Just had surgery myself. Expecting radiotherapy next, but hoping to not need chemotherapy. I wasn’t told what stage I am. They mentioned, high grade DCIS, Grade 2 invasive, ER positive. I am 66 and have never been in hospital for anything before. I have been whole food vegan for 2 years. My plan is to keep my weight as low as possible within the healthy BMI range, and to only eat cruciferous vegetables, soy products, garlic, yellow onions, chick peas, spinach, Indian spices (cooked in water, not oil), and only drink water and green tea. Also to keep fat/oil to a minimum, if not eliminate it altogether. And no salt. According to Dr. Greger (on RUclips) those are the proven breast cancer fighting foods. This will be my “kick up the bum” diet. Anything is better than going through this nightmare again.
I might have misunderstood, you had stage 0 DCIS 9 yrs ago & had a double mastectomy & no chemo or radiation. And now breast cancer stage 2 is new with chemo? Would having radiation at the time of DCIS possibly have prevented this current diagnosis? I think radiation is standard now, but could be mistaken. I pray for your continued healing ❤
