A member asked:
Are there any herbs to shrink a breast tumor?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Tamoxifen is a medication that is derived from a natural plant. Taking the natural plant alone is not effective in treating breast cancer. This would be the most reliable example of an herb that can be used to treat breast cancer.

NO: If this is cancer, there are no herbs available. The proven methods of chemotherapy, radiation, hormonal therapy and surgery are the standard of care and the reasons why so many women are survivors. This can be an overwhelming and scary time but seek out a team of doctors who will provide standard of care options and listen to your fears and concerns.
