Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Breast Cancer / December 2004Sister-in-law diagnosed
Hello, I am a prostate cancer survivor.......My sister-in-law was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and I gave her the name of this group. It may be too early for her to look for advice and such, but I was looking for some information I can give her to help her through this ordeal. Thank You so much.

John Loomis She'd be most welcome here (though we're always sorry when someone has need to join us)! And you're welcome, too: If you want to post questions related to things you know she's worried about, or her family's worried about, that's just fine, too. This is also a good place for people just to vent about fears & frustrations, too -- we've all been there. Ann T.

John Loomis Hi John, since there's no "group" reply yet. I use http://www.imaginis.com/ a lot. and http://www.cancersupporters.com/ If you click on the alt.support.cancer.breast and go into the FAQ section, there's books listed there, including one by Dr. Susan Love. I really recommend that she read them. Breast cancers vary. Surgeries vary. Treatments vary. The sequence of (surgeries, hormone therapy or chemo, or radiation therapy, reconstruction, if applicable, vary). Some are simple surgeries (lumpectomy and nothing more). Some are much more complex. Thank you for helping your sister-in-law, Best wishes, J > Hello, > I am a prostate cancer survivor.......My sister-in-law was recently > diagnosed with breast cancer and I gave her the name of this group.

John Loomis Our FAQ is at www.cancersupporters.com, which as well as brief information on various aspects of the subject, includes a list of useful links to other resources. Tim Jackson In December of '98 I noticed a lump in my right breast. In April '99 it was still there and was confirmed by a mammogram. By August '99 there were two lumps and the doctor wanted to do exploratory surgery. I had heard about noni juice and decided to try it instead. In September '99 I began drinking noni juice. By October '99, both lumps were gone! After two years, my regular checkups and doctor visits have revealed no lumps! --Cynthia B., USA 29 Jun 2002 http://www.tahitiannoni.com/1931235 > Hello, > I am a prostate cancer survivor.......My sister-in-law was recently > diagnosed with breast cancer and I gave her the name of this group.

John Loomis > In September '99 I began drinking noni juice. > By October '99, both lumps were gone! I'm sure that the writer does not have any financial interest in selling this product, and is not intending to suggest that the drink is a cure for cancer, as one might be tempted to think, posting such a testimonial in a cancer newsgroup. However it has in the past been advertised apparently for use as a drug despite lacking any sort of approval by regulatory bodies. http://www.quackwatch.org/04ConsumerEducation/News/noni.html I am aware that Quackwatch is controversial, but I refer the reader to the references to the FDA website at the end of the article, which list warning letters issued to vendors on the subject. Tim Jackson sorry tim- i've seen this posters "writing" in other groups. IMHO she is definitely pushing noni. if not, she is the most unfortunate and confused person on earth - she claims to have heart disease and at least 4 different kinds of cancer. miraculously, all of these conditions have been "cured" with noni juice. she also stated that she is 19 years old in another group, but in this group claims she has been jogging for 25 years. that must have been diffiicult to deal with for her mother - a 6 year pregnancy with a jogging fetus. hmmmm. if i knew how, i would report her for abuse. -christina > > In September '99 I began drinking noni juice. > > By October '99, both lumps were gone!

Well, probably, but far be it from me to accuse anyone without researching the facts. > if not, she is the most unfortunate and confused person on earth - she > claims to have heart disease and at least 4 different kinds of cancer. > miraculously, all of these conditions have been "cured" with noni juice. > she also stated that she is 19 years old in another group, but in this group > claims she has been jogging for 25 years. that must have been diffiicult to > deal with for her mother - a 6 year pregnancy with a jogging fetus. hmmmm. Understand that he she or it is actually posting testimonials by other people - the by-line varies while the 'from' name remains the same. There is no comment or other text from the actual poster. > if i knew how, i would report her for abuse. You could try an email to abuse@aliant.net, that is the complaints address in the message headers. You can find this and other information by using the "Properties" item in the "File" menu of Outlook Express to view the message headers. Tim Jackson sorry tim- my oversight. i guess i stopped reading these posts and never saw the names at the end. it still smells fishy to me though. -c. > > sorry tim- > > i've seen this posters "writing" in other groups.
