We have met some wonderful people along the way. We also cherish the friendships of people who knew us before our cancer journey. Rand and I want to say thank you to all of you. I have many times overheard telephone conversations shared with Rand and hearing Rand say "she is doing well, another stepping stone, she started her radiation today." We have daily been embraced with the love of friends and family. Words not always need be spoken. The soul speaks louder than any words spoken. I thank you for your thoughts, prayers, encouragement and friendship.
I want to acknowledge some dear friends that have stratically crossed our path.
Dr. Dennis and Robin Jones. They have taught me that hope is real. That we don't need to settle for the popular or most medical approach to treatment but that alternative treatments enhance, heal and give hope.
Rand and I have begun a new approach to well being. Magnetic therapy, laser light therapy, counciling, nutritional supplements and, an alkaline diet. It has been fun shopping for what we refer to as "bird seed" and eating greens and beans. We both agree that we feel better and losing weight is a wonderful side effect. I am taking daily dietary supplements. Sometimes a little hard to swallow. There are so many. But, each one very carefully chosen for me per my medical profile. Dr. Dennis has also been providing laser light therapy, magnetic therapy and chiropractic intervention.
Thank you Dennis and Robin for your friendship, expertise and sharing wings and beer...no they are not a part of the alkaline diet but every body needs a break every now and then...

Hi Cathie; I am the mom of a 25 yr old daughter who has LMS of the stomach..inoperable, but with chemo and radiation she remains NED after 2+ years. I keep praying that she can get through this as she has a 1 year old (a miracle baby) and a 5 year old. I have a large fibroid in my uterine wall. I know that it is very unlikely that it is cancer, but with my family history I can't help but wonder...am looking for a naturalpath doctor to help arrest its growth and hopefully shrink it. I think we are the same age and by now I was hoping to be in menopause to stop things like this!
Anyway..your blog is touching, joyful, hopeful, and I will keep you in my thoughts. You are a brave woman, and honest in your writing. As the mother if a child with cancer, I too feel the anxiety of every test, of every ache and pain (she has many other problems including lupus etc.) but she keeps going to school and doing her best to engage with life and her family.
As you do.
Have a beautiful loving holiday and keep writing. I am an artist..keep taking those photos as art is a wonderful way to express/capture fear, anger, anxiety,beauty and love. xxpatti
