thanks from Moms request

[Guest guest]

Thanks goes to those that sent replys of support on this thread and

to those who emailed information. Also to and Trudy who

reminded me of what I've had to work thru to accept my daughters

decision. She has a desease called Morbid Obesity that can be treated

thru modern medicine and Dr R. will modify nature with modern

medicine so that the body can heal itself. I don't feel because a

deseased body is young that it has to pay some social dues to qualify

for this treatment. she is trying to avoid the dues to be healthy and

happy while she is still young. Believe me, any of you that were

obese (not chubby) during your youth know what I'm talking about-

fatique, joint pain, shortness of breath,let alone ridicule.One thing

that convinced me to consent was our family history. My parents died

at 52 of heart desease and her paternal grandfather died of

pancreatic cancer jusst a month ago. There were several very morbidly

obese women on her fathers side that died of complications from the

desease. And I am a 5 year survivor of melanoma and cervical cancer

thanks to modern medicine. So with the odds genetically stacked

against her-- I say I approve, let's procede......the MoM
