Great news!! Not worrying too much is an absolute super power. I'm so happy for you and can't wait to hear what the doctors have to say. You got this. ❤
@@NatashaFitnessYogaPilatesFantastic update and you're super power and attitude are inspiring! ❤ New subscriber... besides keto have you considered adding a targeted metabolic protocol? Researcher T Seyfried is phenomenal and so is best selling author and stage IV CA survivor (circa 1990's) J McLelland.
@@celticsunise4everhonestly, it’s all over my head. I’m just doing the best I can with what I’m learning. I do watch a lot of Dr Seyfried and others. I’m taking berberine as well. I don’t have access to the other stuff they talk about but I’m feeling great and with this pet scan, I don’t see what more I can do. I’ll just keep monitoring and accessing.
@@NatashaFitnessYogaPilates Natasha, you're doing a fantastic job, and your humble positive attitude is inspiring! ❤️ Berberine is an efficacious herb for a number of chronic conditions, and the clinical research is exciting. I'm a retired HC professional and find functional medicine as well as metabolic approaches fascinating. While reversing disease and allowing the body to heal at a root level is often complex, it holds extreme promise for so many...
Sweet Natasha! My heart is singing for you, your husband and your young kids! This is wonderful news! Thank you LORD! I’m thrilled that you feel good! Your videos are amazing! Keep doing what you’re doing.. you got this girl! Oh I’m awaiting a keto cookbook after cancer. I have a fantastic prognosis.. but want to be healthy like you as I recover after surgery and now radiation. You are my inspiration!
I am so happy to hear your good news, Natasha! The things you are doing, are working. You seem like you have a close connection to your intuition, and the universe. I wish you continued good outcomes! You are a powerful woman.❤❤
You are a warrior!! Thank you for sharing your journey!! I’m a 53 year male with a new C dx!! So lost but seeing your video gives me hope!! Keep fighting beautiful lady!
I am sooo happy for you!!!!! Great news!!!! I am here finishing radiation and I will definitely be starting keto diet…I have gained sooo much weight after chemo and radiation has also limited my movements (week1-4 of radiation was good, week 5 blistering started), but my body is definitely telling me to loose weight! Sending positive vibes for more good news for your oncologist appointment! 💜
As someone with medical knowledge about your type of cancer, the scan may mean that you have a complete response to the treatment. Those cells may lie there dormant and just wake up, but now they are dead due to the powerful combination of CDK4/6 inhibitor and aromatase inhibitors. I surely think the ketogenic diet contributes to this as you are in therapeutic ranges of ketone, cancer would have a very hard time getting enough glucose as they dont use ketone very efficiently. Congratulations, and I wish you the best.
Wow that’s all so great! I’m happy for you. Keep up the good work on healing your body. I have a question, what made you’re doc lower the kiskali dose both times? Was it the same reasoning both times? I’m newly on Kiskali and I have heard many ladies say they have to lower the dose, makes me question why we are all being stated on such a high dose. Anyway just curious 🧐
The first few months they are monitoring to see how much your body can tolerate. My neutrophil count would drop to neutropenia levels so they would drop my dosage. They follow a protocol and have you stop the medication until your numbers go up and then lower the dosage. I still just take one a day. I’m not sure if my size has anything to do with it either. I’m 102lbs and barely 5’1”.
Such great news!! I’m so happy for you! I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Can you please tell me more about your keto diet I would like to try it.
There are so many recourses right here on RU-vid. I cut out all carbs (well as low as I can go). I try to stick to under 30g a day. Closer to 20 probably. I post a lot of my food in my Instagram stories and have a highlight called ketogenic. You can find me @natashaswinter I’ve been vegetarian since I was 16 but I do eat fish so I’ve been doing it pescatarian.
