    Yesterday really sucked wind!!!!! :( The MRI picked up some lymph activity in the same breast, so they biopsied it. I will know tomorrow whether it is or whether it is not also malignant. My phone was blowing up all the way home and I just wanted to crawl in a hole and cry for a bit. So I cried and didn't answer and stopped to eat with a cousin I haven't seen in a while. And I got up this morning and made myself walk with a couple of neighbors who invited me. I think it just helps to type this out to remind myself I can get back up when I am knocked down. There are many people who wish this was the biggest problem they were dealing with. I am thankful to have the support of this group and my family and friends.

    Thank you.

    CT and Bone scans resulted in no metastasis detected, so I am reasonably assured the cancer is contained in the breast and one lymph node at this time. I will check in from time to time, but am staying off the computer and focused on my well-being.

    Saw the oncologist yesterday for the first time. Will have a bone density test (different than bone scan) next Tuesday. She set a deadline for October 18th to make a decision regarding my treatment. Doing lots of praying, trying to laugh daily and limit communication to the positive minimum as there is a lot of pressure right now to do the expected when nothing is normal about this. Will check in periodically.

    After consulting with my insurance, I rescheduled the bone density test for November 2. The oncologist was wanting to see me today, but I cancelled to reschedule at a later date. Ladies, the tumor is shrinking - with carrot juice and a clean diet. I cannot say that is the reason for the change, but it is the only thing I am doing at this time. I have other friends and family choosing modern treatment and I support their decisions, just as they are supporting mine.

    Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!

    Drinking 8 cups if carrot juice daily. Started additional measures to speed up process. Still at 179 pounds but not counting calories or macros. Where I struggle is getting in greens. The daily process of juicing, consuming requirdd supplements and getting in enough protein is taxing but I realize I am blessed to have the freedom and support to choose alternative treatment. It isn't easy but I believe worth it.

    Bone density was very good. Bone Scan and CT were good. Struggling to get my D3 up in fighting range.

    I turned 47 in June and im falling apart..just got put on a beta blocker for high blood pressure and anxiety..yesterday was horrible..bp ok but the anxiety is causing me to have indegestion and headaches and very emotional..or am I starting menopause? Either way I'm miserable!! And ready for a change and b happy again:/

    Anxiety is not easy....I have problems with anxiety.

    Three things helped lower my blood pressure, which was pre-hypertensive. 1: sleep apnea diagnosed and a CPAP at 10 lbs pressure, 2: cut out processed foods, 3: carrot juicing. My BP is routinely around 116/78. The indigestion went away at the same time. The emotional issues minimized, but didn't resolve until I removed from the underlying causes. First, a job dump. I cried for three months, then relocated and got busy with work totally unrelated. Whatever the underlying issue, I pray you will know the right way to handle it or get the right assistance.
