What helped you make treatment decisions following DCIS lumpectomy?

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?

These are the EOs I use to massage into both breast. I use 2 at a time and rotate them. They are Lemon, Pine, Clove,Orange,Rosemary,Sandalwood,Black Pepper, Chamomile, Copaiba,Frankincense and Lemongrass. I have a breast cancer coach and these are the ones she recommended for me.
I fired my oncologist. Lol. She insisted that I be put on “high risk” since I refused radiation and quit Arimidix and wouldn’t try another. She told me I would need a mammogram every 3 months. Told her I wasn’t doing that either and walked out. Went back to my DO and she agreed to set up any testing that I will need. My breast cancer coach advises me on everything, I talk it over with my dr and go from there. I’m doing great! Except I have terrible neuropathy! I find that peppermint EO helps the neuropathy pain . I make transdermal magnesium lotion and add peppermint EO to it.