I'm SOOOOOO freaking happy for u. Idk if they'd repair a really small asymptomatic umbilical hernia. I believe you would have to go under Gen anesthesia if they did though
@@TheBubbleBia thanks! Just to keep doing what I’m doing because it’s working. The scan was great. I got to see the images/ video and everything looked normal and healthy 🥳
I have 1000% admiration for you on your keto journey!! I can't keto for long; it crushes my soul. "I like big breads, and I cannot lie! You other brothers want some rye? When a girl walks in with an itty bitty cake, a round pie ready to bake..." 😅Not to dis the keto, and I mean this in the kindest possible way: _cancer happens._ How you eat, how you live, it happens, and it's NOT YOUR FAULT! You didn't eat (or not eat) the wrong foods. Cancer just happens. If we live long enough, we're all gonna get it. There's not more of it now, just better diagnostics than before. Cancer is a part of nature. It's not you or anybody else's fault unless you had parents who dressed you in asbestos, made you brush your teeth with radium toothpaste (a real product that glowed in the dark - for kids), and blew cigarette smoke up your ass for the first 20 years of your life, but even those parents didn't know any better. My MBC mets are in my lungs and bones, diagnosed in 2020. I had good luck with RSO between scans (60 grams in 90 days, not the clear oil, but the thick dark tar oil), but I ended up doing so well I got cocky. I went for a breast reduction, which led to an antibiotic resistant staph infection, long story short, I was off targeted therapy (Ibrance) for almost 4 months, and now the progression is all my own fault - had I never gotten that surgery, right? LOL, I flew my boobs too close to the sun, I guess. This past PET scan changed EVERYTHING, whole new treatment now. Fun, fun, fun, fun, fuuuun. (Not really. Just replace all that fun with a different "f" word. Anyway, they just started me on Truqap, a new targeted therapy med. They had me quit Anastrozole for Faslodex. They're keeping me on Lupron. I'm so tired of treatment, but giving up isn't an option for me. Keto before PET is only to get a better reading. My cancer, so far as I've been told, eats ESTROGEN, not sugar. Obesity can increase your cancer risks, but breast cancer doesn't eat sugar. I'd check with your doctor about that again if I were you. I could be wrong, I've been wrong before, but I'm pretty sure my cancer doesn't eat sugar(?). There's a mushroom called "turkey tail" I keep hearing good things about, haven't tried it, but inflammation & immune system are what it manages. I never read my scans. I let the doctor tell me. My mom was an LPN in ICU for over 25 years, and she couldn't even understand a scan reading... I don't wanna set myself up for a misunderstanding. The modules in my lungs... I need a MEDICAL DEGREE to see what the doctor is pointing at!! DON'T do surgery if you can help it! NO NO!! We are at higher risk for ALL the surgical complications!! I don't mean to project, you look healthier than me, and I'm in my 50s, but I had to learn the hard way, and now the cancer is in my spine, and they worry for spine fracture, and I was doing so well last summer!! Please be gentle to yourself. You know your body best, but please be careful where surgery is concerned now that you've been diagnosed with cancer. If I could, I'd send you all the strength and perseverance I can muster! You look awesome, you sound great, and you appear full of positive energy, which goes a long way!! I love it! *TLDR:* There is no cure for metastatic breast cancer, and I mean that in the nicest way I can say it, ❤🩹 though there isn't a nice way. It's a fact we must live with. We will not be "cancer free" once we're metastatic until we find a CURE for stage 4. #StageFourNeedsMore!!
it is a hard truth but it is the truth. There will always be that one cell that starts it all over again somewhere. I am glad she is feeling positive. @Sarappreciates you are being kind because she needs to hear what she is facing. I wish you both good treatments that aren't too hard on you. I wish you both periods of peace and normality.
