About Breast Cancer: Modest Green Garnish Helps Fight Breast Cancer

If you can't see this email, click here

Breast Cancer Breast Cancer Symptoms / Diagnosis Treatment Daily Life From Pam Stephan, your Guide to Breast Cancer What's green, fluffy, crunchy, and beats up on cancer cells? Hint: you see this a lot as a garnish, dried or fresh. But it turns out to be more than just a gourmet decoration. Celery and Parsley Help Fight Breast Cancer Celery is one of those veggies that we used to fill with pimento cheese and serve as an appetizer, or chop up with potato salad. Parsley goes great as a garnish and in tabbouleh. Both these plants contain a flavonoid that, in lab studies, causes breast cancer cells to shrink and die. Hooray for celery! Will it be the alternative to chemo, in the future?

About Breast Cancer: Safe Way to do Internal Breast Radiation

If you can't see this email, click here

Breast Cancer Breast Cancer Symptoms / Diagnosis Treatment Daily Life From Pam Stephan, your Guide to Breast Cancer Instead of showering your breast with radiation from outside, it may be possible to put the treatment right where its needed: inside your breast. But it has to be done safely.
