laurapix again, after reading other women's experiences I want to add this. I did not choose to do chemo. my adopted mother died from metastasized breast carcinoma, inoperable, they found it too late. I think the chemo she got was very painful and had almost as much to do with her death as the cancer. I don't have any one to take care of me . I did 8 weeks of radiation, looked like a tomato, couldn't drive the last 3 weeks and two more. my oncologist had me try every hormone blocker, 5 and I just couldn't tolerate them. My p c tested my hormone levels and I'm below the charts. 78 yrs old, past menopause. my dr. s both an m.d. and naturopath. I'm taking DIM to block hormone and
calcium glutamate to get estrogen out of my system, so far its working.
