Post Message Message Board Search FAQ Posted by Betsy Mullen on 7/16/2000 from 205.188.197.59:In reply to: Refuse Chemo posted by Patty on 7/13/2000 from 152.163.207.204:

We have developed an extensive Brest Cancer Resource Guide that includes information on conventional and complemetary aproaches to treatment as well a many other wonderful books and videos, all of which we will be happy to send to you free of charge.
I was personaly faced with the same questions you have nearly 8 years ago when I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 33. Chemotherapy was clearly indicated in my case, and whikle I feared the short-term prospect of undergoing chemo, I knew that the short-term sacrifice would be worth the long-term gain of a better prognosis and possible cure. I underwent 6-months of CMF chemo, and chose to use several complementary herbs, etc. to help minimize side effects and boost my immune system. I chose a lesser course of chemo (I had the option of CAF) because I had a better chance of noit losing my hair -- A decision I regret, because not losing my life is more importat than any other thing.
Good luck, take care and please contact us so we can help.
