Breast Cancer Survival Diet
Breast cancer and survival at young age?
I was diagnosed with breast cancer three years ago today at the age of 31….it was a nast diagnosis with 7 positive lymph nodes which led to mastectomy, chemo, rads and 2 years of Herceptin in a trial . So far I am ok,although as I only finished Herceptin in June I do still feel a little creaky and tired…..the weight gain from the hormonals has been awful and I hate feeling so fat but I suppose its better to be alive than a skinny dead!
Anyway just wanted to know how to cope with the fear cancer brings, I have an eight year old I want to raise to adulthood and I lay awake at night just crying and crying…..doesi t ever get better? and how many women really survive this and live to a ripe old age?
Any suggestions on diet and supplements too would be great….I do log on to various cancer websites and they help but sometimes I feel I should have “moved on” by now!
I was diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer just over 2 years. I did partial mastectomy, chemo and radiation. My cancer was not estrogen or progestrin receptive so Herceptin wouldn’t do anything for mine. I too worry everytime a feel a little twinge or soreness in that breast.
Has your doctor recommended hysterectomy and having your ovaries removed? Because many breast cancers feed on estrogen this could be a good move.
My sister was diagnosed with breast cancer 13 years ago, she also had young children at home and she is doing just fine now.
I have found that the best thing to do is to keep positive, and get out and support others who are going through or have gone through similar situations, which also helped me tremendously with getting back on my feet,. I have to remember that I am not the only one who had/has cancer.
