Greetings all.

Think of it this way.

We accept the importance of being treated with chemotherapy because it could help save our life. This is with all the horrendous side-effects.

We also accept that we should be treated with surgery, radiation, tamoxifen/AIs, and herceptin, again, with sometimes very significant side effects - and at great cost in terms of time spent hanging around health institutions.

Cutting out dairy is a small thing to ask compared to these other big asks, and with growing evidence that it makes a difference, why are we thinking twice about it?

Just thinking out loud.....
