,

I'm so glad that you were able to get out for a few days! It sounds

like it really gave you a boost.

I think I will try to take the advice of others here as well, and

record my small accomplishments, so that 2-3 months down the line I

will hopefully be able to read it and see that I really am moving

along with recovery. All of you guys are so full of good tips on

how to get through this surgery - it's really been a huge help for

me!

it slowly - it is one of the most damaging foods anyone can consume.

+++Do not be concerned about those reactions when you stop having soy, since it

is interfering with the normal functioning of your body, so it actually was

depressing and suppressing your whole system, and it does a lot of direct damage

to the thyroid.

Hypoglycemia. Do I go off of it cold turkey and what do I do about the side

everyone with candida gets. Instead of soy, make Bee's Egg Drink:

Bee, Thank you again for responding. I do want to try the egg drink. I will

see how my gall bladder handles it. Thank you for such an empowering website.

Also, Bee's Egg Drink will stablize your blood sugar so much better than soymilk

does. I had terrible Hypoglycemia and eating the proper ratios (

and drinking Bee's Egg Drink for a snack made my blood sugar rock solid.

Amazing News Gloria! Best thing I've heard all day!! Now the next piece of good news is that you're SVR!Lots of Pink Hugs,TeriFrom: Gloria <gadamscan@...> Sent: Thu, June 17, 2010 10:27:39 PMSubject: [ ] Me Again

and EveryoneFinally I've got really really good news to share!!Went to my GP today for something really minuscule; but, it gave me the opportunity to get some news that I thought I'd have to wait until the end of the month for. My CT Scan report was there and so I asked what it said!!!!I am CANCER FREE and all my blood tests etc say that I'm normal!! The only other thing the CAT found was a moving Hiatus Hernia which we already knew was probably there and why I'm taking pills for it.I still have to go to Vancouver for a visit with the surgeon and the HepC Clinic; but, at least I know that for now, the cancer is gone!!!!!Now I gotta go and try to build my son's ego back up.Luv Gloria

Hi Gloria, Cinder here. Sounds like you are doing what you need to for yourself. I am proud of you. I am glad for you. I know it has been very hard on you. I hope you feel yourself surrounded by all of our love from all your friends here in this group. We are all here for you 100 % and anytime. Love and hugs Cinder

Well gangI think I finally caught up with all the e-mails and will finish my evening up by catching you all up on my life.Husband and I finally signed Separation Papers today, so I guess it's official now!! I still feel like he backed himself into a corner and can't figure out how to get out of it.. But, I knew last week that I'd finally lost any ounce of respect for him and we had to do this before actual hatred set in...I'm a little bit sad because it was close to 21 yrs together; but, at the same time, I'm looking forward to a new start!!! After fighting through 2 treatments and then being told I had liver cancer, then that operation, I'm just needing a little bit of quiet in my life. However, that couldn't be done in a house where I was looking after a 68 year old little boy who wanted everything his way. I realize now that he desperately wanted out, the minute that

cancer was mentioned last fall. He just couldn't bring himself to actually pack and leave, without making it all my fault somehow. To some degree, you almost have to feel sorry for those folks out there that simply can not face someone who is truly sick. I said ALMOST!!!There came a point that I had to warn him that if he tried to belittle my illness one more time, that he would have the BITCH from hell coming down on him and he wouldn't get out with out being emotionally and finacially bruised a whole lot more than I've done. Now he can deal with his self-centred whiny adult children and I sure hope they are prepared to look after their Dad a whole lot more than they know about yet. He can take his angry mood swings to their places and see how long they want to put up with it.So Teri - I understand the terror of packing up!!! This was going to be the year that I wanted to go room by room and dung out

all the accumulated junk and have the whole place repainted. I just thought that I would be doing it myself. But, the time line has been sped up and we've hired a repair guy. It means that I will have to get each room ready before he's there to do it. Guess the first thing is - pack up my china cabinet because that got stuff in it, that although is probably not worth much except memories from my family. As far as I'm concerned, that cabinet can then move back down to what used to be my office and sorta set it aside until I know what I want to do with it. Then Bill can replace the kitchen floor with the cermic tile that's been waiting for over a year.After all of that, we are going to list the place for sell and all I can hope for is that some folks will like it really quickly and that it goes quickly. Don't know too many 14' wide mobiles that have an addition that is over 20 x 20, plus a storage room AND

a jacuzzi tub, matching sink and a show stall. Plus there is a brand new deck on the front. At the moment, I don't really want the outside gardening shed to go with the place, because I sure will need one for my future place.I want to buy a Motor Home of some kind for myself with the split after we sell. It's always been a dream of mine and when it really only costs $400 per month in the winter to stay here and that includes all the utilities except a phone, how much cheaper can you get??? It'll be just myself and my dog to start with, although at some point I'll probably have to take the old cat as well.So, I'm a actually truly looking forward to all this change!!!By they way, my back and shoulders have been bothering me too lately. In my case, it's probably too much sitting here and working. So, I'm off to bed with the dog now and talk to you all

later.Gloria

You've got it Teri !! That news should arrive by the middle of July; but, I figure it's already true...So, I truly do have a whole brand new life starting out again. As I said to someone today - watch out, I'm the newest single woman in town now and just about healthy enough to care. LOLTrouble is, it's the last thing I want in my life!!!!

