Yes. I try not to judge, but keep wondering why one of them who I knew refused the surgery. She said that mastectomy is brutal. Lumpectomy wasn't offered. Two children, 12 and 10, are without their mom. I understand refusing chemotherapy, radiation or hormonal treatment, but the cancer needs to be removed.

I did alternative treatments till my surgery for about 2 months and my tumors shrunk. One from 2.6 cm to 1.6 cm. The other one less. Still taking my Chinese herbs tea, not eating after 5 pm, mostly plant based die. I would like to go back to blue scorpion venom, but one bottle is about $700 and not covered by insurance.
