Nancy Dip,

Regarding my daily supplements, I take curcumin, flaxseed freshly ground, ganoderma (a type of mushroom) extract, omega 3 including olive oil, vitamins, vegetable/fruit predominant diet, very little red meat, adequate proteins from beans including soy and its derivatives, turkey and fish. I am a true believer of ganoderma. I walk everyday but not excessively. Milk and egg are included. Good nutrition is important to fight the disease.

Every person has cancers cells in the body and the immune system kills them. This is a constant fight and we must have our troops ready to do the battle everyday.

Alaska Angel's thread on the ER positive cancer is very interesting. Although there is no quantitative advantage cited for chemo, the article implies the chemo can only give a negligible recurrence edge of around 1 or 2%.
