Top Reddit reviews mentioning Breast Cancer books:
Holy shit ... I bet Hal Abelson would be proud that someone finally took his Turtle Geometry to the next level.
100 years ago, if you had breast cancer, they’d pretty much cut your entire chest off.
We’ve gone from that to using the body’s immune system to target and kill stage 4 cancer cells. That’s a huge improvement imo.
If you're looking for a book to read, The Emperor of All Maladies is fascinating.
The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer
It reads almost like a mystery novel even though you know how it will end, weirdly enough. I highly recommend it to anyone who has been touched by cancer.
There are the ones that are real and the cons... but I would recommend you a book “Your Souls plan” from Robert Schwartz . It has helped me a lot and has opened my eyes to an entire different way to see everything https://www.amazon.com/Your-Souls-Plan-Discovering-Meaning/dp/1583942726 I hope it can help you too.
Yes, grade is correct. Not a mistake, so much as just typing/thinking too fast before leaving for work this morning.
I should tell you, he was diagnosed with an Astrocytoma, but WHO reclassified tumors after his diagnosis and he was later re-diagnosed as an Oligodendroglioma. For 6 years we thought it was an Astrocytoma. When he had a reoccurrence last year they had to do a second biopsy and we found out it's an Oligodendroglioma. Grade 2.
Regardless, you have every reason to have hope. A positive attitude and believing that you still have life to live is just as important, if not more so, than chemo and radiation. This book got us through the first few years which are the hardest. https://www.amazon.com/Anticancer-New-Life-David-Servan-Schreiber/dp/0670021644
Hopefully that link works. I'm new to reddit and don't post very much.
> I can't use anything with hormones involved
Localized estrogen (local where it stays in your vagina) does not carry any risks....in that it does not travel throughout your body like estrogen pills/patches do, therefore there's no link for breast cancer risk.
Also have you read Estrogen Matters? Written by a Medical Oncologist, whose wife had breast cancer.
First I have to say that I'm not quite clear on why it's any of his business if you want to go with HRT?
anyway maybe this book could help https://www.amazon.com/Estrogen-Matters-Hormones-Menopause-Well-Being/dp/0316481203
I don't know what your threshold for "wordy" is but it's a good one imo.
didnt know about the movie but i will watch it later today..
are you aware of https://www.amazon.com/Who-Built-Moon-Christopher-Knight/dp/1842931636 ?
who built the moon.. a book by christopher knight. speculative of course but a fun read
Some thoughts:
> or he wishes only to live like the beast, neither weary nor amid pains, and he wants it in vain, because he does not will it as the animal does.
On the note of forgetting, I believe Zen Buddhism has something to offer:
> “I have lived with several Zen masters -- all of them cats.” ― Eckhart Tolle
> When Roshi Fukushima was with us, we always sensed that he was with us. He was not distracted, not thinking about other things, not preoccupied. One of his secrets was years upon years of Zen meditation. He had learned to concentrate his mind and be in the moment. Being in the moment did not mean, for him, neglecting time. He could anticipate the future and remember the past like the rest of us. When he was with us in our home, he knew when it was time to leave so the kids could go to bed. But he was in the moment in the sense of being present, being here, like a cat. Open Horizons
Nietzsche continues: >By contrast, the human being resists the large and ever increasing burden of the past, which pushes him down or bows him over.
Nietzsche talks about Cynicism and forgetfulness as potential solutions. I think Nietzsche's own "Amor Fati" is another effective solution. If we can say yes to our past, it will not burden us. And we do indeed find a similar doctrine in Proclus' view of providence - in turn traceable back to Plato. This allows us to get rid of the weight wearing us down. The teaching has later been adopted by the New Age community.

Also this book is recommended - https://www.amazon.com/Estrogen-Matters-Hormones-Menopause-Well-Being/dp/0316481203/ref=sr_1_1?crid=DXS24PIC71F6&keywords=estrogen+matters&qid=1641009769&sprefix=estrogen+matter%2Caps%2C148&sr=8-1/
If you are seeing an oncologist you might want to lower starches (which are chains of sugar that saliva begins to break down in the mouth, brown has more fiber but...). https://www.amazon.com/Cancer-Code-Revolutionary-Understanding-Wellness/dp/0062894005
If you can buy this book, I would highly recommend it. It's a vegan nutrition manual written by registered dietitians, and it gives dietary recommendations for children. If you can show your parents that literally dietitians have okayed veganism and show them the meal plan suggestions, maybe you can prove to them that it's healthy? Also, there are a lot of great YouTube videos about the health benefits of veganism. Mic the Vegan is pretty good and goes into the science, so that could be something to share too.
