Suggest Treatment For Breast Cancer
I am almost a two year breast cancer survivor and would also like to try garcinia cambogia. I have gained a lot of weight since chemo put me in menopause and I started taking tamoxifen. I eat whole foods and excercise but nothing is helping me lose the weight and am very scared that the cancer will come back. I know that weight puts me at risk. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

hello dear. I have gone through your details. You have a hormone sensitive tumor for which you are on tamoxifen and prognosis in such tumor is very good. I mean, chances of coming back are very low. don't get worried about your weight. Do check your thyroid profile as low thyroid levels are associated with weight gain. Moreover eat more of salads, whole grains, cut your fats, meat and sugar containing meals. that is gonna help you. Hope you now understand.
