gracie for this post and comment! I agree that this makes no sense. Seems like they are extending this simply to collect data and learn more about the mechanisms, but what is in the best interest if the patients??

This seems like great info Ruth but i am a little confused myself. Can you please put this into context for the patients? Like, Is this a treatment option for this type of breast cancer? Is this a first line treatment or a follow up consolidation? Where does this info fit into their treatment options.

If this were a pill, it would be a no-brainer.
Less pain. Emotional stability. Nutritional guidance.
It’s the things a cancer patient needs when coping with the side effects of cancer treatment, helping them “get through today.”
While it’s not a pill, there is a type of medical care that’s been proven to help cancer patients and survivors…[Read more]
