On July 20, 2017, at the age of 28, I was diagnosed with triple positive (estrogen, progesterone, and HER2 positive), stage one, Invasive Ductal Carcinoma that was grade 3, meaning it was one of the more aggressive forms of breast cancer. My immediate reaction to any problem, big or small, is to learn as much as I possibly can, and so I immediately took to the internet and, without really knowing it, became a member of my own healing team. I have always been open to alternative medicine, and the more I researched, read, and watched, the more I found out about the benefits of an integrative treatment route. Once I listened to my body and my heart, both were telling me that my path was meant to be an integrative one, using treatments from both the alternative and conventional world. I decided to accept some parts of the conventional treatment (surgery, partial chemo, Herceptin, and hormone therapy called Tamoxifen), but I decided against other parts (radiation and the rest of chemo), and I complemented these with a whole host of alternative therapies, supplements, and lifestyle changes.
