Inflammatory breast cancer or mastitis?

Hi James,

For the past few months, my mother has been having inflammation in her chest. It's tender to the touch, but she refused to go get a biopsy because some friend of hers told her "she could die" from a biopsy. She's also been having a low-grade fever, which indicates infection. She has had several cavities for well over a decade, but refused to clear that up, too, since she's frightened of dentists, needles, etc., and pretty much anything that might cause slight discomfort. She had a heart attack last year -- she's in her early 40s -- probable due to horrible diet, stress, or even the cavities. It didn't help that to deal with insomnia, toothaches, etc., she's been chronically using Advil and Tylenol. Since last year, however, she's been eating much better.

Anyway -- that's the background. Today, she's going in for a biopsy, but I'm not sure how long it will take for the results to come in. If it's inflammatory breast cancer, I'm scared that, after several months of not dealing with it (except for some extremely overpriced herbal and other tinctures, like "Carrera," bioavailable copper solution, anti-inflammatories, and immune system boosters), it might have spread to the rest of her body. I've read your write-up on cancer and, if this is what she has, I will give her chaga, turkey tail, the herbal formula you invented, minerals (zinc, selenium, etc.), on top of whatever else she decides to do. I will add considerable doses of suma, as recommended for Breast Cancer by Michael Tierra in "The Way Of Herbs." I'm not sure if she will go into surgery or chemo, but I will definitely make sure to give her the herbs, which would protect her somewhat from the negative effects of chemo. Is there anything else you can think of for this particular kind of cancer?

But, most doctors think it's probably mastitis. Still, I've read you can't be 100% sure until you get the biopsy, so I'm not comforted yet. If it is mastitis, what do you recommend? I have no idea what to do with something like this.

Thank you,
Alex.
