What happened, in summary

Iris was in her 50s when she was diagnosed with 100% hormone-dependent breast cancer in February 2021. Because her mother had died of ovarian cancer and her aunt had breast cancer, Iris had already taken prevention seriously. Genetic testing at 43 had been negative, and at 45 she had both ovaries and fallopian tubes removed to reduce risk. She continued yearly mammography, ultrasound, and breast MRI. In January 2021, mammography and ultrasound did not show the tumor, which was near the sternum at the edge of the breast, but MRI found it 1 week later. Iris chose surgery to remove the tumor in March 2021. The operation went well, but 15 days later she needed another procedure because 1 mm of affected tissue remained. Her team then recommended 25 radiation sessions followed by 5 years of hormone therapy. Iris became uncomfortable with that plan and chose a metabolic approach with association support. She used garcinia cambodgia, sodium alpha-lipoic acid, artemisinin cycles, diet changes inspired by ketogenic eating, and DIM. She also focused on yoga, meditation, psychology, stress reduction, and physical activity. Later examinations showed no trace of cancer, and Iris continued to focus on lifestyle, monitoring, and rebuilding trust in her body.