Also, can you help with the grocery shopping or cooking? Maybe you can ask for oat milk or soy yogurt, then buy a lot of vegetables, whole grains, potatoes, etc... That's all really healthy and nutritious, so they shouldn't object to that.
One other thing to consider is lying. I know it's a bit unorthodox (so do it at your own discretion and never put your life in danger), but you could lie to your parents and tell them that eating meat or dairy makes you feel sick. Lactose intolerance is a real condition, so you could pretend to have it (if you don't already), then use that to try to get nondairy alternatives into your diet.
If none of this works, just do the best that you can. It's not your fault your parents are so controlling. Thank you for trying so hard to go vegan. I admire your bravery and compassion! You'll be an awesome vegan someday.
Your Soul's Plan: Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born https://www.amazon.com/dp/1583942726/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_DM99APAGRW97KXNJE15M
This book is excellent and very much on the same subject!
Symptoms crop up much earlier than expected, and those symptoms are ones that are rarely recognized as being due to hormone fluctuations (peri). Not like the classic 'hot flashes' that we all hear about, but more odd things, like random joint inflammation and pain that comes up out of nowhere. In my 40's I felt like I was constantly going to my doctor for things that had no explanation. No reason was ever found, but it's only in hindsight that almost all of it was likely due to fluctuating/declining hormones.
Not everyone experiences irregular periods as the first symptom. I was regular right up to 55, but had other symptoms long before that.
Vaginal atrophy is experienced by 80% of women, and we don't talk about this.
Estrogen Matters. Sure menopause is a natural process, one in which we will all experience, but going without estrogen affects just about every aspect of our mind and body. (Recommend everyone to read the book <em>Estrogen Matters</em> and The Menopause Manifesto by Dr. Jen Gunter)
Read our [Menopause Wiki](/r/Menopause/wiki/index)
Emperor of All Maladies is one of the best books I’ve read in a while (won the nonfiction Pulitzer in 2011). Follows our understanding and treatment of cancer from the earliest traces of it to more or less present day. Extremely informative and exceptionally written.
They knew what cancer was even before then. The ancients knew it--how it got it's name, because the cells look like crabs, hence Cancer. As in Astrology. If you want to know of its history yucan read The Emperor of All Maladies by Siddartha Mukherjee.

Am terminat de citit the cancer code, o carte despre.... well, cancer. scrisa de un doctor canadian, si explica foarte pe larg cam tot ce se stie despre boala, ce s-a incercat in tratarea ei in ultimii 100-200 ani, niste chestii foarte contra-intuitive si chiar mindblowing despre cum functioneaza, ca nu e deloc ceva random si intamplator, ci are un mecanism foarte bine definit si o logica deplina in felul in care apare, creste si se raspandeste, niste sfaturi mai generale despre cum sa-l previi (ca de vindecat in linii mari, inca n-avem habar, doar tratat uneori si cu costuri f mari), etc
per total un read f bun, interesant. a, si oncos inseamna umflatura in greaca, deci oncologul e literally 'doctorul de umflături' :))
There would likely not be a stage before photoreception (in the development of eyes), and the organism certainly doesn't need to know light exists. A random mutation would have made some cell(s) respond to being struck by photons; initially this probably would likely have conferred little advantage, but also would bear little (if any) cost. A further mutation that resulted in a behavioural response to the light striking these cells would confer a considerable advantage and would be strongly selected for. If you have doubts about the likelihood of two mutations occurring as I've described, consider that essentially every case of cancer is caused by several mutations (source) in the same individual in the same cell line. The eye example above would have thousands of years.
Consider this: do you know how to digest an apple? do you know how to convert photons into a recognizable image? do you know how to synthesize insulin from amino acids? Of course not! But your body performs these, and many other, complex functions without you needing to "know" how to do them. Evolution doesn't work by the organism "knowing" what it needs, the mutating to get it. Further explanation can be provided by me and others here, if you have other questions or want more clarification.
