I do still have an oncologist. I've been in remission for just over 12 months. I will ask him when I see him for my yearly check in, probably in the next couple of months (hard to get an appointment unless in treatment). I know that breasts cancer is the thing I have to monitor most---even more than the original cancer returning.

Thank you to both of your for your input. I guess I lack a lot of knowledge on the biology of this. It would probably help to research it.

Just my humble opinion. Why rock the boat with herbs? You said your in balance now and as far as I knew so was I when I started N.b.e then as the years went by I fell out of balance. To the point I thought I was peri menopause and this was with very mild herbs, PM is a mixed bag and we've posted seen witnessed a lot of mixed results over the years both good and NOT good.

With tissue expansion the medical use it anyway when prepping for implants but I can't profess to know now.. I believed they implanted something under the skin that stretched it out not full blown pulling out existing tissue. Always why I've been on the fence with noogle but that might be an avenue to discuss with your onco.

Bobby on this board has some massage/diet links which worked out well for some members which is arOund plant based "vixxy" I think her name is. I guess while plant based isn't ideal for most I could imagine maybe it's supplying a dlverse amount of nutrients supporting hormones and body function. Maybe something you had/are considering post C diagnosis. Ps I think given the depletion of the soil worldwide now we can all benefit from a good wholefood multi vit/min supp. 
Surferjoe has a list of foods to support this.

In the thread beneath this some of us girls have just been discussing perhaps starting up another chemical free, supportive nutrient anti cancer thread. Hopefully it will come together. 
Also myself and a couple other members created the "non-herbal nbe" thread under frequently asked questions section (from memory) perhaps you can stick your head in there and see if anything speaks. Haven't even checked it myself in a long time and I'm kind of where you are at. Not wanting to mess up hormones etc
