OK - full disclosure here also, I have degree in Biology, summa cum laude, A+ in Biochemistry and A+ in Physiology XP

BUT, I will start with "belief" ! Extremely important factor and proven scientifically to the point of "belief" being part of EVERY single study for any treatment or any medication's effect PERIOD . Every study HAS to have group of people who are told that they are receiving treatment but are not given any - so called placebo group. Why - because when people believe that something might help it has the same effect as if they were given that treatment and it is in statistically significant % . So when we are talking about belief we do not necessarily talk about "talismans" , or religion per se , but ones belief in "something helping". BUT , for some people religious practices also give "belief" effect ( placebo effect). Second, many studies show that patients who have strong support and are with "positive" outlook have better survival rate, and nobody knows why. Third - our body constantly has to deal with defective cells , cells that are cancerous in nature but our immune system attacks them and removes them. It is only when our immune system fails to recognize them in time that those cells continue to grow and proliferate. That is why newest and the MOST promising cancer research is in the area of immunology and hopefully one day we will be able to re-train our immune system to attack specific cancer cells and remove them from our body. Fourth - phenomenon of spontaneous remission exists for any type of cancer, well documented in medical literature but nobody knows how it happens and there is no time or funding to study those rare cases. I had that happen in my family, I do not feel comfortable talking about it though since I do not want to be misunderstood and mislabeled. It is very very very rare event and nobody should count on it or rely on it, even I do not expect it with my husband , even though I witnessed the case firsthand.
Nutrition - very important factor. Obesity is for example one of the mayor "risk factors" for many cancers. Excessive sugar intake is not good and no, not all sugars are alike. It is different when we have carbs via vegetable intake, and different when we have refined sugar intake. What is bad part about "cake" is that it gives our body big serving of simple sugars all at once and we have big sugar spike of sugars that can not be used but are stored as fat and as glycogen reserves in liver and excess causes tremendous oxidative stress and oxidative stress causes mutations, damage to organs, damage to circulatory system, you name it. Some studies showed that man who are on Metformin have lower incidence of PC, BTW. When we eat vegetables , especially veg. like broccoli, lettuce, and other greens, those "sugars" are complex and do not cause spikes ! Vegetables also contain huge amount of antioxidants and fiber that also regulates sugar spikes . So no, not all "sugars" are the same. IMHO there is no reason to NEVER eat the cake, but it should be tiny and occasional peace. Dark chocolate , couple of "squares" a day could even be beneficial due to antioxidants being present. I am working on my hubby now to reduce "cookie" intake, he eats just a few but he should stop doing it every day *sigh. Otherwise we are coming from the region that eats Mediterranean diet, and it was always our diet and red meat was rarely consumed to begin with , beef none since mad cow disease appeared many decades ago. BUT, we did eat a lot of deary products and some new research shows that deary consumption is risk factor for PC *sigh . The thought is that progesterone in cow milk can effect development of breast cancer and PC. So we will reduce consumption of milk products now.
Supplements and vitamins - I am big believer in them, a lot of research showed their effect . I bought this book last week : " How to Prevent and Treat Cancer with Natural Medicine". It is endorsed by Cancer Treatment Centers of America. I am strongly recommending buying it - I will follow all of the advice.

All in all, I plan to "move heaven and earth" to heal my husband, all 3 arsenals for healing will be implemented - medical, complementary and spiritual. So be it 🙂 !!!

Sending healing vibes and hugs to all < 3