Gloria, I have all the paperwork filled out for a passport, just need to turn it

in and get the pictures taken for it. What I think I'll do is to get the enhance

drivers license at least for now. It's much cheaper I'm sure. Going to have to

check into it.

I've been having pains on my right side under my ribcage and further down closer

to my waistline. It's quite painful. Not sure if its coming from my liver, yes I

know the liver itself feels no pain. Or if it's my kidney giving me fits.

Have a nice weekend everyone.

I can't!!! Firstly, I've never bothered with getting a passport or even the

DebbieIs your liver swollen?? Remember that the more it swells in our bodies, the more it has to push other organs away as well. Do you still have your gallbladder?? The pain could be coming from that perhaps. I actually felt more discomfort from my kidney's than anything else and especially the right one. Since the operation, I can't remember feeling it much anymore.Oh - I quickly checked up about the Enhanced Driver's Licenses and don't believe that it takes very long at all and only costs $35.00. Our driver licenses have already got pictures as it is. Still, I have to laugh about the whole stupid thing!! When my Mom and I drove down to California in 2004, before all this bull, the guards on the US side at that point, already knew who

should be driving that car and everything, just from the license plate alone.That's one of the reasons that we Canadians always thought it was funny that we were taking so much flak about suspected terrorists crossing at the borders. To get into the States, it's the US Border Guards that have to let you in, coming back is when the Canadian Guards are checking. Gloria

I've been having pains on my right side under my ribcage and further down closer to my waistline. It's quite painful. Not sure if its coming from my liver, yes I know the liver itself feels no pain. Or if it's my kidney giving me fits.

Have a nice weekend everyone.

Gloria,

It could be swollen...it feels a bit firmer than usual. I still have my

gallbladder.

I'm thinking I might get the enhanced driver's license myself. If we ever go on

another cruise then we'll have to get the passports.

LOL - and to think that one of those stupid senators in the south, actually recommended publicly, that a fence should be built between Canada and the northern States. Geez - do ya think the man should perhaps look at a map???Fella was telling me today, that crossing over on one of those walking paths into Mexico was like going for a simple walk in the park. But, coming back was a whole different story!! Truthfully, there are not all that many Canadians that want to run away illegally. Did you know that there are more Americans actually moving here daily than Canadians that even go to visit. All of us Snow Birds love going across the line and especially to the warmer spots and the vast majority of us have no desire for that to change on

iota!!

I wish the control was that good along the Mexican borders.... That is a mess.Teri From:

DebbieIs your liver swollen?? Remember that the more it swells in our bodies, the more it has to push other organs away as well. Do you still have your gallbladder? ? The pain could be coming from that perhaps. I actually felt more discomfort from my kidney's than anything else and especially the right one. Since the operation, I can't remember feeling it much anymore.Oh - I quickly checked up about the Enhanced Driver's Licenses and don't believe that it takes very long at all and only costs $35.00. Our driver licenses have already got pictures as it is. Still, I have to laugh about the whole stupid thing!! When my Mom and I drove down to California in 2004, before all this bull, the guards on the US side at that point, already knew who

should be driving that car and everything, just from the license plate alone.That's one of the reasons that we Canadians always thought it was funny that we were taking so much flak about suspected terrorists crossing at the borders.

Hey Lottie, thanks for the vote of confidence - but what do you mean, what I say

is USUALLY true? Harrooomph!

Back to the CML conference (please stop me when you're bored!), the subject of

diet came up. The question was asked, Is there any special food we should be

eating? Is there anything we should not be eating? The general opinion from the

experts was that the only food to be avoided is grapefruit, because it

interferes with Glivec. I have discussed this with the pharmacist I see for my

check-ups and she reckons it would be OK to eat a little grapefruit a few hours

after taking the Glivec.

My own opinion is this: there's an invader attacking your body so you need to be

in the best shape possible to deal with the bugger. Therefore I avoid all junk

and processed food (don't like it anyway and I think it's a rip-off) and all the

food eaten in this house is cooked from raw fresh ingredients! My stepson was

visiting once with his little friend. They wanted chips (fries) so I pointed

them to the potato box and told them to start peeling. He said to his friend,

with some disgust, 'All the food in this house is RAW!'

We're not cranks but we like decent food. (I ate a Macdonald's fillet o fish

once and I have never, in all my life, tasted anything so disgusting!) Besides,

we need something good in our systems to counteract the booze!

Cheers! Shelagh
