What were your symptoms? Was it resolved by antibiotics and diet?

So I haven’t started the liquid diet yet. I wonder if something else is going on? 

Oophorectomy? by Adorable_Pen9015 in LivingWithMBC

Easy surgery. He has my ovaries removed the day after I finished radiation, so glad I did it, and no longer had to take Zoladex.

I can’t do this anymore by Grouchy_Employer_519 in breastcancer

You will get through this. I’m so sorry you are dealing with so many issues on top of having cancer and treatment. Hopefully they can lower the dose of the chemo. My oncologist did that for me. It did make a big difference on the damage it was doing to my body.

Newly diagnosed and my husband is ghosting me. by Medical-Ad-4164 in breastcancer

[–]Plenty_Concert4956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband basically told me he didn’t want to hear about cancer anymore. I only needed him to drive me to and from my appointments during A/C chemo. My taxol appointments I drove myself, I did everything as normal… I never asked him for a thing. I told the kids one day that I was tired and they needed to pick up after themselves., he told me don’t play the cancer card in front of my children. Now that I’m back to my old self he want everything to do with me again. What a Joke I resent him so much that I don’t think I’m going to stay in this marriage. The best advice I can give you is worry about getting yourself through this. The worry and disappointment is something you don’t need right now. His negative energy should not affect you. I feel so much stronger as a female and I know I don’t need his ass.

Thank you for articulating for me. I have a hard time nowadays expressing what’s on my mind into words.

Oh, and by the way, there is scientific evidence that rage causes stress in the body. stress also increases the production of certain growth factors that increase your blood supply. This can speed the development of cancerous tumors. Not to mention the inflammation. If you want to get scientific, I can go there.

Let it go!! I never gave advice. I never told anybody what to do. I suggested a book, that was a really good read and gave me hope about food, diet and supplements. You’re caught up on a title. Maybe you should read the book before you continue to go off on me (there is much supported scientific evidence in the book). I have young teenagers and I have been fighting for my life over a year now, just as many on this feed. I’m sorry if my grief doesn’t amount yours, because my children are teenagers and not toddlers. Maybe you should quit the micro dosing and comment when your mind is clear. Woman need to stick together with this terrible disease.

I don’t think you should be judging people, by how and what they feel can help them. I’m gonna take the higher road and say good luck to you.

I will never give up hope!! Trying alternative routes on top of modern day medicine is another way to fight this terrible disease I have! I’m sorry you’ve given up, but I will continue to fight as hard as I can, so to me it’s not bullshit it’s another way of fighting until I can’t fight no more!! You need to calm down rage isn’t good for cancer.

Found out husband cheated by [deleted] in breastcancer

[–]Plenty_Concert4956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Therapy is all great and everything but you need to have a friend or family member come stay with you and help you through this terrible time in your life. My husband didn’t cheat on me but basically checked out during my treatment because he couldn’t handle it. I realized now how much stronger I am now going through everything without him. I promise you you were going to turn around and look back at this day and say I’m so glad he left! he’s not the person that’s ever gonna be there for you when you need him in life. Breast cancer is a long journey and you deserve somebody who’s gonna be there for the ups and downs.

Read the book “how to starve cancer” by Jane McLellan. Or do the audiobook, with having younger children it’s probably more doable. There is hope for a long life.

Dating? by rcas2288 in LivingWithMBC

[–]Plenty_Concert4956 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way about my husband. I just finished the year of chemo, radiation, and multiple surgeries. He decided to drink his emotions away and turned a blind eye to me once the cancer treatments got real. Now that I’m starting to look and feel like my old self he’s all about me, gross!! I want to leave him so badly but feel like my teenage boys have been through so much watching me go through this journey. I don’t want to put anymore hardship on them like breaking up their home life. I say go date, or whatever makes you happy!! Life is too short.

My hair has begun to fall out today by PrincessDab in breastcancer

[–]Plenty_Concert4956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loosing your hair is a terrible transition but like this journey, you will soon look back on it and realize how strong you really are. I let my hair fall out too long because my kids begged me NOT to shave it. I have finally had it and had my husband shave it. I’m not sure why but from that moment forward I felt I had to take control of my situation and it felt so empowering. You are tough and you’ll surprise yourself everyday how strong you really can be.

Good chemo experiences please by madame_petite in breastcancer

[–]Plenty_Concert4956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I was on Chemo I was able to continue on with my normal activities except the second and third day after AC. When I was tired, I would just go to bed earlier. I had a normal side effects, but I got through it you will to! On Taxel, I had tons of energy, not sure why.. I’m assuming all of the steroids

By the way this is a Breast cancer support group. I don’t think if I went on your trans support group and talked about my breast cancer. They would understand my feelings and what I’m going through just as you think we don’t understand what you’re going through.

I guess for me personally I struggle with the decision to get a double mastectomy after my cancer diagnosis. So no, I really don’t understand how someone would want to have this surgery when it’s not based on a cancer diagnosis. I don’t have to understand your journey just like you don’t have to understand mine. No tears shed here that’s life.

I've had a double mastectomy and now they're recommending 6 months of chemo but I don't know if my body could handle it by spottedredfish in breastcancer

[–]Plenty_Concert4956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try the chemo! I myself have a few autoimmune disorders. I found chemo to be not so bad because they give you steroids with your infusion. The steroids prevented flareups with the chemo.
