I wish there was such a thing because then i wouldn’t have to be on anastrozole 🙁, but I don’t know of any.

@A MyBCTeam Member I don't diet at all myself, I've been a vegetarian since age 7, only cause I don't like meat, lol, and the only thing I do differently is less sugar, cause it was a horrible addiction.. (my vice) I would even go as far to say.. I do take a medium amt of supplements, in hopes they will help me with certain things yes, that I have studied days and hrs in these regards. But as we all always say, we do what we feel is best for us. I do make suggestions on here, but of course we all know we are not experts, maybe expert warriors and friends though.. ;) P.S. The reason I take the grapeseed is in hopes that the more I have to cut this d synthetic AI down, that hopefully the grapeseed will cover the rest.. All I can do is try.. pray.. cry.. and hopefully live to see a brighter day.. I hope that for each of us.. LOVE! YOU! Have a day that's beautiful.. like YOU! :))

Good morning, @A MyBCTeam Member!
I appreciate your input. And, I do believe in natural remedies. But I also believe we can enjoy our lives while individually trying to figure all of this out.
I don't like or eat any other food having processed sugar. I only like fruit and ice cream.
And I know that carbs can turn into "simple sugar" too.
So this is my only treat ...one time a day! Actually, I had lost a lot of weight during my chemo, side effects, C-diff, etc. So...my plastic surgeon actually told me if I enjoy ice cream just eat it. Protein! I eat it and I thank God for it. I'm back at a decent weight now, 119 lbs and I exercise. I'm not a smoker or a drinker and I don't overindulge with anything. There's so many opinions as well as controversy about everything. So, that being said...I won't stress over it and will continue to enjoy my life and eat some ice cream🍨It makes me happy! 😊
We'll all work out what's best for each of us somehow.
I say..."
Keep enjoying every day life! ☺️
Have a great day!

I've seen what AI's have done to my cousin. She would get up at the crack of dawn and run 10 miles daily, run marathons, very active and now has osteoporosis and days she can't get out of bed due to side effects. Acupuncture is helping with hot flashes.
