Please please help need advice on surgery etc this might seriously hurt me either way?

I am going for prep-admission testing today for a lumpectomy with an aggressive breast cancer.


This is the only traditional treatment I am doing and I definitely want it


I have been delayed in getting the surgery due to drs actions and their schedules, vacation etc for nearly 3 months and have waited about 4 weeks for my surgery scheduled next friday (9 to 10 days from now)

I just was told one cannot take vitamins and herbs and I was taking a lot trying to help my illness and I have also been taking large amounts of garlic mostly cooked (I am talking 2 or 3 big heads of garlic with each bulb consisting of several cloves of garlic). so a lot maybe 40 or 50 or cloves. I am eating so much it radiates from my pores even a day later badly.

I just found out garlic is one of the herbs to not take before surgery as it can cause bleeding complications. All the sites said do not take for 2 weeks but I just found this out. Even a site of an herbalist who said he feels they are prejudiced against herbs and a week is fine for most said garlic was correlated with bleeding issues and said stop it 2 weeks before. I just finished them and then found this out.

So if I stop the garlic, it may be too late as this is only 9 days instead of the 14 recommended. I do not know how long it thins one blood and I am darn sure not going to mention it to the pre-op teem (Personnel at hospital disclose something I said to previous doctor and violated my hippa rights and now I do not trust the medical personnel to just ask them) nor do I want to tell the doctor at this point as I do not want the surgery canceled but I don't want to bleed to death or something. I think she will cancel the surgery based on how she is or order a test which shows if blood is thin which it may be since just ate it.

I went through hell to get someone to agree to what i want and I Wanted to make zero waves..they will never know if I do not tell them but I dont want something to go wrong but I think the risk of maybe bleeding which I don't know will matter or how often it does is less than the cancer spreading to my brain, liver or lungs.

I am desperate to get this surgery and make no waves due to massive amounts of problems with doctors etc and had to wait at least a month for this scheduled surgery.

I am afraid if I mention it they will cancel the surgery and may have to wait a month..meanwhile the mri showed thus far no cancer other than a big lemon sized lump in the rest of breast or lymph nodes..due to this she is no going to remove the lymph nods at my request (which she insisted on prior to the breast mri test results being positive) but if I Have to wait longer who knows what she will still do or if it will spread or if she will still do the surgery without removal of lymph nodes. cont

I have decided I will not do the surgery if they remove the lymph nodes due to several things, so it is very important I get this surgery next week as scheduled but now am afraid I might bleed too much from all this garlic but if I tell them, I believe they will cancel it. Fate already got 1 surgery canceled I feel I'm trying to beat the clock to get this out of me before it spreads I am not so sure I should risk having the cancer spread all over by being forced to wait or just not tell them and risk potential side effects. I just cant emotionally get through having another surgery canceled at the last minute.

Does anyone know what the odds of bleeding were, how to reverse the blood being too thin or detox it out of system without taking any herbs or if 9 days will be enough to be off it and not bleed? Is there a self way to see if blood too thin..will it look more watery or what.

I think maybe a few sites said a week or 10 days was ok but now I forget as I started getting scared as to what to do..my preadmisison testing is later today.since i mentioned herbs on the phone they may have written it down to question me on it..I just told them I would stop them all as they id not know which was bad ones but was not sure I would stop but now I feel I must when I read it could be dangerous to take things.

Maybe even foods? I was going to start The Master Cleanse instead of the fast (Except for the garlic) I have been on about 60 days so it would be easier to do it in bed or if cant prepare stuff as all I need is a cooler, lemons, maple syrup and cayenne and a squeezer and thus not hard. I guess I will have to not take the laxative tea on master cleanse till surgery over..

please advise or if you know anything..I just cannot emotionally handle getting this surgery canceled again right before the surgery omg
