Have Breast Cancer And Peripheral Arterial Disease. Taking Coumadin. Other Medicine?
Hi. My name is a Patsy. I have been going thru Sm Cell Ductal Breast Cancer/Pos on FISH Test, not genetic. Stage 1. I Have been going thru treatment since Aug 2010. This month they took me off my letrozole because I'm not tolerating it very well. I also have Occlusive Pheripherial Arterial Disease due to survice in the Gulf War in 1991 and am on Coumidin for life. What other type of medication can I possibly take if my counts go back up by the end of the month. Im suppose to take the Femera for 5 yrs. I've only been on it for a yr. Help! Any suggestions?

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Since , you have not mentioned the type of breast carcinoma , whether it was benign or malignant?
At present ,what is the condition of peripheral arterial disease.
Also mention the complete report of blood count.
This is not a complete history .
Good luck.

Thanks for your query. Please take all those medicines which are prescribed to you by your doctor.
1. There is a documented proof that antioxidants can help and modify the course of the disease. There are more than 4000 antioxidants available but I would advise you to take natural antioxidants. There are two types of antioxidants water soluble and fat soluble .For you I advised to take combination of water and fat soluble antioxidants.
2. All the citrus fruits like orange, lemon etc contain plenty of antioxidants.
3. All carotene containing yellow pigments are also a very good source of antioxidants
4. Vitamin A and Vitamin D are also very strong antioxidants.
I am sure that after some period you will start getting better.
Hoping that you will get benefit from my advice.
My prayers are with you.
Thanks and best regards.
