Peach Compounds Slow Breast Cancer Growth by 53% in Vivo: A new study has just shown that polyphenols from peaches (Rich Lady variety) slowed the growth of aggressive, metastatic breast cancer in mice by 53% after 25 days. The natural peach compounds also potently decreased a key marker of cancer metastasis, thus showing great potential to stop the breast cancer from spreading. But what is most fa...scinating about this study is that the dosage that achieved this effect was small - equivalent to an adult woman eating just 2-3 peaches daily. Do peaches have a benefit for women in the real world? Yes. The Nurse’s Health Study on over 75,000 women recently found that women eating at least two servings of peaches or nectarines weekly had 41% less risk of ER- breast cancer. The researchers in both these studies considered that the chlorogenic acid found in peaches was one of the key anticancer compounds which produced the observed benefits (peaches that go brown the quickest and darkest have the most chlorogenic acid). As a side-benefit, chlorogenic acid has been shown to help with weight loss in some studies. As always, a varied diet rich in organic vegetables, fruit and whole foods is the foundation of good health. But as the latest research uncovers new superfoods against cancer, it may be a good idea to add them to our regular diets for that extra level of protection.

Sadie, thank you for that link! I have a grocery trip scheduled for today to pick up fruit and will pick up some peaches. There is another lady on the UK forums that speaks highly of apricot seeds. I believe they also contain polyphenolics. FYI: peaches are on the EWG's (Environmental Working Group) dirty dozen list, so wash very well or buy organic. Also, a natural way to clean veggies and fruits is by using a solution of apple cider vinegar and water.

This reminds me of an article I read a couple of years ago about blueberries being a triple threat against triple negative breast cancer, and it was one of the reasons I started adding it to my daily kale drink. Here is one site that talks about the information and a video clip with the researchers discussing it : http://www.wildblueberryhealthblog.com/2011/09/ne.. .

Back home. Feeling positive. Doctor came by during test. Said should have info tomorrow. I told him I looking for arthritis. He said he would try his best.
Fierce, praying for you & was thinking about you today too!!
Debra, congrats on your results.
I have iPhone 5s. Have had iPhones since they came out. I have never had a problem. I always get the largest gegabyte model (currently 64) as I put music & pictures on it. During test I had music playing to relax me. It does help. I had meditation tones playing.
Thank you Stupidboob for the continuing support today. You are a GEM.
Cocker I love your photos (both) I have know those bad weeks. Hope next week is better.
Thank you all for being in my pocket. I thought about us all & our support for each other during the testing. It makes it easier to know we ban together in support & prayers.
May today be the start of good days for us all!!

Ally,
So far, I am happy with my reconstruction. I couldn't go very large since drs. wanted rads to start not too long after BMX, ie the expansions had to happen over a limited number of weeks. But I didn't want to go big anyway.
I haven't had any complications. My exchange was late last November. The ps said capsular contracture (sp) is possible at any time, even years later, but is less likely with the third generation implants that are used today.

Whoo hoo Inspired! Dancing that your annual was NED.
Sadie - thanks for the peach info. I love peaches and have a peach tree that I planted a couple of years ago (when it was tiny). It is now about 6 foot and has 2 peaches on it! Hopefully, it will continue to give more each year.

You all are very welcome............I will be adding peaches too.
Marsha always my dear....................always.Catwhispurr two is a start...........:)
I have some peach trees in my yard too but they don't produce very nice tasting fruit. I used to just eat them bitter but after chemo, bitter is real bitter. 0 -
Marsha, I like how you told the doctor you are aiming for arthritis and how he said he would try his best.
I just logged on to see if you had an update yet, will be keeping an eye out for your update tomorrow.Regarding implants - to limit encapsulation I was told to (every day) do this exercise for 15 seconds each direction. Move your implant North and hold for 15 seconds, East and hold for 15 seconds, West and hold for 15 seconds, South and hold for 15 seconds. You can go in any direction you want, as long as you move it all 4 directions and hold for 15 seconds each.

