(A re-post)

OK, let's stop the political bickering for just a minute. To all you lady bloggers out there; if you're are on a routine physical regimen, stay on it. If you are not, please, please, please, make an appointment and get that exam.

To all you men bloggers out there there; if your wife or girlfriend has a routine exam regimen make sure she stays with it. In fact, go with her. It will not hurt you. If she is not on a routine exam schedule please do everything to ensure that she gets an examination and then regular scheduled exams thereafter.

Please get it done!

Thank you Cy for being so sweet & caring. LovePTC, I wish you all the best. Congrats Dm’s mother. Dawn, I’m been taking All Cell Detox and it really helps get rid of my breast lumps. For 2 years now that I don’t feel any pain/soreness or tingling. I combine the All Cell Detox with E Tea Capsule known as Essiac Tea for my fibroids & ovary cysts. Below is some info I’ve read for educational purposes only.

All Cell detox is a formula that assists the digestive tract, colon, liver & kidney in eliminating toxic waste materials. A general cleansing formula, it has been used for conditions such as acne, skin eruptive diseases, body odor, breast lumps, cysts, fibroids, polyps, parasites & tumor.

My day will be complete if you tell us that along with your OTC medicine you also have regular exams.

I came back on because I just remembered that a friend recently sent me an email about asparagus being used to treat cancer.

I don't know how valid the science is on that study; but, it couldn't hurt to check into it. Asparagus is excellent at cleaning out the liver which is the filter for our body, maybe it would be worth trying (in conjunction with your treatment of course).

I deleted the email so I can't forward it to you, but maybe your doctor would know about it or maybe you could google it. I wouldn't do anything, not even dietary changes, without consulting your doctor first.

Your deleted e-mail will usually stay in TRASH for 30 days and can be transferred or moved back to IN BOX.

Nothing like having a friend! You guys are great. Some words of encouragement - my mother (98) is a cancer survivor. Her advise? Stay positive and active. My sister-in-law was given bad news; took the chemo and a new treatment - and is in remission! No sign of the cancer!! God bless - and good night/morning. Naturally prayers continue.

I think loveptc has just logged off. Maybe she can get some rest now or at least find a good old black and white movie to watch. That's what I do when I can't sleep. Congratulations to your mother!! A cancer survivor AND 98! Must have a lot of grit ... just like her daughter?

Good night.

Found an old John Wayne movie to watch ... North to Alaska.

Sweet dreams.

Its been a rough road, and Ive been quite about it. Sometime back, Cy said all women need to be regulary checked, and after all the MRI's, Mammagarons bisopys and ultra sounds as well as 4 hours of surgery I will whip his butt when I see him! But I promise, I will give him a great hug as soon as he gets off the pavement, then I will probaly hit him again for all I've already been through and have to go thru.
This is a journey I didn't think I would have to take so young in my life (43). Thank you to everyone for you're kind comments and prayers. And GET TESTED!!! Thank you Cy for playing a roll in saving my life. Guess your 1 of those angels (don't blush)

I'm just a fat guy that rides a bicycle and is hopelessly addicted to blogging. Maybe it was meant to be that my message was received by you. I'm just so happy that it saved your life. I'm so humbled.

And yes, I'll buy those Krystals.

I'm so glad you followed Cy's advice. My girlfriend is 42 and was diagnosed with BC at Christmas. She had the surgery in February and is doing well. She was very fortunate in some ways. Her lymph nodes were clear. They tested her for the bad cancer gene (given to younger victims like her with some family history of cancer, which indicates chances of recurrence as well as other cancers) and it was negative. They also sent her tumors (3) off to the only lab in the U.S. to determine 20 something different factors. Her results were such that chemo was not needed, although she has to be on Tamoxifen for 5 years. We thank God every day.

The point is ladies....get checked, don't assume anything when diagnosed, and get the best care possible. Piedmont was great and Dr. William Barber is PHENOMENAL. I know results vary and each case is different, so loveptc I wish you the very best!

I tried to write a comment early. but it wouldn't post. My surgeon thinks I can take the 5 year pill and do radio. The funny part was, she said it increase's my chance of getting pregant. I saw my husbands eyes turn to saucers, and I swear he started melting into the floor! Like I said, all big news comes today (can't sleep). Best to you and your girlfriend! People, lets keep this blog going! Help save your sister, mother, or even mother in laws life (she does watch the kids, but she may not like you)

final outcome was okay in each case. I went through the agony of not knowing each time--I finally came to the conclusion that if I had to lose those 'sisters' that I would miss them but it wouldn't be the end of the world. Of course I never had to make that final decision. You sound like a very strong person, so hang in there and know that we are all pulling for you. Your health is the most important thing and having good doctors to take good care of you is just as important. Would love to make that Krystal run with you. Cy is an angel anyway (now he will really blush!) but doubly so for saving your precious life. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers and you are not alone.

I logged on just to see if you were reminding people again. Your lastreminder may have saved my life! I go tommorow and find out if I just have to do the radio, or if chemo will be involed as well. Sorry I haven't been around as much, I'm just dealing with alot. Bless you, and yes, you and Git still owe me those Krystals!

I did not know you were battling this disease. My thoughts are with you. 43!! Wow!! Now, I feel terrible about being 40 and have canceled two mammograms. I will make sure to get that done soon.

I looked over and saw that you are on line with me now and that you mentioned in an earlier blog that you can't sleep. If you want, I'll stay up with you for a while and blog. I can't imagine what you are going through, but maybe I could be good company.

Well... today was the day! Before I even left for the breast sergon, my regular Drs. office called with my blood work from early this week. I have to take a scrip for iron because I have become enimic (soory for spelling) because I need another surgey (female kind). I had been taking a liquid iron supplment that I brought at a health store, but it wasan't doing the trick.
O.K., breast cancer... I meet with the chemo Dr on the 5th, and the radio Dr. on the 13th. I still have an infection from the sergery, so more pills. Good news is, they think the chemo guy will but me on the 5 year pill with no chemo. Radio will be 5 days a week for 5 weeks.
People, I found this spot, the mammagam didnt! If something dosent feel right, SPEAK UP! Thank you again to everybody for your kind words, thuoghts, and prayers.
