Stage 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer: Don't know what to expect

@alisa1, I'm glad that you found inspiration and helpful tips from a fellow cancer survivor, Amy Morris. It helps to hear from others who have been there.

For Everyone:
Eating healthy, exercise, not smoking, etc., we all know are good for us. And yes, healthy living can help to reduce our risk of recurrence or getting cancer in the first place. Unfortunately, cancer happens to some people even when we do everything "right".

For this reason, I would like to add some tips on how to evaluate resources. Do your due diligence.

There are red flags for me reviewing Dr. Amy's website and videos.
1. She makes promises that can't be guaranteed. For example, she stated that you can take "exact steps that eliminate side effects and stay cancer free for life"
No on can keep that promise to you. They shouldn't proclaim it as fact. We are all different. No one can guarantee cancer-free for life.

2. She is a doctorate of pharmacy, not an medical physician or oncologist.
I'm the first to tell you that pharmacists are an important member of your health care team. They are knowledgeable, accessible and often helpful, expecially when reviewing medications, possible interactions and counselling how best to take medications.
However on her website, she is not clear about her degree and it is misleading that she calls herself the cancer expert and Dr. Amy.

3. She is selling promises. Often where there is hope, there is hype. Buyer beware before spending your money.

@kevachanel38 - hey there. Thanks for the update. Wanted to encourage you and say hang in there! You’re not alone.

4th Taxol treatment for me today… every Monday, then off to the big 3 together for the last 4 biweekly treatments. So happy to hear another chemo warrior is bringing ginger into there lives… I drink a brew I make all day long. I also make a quinoa and chia seed mush. Look it up… great nutrition. Big problem is iron and potentially anemia… I don’t eat red meat. Sooo, I added a plant protein powder into my smoothie.. we shall see how my iron is today.
I love my rolling cooler… it’s awesome. That and a backpack with my headphones, laptop, iPad and blankey… I’m battling not being a thumb sucker… lol
Be brave, be strong, be beautiful… we are warriors.
