Yes, if only there was a scan .... Currently, there is none. Blood tests for cancer markers are not reliable and the Cancer Tumor DNA test is not 100% either. I read that 30% of BC patients will have a metastasis due to the body having resistance to the AI and Tamoxifen. Terrible odds. We can only do so much - I have cut out alcohol, most sugars, eating lots of broccoli, kale and supplements. On Exemestane.

Hi Rubyslippers!
My diet is like yours. I diet consists of vegetables, grains and seeds and legumes.
I workout with weights to gain muscles 2 days on weekly basis. I am planning to walk 15 to 20 minutes daily. Hopefully I can commit to this. I research daily in hopes to find any new medicines, vaccines or clinical trials. I found out cancer cells can start to mutate as early as 2 years into taking inhibitors and/or hormonal therapies. After two years, be diligent. Do self check and don't ignore pain related to bones and bumps. Always ask for ultrasound over mammogram. I only do ultrasound because it shows more. I heard a blood scan for cancer cell residual is in the works. Which is a good news but the price is very expensive. It needs to be FDA approved so health insurance can cover most of the cost. Until then, do whatever you can to keep yourself healthy. Btw, I'm planning to buy a mini treadmill. This way I can exercise while watching TV heehee. Keepnin touch. If I find any information that can help us, I'll share it. Take good care.
