Sorry to have caused any confusion or anxiety in my last post.To try to clarify, I have a relatively rare form of BC which is hormone negative and HER2+ which means it can't be treated with hormones but only with herceptin.Most people CAN be treated with hormones which is good.
It is my consultant who keeps on harping on about diet.To be fair he doesn't say vegan but he does say limit dairy ALOT and NO red meat and lots of garlic, onions(shallots,leeks etc),broccolli.I have also heard that raspberries are brilliant but MUST BE ORGANIC, if not they are covered in pesticides and somehow defeat the object.
I was always somehow a rebel against any kind of perceived 'authority'figure, but no more apparently.I hang on every word the doctors say and am forever bombarding them with (probably stupid) questions.It feels like a matter of life and death!
By the way, has anyone read the article in yesterday's daily mail re. young women and breast cancer.It is truly shocking.Basically, it is argueing that younger women should be screened cos by the time we've self-referred it could well be too late! Great Stuff.I woul;dn't normally read the daily mail but it comes free with tescos!
