One of my best friends had breast cancer and went through a mastectomy and chemo....was pregnant during this time, and then after the baby was born, had the last round of chemo. After they removed the port-o-cath, a piece came lose and wound up in her heart, so she had to have some type of procedure to remove that. Anyway...after all of that, she ended up with about 40 lbs. to go. She started on Atkins in January of this year with her doctor's approval and has already lost all of her weight and is at goal.
I don't know if this means anything....but she had no problem with it. That being said...last week she "crashed" and was feeling horrible. She was afraid the cancer had returned and had a bone scan (or whatever scan it is they do) and there was no cancer. Her doctor just said her body had been through so much that it wasn't unexpected, but that it didn't have anything to do with the diet.
Anyway...hpe this helps.