Inspired- great news on NED!
Marsha- prayers are being said for you!
I just finished #11/25 rads today, can't wait for it to be over. We have a long weekend getaway planned when I am finished! Can't wait!

how long after chemo does taste return to normal. Pepper is an issue for me since chemo. Even small amounts are too hot. We normally use some spice to our foods so I am wondering.

Tekwriter, I noticed my tastebuds starting to come back to normal at about two weeks pfc. I finished chemo Jan 14, 2014 and as far as I can tell everything is back to normal with my tastebuds. I have a leftover adversion to one food and to the smell of coconut oil when cooling, but I think those two things are more associated to the nausuea I had to those two things during chemo. I've never been big for spicy hot foods though.

Fierceblue and Marsha - I am a little late to the game - hopping in your pockets as well - thinking and praying everything is great.
Inspired that is great news - my docs won't give me any type scans - it's a wait and see but they are optimistic that I will be fine
Cocker keep those pictures coming - they are hysterical and make my day
Everyone else please know your all in my thoughts and prayers and you will get through this

News!!!!
Results back. Bad arthritis & degenerative bone disease in all joints & spine (especially low back).
MO told me the symptoms are very similar & was glad I checked. If pain becomes hard to manage go to Primary & get meds for pain. May want to see him for meds for degenerative. But I can't take them. As usual I get violently I'll with them (allergies again) I am on cloud nine so to speak. Don't know of another group of people that would wish for arthritis. We would any day!!Thank you all for being with me. It truly is comforting knowing others understand.
Today is one of my Bestess Days!!
Marsha
Ok fierce how you??

Marsha, yippee, yea, great news! Arthritis...oh yea we will take that!

Marsha,
Glad to hear you got the result you wanted.
Arthritis is certainly no picnic and will be a burden especially if you can't take the pain meds but I know it is the lesser of two evils for you. I hope that it will be easy on you, not get any worse and that you will find some natural remedies which you can tolerate.

Marsha, I never thought I would be congratulating someone on arthritis, but obviously I'm smiling ear to ear for you, and for your wonderful news that this was not the other thing! So happy you also got the results before the weekend and didn't have to wait any additional days.
Also, SlyviaExMouthUK who is very active on the TN UK Forum had her annual checkup today and all was great with her appointment. She is approaching 9 years!
It's a nice day to celebrate these victories!

Fiercebluebird, thinking of you....we are still in your pocket.
Marsha, hooray for the arthritis! It's amazing how the big C changes our perspective on things.
Hope everyone has a good weekend. I'm happy to be getting a two day break from rads. Today was day #24 of 33 for me. So far...so good!

Marsha, congrats on the good news. Happy dance for arthritis!
I'm still in a holding pattern for now. More tests next week. sigh...
Got a phone call for a clinical trial for a phase I drug that doesn't even have a name yet. (They call them license plate drugs) But not interested in being one of the first few to determine dosage of an unproven drug.

simple - I remember those weekends off from radiation - it was so nice to have a break. You are definitely on the countdown now - glad itis all going so well for you!

The question IS ......why do so many of us get arthritis going through this????????? I had one onc tell me she thinks it's from cytoxan/taxotere combo. Are there studies out there? I was diagnosed with it at 47 and know I did not have arthritis before treatment.

hurray for arthritis marsha( looking forward..)!!! yes, its really strange to be celebrating this.
jramick: chemo does tremendous damage... i am pretty sure 50 years down the line chemo/rads will be used only for extreme situations. Till then chemo will continue damaging the heart, bone marrow etc..rads will continue exposing patients to unnecessary radiation related risks etc.
fierce..pls keep us updated. Praying for you
cat: how are u girl!!
ally: ki67 will be in your core biopsy report and SUV will be in your Pet scan reports. Its ok, if u cant get them..they anyway just help to speak more about the nature of the tumor..treatment remains the same.
cocker: thanks for those pictures...keep sharing more
hugs to all of you.... love u all!