@@NatashaFitnessYogaPilates I mean this with the sincerest, gentlest and nicest way I can when i repeat, #Stage4NeedsMore. We have no cure for stage 4 anything, and we don't know of anyone who can repeat a test in a clinical setting for which KETOSIS makes anybody go into remission for any cancer on any kind of TESTABLE level of confidence. We gotta repeat the studies before we start using them willy nilly. I don't pretend I can "explain them" so long as my oncology team can't repeat that remission in me... THINK PLEASE! There's billion$ to be made in finding remissoin or a cure to cancer, any cancer at all, even just one cancer! If this was true, the entire news media would be SHOOK to its core, scrambling over itself to scoop this story first. Please don't replace your treatment with Keto. It's your life, your treatment, and I guess it's awful of me to say "please don't" So I've been told. But this sounds so effing DANGEROUS to spread among a really vulnerable community looking for magic answers and miracles. I believe in the science. I don't think anyone's hiding some secret sugar-free cancer solution from anyone. We'd have known about this thousands of years ago if it truly worked.
@@NatashaFitnessYogaPilates there are cancers that are treatable and do go into remission. We seem to be good at treating childhood cancers and they are often cured. Many cancers can be gone for long periods of time. I think usually blood cancers mostly. Correct me anyone if I am wrong. Some people with Lymphoma for istance can have stem cell transfusions or receive them from family members or people that have a good match. Then their bodies can remain cancer free for many years. Some people can have more than one kind of cancer at the same time. When a cancer like breast or ovarian pop up in other body parts then it has spread and they stage it as 4. Once it has left the origional tumor area it will come back again and again. It may be treated and it might be dormant but it always comes back somewhere. I am glad you are feeling good now and hope you feel healthy for a long time. Don't stop treatments. Keep up with your scans so you always know what is going on that you can't see. Enjoy feeling good. Let your drs tell you the results of your scans. I know you want to read it as soon as you can but understanding medical lingo is difficult at best. Let them build a good team for you so you feel safe. I agree no surgeries unless it is part of your treatment. Eat a healthy diet.
@@NatashaFitnessYogaPilates I love you, I really do! ❤ But I know what going off treatment does to my body even without sugar. I'm diabetic, I take Metformin and Glimepiride to manage my blood sugars, and I';m doing well thus far. I've lost another 7 pounds again, I';m losing slowly, I've lost nearly 60 pounds now. I get into Ketosis when prepping for my PET scans because PET scans love sugars a little too much, thus can throw off the test, but my cancer itself eats ESTROGEN. I also have it on good authority by doctors here on RU-vid saying sugars don't "feed cancer" the way you seem to say. Sugar is relatively negligible in the way cancer can absorb "nutrients." My cancer requires me to stop all production of estrogen, so they put me in menopause. My bone and lung mets are responding well to hormone and targeted therapies working together. I went off treatment because I was doing so well that they thought i could have breast reduction, and I've made videos about what happened to me by being off Ibrance for 4 months, and the antibiotic-resistant infection after that prevented me from going back on my meds as scheduled! Now I have to take this new drug called Truqap that I'm not even supposed to touch with my bare hands, and I get infusions for osteoporosis because of my new spine lesions!! Whyyyyy would you play with your cancer treatment on untested, unproven glucose misinformation? Please don't hurt yourself! Be gentle to yourself. My hair hasn't fallen out after 4 years of targeted therapy. Heather Jose has been at this since 1996, and she's my age now with stage 4 cancer. YOU AREN'T NECESSARILY DYING! It's okay to go on treatment, make plans, and LIVE. You may be a THRIVER! (people who live 20+ years with this disease.) TLDR: I live WITH the cancer, not for it, not against it, just with it. I manage it and avoid all surgeries from now on whenever possible. You are strong. I'm not trying to say what to do, but *if this sugar thing was true, my doctors would prescribe it.*
Definitely not a myth the problem is we still make glucose even if we don’t eat it but I do think it is helpful to get your metabolic health in order when fighting this. There is a lot of research that shows it helps. Watch anything my Dr Thomas Seyfried. Being in ketosis has so many healthy benefits too. I’ve truly never felt better in many ways!
Nope. They said I don’t really need to worry about that. I’m super healthy and workout a lot. I just added bone strengthening vitamins. (Like K, D etc)
Look where? It would say on the pet scan review? It didn’t say that. Sounds like there are still some nodules there but they have shrunk and they didn’t light up. I’ll see what my oncologist says at my appointment Thursday. 🙏🏼
