I had a clear mammogram today
Edited on Fri Aug-29-03 03:16 PM by Sweetpea
After having a lumpectomy for breast cancer in 2000. I blamed that on Bush too...stress..:-)

But tonight I am going to CELEBRATE!!!!!:toast:


I am ecstatic because I did an alternative treatment with the lumpectomy. I was advised to do chemo and radiation but I chose escharotics. I have been clear for a year and a half.....no tamoxifen for me.....Yippee!!!!!!

3. I am so happy for you. I haven't had one for too many years.
Had fibrocystic disease and just got tired of worrying all the time. I have made and broken many appointments. You are brave.

9. Here is a website of the practioner I worked with
It isn't the most clinical site but it explains the process.

10. wonderful news, sweetpea!!!
:toast: hope mine is as good. two benign fibroid cysts removed thus far, and it seems i have another now. i'm going on a totally raw food diet...a friend's lump completely disappeared after doing this diet for only a month. i will still have the biopsy anyway, but it can't hurt to do the cleanse.
congratulations again on your great news :bounce:

15. Those who do that kind of work have seen tumors shrink with
the use of enyzmes.

20. Let me know if this works, noiretblue. Like you, I've had two removed
both benign. I am diabetic, so any diet has to be under strict supervision, but I would love not to endure that worry again.

Thanks.

21. Hooray--I'm celebrating for you!
I've had two lumpectomies, both benign, but everytime my mammos turn out well I feel like a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

23. Thanks so much!!!! Especially after having a surgery
you always feel little nerve endings or something annoying in that area which makes your mind want to believe the worst. Test results at least can appease the paranoia.