📚Evidence-based nutrition books recommendations:
I’m glad at least somebody has found this post helpful; I’ve put a lot of energy into creating it & I’ve been downvoted. 😊
Also this book is extremely helpful for those on a whole foods plant-based diet:
And, I‘ve read both: "How Not to Die: Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease", by Michael Greger
In the post I’ve mentioned both complete food sources of complete protein & examples of complementary ones because you’d be surprised how many vegans don’t eat eat varied enough to get sufficient protein on a daily basis without the use of protein powders.
i think that the moon is a semi-artificial construct.. a space station or ship that began its life as a rocky body. SOMEONE DROVE IT HERE AND PARKED IT!
i'm not even trolling, it might sound as weird as flat earth but its much easier to argue. heres a link to a book indicating that this topic is being discussed on the fringes.
https://www.amazon.com/Who-Built-Moon-Christopher-Knight/dp/1842931636
due to the sizes of earth and moon, both the capture and ejection models have serious trouble.. then there's the STRANGE orbit that brings us a precise eclipse. also TLPs..
Well have you actually tried a plant-based diet? Or are you parroting shit you heard somewhere from other people who don't wanna give up meat for the greater good?
It's actually possible to have a lower fiber plant-based diet, of for some reason you needed that, which again, fiber is actually really good for people in general.
Veganism is not a diet!
Check out this book. It has tons of info with the scientific references to back it up to show you that plant-based diets are awesome. https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Vegan-Reference-Plant-Based-Comprehensive/dp/1570672970
Consider reading The Cancer Code by Dr Jason Fung. I haven't read it (I have read two of his other books) but it is about the dietary link to certain cancers and may ultimately lead to this being a smaller shift in your lifestyle vs and end of the road. I am not a doctor, and based on his other books he won't tell you fix your diet and fuck the specialist, more likely fix your diet, monitor with your specialists, and see if by cutting off the "food" supply to the cancer you inhibit its growth.
Good luck.

Normally when you ask a vegan a question, you just get yelled at for not knowing anything. It actually sucks and it’s why I hate vegans. (Except one)
Start here, this book has pretty good reviews.
There are books about this too:
https://www.amazon.com/Who-Built-Moon-Christopher-Knight/dp/1842931636
I read that long ago. Nothing about the moon makes any sense. The book has a lot of scientific facts that show why its not a natural object.
Then you learn that saturn has a huge 6 sided hexagon at the pole and you go "hmm". :)
So I feel you’re moving off topic and your points verge on trolling as you have read some junk science or came to invalid conclusions yourself, likely from YouTube videos or anecdotes. You can search the sub for answers to your points as they come up a lot. Animal meat is not a required element for human nutrition or health.
However, some recommended reading on eating as a vegan should also help. The best book on the subject comes from a couple of experts, titled Becoming Vegan. Perhaps viewing something like Dominion will also help; you can post back when you spot the animals you’re talking about.
I am so very sorry for your loss.
Dr. Jason Fung has a new book coming out in a few weeks discussing cancer and insulin. Hopefully that will help to raise awareness among doctors as well as the general population.
Dr. Ben Bikman links insulin resistance to cancer, PCOS, diabetes, NAFLD and Alzheimer's. Why We Get Sick: The Hidden Epidemic at the Root of Most Chronic Disease―and How to Fight It
The doctors who treat PCOS with BC do patients a huge disfavor in not addressing the underlying health driver and for almost all overweight and up to 75% lean PCOS, it is insulin and the response of the ovaries to persistent, high levels that causes the symptoms of PCOS.
I too wish I had known much of this sooner, before I had my kids and had high insulin during my pregnancies, my lack of metabolic healing prior definitely affected them and their health and was likely related to pregnancy complications. I had midwives and a specialist and none of them linked it to my vegetarian diet high in carbs or to my PCOS. I did not have GD, that they would have understood and likely suggested inositol.
All we can do is try to move toward health now. I genuinely think so many just do not know. Fung is a nephrologist so is very familiar with the signs of the effects of insulin. He is working to get the info out across disciplines, out of medical silos. He also put out a book on PCOS last spring. It was weird timing with everything shutting down so it did not get a ton of attention/roll out, but it was helpful. My local library had it. https://www.amazon.com/PCOS-Plan-Prevent-Polycystic-Syndrome/dp/1771644605
Hopefully knowledge will continue to spread. Dermatologists might be a front line in spotting insulin resistance.
I am so sorry that your father's doctor was not better informed. Hugs to you!
Read this and never look at the moon the same again: https://www.amazon.com/Who-Built-Moon-Christopher-Knight/dp/1842931636/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=who+built+the+moon&qid=1601908293&sr=8-1
