Guest guest Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 3 months ago I had a mamogram and ultrasound that said I had a 1 inch breast tumor. I didnt let them do a biopsy until 2 weeks ago. The tumor is still the same size and no mets according to a bone scan. The doctor says I have 2 choices masectomy or chemo to reduce tumor and then maybe a lumpectomy. I said the tumor is the same size right and he said yes but it has calcification around it. Does anyone know what that means? I have changed my diet for 3 months and been on budwig for 2. What does everyone think. I think? I think I should wait a while. Thanks, Robyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Robyn, I can't tell you what to do, but I hope you are taking oleander in some form along with IP6. The calcification around the tumor is a good thing in my may of thinking... the body is encapsulating the tumor which can't be a bad thing. It may not spread from there... you need to attack it with more than diet IMO. Let your body's immune system destroy the tumor naturally with oleander and IP6. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I m no doctor, but I can see no reason to rush into surgery if there has been no tumor growth. Sometimes arresting the tumor and having it eventually turn into a benign mass is not a bad outcome. My own uncle, who took oleander when radiation failed and he refused more intense radiation or chemo, still has a lesion at the site of his original tumor - but it is benign and essentially scar tissue. Doctors know three things: cut out, burn out or poison out the symptoms of cancer. That is what they have been taught, that is what is profitable and that is what they recommend and do. If it were me, I would be in no rush to change my natural approach unless there were signs of the tumor growing and spreading. Hopefully you are following as much of the anti-cancer protocol as possible. oleander soup , robyn howell <robynehowell wrote: > > 3 months ago I had a mamogram and ultrasound that said I had a 1 inch breast tumor.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 In another health group where i belong, calcification around the tumor meant the tumor is slowly dying. Go do more research on this to confirm. Melly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
