A 54-years-female patient diagnosed with left side Invasive ductal carcinoma Grade 2 in 2018. ER positive by 80%. The modified radical mastectomy was done. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy was also done. Started Endocrine therapy Tamoxifene 10mg with normal mammography in followup for 3.5 years... But due to vaginal bleeding, TAH+BSSO was done back in January 2023. Switched to another endocrine therapy Letrozole 2.5mg after it.

Luckily, CT Scan of Chest abdomen and pelvis was negative with 4mm stable lung nodule in lower left lobule of lung. PET Scan in February 16th, 2024 revealed the same as of bone scan.

Now how is pts general condition??
Dear Dr. Sushma… Generally its backache oftenly and headache sometimes. Overall I am concerned as I have heard from Sidhu ji about Ayurved’s benefits. Even being a doctor I cannot trust the medical professionals because they are just doing business and they only predict some years instead of curing the disease.
Thank you Dev.Sharif for your honest message… ayurveda focuses on curing the disease from root cause rather then treating, definitely you can go ahead with sidhujis method meanwhile if you want any medicines from ayurvedic side, this platform is always there for you

In the context of metastatic breast cancer, it’s crucial to understand that Ayurveda can provide supportive care, but it cannot replace conventional cancer treatments. Ayurvedic principles emphasize maintaining balance across body and mind, which might help manage your symptoms and improve overall quality of life. Given your ongoing medical treatment, coordination with your oncologist is vital. Here are some Ayurvedic-inspired suggestions to support you:
First, ayurveda views cancer as a deep imbalance in doshas, predominantly kapha and vata. It’s essential to address these disruptions. Keep a vata-pacifying diet – warm, cooked foods and nutritive vegetables like sweet potatoes or carrots. Drink ginger tea regularly to aid digestion and soothe inflammation.
Additionally, Rasayana therapy, meant for rejuvenation, can be considered. Ingredients like Ashwagandha and Guduchi are often recommended for their immunomodulatory properties. Before using these, discuss with your medical team to ensure no interactions.
Consider gentle yoga and pranayama exercises to improve prana (life energy). Gentle asanas combined with breathwork like Anuloma Viloma can reduce stress and improve breathing capacity, essential given the lung involvement.
For pain relief, Ayurvedic massage using warm oil like Mahanarayan oil can be beneficial. Gently rub on affected areas to help lessen the pain naturally.
Regular meditation can be pivotal for mental and emotional well-being. Practice mindfulness or mantra chanting to keep stress at bay, as stress can exacerbate dosha imbalances and symptoms.
Finally, avoid self-medication with Ayurvedic or herbal remedies without consulting your healthcare provider, especially since you’re on significant pharmaceutical regimens. It’s also critical to have emergency medical contacts easily accessible, should any symptoms suddenly worsen. Keep your healthcare providers informed about any alternative therapies you start to ensure safety and efficacy.
