Here is my story:
8/15 - Had a random mammogram. Didn't do one since 2016
8/17 - They called me to come back for another mammogram and ultrasound
8/23 - A second mammogram was performed + ultrasound. The radiologist told me that I have three masses in my left breast, one is cancerous.
8/24 - Start plant based diet 90% + fish ( sardines, trout and wild salmon) + juice fasting + water fasting + a lot of prayers
9/7 - Had a biopsy at Mount Sinai hospital
9/9 - Received the report that said: two cancerous masses in my left breast: Ductal Carcinoma in Situ, invasive, Her2 - negative, ER - positive, PR - positive, Stage 1, Grade 2/3
9/21 - Met with the surgeon Dr. Elisa Port from Mount Sinai
10/13 - Met with Dr. Alexandra Heerdt from Sloan Kettering
10/27 - Met with Dr. Chang - alternative
10/28 - Met with Dr. Wong - alternative
10/28 - Met with Plastic Surgeon Dr. Matros
10/28 - Start with blue scorpion venom from Dr. Chang
10/29 - Received my medical card to buy the RS cannabis oils, vapors and edibles
10/30 - Start Chinese herbal tea from Dr. Wong
11/14 - Unilateral mastectomy on my left with Breast Surgeon Alexandra Heerdt and aesthetic flat with Plastic Surgeon Matros
11/21 - Received the news from the pathology that my 6 sentinel nodes are negative. My tumors shrunk from 2.6 cm to 1.6 cm and 1.0 cm to 0.9 cm. My alternative treatments worked really well.
11/22 - Follow up with Dr. Heerdt and Dr. Matros's nurse
11/29 - Follow up with Dr. Matros

Thanks for such detailed timeline. I also started daily water fasting since read a book about it. I fast 16 hours from evening to the next morning and then eat a lot in 8 hours window but mostly just turkey and vegetables and egg and fruits. I have not tried green juices yet. I’m in Chicago suburb, not much luck to find Chinese alternatives. I like to practice QiGong and Tai Chi if possible.

It’s very easy to do night-morning 14 hours fasting. I don’t even feel hungry. You can drink black coffee during this time. Did you drink green juices when conduct longer than 16 hours fasting?

I do night morning fasting 14 - 16 hours. Just did 60 hours water fasting. I don't drink coffee, just water since August 2022 and sometimes green tea.

I can’t imagine how one can fast for 60 hours. But it’s good for you to get rid of toxins! I’ll try to fast 24 hours after my chemo therapy complete.

Hi, did your oncologist explain why chemo and radiation was not recommended? I had a 1.4cm removed, grade 3, 0 nodes, onco score 16 as well. My oncologist straight up said chemo is needed.
