Hello group,?
?
I want to introduce myself.
?
I¡¯m struggling with breast cancer, which seems to be spreading, but I don¡¯t actually have a diagnosis and I¡¯m not seeing an oncologist.?
In early 2023 I went for a mammogram because I was ¡°due¡± at age 40, but also because I had some mild shooting pains in my right breast (right side).?
They found a tiny spot on the chest wall above the right breast and asked me back for more mammograms. On the second round (Feb 2023) they mammogrammed ALOT! I did not have a good feeling about it at all. They also used the ultrasound to try to find the spot they¡¯d seen before. They were not able to find that spot with the ultrasound, but saw it again on the mammogram.?
I asked them while they were doing the ultrasound, to check the right side, and they saw nothing there with the ultrasound or mammogram.?
They told me that the spot on the chest was too small to biopsy, and it was probably benign, but to come back for mammograms every 6 months to keep an eye on it.?
Well, a few days later, I started having burning pain in that right breast that I had never had before. After that, I noticed a progression in that right side (along with occasional pain on my chest) which manifested as pain whenever I had any sugar, such as juice, wine, actual sugar, etc. Since then, I have slowly seen a progression of a thick spot in the right side of my right breast. There are times when it¡¯s doing better, but overall it¡¯s grown and now seems to be spreading under my arm.?
?
So I have been on BP for about 2 years, but only followed it by about 90%, having an ¡°off¡± meal about once a week, and buttered organic popcorn also once a week.?
?
My other modifications are mostly in the area of carbs. I don¡¯t eat anything sweet or bread or potatoes or fruit, except for 2/3 cup black/blue/cranberries in my smoothies.
I use my Blentec to make all my BP meals as smoothies with the flaxseed, FOCC, Sacha inchi, greens powder or actual greens, stevia liquid, and 1/4 tsp ginger.?
supplements:?
cinnamon (before morning smoothie)
vitamin D occasionally?
vitamin c occasionally?
?
Evening:?
I have trouble with glycogen dumping in the early morning and causing cancer pain (that¡¯s how I know it¡¯s happening). I¡¯ve been able to stop this by taking berberine and magnesium Glycinate just before bed. Sometimes I also have a couple eggs.?
since January, I have been taking Ivermectin.?
I started with 20 mg, 4 days per week and now I¡¯m up to 45 mg 4 days per week. However, I have recently noticed mild pain under my arm. So I don¡¯t know if the IVM is helping or not.?
I am definitely not a BP worshiper, as 90% success is only 90%. But I do believe it¡¯s a helpful part of any protocol, and I want to continue.?
I struggle with knowing what other modalities to include. I know that I need to be exercising more and getting more sunshine. I also would like some way to manage stress better. I have a job, 6 kids and a husband who all keep me busy.?
I don¡¯t want to go back to oncology, because I know that they will just want me to do more mammograms and MRIs, and I feel like those things made it worse last time. However, I am looking for naturopathic or alternative medical opinions right now.?
I have a call with the Budwig Clinic coming up soon. I definitely can¡¯t afford their packages, but some of their supplements look good.?
I appreciate any feedback or advice.?
Blessings!
