For Cancer Survivability, Alternative Medicine Is The Same As Doing Nothing A new analysis using 2,000,000 women in the National Cancer Database diagnosed with breast cancer from 2011-2021 found that not only do alternatives to medicine not improve anything, they are as bad as doing nothing at all.
I’m curious if anyone here has tried any of these. I’ve read some success stories but would love to hear firsthand experiences. It seems like the medical community has been hesitant to share much information about how these options might benefit people with cancer, whether it’s breast, colon, or other types.…
Hi everyone, My post won't be too popular but I'm entitled to feel the way I do--to fight cancer or not. Im 50 and recently dx with IDC.

Hello girls, I have been on Tamoxifen for 2 years and was wondering does it make you age? For the past few months when I look in the mirror I say "what happened to my face!"?

I was born and raised a…

Organic plant-based diet? No sugar/dairy? Quality supplements? Do you see a Functional Doctor for guidance? Do you get regular bloodwork work…
Hello I just wonder if anyone from you is or was on a carnivore diet before, during or after the breast cancer diagnosis. I would like to hear from you. Ata
