Excellent and clear explanation, this should be a required video for every breast cancer patient. I need to work on my sleep hours.

Thank you for such an integrative, illustrative summary! What really frustrates me about the oncology support I have received is the lack of visualization of benefits from the endocrine treatment (like the one you provided) and the disregard (too strong a word?) for the natural factors that can help (aside exercise and weight loss, of course). I understand that for most of us who have issues with AI side-effects, believing in the value of natural factors will probably end up undermining the conventional endocrine treatment, but I feel an open-minded approach such as yours might also help a lot remain on the treatment. So, thank you for acknowledging that issues do exist (in other videos of yours) and thank you for providing an integrative approach!

Thank you for this easy to understand layout!

I had surgery, and I'm beginning radiation. My Oncotype score was 13. I do not need chemo. Endocrine therapy has been prescribed. But the side effects can be terrible. I am 67 years old and have had four heart attacks. If I have side effects that affect my ability to work, I will have to discontinue them. I MUST be able to work. Being cancer-free and homeless doesn't sound like an improvement.

There are no guarantees even with these conventional therapies. Best of luck to you!

My oncologist says no curcumin if ER positive breast cancer.

Great summary, thank you

I video record your footage about vitamin d and sent it to ppl in mainland china because KZread is blocked in mainland china . Now vitamin d consumption becomes most important routine for me everyday .

The visual presentation was very helpful. Thank you.

This was really great thank you so much!

Awesome discussion Doctor⭐️Liked and Subscribed.

Thank you doctor

Thank you so much for this packed information. I am on chemo presently.

Thank you

Awesomely explained

I did not know about vitamin D. I am vitamin D deficient. I’m lazy about taking my supplements. I guess I need to start taking it again

You explained this so much better than my doctors!! Thank you!!

Drs explain nothing, my oncologist is a cold, blunt, impersonal bitch

Thank you Chemo did it for me 👍

This is a great presentation. Thank you! My care team has followed everything you have presented here. I am 5 months post surgery, 2months post radiation and 2 months on AI in addition to making lifetime changes as I integrate more practices from the right side of the presentation.

​@CGyog I am doing good. I am on Anastrozole- joint pain seems to be improving (or I am just getting used to it). But overall doing great!

Great video! I noticed you recommend Resveratrol to patients that have ER+ hormon based cancer. My wife, after receiving chemo and radiation for this cancer type, and now receiving hormon therapy (Letrozol) wonders whether it is okay to take Resveratrol since there are some research that indicate it might interfere with the hormonal therapy since it is a phytostrogen. Maybe it all comes down to the dosage, do you recommend a particular dose that might be safe in these situations?

I'd love your opinion of lumpectomy vs. mastectomy. Tough decision

I did chemo, mastectomy, radiation and hormone therapy. Now to excercise. I hate excercise

Great video and so beautifully packaged Just checking, I have looked into Turmeric as an additional for inflammation due to sore joints, however I have read that it may interact negatively with Tamoxifen. Your observations tend to dispute this. Have you any additional comments towards this please?

Oncology certified NP here..I read recently that about 12 % of breast cancers are directly attributable to alcohol. Women simply do not metabolize alcohol the way men do. And yes, it seems to be a glaring omission in the presentation. But to be fair, many textbooks I've read also also fail to mention this.

What about stage 0 DCIS?

Before my chemotherapy i had a ctscan. After the 8 cyckes again i underwent ctscan. But the results of before and after are the same, does it mean that it is not a recurrence?

I had a lumpectomy, chemotherapy now taking estrogen reduction pill. I have been taking vitamin D and levothyroxine for years.I didn't want radiation. I go for another mammogram next week. If I get breast cancer again I will have both breast removed. I have not felt right since beginning

Have u ever checked your vitamin d level ?

You can’t exercise if the aromatose inhibitors are too debilitating

@lindajones4849

Ай бұрын

Absolutely. If the aromatase inhibitors trashes your joints how are you going to exercise? They also cause weight gain and interfere with sleep . There goes your restorative sleep if you trash your estrogen level. Heck, the Reclast I take for osteoporosis is compromising my joints and decreasing my exercise tolerance . I NEED TO BE ABLE to WALK. What does my former endocrinologist say? Reclast causes inflammation so " pick your poison"!!! 😮😮😮😮

Almost 90% of natural evidence-based factors, I’m comply but still got breast cancer 😅.

This is still a LOP sided education piece. And MANY integrative patients are out there using Holistic approach and these standard conventional approaches too. Until we can speak to the TRUTH of the matter we shouldn't speak. And this didn't. It actually shamed those that choose something different .. I am an Integrative patient .. I use western as well. But because of you. And others like you, we struggle day and night to be treated equally in your system.

Thank you for taking the time to comment on this video, Kristi. I am not sure if the primary message of this video was understood by you, however. The video stressed the benefit of both approaches to breast cancer therapy (conventional and evidence-based natural) and how both integrated together can bless patients. I am an integrative doc who works intimately with medical oncologists on a daily basis. These medoncs provide tremendous care and benefit for their patients. We coordinate care together so that patients receive all of the benefits from the conventional therapies as well as the potential additional benefit from the natural (evidence-based only) options that are (1) recommended by our practice and then (2) approved by their conventional team. I am sorry that it appears you have have either thought that the video over-stressed the conventional too much or that something was not included from the natural side of things that you think should have been highlighted. I will review the video again and see if I can see your point of the LOP-sided nature of this material, to see if we can see the dramatic extent of mistruth that claim - to the degree that we shouldn't even speak on the matter. If you'd care to actually get an inside experience of how we truly practice here at Oster Oncology then you are very welcome to call us and ask any questions you wish!
