Hi

Hi Everybody  even though I joined today,ive been following all from past year,thats when ive been diagonised with GM.
Same story ,went with a lump in left breast and has been refererred  to Breast surgeon and cancer specialist,who from day 1 was sure this is GM  but still has to go thru mammo,ultrasound and biopsy to convince her colleagues(I mean other docs) needles inflammed and had to go thru I@d procedure  which was very painful and truamatising  and  took lot of time to heal about 9 months and  actually opened up again last month.
Thanks to my dad who was going thru this forum religiously everyday and reading out  tips for me ,cause whenever I read this myself  I used to feel very low and depressed.
but a big THANKS to all the gals who posted here their tips ,reading which  ive decided not to take steroids as they didn't help much  (needs lots of tolerance emotionally and physically)but  iam still trying I tried clay which didn't help much. iam taking probiotics,turmeric pom juice aloejuice  and some homoepathic medicines  which did help me a lot and felt like I was getting well specially not doing much and taking lots of rest really helped.

but this summer I went on vacation and roaming  and stressing  a lot which made GM to inflame  and flareup again even though my ultrasound didn't show any lumps in the other one ,I have redness on the lower part of other breast also.planning to go back to rest mode again to reduce that .

From my experience to manage open wounds I found something called prid(drawing salve, which u can find in walmart in firstaid section)it really heals open wounds and,eruptionsor lesions a lot .i just apply it on the open wounds with Q-tips and put cabbage leaf on that (as leaf wont stick to it) and put nonstick pads on top of the leaf ,it will help even with the pus come out .

iam from detriot  and of indian origin ,iam giving this just to know if   the region and origin have any links for getting this,my biggest frustration through all this is " NOT KNOWING WHY I GOT THIS" .

i just started with a new homoepath who gave me 8-9 months to heal this(fingers crossed) ,will post  if there is any improvement.

Wishing All of us a healthy and speedy recovery.
thanks for bearing with the long story..

Homepathy is helping me a lot, but i need to be on strict homepathic diet for it to work properly. Over last one month since I started it, my lump is almost half size ...any deviation from my diet, increases inflammation, so diet is VERY important. I only eat gourd, courgette, cucumber and egg cooked...with rice...and also milk with Sagu (tapioca)...very hard to stick to it...but works wonders....
