Getting ready to schedule lumpectomy

Postby Cindy.Mimi » Sun Apr 01, 2018 11:20 am

Since Feb 1st I have had a mammogram, ultrasound, Biopsy, MRI, CT scan, and blood work. I have been to a Med oncologist, radiation oncologist and a general surgeon. Surgery seemed to be in my near future to remove my 2B cancerous mass some lymph nodes as it appears one lymph node tested positive in the biopsy. My question is should I stop this surgery course and change to your more nutritional program to be cancer free?
Here are my biopsy findings:
ER estrogen Receptor 96% Strong Intensity Positive
PR Progesterone Receptor 36% Strong Intensity Positive
HER-2 Negative
MIB-1 (Ki-67) 21% High
I will be more than happy to scan my report/test results to share them with you. Or if you have a Doctor in the Orlando, Florida area who I could see I would appreciate the referral.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Cindy

You probably should send private msg directly to Doctor McDougall for this~

If it were me, I would diligently follow this WOE (Way Of Eating). BUT, I would not wait around to see if this woe alone will reverse my cancer. I would call

TrueNorth Health Center

F: 707-303-4377

and interview with Dr. Alan Goldhammer asap.

You might want to read this updated newsletter article.

And then the hot topics.

Dr. McDougall is clear about having a lumpectomy to remove cancerous tissues.

I do believe food is powerful medicine - but it is only a tool and will not unravel years of SAD plus other environmental factors. You are unlikely to discover the cause of your cancer. But you can make changes now that will impact your future.

No doubt about it - it's scary. If you have not found a cancer support group in your area I encourage you to see if there is one in your area.

Best wishes - please report back with how the dietary changes are going plus the ongoing medical.
