The big question is: how many of us are willing to go on very healthy diet without sugar, oils, salt, no processed food, yoga, meditation, hiking, walking etc. It's not easy. I eat mostly plant based, but I eat some fish, seafood, eggs, avocado oil and salt. Hopefully I can eliminate more of those foods from my diet. One thing that I changed is fasting from 5:00 pm to 9:00 am. It's important to give your body 16 hours of no food, just water. Sometimes I eat a fruit.

I commend you on your very healthy eating habits. That said even that did not prevent you from having breast cancer. Other things in the environment and in our bodies can impact our health. If your BC profile is estrogen + it may be beneficial for you to consider minimizing the estrogen in your body. Many women do not have negative side effects but if they do find it intolerable one can stop … it’s a daily pill not a long term infusion.
Some people “blindly follow “ western medicine recommendations but I am not one of them . I have researched this throughly. That said, there are many who “ blindly follow” alternative remedies such as supplements and certain diets.
For me, your dream is in fruition. Exhaustive Research has proven the benefit for Estrogen reduction for Estrogen positive BC and highly trained nutritionalists have forged a path for best eating practices for BC prevention and health in general. I’m hoping that BOTH will reduce any chance of recurrence.
I pass no judgment on your choices and I wish you well.
