I have invasive ductal carcinoma and I have refused all surgery. Two years ago I was diagnosed stage 3 as it was in my lymph nodes. They wanted to do a double mastectomy, chemo, rad etc; but I’m doing great today. Still have both my breast and I’m really healthy. I am doing the Budwig protocol along with a bit of homeopathy when I’ve need it to help with hormonal things (I’m also estrogen +). I talk to people who have chosen the other path and they have a lot of health issues, so I am happy I have chosen this way.
