You’re welcome to ask about anything you’re navigating - treatment side effects, supplements, diet, or the grey areas where conventional and integrative care overlap.

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could ask someone who understands both worlds,” this is your chance. If you’re feeling a bit shy, you can ask your question anonymously using this form.

Please note I’ll be sharing general, educational insights, NOT individual medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

This edition’s questions:

  1. Can invasive lobular cancer just stop growing if you use lots of meaningful interventions (but no surgery, chemo or radiotherapy)?

  2. Why is no one told the truth about the side effects of Zoladex? No one I've spoken to was properly prepared for it and it makes the whole experience even worse.
