That is wonderful your friend has such a positive attitude. I will continue sending her healing and keep her in my prayers. I do have a question for anyone out their. From all I have studied and such about natural ways to beat cancers and infections they all say the same thing, to cut all dairy from your diets. So I guess I am confused as to why her doctor would tell her it is ok to eat butter, icecream, whipcream, other than the high calories. Any input?BlessingsDarlasenegalady@... wrote: An update from my friend Frances who was just diagnosed with Stave IV lung cancer.

I met with the radiologist on Friday and the oncologist again today. I have had my chest all marked up and will get my tattoos (I think tomorrow) for where the

radiation will be aimed. I start radiation and chemo on Thursday(1/31). It will last several weeks. I still have a bone scan scheduled. Other than that, it is the treatments and testing they will need to do to monitor the results. It is Stage IV cancer. I still have a very positive attitude about the outcome, and told the doctor today that I intend to be his Poster Case. He wanted to know if I had any questions. I told him yes. "Can I get my ears pierced?" I want to wear huge flashy earrings to take the attention away from my bald head. I don't think he had ever been asked that before. Anyway, he didn't approve the ear piercing (afraid it might have some effect on my blood count). He said I could just wear clip ons. Anyway, I bought my first snazy cap today for when my hair comes out. It's a knockout. Thanks for

all your thoughts, prayers, e-mails, cards, and even phone calls if they don't wake me from a nap. I'm going to try my best to do my part to beat this, which means eating well, resting, and getting some exercise. Most of all thinking positive and laughing. One really good thing. Since years ago when I was told my cholesterol was high and I had to eat healthy, I have not indulged in lots of things. NOW, I'm told to eat lots of butter, eggs, icecream, whipcream, anything I want and as much as I can. Whoopee!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep the prayers going....Love you all.....Frances Love and hugs, Cheryl in GAvisit me at: www.myspace.com/senegaladyMay we learn to benefit the life of Earth with peace, humble in our

There's no better remedy than a sense of humor! I will continue to send prayers to your friend Frances while she goes through radiation.
