My 60 year old mother was recently diagnosed with breast cancer....Initially it was classified as stage I. After they did the lumpectomy and biopsied her lymph nodes, the doctor said the tumor was slightly larger than he was expecting and upgraded the cancer to stage II. They also informed her that the found cancer in 4 of 9 lymph nodes....Moving forward, the oncologist is recommending that she does chemotherapy for roughly 5 months which has me quite concerned after learning about the deleterious effects of chemo/radiation. I have provided her with various suggestion/supplements so far:
aspirin (325 mg atleast twice a day...I want her doing more but she's apprhensive)
b vitamins- now foods ultra b12 complex ( i bought this for her because it has niacinamide, thiamine, b12 and the rest of the bs which i thought would make it easier for her instead of taking individual pills ex b3-500 mg etc)
vitamin d3-4-6ooo iu
vitamin k mk4- 4 mg once a day
avoiding pufa as much as possible and focusing on fruits and veggies(mainly ripe pineapple, mangos,oranges, cherries,bananas, very well cooked potatoes)
chaga mushroom tea
white button mushrooms
carrots and carrot salad
pau d'arco tincture (2ml - 3x a day) - i plan to push this more after reading @Travis and @haidut posts on quinones and methylglyoxal and am making a 2:1 tincture with powdered taheebo and vodka. i am extremely hopeful with this medicine alone
skim milk
coconut oil - 1 tbsp 3x a day
beef or lamb if she eats meat
will be getting her to focus on slowing breath, nasal/abdominal breathing and bag breathing
i've told her about taking gelatin but the taste is not appealing and discourages her from using
I'm not sure how consistent she is with dosage and frequency and I'm not trying to overwhelm her but my question is this:
1. although I want to talk her out of the conventional treatment, I don't want to add unnecessary stress at this point as she trusts her "doctor" more than anything information I can present her with..she is extremely worried about it spreading and thinks the chemo is her best option of prevention.......If she does decide to go through with the treatment, is there anything that can be recommended to reduce the harmful effects of chemo?
2. does anybody have any other suggestions? i really want to give her a solid simple protocol that she can easily follow without overwhelming her too much. she's of the "old school" mentality although i am quite happy with her attempts to listen to my suggestions after her initial diagnosis
lastly, ive ordered some progest e but am concerned about her taking it if her thyroid isn't up to snuff which i assume is the case....thoughts?
anyways, i am sincerely thankful/grateful to anyone who is willing to offer any suggestions. i spend much of my time on this forum and have saved soo much information in word files, i just need a way of summarizing it and making it cohesive enough for her to follow with consistency.
i wish all of you, your family and friends an abundance of health and happiness!
my warmest regards,
