Hi doctor. Last July I was diagnosed with 3rd stage breast cancer. I had triple positive breast cancer. After chemo with Phesgo 6 doses I had mastectomy and axillilary clearance. My second biopsy showed I have some amount of cancer left. So 15 cycles of radiation and TDM1 Injection started. But unfortunately I had a bad reaction to TDM1 since I had SLE too. But during this period I started to drink tumeric milk morning and evening. I saw someone drinking and i like the taste so. I was not aware that its good for breast cancer. My radiation therapy cycles over on 19th Jan 2024. Two days later I was In ICU. My SLE triggered to a reaction of TDM1. So than on I am fighting a different battle but last month I had my second PAT scan and it shows I am in remission. So tumeric might played a role .
It would be nice to think so!
Amazing!
How does turmeric affect hormon therapy for breast cancer, aromatase inhibitors?
I also have same question in mind. As it might be help for joint pain caused by AI
I also wonder the same! Tumeric and its effect during endocrine therapy... Chemo and radiation therapy works by oxidation which is not the case for endocribe therapy so it should be safe???
I also have the same question? Was told it was fine to take through chemo and radio . But not to take with tamoxifen ?
Can you do tumeric after radiation treatments
There is evidence that turmeric supplements, particularly those containing high doses of curcumin, can interfere with the metabolism and effectiveness of tamoxifen, an estrogen receptor modulator used to treat breast cancer. However, the use of turmeric as a spice in food appears to be safe. There is no interaction between turmeric and the aromatase inhibitors.
Hi dear doctor Griggs, thank you for such good advice, what about cdk46 medications and hormone treatment, can they use tumeric as a tea, or such as like green tea? Is it ok please, thank you ❤

Very helpful advise, im on Exemestane, have finished chemotherapy is it safe to take Tumeric on this medication?thank you
There is no interaction between turmeric and the aromatase inhibitors, including exemestane.
Thank you dr. Any thoughts on Elderberry. There is a lot of content out there. Some say it is high antioxidant but I also found data saying it increase estrogen. Any thoughts pls? Thank you 🙏
There is not enough information on whether elderberry is safe and/or effective. If you enjoy elderberries in your diet, they are probably safe.
Hi. Could you explain why tumours are further tested after identified in a pathology report.
Great question. There are many things that are tested for after the initial pathology report. Stay tuned for our upcoming video that addresses this topic.
How about using it when you are in remission/maintenance with a target drug pertuzamab/trastuzumab? Also have you heard anything about using organic cherry juice concentrate added to your water to kill cancer? It does taste good and turmeric is an acquired taste to me. I have tried to mix it with warm milk, pepper, and a pinch of honey, but it is something you just don't want on a daily bases!
There is unlikely to be a problem with turmeric on targeted therapies.
@@yerbba Thank you so much for all of the information you provide us. This is another question I have about hair, can someone on target drugs get there hair permed, colored, or highlighted? If the drugs are only targeting cancer cells will effect the hair shaft? My hairdresser is unwilling to do them. I can't find information on this.
Dr. How about tumeric with Tamoxifen pls? Thank you so much! ❤
Turmeric is not recommended with tamoxifen. Thank you for watching!
Great video. I’m on Anastrozle now as I am ER+ PR+ HER- and wondering if I can take Turmeric supplements. They are helpful for my joint pain. I also have RA which adds to the AI joint pain.
There is no interaction between turmeric and the aromatase inhibitors.
@@yerbba could you please provide literature pointing to this feedback? Thanks!
@@yerbbawould you recommend dietary turmeric, or turmeric juice (juicing) for people on Letrozole?
Turmeric latte with oat milk is my go to cafe drink ❤
This sounds delicious! Thank you for sharing!
Pls share angiogenesis and angiogenesis rx as an option for treatment for cancer.
Yes I'm very interested angiogenesis is well. I hope doctor Griggs makes video about it❤
Thanks for the suggestion. We've added it to our list!
Does tumeric affect the efficacy of Tamoxifen? I’m guessing small amounts through diet are ok
There is evidence that turmeric supplements, particularly those containing high doses of curcumin, can interfere with the metabolism and effectiveness of tamoxifen, an estrogen receptor modulator used to treat breast cancer. However, the use of turmeric as a spice in food appears to be safe. There is no interaction between turmeric and the aromatase inhibitors.
I take Letrozole daily and also drink a daily juice containing turmeric, ginger, and lemon (i.e. using fresh turmeric and ginger roots for juicing) . I came across some information suggesting that turmeric and ginger might interact with Letrozole, potentially increasing or decreasing its effectiveness.
Could you please clarify if this is a concern and if there's anything I should be aware of regarding my current routine?
Turmeric in particular is not recommended in people on either an aromatase inhibitor or tamoxifen.
@@yerbba It was mentioned on one of your videos that turmeric as a spice in food (dietary) is generally considered safe for people on tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors. Is juicing turmeric considered "supplement" or "dietary"?. Can i drink Turmeric juice from juicing while on Letrozole? Thanks!
In France we are told not to use turmeric with letrozole because they interact.,is it ok in the US??
There is no evidence that turmeric interferes with letrozole or the other aromatase inhibitors. There is some interaction with tamoxifen.
My treatment is just Hermon therapy tamoxifen for 5 years and my ER was 8/8 ...so my question..can I take Turmeric? thank you xx
Turmeric is not recommended with tamoxifen.
I started using a turmeric supplement for some of the joint pain I’ve had from Letrozole. (It worked) Can you tell me if it’s safe to take with Letrozole? Is turmeric estrogenic?
Turmeric is not recommend with the aromatase inhibitors.
Thank you!!!
So should we not take any turmeric while taking tamoxifen?
Turmeric is not recommended with tamoxifen. Thank you for watching!
Hello dr. Can er+ breast cancer patient consume turmeric in food ?
Yes, people with ER+ breast cancer can generally consume turmeric in food.
Dr can we take iron supplements during chemotherapy treatment?? Please reply
My doctor advided me to avoid the SUPPLEMENTS OR ANTIOXIDANTS DURING CHEMOTHERAPY OR RADIATION

@@cynthiayee5116 what does it me?
Is it not safe??
@@mmbhc233 its not about safe ..Its about that When you are in chemo..The medicine will not work affectly as it should ..Because Antioxdants will slow down the effects .
Is it safe to consume turmeric powder when you are taking tamoxifen?
Turmeric is not recommended with tamoxifen.
@@yerbba Yes but doesn't it depend on the dose? Supplements are high dose and it isn't good but if you take small amount powder?
Yes it’s safe unlike chemo
Turmeric and chemotherapy have different effects on cells.
