I was doing everything that you mentioned. Eating meals made from scratch I grew up in a farm in a different country in where we did not use chemicals. Organic was all we knew. I came to this country and try to eat as close as I did back home. I worked out 5 to 6 times per week weights etc. I think environmental has a huge part and not too many people talks about this. Also life style such as stress. I was doing everything that I though I needed to do to be healthy prior to being diagnosed with breast cancer. I have never smoke. I drank maybe once or twice per year. In my case I was diagnosed 1A no lymphnodes involved. Did Lumpectomy, radiation and the hormone therapy with ovarian suppression. The medications have not given me too much of a side effects. Very little side effects and I think it had to do with the life style I had before I started them. I just started one month ago and so far so good. Remember each story is different and each body is different. You might or might not have side effects

Meeshodge- I am very worried that you are not doing anything about your diagnosis, except lifestyle changes. My opinion is that once this starts, you cannot eat your way out of it. Your program may help to prevent it from starting, but cannot cure it. Hope you will have it treated and continue with what you are doing to prevent it from returning.

I'm going to strongly agree with drummergirl. Healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle can reduce your chances of developing cancer BUT once it's there, it's there. It's not going away (or even slow) without more traditional treatment.
