Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Dear Nataly, I hope all is well with you since I haven't seen you post since your original message. The ladies here are only concerned for your well being. Perhaps I may have a little more in common with you. I have searched the net, breast cancer message boards, and you name it with no success on woman or men like us that choose not to have treatment outside of surgery. Sorry to say there in nothing for us. I have read the message boards, have posted, and it seems the feed back all though is very passionate, is not very supportive for us when we choose not to go with treatment. I don't mean to sound harsh, but it's very true. My diagnoses was in May of this year. I took it a step further than you Nataly. I chose not to even have the surgery. I have educated myself as much as one can on breast cancer and cancer in general. My mind, heart and gut lead me to my own decision to leave things alone. My husband and kids are right behind me on my decision. I feel whatever treatment one chooses is very personal and I support everyone on their decisions. I'm not against surgery with treatment at all, I applaud all that are going through this to fight their battle, but I am a strong believer that it's a very personal choice. I believe you came to this board just as I did to make a friend, talk to someone, have a chuckle or two or maybe to just vent. Please keep posting, reading and educate yourself on this disease. Everyone here means well and is concerned and are willing to listen. I hope to hear from you. All the very best of health from my house to yours.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 I did not save the links since I chose to have the mastectomy and did not need the other choices but there are places online where you can get information and support for using the alternative methods of treatment. You are correct, we each have to follow our hearts and make our own decisions. Sometimes we make the wrong decisions but even then, it had to be our own choice. The week before my mother was diagnosed with lung and liver cancer, she made the remark to me and my husband that if she should ever have cancer, she would choose not to have the treatments. A week later, she had pain and the doctor, after tests, said she had both cancers. The oncologist did not give her much hope because both were advanced but she insisted that she be given chemotherapy. We can also make decisions and change our minds...that's our perogative. I can't even remember the name of the star, but there is a t.v. star who chose not to have treatment and used alternative methods...the last I heard (over a year ago) she was still surviving. Maybe someone remembers who she is and if she is still surviving in 2004. > > Hi! > > > > Was diagnosed last day of Feb 2004. Invasive ductal carcinoma > comedo > > type.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Hi Doris, Thanks for your reply and input, it's very much appreciated. I am taking an alternative approach for myself, with very happy results so far. It may not be the answer but for now it feels good. I hope nothing but the best for your Mom, it must be a very hard time for you all. My thoughts are with you and your Mom.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 --- Thank you! I'm the oldest of seven kids, five girls two boys. They couldn't the sister just younger tahn me couldn't say Yolanda and called me Lala when she was little. From then on I have been Lala. My grands call me Grandma Lala now. I have two kids a girl and boy and seven grands I adore. I read all about her treatment and it sounded very painful to me. I could never give myself injections in the stomach. She did say she may reconnsider Chemo down the road if this doesn't work. She wanted to try this first. I know on Larry King she was talking about diet also. She thought that was very important as well. In breastcancer2 , mustangsplace <no_reply@y...> wrote: > Hi Yolanda, > > What a pretty name you have.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Hi Lala, How cute is that...lol...you must get the yellow teletubbie doll that says lala for your grand kids....so cute. I read the article on Suzanne Somers...although it was comforting for her, I personally would not go that route for myself. I'm quite pleased with the regimen I am on. I feel absolutely fantastic and what was once a 2.5cm tumor and was really easy to feel, now is hard to find...it's still there but not as prominate at all. I have to also look at this realisticaly, it doesn't mean the cancer is gone, it's not a cure but it sure feels good and I feel good. Time will tell with the outcome. Thanks Again...have a super day !!! Mustang........ > > > > > > > > Hi! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Was diagnosed last day of Feb 2004.
