Thank you so much for your podcast on this subject! I’ve long suspected that women were being mutilated unnecessarily. In fact, Ike the transgender conspiracy, I think mastectomies are a form of medical misogyny. And I still feel that way to this day, in spite of my own double mastectomy 2 years ago.
I was diagnosed with double breast cancer in 2023, which means tumors in both breasts. Because I was so small-breasted, lumpectomies would have totally mangled my breasts, basically necessitating reconstruction, so I opted for a double mastectomy instead. Reconstruction is a nightmare in itself, usually requiring at least 3 surgeries, plus 8 weeks of doing very little with your arms and hands after EACH surgery. Then there is also the real possibility of implant complications, meaning more surgery or additional health problems. And if you have radiation therapy before reconstruction, then you have a whole new set of problems because it permanently turns your skin into rubber chicken-skin and wounds don’t heal well.
I had both lobular and ductile carcinomas, so my additional reasoning for a double mastectomy was that by removing all of the breast ducts and lobes, my cancer would have a far less chance of returning. Not only that, but everyone I read or listened to, including many alternative practitioners and survivors, said that you have to get the tumors out of the body or else you run the risk of them shedding cancer stem cells into your bloodstream and other parts of your body.
I had had a tumor in my right breast for probably anywhere from 5 to 10 years, although I didn’t discover it until I could literally visually see it. By then, it was a large pink lump that protruded from my right breast. At first, I refused to believe it was cancer, because I have a great immune system, and everybody always says that cancer is an immune system defect. I mean, I was a flight attendant and I was flying in small enclosed spaces with thousands of people from every corner of the earth on a weekly basis for many years, and I never got sick! All that passenger hacking and sneezing and vomiting and picking up used dishes and cleaning disgusting lavatories on those airplanes never made me sick. So how could that lump in my breast actually be cancer? So I let the lump go for over a year until it became so big that it started to break through the skin and form a scab. And that’s when they found the other tumors as well.
During my mastectomy surgery, they found one sentinel lymph node near the big tumor with some cancer cells in it, so they took that node and the next two in line behind it, which thankfully were cancer-free. They took out only the first sentinel node near the other breast, and it was cancer-free, so they didn’t take any additional ones on that side. Imagine that! Three breast tumors, including a very large, protruding stage 3 tumor that had probably been there from 5-10 years, and they only found a few cancer cells in one lymph node! I was very lucky. Many women are talked into having complete lymphadenectomies and spend the rest of their lives dealing with excruciating lymphedema.
I refused both chemotherapy and radiation, and there is a ton more I could tell you about my experience with oncologists and radiologists and what they want to do to you, but it’s too much to write here. And I still wonder if my double mastectomy was really necessary…
Thank you for this detail. I am bearing down on a postponed (at my doing) biopsy for a painful, palpable lump, and two behind it that I cannot feel. Have been concerned about the “leakage” from the biopsy but also feel I need to know what I’m dealing with.
Reading all that I can in the event it’s diagnosed as a C. I am not inclined to do many of the traditional therapies.
Praying for wisdom. Again, thank you and any other detail you want to share would be appreciated!
I’m so sorry to hear that you’re going through this! When I first confided in anyone, even before my own sister and Mom, it was my girlfriend whose husband is a gynecologist. She immediately put me in touch with her older sister, Lynette, who had breast cancer 30 years earlier and had a lumpectomy, but then refused all other standard treatment. She gave me a list of alternative therapies right away, which I implemented immediately:
1. Organic, whole food, mostly raw plant-based diet. Cut out absolutely all sugar, processed food and animal products. I literally ate ONLY raw fruits, veggies and nuts (huge daily salads) with a little bit of extra virgin oil and herbs and spices, lightly cooked veggies and brown or black rice (detoxifier). I did that for over a year before and after surgery. Occasionally I’d have wild Alaskan salmon to supplement my protein intake, but only about once a week. I still eat very little animal protein.
2. Take fever baths as often as you can. They fake your body into thinking you have a fever, which alerts your immune system into destroying invaders.
3. Drink Essiac and/or Sir Jason Winters tea several times a day. I believe the sage & chaparral tea is recommended for breast cancer.
4. Exercise. Exercising increases the oxygen in your blood, and oxygen kills cancer cells.
5. Stimulate your lymphatic system. Massage and jumping on trampolines work well.
6. Do not drink ANY alcohol. Alcohol is a HUGE risk factor for any kind of cancer.
7. Pray, read Scriptures, forgive those who’ve hurt you, let others take care of YOU. Trauma is also a HUGE predictor of cancer.
8. Laugh and participate in wholesome activities that bring you joy.
9. Read every alternative cancer book/website you can find. My favorite is ChrisBeatCancer.com, especially his book by the same name.
Best wishes, Lesley, and God bless you on your journey and bring you complete healing! 🙏🏻🌸❤️
A terrible shame to do that to such lovely appendages. I'm horrified to know that so many lovely ladies are talked into removing them as a "preventative" measure because of some gene, when there are so many cheap nutritional ways to prevent it and actually help in overall health and wellness. Thank you for making this information avaiable.
Such great information! Thank you!

Thank you for this detailed list, some of which I’d not heard. Will be saving this. I’m a believer, so I know God is sovereign!
Very grateful for your time. May you feel His hand on you.
