Has anyone tried natural inhibitors like DIM or grape seed extract?

For many of us the mainstream medications work and are not hard to take. I understand the fear and desire to "go natural" but for me, the fear of cancer recurrence or spread was too great to take that chance. I respect others' choices but hope they are not based on a fear of medications that might be a needless fear.

I am on DIM and oncoplex , I was on tamoxifen for 9 mos and got every horrible side effect so Dr took me off of it 10/13 , I still feel horrible !!! A couple of weeks after my final reconstruction, which is next week , she wants to try Arimidex, she was worried about giving me this one to begin with because of the joint pains it causes & she was worried it would affect my career (massage therapist). I for sure don’t want a recurrence but it’s also about quality of life. I couldn’t imagine 4/12 more years of such horror
I am praying my body tolerates arimidex
