Hello,
Been to the breast cancer site, it was of little (mostly no) help.
I have a client who has had breast cancer, now cancer free. Takes hormone blocker, Buspar and several other psychopharmochological medications. She suffers severe anxiety attacks and chronic (at times severe) depression.
I suggested she have her hormone levels checked (she is 55 yrs of age). Results of blood test show she is in major menopause.
She cannot take horomone replacements. Many herbals do not mix well with rx meds and/or should not be used by post cancer pt's who should take great caution re. hormones.
This poor lady is suffering immensly, missing work, crying, worrying, the list goes on. Her Dr.'s merely up her behavior meds or add new meds while increasing her current meds.
I am using hypnosis therapy, humor, yoga, writing, exercise, breath work, etc. But, I would also like to know if any here is knowledgeable re., herbs, teas, diet, food, that would help and is compatible with her medications.
Thanks you for your help!!!!
