Promising study shows green tea helps with radiation dermatitis.

In the clinical trial thread on this website, there is a recent discussion regarding clinical trials that look at whether depleting copper can reduce metastasis for TNBC. The article below indicates that Cornell/MSK is going to start recruiting for a clinical trial this fall. It looks like participants will be taking pills daily and that the side effects are minimal.

Thanks ladies! I’ll be drinking green tea daily (multiple sources tout its benefits) Costco has a very good brand tea bags from Japan. And eating foods rich in copper such as avocado, leafy greens, nuts, etc.

Very interesting study, Norcals! Thanks for sharing. I'll be watching to see what eligibility requirements there are for the upcoming clinical trial.

Hello to all. I have not been on in ages but thought I would let you all know there is life after TNBC. December 26 of this year will be 10 years. 🤞 I had to stop Chemo as it almost did me in. No radiation at all. Just try & eat balanced diet & watch sweets. Take supplements of B12 & D3 primarily. Still have wine or mixed drink now & then. Covid was hard as my yoga class closed. I’ll be 76 in October. Still ticking. Weight in good area. Take care & prayers to all of you. 💪

PiperKay

Fantastic news, lookingforward66!! Thank you for sharing, and here's to at least 10 more!

Hey everyone,

I'm TN IDC Stage 2 diagnosed back in 8/2017 at the age of 28, Chemo, Lumpectomy, Radiation.

Can ya'll talk to me about your experience of Fat necrosis? I want it all. Good bad ugly, info, experience etc.

I am 4 years out from finishing treatment and i just now 6 months ago was told a lump i found was fat necrosis. In the six months (my next checkup is next week) since i feel like it has gotten slightly larger. And as you can imagine that has my brain going crazy. Any info is great. I don't want sugar coated. Just the truth. I guess my worst fear of course is it was mislabeled and its actually a recurrence.

sending love

turbokitten, sorry no one has replied to you. I only have minor experience with fat necrosis. I have a small lump under my port scar, of all places.

I came here to post this information.

Turbokitten - there seems to be more activity on the thread you started.

I have no information for you regarding fat necrosis, but I hope someone can share their experience with you.

It's difficult to not become alarmed with any lump/bump. Hopefully they'll get this resolved for you and it will just fat necrosis.

Are you scheduled to see someone for this?

anotherNYCGirl

Turbo,

I've had fat necrosis and it is very common! It can be identified on a sono, - did you have one? Yes, it can change in size.

Have you had your recheck yet? Let us know how it went!

Hugs from NYC
