Dear Amber,
I just signed up for this site. I am a male and have not had cancer. I was, however, one of the last general practitioners trained in the '70's and saw 250,000 patient visits. The last three years of my practice I decided that most of medicine (medical practice) was superficial and that docs, including I, did not know the cause of 98% of diseases that we treated and that all treatments (except suturing for lacerations, casts for breaks or sprains, and antibiotics for a certain infection) were disease altering and not disease curing. NSAIDS, steroids, chemotherapeutic drugs, hypertensive drugs, artery dialators, etc. were all disease altering and not disease curing.
All surgery is disease altering: even gall bladder removals and cardiac by-pass surgery is disease altering since surgeons rarely, or never, ask why the gall bladder became inflammed in the first place or why the coronary arteries became plugged in the first place.
No one knew why people had nerve pain, either, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, etc. After many years I realized that most people who had developed cancer also had had painful neuropathies or mild ones such as tingling in the fingers or feet. Many had sciatica. I learned that spinal surgery for herniated spinal discs did not help people with nerve pain often in a reasonable time after surgery so I decided that spinal surgery was rarely appropriate.
I conducted a clinical investigation in order to try to find out the cause of neurological pain and eventually figured it out. I attracted 700 miserable painful patients and 70 of them had had or developed cancer while I was seeing them. I realized that the same underlying problem that caused the nerve pain or numbness and tingling of the extremities also caused the cancer. I eventually, I surely think, figured it out.
I am now writing a book on the research I accomplished and one of the subjectsI am writing about is what I truly think is the cause of both painful neuropathies and cancer. So, if you would like to chat and answer some questions it may provide a link to the cause of your cancer and other problems small and/or meaningful. The communication would help me too, and either give me confirmation or no confirmation concerning the concepts I have developed.
Yours, Norsk10

Yesterday my onc asked me if I wanted to do any hormone treatment when I am done with Chemo and I told her I would rather do hormone balancing. Much to my delight she said "ok, I don't know much about it but I will get you to someone who does". I could have kissed her.
The last team I worked with would not even talk to me about this.

Vivre...You will be greatly missed on this site. You, and many others who opened their arms to me have gotten me through this and I can never thank you enough.
I will be joining both your sites, so I will still have the benefit of your willingness to share with and help others...but it is a shame that people like you get "run off" by bad eggs here.
Maybe the newcomers will read back through all your posts and benefit as I have.
Thank you again for all you have done for so many!!!!!:):):):):)

Hi Everyone,
I haven't posted in quite a while, but I've been checking in from time to time and have kept up with this awesome thread, and all of the wonderful women who post here. The past six months have not been the best for my family. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in September--almost one year to the day from my breast cancer diagnosis. Since she was 76 at the time of her diagnosis, I really worried about how she'd handle the surgery and follow-up treatment. She was diagnosed with stage one cancer, and her tumor was about 1.5 cm. She had a lumpectomy and was a candidate for localized radiation treatment, so she went for radiation twice a day for five days. Since I had DCIS and had a bilateral mastectomy, I didn't need follow-up treatment, so I have no first-hand experience with radiation. I do know that even the five-day course was very tiring for my mother. She just went for her six-month check-up last week, and had a mammogram, sonogram, and MRI. Thankfully, she is cancer-free!
My father-in-law was recently diagnosed with colon cancer. Prior to the surgery, his doctors felt pretty confident that the cancer was contained in the colon. Unfortunately, it spread to his liver. He just had sugery to remove the liver spots, and will soon be undergoing a course of chemotherapy. He's at Sloan Kettering, and his doctors have given him a good prognosis, but it's been (and continues to be) very stressful.
In September, I had a lump in my groin area, and decided to show it to my primary care doctor--someone I've been seeing for years, and really trust(ed). She told me it was just a lymph node--not an enlarged lymph node--that had shifted when I shaved my bikini line, and probably wouldn't go away. This did not sound right to me at all, so I said, "Are you sure?". She said she was sure, and that this type of thing happened all the time after shaving the bikini area. Since I've always waxed my bikini line in the past, and had never shaved it, I left thinking it was possible, but not feeling very good about the whole thing. A couple of weeks later, I noticed that not only had this lump not gone away, but it had gotten larger. I was seeing my breast surgeon that day for my check up (it was one year, exactly, from my mastectomy). I asked her if she would look at it. She said she would, and after looking at it, she told me that it wasn't a lymph node. I was so happy to hear that, as I was worried that it was an enlarged lymph node (translation: cancer). Immediately thereafter she said it was a hernia, and told me that I needed to see a surgeon! And, apparently, it was a rare type of groin hernia, in which the intestine is more likely to become trapped and strangulated. My breast surgeon told me not to wait to see a surgeon/have the hernia repaired, as I could end up in the emergency room at any time, needing a bowel-re-section! Within two and a half weeks of that meeting with my breast surgeon, last November, I was in the operating room having the hernia repaired. Thankfully, I am fine--not totally healed, but other people I know who've had surgery to repair a hernia have said they didn't feel like they were fully recovered for a year! I am now numb across my chest (thanks to the mastectomy), and in my groin (I opted for the old fashioned technique where they cut through muscle and nerves to do the repair, as opposed to going with the easier mesh/plug technique, as I didn't want the man-made stuff in my body).
In any case, I wanted to just drop by and say "hi". Also, a while back there was a discussion of DIM and its possible connection to eye issues. At the time, I was taking DIM, and experiencing fuzzy vision, at times. I haven't yet gone back to taking the DIM, but I just wanted to say that I don't think that my vision issues were related to the DIM, but rather, unfortunately, to getting older, and getting closer to the point where I will soon need reading glasses. Is anyone else seeing a connection between taking the DIM and eye issues? I am finally going to get back on my supplement regimen, and will start taking the DIM, again, so I'll see if I notice any eye changes.
Hope all is well with all of you lovely ladies. If someone wouldn't mind sending me a PM with Vivre's website information, I would greatly appreciate it. Have a great night!
Audrey

Dear Natural Girls-thank you all for your kind words of encouragement. If you have joined my site, please sign up for the natural girls group. Namaste(former natural girl) will have to approve you, so let her know who you are. I have a message for you there that I prefer to keep private. I hope you all will keep this thread going. There will lots of newcomers who will need you. I hope you understand my need to move on but I hope you will all stay in touch on the other side. Bless you all.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember being amazed when I started finding out that the list of "good healthy" things to do to prevent cancer recurrence are EXACTLY the very things to naturally boost fertility (iodine and vitamin D, eating organic whole foods, sleeping in complete darkness, getting some sunshine every day, minimizing stress, drinking green tea, etc.) It's crazy - the lists are almost identical.
I noticed a couple of months ago some "symptoms" (that I won't gross you out with!) that my body was becoming more fertile. And wow... here I am. We'll see how things go (with me being 0 for 4, I'd be crazy to think 100% for sure this is finally the time I'll carry my pregnancy to term), but for now, I am so so so so excited!!!

Girls... I jumped the gun... I took another test this morning and the second line and it was fainter than yesterday's... I tested again this afternoon after a long nap and the second line is barely there. That pretty much means it's what doctors call a chemical pregnancy (the baby is conceived and implants but detaches after only a couple of days). I'm sorry.
I hadn't had a positive pregnancy test in nearly two years so I guess I'm glad this means I can at least still conceive. 0 -
Hi Ladies,
