<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">My journey began in mid 2007. I began to&nbsp; notice my left breast more larger than the other. Which is normal as no two breast size are the same. Yet, I felt a small lump on my right side of my left breast. At first, like so many women whom are willling to admit, we brush it off. Just a time of the month thing that has our bodies a bit coo coo. Then on day in the shower I felt more than two lumps. I felt four. You can imagine the fear that coursed through my whole body and brain at that very second. I became angry with myself by a few hours later. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">We all have heard or read how many women brush off a lump only to be too late to prevent breast cancer. Many do not have access to cancer prevention. Back in 2007, I did have health insurance. I went in, doctor felt around (I didn't say I already knew about the lumps.. I mean, I wanted to see if it would be noticed. If not, I most definetly would have pointed it out and then changes doctors).&nbsp; She did feel them. In fact, she made me turn in different ways to get a good feel over and over again ensuring she was feeling them. Then she asked and I told her how and when I first felt it. Then later found more. Tests were done and thankfully they were benign. I was told to change my diet which at that time consisted of processed, cold coffee drinks. I cut it out for some years. I then chose another flavor but same company brand. Which did not help me I found later. In 2013, I had cysts on my right breasts and sent to a highly recommended surgeon doctor.&nbsp; He was throrough in his assessment and suggested removal. Not the breasts. The cysts. All the cysts I have as of 2013 were tested and determined benigned. It was odd. Having cysts from one breast to the other in a span of years. The doctors could not tell me what the cause was (Other than the coffee notation back in 2007). I scheduled for the surgery to remove all the cysts. Unfortunately, the surgeon was called off-island and suggested I go to the Phillipines to remove. I live on Guam&nbsp; and the closest..cheapest hospital to do so was there. My health insurance company, approved it.....but I would have to pay all expenses, then be reimbursed (Imagine my shock:{&nbsp; I did not have those fund easily at hand. I went to another suggested doctor. She reviewed the records from the surgeon did her assessment. Then she told me, "I" am taking removal in surgery to seriously. I told her I did not understand what she meant. She said the sizes of all the cysts being compared to this scenario. "Like tiny cockroaches being shot at by a super sized gun". Surgery was not needed. It shouldn't have been on the table as a solution. I told her I just wanted to go with the surgeons recommendation and for my piece of mind ; it is gone. She informed me I would have to just wait until the surgeon or another doctor is available. as she felt it was unnessesary.&nbsp; A dear loved one shared a video by Dr. Paul Staments on how taking Turkey Tail mushrooms while also taking anti-cancel meds helped his stage four (4) breast cancer mother heal. I decided to try just the Turkey Tail mushroom powder extract. I did a teaspoon into either my coffee, smoothie or sprikled on my food. After a few months, I did not feel any breasts cysts..</span></p>
