It's terrible to hear such diagnoses, and I understand you. I had a similar situation, but I had cervical cancer. I was depressed, didn't want to live, and drowned out my pain with alcohol. I support the opinion that the site https://www.theluckiestclub.com/join-community becomes important to support in such a situation. I don't have a family, and the support group from this site has become my family. I managed to recover and overcome my addiction, and I believe you can do it too. ... View more

Hi Poppy,  I have just stumbled across this forum after googling best ingredients for cancer fighting juice’s, for a close friend who got diagnosed yesterday.  I’ve been juicing for almost 20 years now and I usually do a juice cleanse once a year.  I just wanted to share some of my knowledge in case it helps you or anyone else reading this forum. The best juicers you capillary buy are masticating juicers (slow juicers). This is because when you put your fruit/veg through them you want to retain as much of the Nutrients and vitamins as possible. A masticating juicer does not produce heat because it is slow but some of the cheaper juicers are fast and heat up which burns all the goodness out of the fruit and vegetables. Anyone who has cancer and wants to give themselves the best possible chance may want to invest in the best juicer to maximise health benefits. Any masticating juicer will always be better than a high speed juicer. I’ve had had two masticating juices in the whole 20 years I’ve been juicing and I only got rid of the first because of lost parts in a house move.  They are really durable and long lasting. The best kind of fruit and vegetables you can juice are fresh and not tinned. Tinned fruit have preservatives in them and have often sit in sugar syrup and lost the majority of any micro nutrients.  So far in my journey to find the best fruit and veg a cancer patient can have, I’ve found apples, beetroot, carrots, any green leafy veg, lemons and limes are in most “cancer fighting juices”. I hope this has helped. X ... View more

Hi Pat I did read it, tho I’m not sure 1.30 in the morning was the wisest time to read about recurrence. Some Haven EFT today has helped put me back on the straight and narrow! She is amazing, isn’t she. Her brutal honesty and her humility, being able to admit that she thought she knew best but didn’t, is powerful stuff. I actually signed up for her blog site so I could leave a comment about her blog, the only time I’ve ever wanted to. I’m planning to ask my oncologist if he’s aware of the article and the points she raises (if he lets me get a word in edgeways). I’ll follow your second link in the daytime (it’s 1.10 now, thank you anastrozole) as I suspect it may be rather emotional for me. Thanks for providing it x ... View more

Hi!  I am a 10 year BC survivor and went through a double mastectomy, chemo, radiation, and 6 surgeries.  Over the years I have battled numerous short and long term side effects, anxiety and the emotional impact of worrying about a recurrence, and have spent long hours doing research and addressing my physical and mental health to be as healthy as I can be.  I offer breast health coaching for anyone interested in working on topics such as; diet & nutrition, vitamins & supplements, movement & exercise, detox, sleep optimization, hormones, and more.  I also offer a Free monthly on line meeting where I address different topics related to breast health and a Free one on one 30 minute discovery call for anyone interested in learning more about my coaching services.  www.BreastHealthCoach.com ...

I am 10 years out from chemo and my nails still have lines/ridges in them.  Occasionally a toe nail or finger nail will lift from the nail bed too.  I take a lot of supplements which have made my nails stronger than they were before cancer treatments (they use to be paper thin) but the ridges and lifting unfortunately remain an ongoing issue. ...
