need help
Hello, My good friend who was dianosed with breast cancer 5 years agoe and refused to do chemo etc and done natural treatments has just told me that one of her breast has disapeared completely on its own and over a space of 6 months, the breast was also 3 years after surgery was weeping at the scar tissues. I have told her many times to go and do monthly checks and blood tests but she was to scared all the time, now the situation is critical as i am afraid that she has lefted it to long does anyone have any informations on why one breast can suddenly disapear like this?? i saw her yesterday and now i got on her case and told her now go to the hospital on monday. but now i need to know more on this subject and if anyone has anything like this happen to them and any known causes of such a thing............... thank you very much

Hi Lila, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I'm sorry also that I can't help you with you question as I've never heard of a breast disappearing..........all I can tell you is if you have to take her to the Emergency Room but get her there ASAP this really needs looking into.
Love n hugs. Chrissy -
thank you for your mail, yes i am alittle bit concerned as i never seen anyhting like this or heard about it before, so i am little concerned as you an may imagine she told about 1 year agoe about the condition of her breast and i told her to go qiuckly and she told me she had only now i find out that it was a lie. so tomorrow we take her to emergency to fin d out why this is happening to her.. she is so scared at the moment,i can understand her as i also had cancer but surviour of 10 years now... but i have never heard of a breast disapear like this in fact you can see she has no more on one side.. so i am afraid she lefted it to long and now its all rush... but thank you for your reply much appreciated

just to let you know my friend was dianosed today and it is an advance stage of cancer gone to the ribs and the cancer has eaten the breast away and now is emerging out of the skin tissue, they have order that she do chemo tomorrow morning but she has refused.. now i no idea what to do.. or how to deal with her as she is wanting to surrive and do natural cure but at this stage i don t think that is enough what to do?

Lila I'm so sorry. The decision to have standard treatment or not belongs to your friend. Even though you know it's the right thing her choice is her choice. All you can do is support her decision in any way you can but right now I think her cancer has gone way to far for just a natural cure..........besides, at late stage which is stage IV there is no cure only management.
Once again I'm truly sorry.
Love n hugs. Chrissy -
WOW this is scary.Please keep us posted on everything that happens to her.
I wish her all the best.

thank you, i think she is way above any cure at the moment and anything would be just trying to hold on to some hope which of course better then no hope, i dont know if you will have even enough time now to do anything to put things into order or even the process of trying to do something anyway i am with her she is coming here today and i will see what she has planned now that she past the first night although she wants me to go to a clinic in India with her... natural cure... i have no idea how to deal at this stage or how much time she actually has lefted to even try.. thank you for your words ... its helps alot.. i will keep you informeed but its pretty scary having to deal with it on others... cos she is looking towards me and that is heavy responsibitly for sure.

In the book How We Do Harm, the dr wrote about a breast cancer patient came into his ER with her breast wrapped in towel. The cancer has eaten away the layers and the breast was off her chest. It is scary but it happened. I hope your friend got the right care and comfort.

Lila, just be there for her is the best way to help her. Hopefully she has thought about things overnight but if she is still determined to do the natural healing then as I said before, just be there for her.........you never know, miracles do happen.
Keep coming here for your own support.
Love n hugs. Chrissy -
hello, sorry so long, to report back, Yes My friend has the cancer metastis in the also the bones and head and also the breast and skin tissue stage 4
she is not doing anything but natural meds, refusing chemo... radio etc.
She is still able to go about her daily activities and is at this moment is only thinking postive ..
I really have no idea what sort of time is left but I am keeping her postive until advance symtoms arise.
If anyone has any useful knowledge on natural meds for also pain management for future.. that would be helpful
Of course everything is now up to the Lord and prayers are needed for her.. her name is Fiorella.
thank you for being here.. Hugs to you all godbless you all
