okay, now that I have my old post moved, on to my current update.

Oct. 28th 2009

So, I've had several changes since my last post. The chemo is over. done. I quit. It was horrible and I felt horrible. In fact I felt worse on it than before I started it. IMO that's not fixing anything and and I'm going back to my suppliments to control my arthritis, so my program will be changing up a bit.

This past month I haven't seen any huge growth spurt and I only have a handful of days left in this cycle for any miracle growth to occur. It's really odd though since I have spent the entire month with very tender tingling breast. You would think if that were a marker for action then I would have it. I did notice more development in the surounding breast tissue, above and below, which is noticable in a bra, but no number changes on the measuring tape. I'm still sitting at 37 1/2.

I'm thinking it could be my own fault though. When I quit the chemo cold turkey, I suddenly began packing on pounds in a matter of days. seriously! I added 10 pounds to my weight in about 4 days! I was beginning to panic. I seem to have gotten a handle on it and it's beginning to even out, but watching my weight the way I've had to may have messed up any potential major growth spurt for the month.

I was thinking earlier this week about BB and came to the conclusion that right now, even if I was told I wouldn't grow another cm, I would continue to take it. It's done such incredible things for my hormone balance for now. It's been really nice not having to deal with the heavy pms symptoms for the last few months, which has been such a pleasant surprise in this process, that said, I'll quit prattling on and get to the good stuff....

My current program. I've added a few things and will discuss those as I go.

1 BB pill first thing in the morning with water

10:00a.m
3 grape seed extracts(for my arthritis) but geat for winkles also!
2 L-tyrosine
1 kelp
1 cayenne capsule ( added for metabolism this week after weight gain)

3:00 p.m
1 cayenne capsule
1 folic acid (this is required for recovery from chemo)

6:00 p.m
2 multi vitamin
2 fish oil tablets( arthritis)
1 cayenne capsule

10:00p.m

1 BB pill


So that's where I am now. I've been doing some research on a diet called thermogenic dieting. I'm not looking at it so much for the weight loss effects, but to understand the foods and spices better that it is claiming raises the body temperature which speeds up the metabolism. (hence the thyroid also I would think)
Anyways, I will probably post more on this after I get it a little more organized.

Good Luck Girls!
