Hi Wp23... Wendy.. I am certainly feeling a lot better than I assumed I would after snb and mx...which is all good...ty hun...wait for node results next week but fingers crossed it all goes well.... But prepared mentally for next step which is always a bonus.. I would be interested if folks could also post any foods and diets they have come across or using to help there fight.. Perhaps creating a list of food to help others would be of benefit to other fighters.I did read a few listed by BROWNRABBIT.. But there are lots more.. Which when I get home on Friday I will post my list..xxx ... View more

Since starting this thread.. Reading and reading the books it does make a lot of since.. I have changed my eating habits which before contained a lot of junk foods or convenient foods.. Fruits.. Veg.. All foods recommended in the booms and I actually feel a whole lot better in myself as well as drinking the complain shakes you can by for added vitamins and minerals.. Still more to change slow but steady... What harm can it do and as a bonus it does make you feel u have a little more control over this nasty disease.. Any more info from to!ks is always appreciated.. I had my MX about 5 days ago now as was diagnosed with IDC stage 1 and was 12mm in size end of may this year.. But due to there being a benine tumour sat next to it and only have small boobs..I opted to have the whole boob removed.. Margins would def b in reach too... and I feel really well concidering... Still waiting for node results too.. But over all feel healthy and ready for the next hurdle xxx ... View more
