Side effects tamoxifen - memory/thinking problems, soreness ovaries/womb. Had other probs as well - tiredness etc but they seem to be balanced by the sage and eve prim.
Letzo - pains in muscles/joints. skin really really dry/ burning. Dizziness and not feeling 'quite there'. Tiredness.
I took tamoxifen sept '11 - jan '12. The surgeon considered just by looking and palpating the breast it was much better. But on the scan there was little reduction - obviously, on the one plane.
I changed to the letzo then, hoping for better results and took this for about 6 -8wks till skin driving me mad. Started taking salvestrols 18th Feb 2012.
The last scan showed one of the tumours reducing by half, one reducing slightly, and the other showed great 'thinning' of the tumour, although it was the same length.
Gerry, I went to see Dan talking in Galway as I wanted to ask him questions. What I was picking up was that the cancers were being 'put to sleep' - not killed, but deactivated... It seemed that they almost waited then to be reabsorbed by the body.
I am using the liposomal vit c in short bursts with chlorella, and I think this has some effect - whether it oxygenates the cancer cells? - but it seems hard on my system and makes me feel like I felt for the first week or two when I was on the high dose salvestrol.
Sorry - yes, I definately think there has been a huge diff since taking the salvestrols. Objectively this seems to be the case, looking at the scans.
Gerry - before I took them I could here the cancer 'voice' very strongly - it really wanted to live -but then it just became quiet. My cranio believes it's a 60% tamoxifen, 40% salvestrols in the shrinkage.
Thanks for the advice re indoles. Have been scrunching raw broccoli but will get supplement!
Best wishes
