Hi,
I also declined the radiation and aromatase inhibitors because I did not want the intense side effects to ruin my quality of life. My family was upset at first, but they know it was my choice. I did not want to do nothing, so I found a really good Naturopath and I am doing many natural treatments. One of them is taking the Artemisinin pills - one per day - which you can order on Amazon for $27.00 a bottle. There is Artemisinin that can be administered by intravenous, but it is not allowed in the province where I live. I am also doing Mistletoe injections which I give to myself - 2 to 3 time per week. I know these are allowed in the US if that is where you live. I am taking many other Homeopathic supplements as well as trying to follow a vegan/ vegetarian diet (about 75 to 80% of the time lol!!). I did have a partial mastectomy last February. When I told the surgeon in June that I had decided not to do the radiation and hormone therapies, she said I would likely not have a recurrence anyway. I am 72 years old,
and I want to have the best quality of life for the time I have left. This is a very personal decision, so each person must do what they really believe will work for them. I read a few books on preventing cancer the natural way. One was "Chris Beat Cancer' and another was "Keep Your Breasts". Somewhere I read that a big part in having a treatment work was believing in it. So, if you believe in the mastectomy/radiation/chemotherapy/hormone treatments, then that is what you should do. If you believe in the natural treatments, then that is what you should do. It is your body and your life that has to be lived, so you need to follow your heart. Good luck in whatever choice you make.
