I agree with suggestion to get second opinion, just yesterday there was thing in news about lots of people being intentionally misdiagnosed to make profit on chemo. Also many honest mistake. The survival rate for breast cancer is amazingly high now unless last stage, was far worse decades ago

Prayers.

O great St. Peregrine, you have been called “The Mighty,” “The Wonder-Worker,” because of the numerous miracles which you have obtained from God for those who have had recourse to you. For so many years you bore in your own flesh this cancerous disease that destroys the very fibre of our being, and who had recourse to the source of all grace when the power of man could do no more. You were favored with the vision of Jesus coming down from His Cross to heal your affliction. Ask of God and Our Lady, the cure of your wife and all those bravely battling cancer my fellow Lyon Glen and another friend Pat whom we entrust to you. Aided in this way by your powerful intercession, we shall sing to God, now and for all eternity, a song of gratitude for His great goodness and mercy. Amen. In loving memory of my pal Dennis(Doc) O’Connell may he rest in peace and may God bless and protect all of his Storming Heaven prayer warriors.

I read there are studies that cbd oil fights breast cancer. Even metastasized.

My wife had a lumpectomy five years ago. Her surgeon assured her he got it all, and the associated lymph node was clear. He didn’t mention it was likely cancer cells had broken off and were traveling throughout her body.

So, she decided to forego radiation and estrogen blocker. Big mistake. Now we find she is late stage 4. An MRI shows it’s attacked her spine and hips. We are awaiting results of her PET scan. She’s in bed on morphine tablets.

The radiation treatment people scared the crap out of her, saying they were going to light her up pretty good, half hour a day, five days a week, for six weeks. They said her breast would be burned like a sunburn. They didn’t mention it was only temporary or she might have went for it. She rejected the hormone blocker because we read it makes your bones thin. She is always afraid of falling, so thin bones were out.

DO NOT take the chance and bypass this treatment.

Thank you for your experiential post. Some of the 'advice' I've read here amounts brainless, even malevolent quackery.

Prayers up for her and her family.

My take is that thyroid removal can reduce metabolism a more natural way than chemo destroying high metabolic cells of cancer

[WASCWatch]

Sloan Kettering in New York is one of the two top cancer centers in the world. I’d go there if your insurance covers it and it is stage 3 or 4.

Lest than that, a regional cancer center might be a good choice, she’d be going to Sloan Kettering.

Actually, my wife would be going to MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas.

Please don’t delay because you have lots of things lined up. Take care of her breast cancer as soon as possible. Nothing is more important, as I am sure her doc will tell you.

Keep your spirits up and a stiff upper lip. My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer too back December. She opted for a mastectomy and began Chemo in March. She’s had six chemo treatments so far and still has two more to go. My prayers reach out to you and your wife. Hang in there and support her.

Prayers for you and your wife in successfully dealing with this situation.

So sorry to hear this. Prayers up.

I had an ultrasound, a biopsy, and surgery within 2 weeks. When I finally went in to see the oncologist he said he had never heard of anyone doing that before but was glad I did. I had stage 2 Her-2 breast cancer. The most aggressive kind of breast cancer there is.
The moral is.....don’t screw around with it for months! Get it done. My impatience may have saved my life.
Good luck!

Breast cancer is due to iodine deficiency and tied to thyroid issues

Don’t spread that crap. There are different types of breast cancer caused by different things.

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Prayers up !
All things are possible, through Christ
