how to treat an ulcerated (breast) tumor

Abigail, it seems that the wound sites I am searching all have the same information you are already using.  You know about charcoal, honey and other natural products that are used in the nursing and hospice field.  I haven't found anything new but will keep looking out for anything that may help. 

I'm so glad you are going to see a dr and getting a diagnosis but you shouldn't have to do it just to satisfy the doubters on here, after all, anyone can come on here and say they have been diagnosed.  I do hope the doctors are kind to you, otherwise there are many good suggestions on this thread for clinics and other options with caring health workers.  

Take care... Joy

hi abigail. i don't really know you yet. i dont know whether it is breast cancer or not. i do hope you do get to see a dr, only cause it seems you are suffering, and even if you only want relief from suffering, they can help you there. I hope it is not breast cancer, only cause one of the places it likes to go is the brain. and three years ago, i lost my friend sally whom i loved very much, to lung cancer that had went to her brain, and i was her end of life caregiver. it was a horrible thing to watch her personality change and degrade, and finally one day, she even refused any pain meds. that was the day, i was finally able to convince her please to let me call hospice, which she had been refusing for several months. and she was always apologizing to me for putting me through this. my answer was that i knew she would do the same for me, supporting me in any and all decisisions i had made. i think of her a lot, and miss her teribly, cause, i knew that woman really loved me, and knew the best and worst of me, and still she loved me. i had never had a friend like that before, and don't know if i will ever be lucky enough to ever have annother like her..

so she went to the dr to have her back fixed, and that is when they found cancer. she did a clinical trial, where they had to stop it after four infusions for all the people, because of the harm it was doing. she had stopped at three, because she did not have a port, and it was burning her veins, and giving her extreme hand and foot neuropathy. and the drs of hers kept calling her to come and have follow up tests,,and after a year or so, she refused to go back anymore. i had gone with her, because out of all the people, she was one whose tumors kept shrinking and shrinking, eventually, they disapeared completely. and they really wanted to know, why her and not the others.  and the drs were amazed, and really wanted to know why.incredibly, she lived for 10 more years, and the drs would call regularly begging her to come. she really could have advanced science and helped other people. but it was her choice. and i respected that, i couldnt understand. i didnt bug her about it, maybe once a year, i would ask her dont you want to know whats going on inside? cause they had staged her at stage 4, as it had gone to her hip too, which they had radiated. so, when i began to notice odd things about her, like she couldnt remember how to get somewhere she had been a million times, her house became quite dirty, not like her at all! and her orchids that she got to bloom year after year, began to die, and she would ask me to help her find something important like her bank card? i really became concerned, and asked her to go see the doc. no. so one weekend i was out of town, and had told her that i would be out of town, and when i got back, i called her, and she said, where were you? and that she had gotten into an accident and had a bump on her head, i ran down there, and  begged her to go to emergency. no. so i left her with icepack and aspirin, and went home and told my boyfriend. he was concerned and called her, and she said no. they were friends before he and i got together, and she loved him well, too. so, about an hour later, she showed up at my house, with her robe on, and only one shoe, and she didnt even know it. and she had no memory of me being there earlier. at that point, my boy friend got equally as concerned as i was, and sat her down in front of him. he has these pretty blue eyes, and a strong quiet way about him (i  adore him!), and he said to her, sally, we love you, and are afraid for you, wont you please go and see if you are ok? and finally, she said yes, so off her and i went.  as we went to get in the car, she went to the drivers side of my car, and i said, are you driving? and she said, no , better not. so, then she got into the back seat, and then tried to get into the passenger side that way, almost impossible in my little car. so i said c'mon sally its easier this way, and she got back out. and then we started walking around to the passenger side. and she stopped at the trunk. i said dont you want to ride in front? and she said i thought you wanted me in the trunk. My heart was breaking, and it was all i could do to not cry in front of her.

after tests, it was discovered that she had 4 golf ball sized tumors in her brain.

my heart was falling,falling. and turning and jumping. the brain is the seat of your soul, and really, what makes you, you. and i knew she would be changing and perhaps lost altogether. 

and to this day, i still think that if they could have caught them earlier, that she would still be here.

Good morning, Abigail,

I'm sure this has come up but have you ever tried epsom salt baths to draw off infection or soothe pain?

Great news, Abigail.

I'll have to add Rosemary oil myself. Thanks for the tip!

i also meant to say, that program is in every state, if you qualify.
