@chopin51 thank you thank you thank you! Wonderful information and resources that I will definitely be using. I was posed the question, "what is the rush?" What a great question...and you reminded me that I do have time. While I will not wait too long, I will do my diligence and continue to advocate for myself. ❤️
I was so scared to get a bi lateral mastectomy, I just knew I couldn't do it. But, I did! And so can you! You will be ok. Does it suck? Absolutely! But you have already survived so much! I am 9 days out and I am doing very well. My surgeons gave me a 3 day nerve blocker, thankfully. The pain has been manageable for me. The drains...dreaded drains.. are uncomfortable and annoying - But still very manageable. I hope and pray that everything will go well for you and i too would love to know how much the tumor has shrunk. You got this! Stay strong. And, thank you, again ❤️🦋

Thanks for your kind reply. I’m glad you find this helpful…I wish I’d known this information 5 months ago. 🙂
Part of me wants to see if I can kill this tumor withOUT surgery, just with this protocol alone…..but I don’t know if I can do it. I don’t know if there’s any other way to determine if I’ve achieved NED (No Evidence of Disease) without surgery to get a pathology report. I intend to ask this question of my oncologist at our next appointment.
If I do go ahead with surgery, it will only need to be SMX….with a lift/reduction to the non-cancerous breast. Best wishes to you! There definitely ARE alternatives to chemo and radiation (which I will NOT be doing, either.)
