I only took Arimidix for 3 months. Side effects started about 4 weeks after I started. And increased to the point that I had no quality of life. I was iffy about starting it in the first place. Most of my symptoms went away except for the worsening of neuropathy. EO is Essential Oils. There are several recommended for breast cancer. Google EO for breast cancer. I rub a few drops of 2 kinds into both breast and massage for several minutes. I change the two kinds every 3 days.My scars are barely noticeable. My plant based diet is just that.. I eat most everything plant based. Like almond milk instead of dairy milk. I gave up dairy, gluten, caffeine, processed foods, fried foods, sugar …but organic everything . I only eat beef 2 a month and then it’s organic grass fed beef. Chicken maybe once a week. Organic and free range.
