Breast Cancer Now Forum

Hiya Mrstimps sorry just seen your post now. I use Frankinsence alongside Myhrr in organic jojoba oil as the carrier. You use five drops of essential oils to every 10 ml of carrier oil.  You must get the Frankinsence known as Boswellia Sacra cos that is the one proven to be effective against breast cancer cells. Unfortunately it is more expensive than the normal sort. I then rub it in where my cancer is as well as on my throat and neck before bedtime because it is also meant to be good to inhale it. Xx congratulations Janette brilliant news. X ... View more

Dear Louboo I was told about my eligibility for PIPS via my hospice nurse. They filled in the application and sent it off. I think I had to pass the form onto my GP at some point or at least part of it, can't quite remember, chemo brain ha ha. I'm pretty mobile so thought I would just get the lower rate but I got the full rate which was such a help financially after having taken a reduced early retirement pension.  ... View more

Hi Jeannie  I took early retirement but was 10 years older than you when I took it. As a midwife you're in an extremely pressurised job which is totally hands on. Is there another part-time job that you could do that would  use your skills but not be quite so demanding? Might be worth asking OH about re- training? Good advice about PIPs as it does come through quickly and without assessment.  Take care Babsy  ... View more

Hi Arty girl and Dionne, Diagnosis is always such a shock! I was dx with bc in 2006 and then with extensive bone mets skull, spine, pelvis, ribs, and invasion of bone marrow, suspicious lymph nodes node and nodes in lungs.  At my last bone scan my mets had greatly reduced but I'm just building up to my next scan in September. So there is hope and if you look back on the thread I've posted in detail the steps that I personally took.  Babsy    ... View more

Hi JulieD, I agree I'm not a huge veggie fan and like you I bought a nutribullet and I just bung loads of quality veg in there with a couple of extra nutrients, that way I know I get my fix. I use organic beetroot juice as the liquid which is sweet so mainly drowns the taste of kale etc.  Mind you, I can now tolerate a lot more than I could when I started and actually enjoy it now.  The fruit one has always been easy from the start.   THere's a good nutrition website with lots of facts and links to medical research called, www.nutritionfacts.org. Dr Gregor runs it as a charity. ... View more

Hi Marirose, it's a good book and inspiring. I still have my treats, drink a glass or two of sparkling wine on special family occasions, had roast lamb at a pub dinner etc. So I don't deny myself as such. Also if Hubby is eating something that I fancy I will have a bite and that satisfies that. It's about what you mainly do on a everyday basis and not on the odd occasion. With goodies it is so easy to make biscuits, brownies, etc etc without dairy, refined sugar. Great book for ideas for this is " Deliciously Ella" by Ella Woodward, even my husband keeps nicking stuff. Also lots of other stuff to buy out there. Can eat 70-80% chocolate and you can cook with cocoa.  So actually don't feel that I'm denying myself, and my tastes buds have changed even at 58!!  Not quite sure how to start a new thread and include all of the info already written and I presume you need to be invited onto private board? ...

Hi Sharon, Frankincense causes the apopetic death of cancer cells. They naturally don't die like normal cells so you have to find ways to switch this on. It is also anti-inflammatory and one of the ways that cancer spreads and grows throughout the body is by creating inflammation. Also Myhrr balances hormones in the body and supports liver function thereby reducing inflammation. I use an organic carrier oil adding 5 drops of each in 10mls of carrier oil. Rub in at night into areas that still have bone mets and also round my neck so that you inhale oils throughout the night. A recent British medical study has shown the effectiveness of borallis sacra ( unfortunately the dearer form of frankincense )  against breast cancer cells, you can google it.   ... View more

Hi Scratch. Do you have other treatments for your bone mets? I'm having monthly Denosumab injections and then daily Adcal with Vit d tablets. So does your Onc recommend glucosamine on top of these other treatments?  ... View more

Hi Marion I too found it hard at first and kept on searching for something to help me. I have to listen to something to keep me on track. I downloaded a free meditation app Omvana, and from that I use the " meditation sound, dark night" I listen to it with headphones on so the sound resonates and I feel it as well as hear it. I listen to this in bed at night much to my husband's annoyance. I chant in my head "shrivel and die" and I now feel a lot of heat in the areas that I am concentrating on. I asked my Onc to show me the pictures of my scan so I know where to focus specifically. I then follow this up with a  you tube video which I found via Google which is called 528 HZ Miracle Tone, harmonic Fibonacci spiral pulsing at the rate of Pi, having read about it in a couple of books. That one I use as a healing sound, again I let the pulsing sound travel through me. I found out what red blood cells look like and imagined them pouring out of my bone marrow, which not only was cancer ridden but had also been damaged in chemo.  I now do the same with Natural Killer cells which are the things that can kill cancer cells, they pierce the cell. I read the other day that someone calls them the hugging cells as they surround the cancer cells and hug them until they burst. It's just finding something that you can latch onto. Some people recommend saying a chosen mantra whilst visualising. I tried lots of things before settling onto what I do. I still find that sometimes I fall asleep ha ha or just can't get into it and just think i'll do it properly tomorrow and don't beat myself up.  Just remembered I also downloaded Hay house on my podcast app and they do loads of meditations on there to follow for free. Some are a bit American but there are some that are really good. Again if you work your way through you'll get to know the ones that work for you. There was one that I did that always made me cry, and that was such a good release for pent up emotions and fears .  ... View more

My pleasure. I say the lack of support that I experienced from my medical team spurred me on as well as a visit from the local hospice nurse ha ha. But then that's me always wanting to prove people wrong if they say I can't 😜!  ... View more
