As I’m learning more about how this dis-ease works I have been able to reflect on the signs I missed. I’ve been reading that cancer actually starts 8-10 years before a lump ever forms, I’ve also read a lot about it being a metabolic disorder, and a big part of it is living in fight or flight mode. I can only use my lifestyle and my story as proof to things I’ve learned as that’s what makes sense to me, and the more I learn about how our bodies work and the importance of nutrition the more I see that the cure has been available to us all along.
I’m not entirely sure I can remember if I had any symptoms 8-10 years ago other than I had been living with extreme anxiety for years and 9 years ago I lost a lot of weight, and I’ve struggled to put any back on. I would say my only symptoms were my diet and living with high stress until a couple years ago when I missed a period and assumed I was starting the menopause process. I even made an appointment with a doctor to talk about it and she brushed it off as perimenopause as well.
The next symptoms I brushed off were painful breasts before I started my menstrual cycle, which were easy to brush off as it wasn’t something new but it was more painful than before that missed cycle and eventually the pain continued through the month. After roughly 18 months of dealing with that suddenly one day it felt like it did when I was breastfeeding and my milk came in, my boobs were swollen, full of lumps and felt full and oh my gosh they hurt. I googled it and found fibro-cystic breast tissue and it described it perfectly so that was easy to brush off. They settled after a day and went back to normal except this really large lump in my right breast that’s a little painful. It’s large, probably 2×2 inches, I need to look at the radiology report for exact measurements but it’s big.
The lump came in September/Octoberish 2025, but if it actually started 8-10 years ago how on earth would anyone know? From what I understand there are no tests, just diagnostic testing after the tumors start. Looking back on my entire life, my eating habits or lack there of and being in a constant state of stress, holy moly what a recipe for disaster. Nutrition wasn’t taught in our home and I don’t remember many classes on it in school nor has any doctor I’ve seen made my eating habits the topic of the visit.
From my own experience and looking through my life, I ended up this way by having a lifestyle of eating processed foods, junk food, very little foods with actual nutrients in them. I watched calories but it’s nutrition value that I should have learned and utilized. Nutrient dense foods are what I’m eating now and having amazing results on my health, in a matter of only a few weeks.
We are what we eat is a real statement and we should be focused on eating food that is real and stay away from anything processed.
Next chapter I’ll talk about the protocol I’m using to heal my body and I’ll be posting up my Venmo to anyone who wants to help me.
