What helped you make treatment decisions following DCIS lumpectomy?

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.

Thank you
Hard to believe that EO will reduce cancer, as it is proclaimed ) but it wouldn’t hurt to try. Which one though?
I wander how can we to figure out if hormonal therapy is working ?
Why the oncologist refusing to to Oncotype DX, if I don’t do chemo and radiotherapy ? Many grey areas!!?

I use essential oils for a lot of things, can you tell me what ones you are using? I tried a few for neuropathy, they haven’t really helped that much but they smell nice anyway. I use ginger and jasmine for nausea. I eat very little meat, maybe a couple times per month, like you I eat a lot of plant based foods, but I could never give up my coffee. Lol. I do take traditional medicine, I also believe in the overall benefit of a healthy life. I am not a rigid kind of eater, I don’t have hard and fast rules but I think about health, quality and balance. I don’t want to live forever, but retirement age might be nice. Hahaha. I notice you did not take radiation, are you still following up with your doctor?
