Hello there,

Hope everybody is on the way to healing....

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018.  At that time they also said it has gone to the lypmph nodes.  I decided not to get chemo or surgery.  I went with doing natural medicine. 

I am at a stage now....it is very inflammed and little bumps on my breast.  It's bleeding and white pus coming out.

It's also been harder to breath lately.  I tried castor oil.  Was looking into using oral salve but not sure where I can get it.

My local herbal store doesn't carry it.

If you have any suggestions to my next steps....I would appreciate the help.

I'm in Washington state of USA.

Thank you so much.

  • Would you consider seeing a doctor as it sounds like it's growing and it would be important to know where the cancer is for the best treatment.  I don't know your personal situation, but if your not insured you still have a right to treatment in the US. There are lots of discussions about this on the group's I joined on Face****. Sending hugs xxx

    Hi Veganly  I can understand your choices not to have surgery and chemotherapy  , however , I would go with the science now and see your Doctor . Take their advice and get the best treatment that you can .

    Take care

  • Hi Veganly, I really feel for you. I wanted to go vegan and did for a while, and believe for an instant miracle too as I believe in the healing power of God. However I realised my life was at stake and going the purely natural route is complicated too and may not work. I’ve now started the medical route after waiting 6 months. It had spread to the lymph nodes and fortunately hadn’t gone further. I’ve started my first chemo now the plan is Mastectomy after chemo then radiotherapy. I’m still believing for a miracle but God is using the doctors too!! My advice is that you see your doctor ASAP and eat as healthily as possible throughout and after the whole journey. 

  • Hi  and another warm welcome to the forum. I’m a fan of veganism  but have also gone fully down the conventional treatment route. We each have to decide how to deal with our situation so I respect your choice. I was wondering if you have had any medical input? I believe there are centres where allopathic medicine is integrated with natural approaches and I wonder if that might be acceptable to you? I have meant to get in touch with the Penny Brohn centre in Bristol but somehow haven’t got there yet. It’s nowhere near me, and even further away from you, but they do lots of online stuff and possibly online consultations too. So you could have a look at it and see if they have anything to offer you? There are people on this forum who take mistletoe/ iscador? alongside their other treatments, but of course under the guidance of a therapist. You have spurred me on to register for the Penny Brohn centre newsletter so maybe I’ll contact them at last. Good luck with it all, love and hugs, HFxx

  • I don't know how you feel about taking medicines apart from chemo,  but there is a group which was started by a consultant at a London hospital looking at off label treatments.

  • Hi Veganly,

    I am wondering how you are doing with your cancer healing journey?
    Have you looked into German New Medicine?
    It's very important to ensure you are getting adequate amounts of protein during the intense healing phase.

    I am taking this approach and it has done me very well. Remember that as with all healing, it gets worse before it gets better. Healing isn't pretty, but it's definitely possible given there are no complications.

    Wishing you the best,

  • Hello Veganly,  I don’t know exactly what to say as I don’t have any information for you.  I eat plant based I did however follow the path of traditional cancer treatment for my situation.  Had bilateral lumpectomy as had DCIS in one breast and stage 1 in the other.  Had radiation and now on anastrazole for 5 years.  
    I am worried that your symptoms need immediate treatment by your natural medicine provider.  This is complicated and a specialist needs to be managing your treatment.  

    I wish you the best in your search for alternatives but don’t hesitate to use western medicine.  They can help too.
