Incredibly sad news

I started the acacia a few days ago and haven't felt better in years. I was so excited and felt like finally I was getting a grasp on my health and the future was beginning to look very optimistic. Then today I received horrible news, I have breast cancer. Should I stay on the acacia or get off of it or does anyone know. I am a wreck right now and suffering anxiety attacks and have been crying all day. None of this can be good for me. Please pray for me. I am a single mom with two children. I hope this post makes sense.

I am so very sorry. You are facing a lot right now -- make sure to come over to the Livingroom for lots of support. My gut instinct is that because acacia is just a dietary supplement -- just a concentrated form of what things like bread and rice give you, and not a drug, that it should be okay. The last thing you need is your IBS to flare up and make your life more complicated. HOWEVER I do not know anything about absorption of drugs and how fiber interacts with that, so definitely talk to your doctor and find out.
prayers for you and your kids,
Panda

Ohmigod.  At least these days they are so good at beating breast cancer!
I agree with Panda. I'd continue with the Acacia and the diet...and just let all your doctors know about ALL the supplements you take.
{{{hugs}}} My thoughts are with you and your family.

I just wanted to say that you are in my prayers. I am a single mom too and I know how hard things are when we are not sick. I hope you come here often and you can email me directly if you want. You are not alone and I pray your anxiety passes soon.
Hugs and well wishes,
Mary

First of all, HUGS to you, and there ARE survivors, and everyone knows single moms are SO survivors.
I know nothing about the acacia. I am keeping you in my thoughts.

You poor thing!
I don't know about the acacia, but I can't see why it would be a problem. That would best be answered by Heather, I think.
As for the cancer, like SoreTummyMommy said, there ARE survivers, and hopefully they caught it early. Even if they didn't, there is still such a good hope for you, with all the research being done these days.
Good luck to you, darlin. I will keep you in my prayers!

I'm so sorry! I think the acacia will be fine. Do you have a good support group, friends and families, who can help you during this time? I think it's good that you're crying, but please know this a battle you can win! And post here or in the Living Room when you need some extra support. I'll be praying for you!
