Arimedex? Aromasin? Vegetarian?
Posted: 01-15-06 12:03pm

I am 66 years old and in good physical and psychical shape.
2001 I was discovered on mammogram and biopsy cancer on the right breast. It was 0.4 inches big. For two months I took tamoxifen. Because of a lot of negative side effects I decided to stop taking the pills and rather started wit the system of even healthier food.
2005 I was again discovered on mammogram in the earliest phase a cancer on the left breast, which could also not be touched, and my left breast was removed. Decision for radical removal of both breasts was mine. In none case I did not receive the irradiation or the chemo therapy. Cancer (her 2 neg) did not spread to lymphatic gland or other organs.
Now I take arimedex, but I am skeptic because of its side effects (osteoporosis and cancer on genitals).
Is aromasin more appropriate therapy than arimedex for hormone response breast cancer? I found that aromasin has fewer negative side effects.
Should I continue with the hormone therapy even I don’t have any breast left and no other health problems?
Can food therapy (vegetarian) replace hormone therapy in my case?
Maybe one of you has the same situation. Thank you for all the advice and good luck to you all.
