@hoovhome you haven't put a damper on the group at all!! I know it is a busy month for me especially with school starting and 5 kids. I read posts but don't always comment. I think people may just busy right now. Post away! That is what we are here for!1

No your not a thread killer at all....this place is just super quiet now. It's not your situation at all. Big hugs.1

@hoovhome You definitely aren't causing a damper on anyone. Like me, a bunch of us disappeared for personal reasons. I'm sorry about your current situation, it must be very difficult for you, yet you're still here pushing on through. How amazing of you. Truly admiring. Very happy your insurance was approved and the ball is finally rolling!
Thanks for still being here
P.s. Thanks to everyone (who is active) for still being here-you've made it super easy to transition back into fitness ❤️3 -

Thanks, ladies. I keep saying I am through with my pity party, but maybe not. LOL. This afternoon, I got a call to schedule my needle biopsy for next Wednesday. My [new] general doctor met with me today and we are devising a game plan to boost my immunity and get ready for battle.0

RunningNeeNee, hang in there! I am a firm believer that nutrition is the answer to so many of our problems. My new mantra is "if the food does not GIVE life via nutrients then I will not eat it". You can do this - read up on foods that help lower blood pressures (onions...etc) but probably increasing fiber may help.
In the meantime, since my post above, I learned my issue is indeed cancer. I will have an MRI on Tuesday, 9/6/16, and meet with a surgeon that afternoon. He will recommend treatment to shrink the tumor for 3-6 months prior to surgery. In the meantime, I am using nutrition to begin my own shrinkage treatment and will listen intently to see whether he is receptive to hearing that news. In a perfect world, he will be receptive to me using my nutrition methods for three months and scan again to see if there is shrinkage. If it works, then I will push to continue for another three months. For those of you who are Christians, please pray for the medical staff and for me and my family. The decisions are ultimately mine, but my family support system needs to be in agreement for this to work as it should.

You are all in my prayers! I'm sorry to hear it turned out to be cancer. Huge hugs!1 -
I will continue to hold you all in prayers.1

Prayers for you and all your supporting people! You've got this!!!1

Yesterday really sucked wind!!!!!
The MRI picked up some lymph activity in the same breast, so they biopsied it. I will know tomorrow whether it is or whether it is not also malignant. My phone was blowing up all the way home and I just wanted to crawl in a hole and cry for a bit. So I cried and didn't answer and stopped to eat with a cousin I haven't seen in a while. And I got up this morning and made myself walk with a couple of neighbors who invited me. I think it just helps to type this out to remind myself I can get back up when I am knocked down. There are many people who wish this was the biggest problem they were dealing with. I am thankful to have the support of this group and my family and friends.

CT and Bone scans resulted in no metastasis detected, so I am reasonably assured the cancer is contained in the breast and one lymph node at this time. I will check in from time to time, but am staying off the computer and focused on my well-being.3

Saw the oncologist yesterday for the first time. Will have a bone density test (different than bone scan) next Tuesday. She set a deadline for October 18th to make a decision regarding my treatment. Doing lots of praying, trying to laugh daily and limit communication to the positive minimum as there is a lot of pressure right now to do the expected when nothing is normal about this. Will check in periodically.1

After consulting with my insurance, I rescheduled the bone density test for November 2. The oncologist was wanting to see me today, but I cancelled to reschedule at a later date. Ladies, the tumor is shrinking - with carrot juice and a clean diet. I cannot say that is the reason for the change, but it is the only thing I am doing at this time. I have other friends and family choosing modern treatment and I support their decisions, just as they are supporting mine.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!3 -
@hoovhome you know what is best for your body! And it sounds like healing is underway
Great news!!! 1 -
@hoovhome hope everything went well at today's scan1

Drinking 8 cups if carrot juice daily. Started additional measures to speed up process. Still at 179 pounds but not counting calories or macros. Where I struggle is getting in greens. The daily process of juicing, consuming requirdd supplements and getting in enough protein is taxing but I realize I am blessed to have the freedom and support to choose alternative treatment. It isn't easy but I believe worth it.
Bone density was very good. Bone Scan and CT were good. Struggling to get my D3 up in fighting range.1 -
Glad you're getting good results. Your positivity is inspiring I'm glad you have the support to fight your fight. Thanks for popping by and updating us. You're never far from my thoughts and prayers.0

Anxiety is not easy....I have problems with anxiety.
Three things helped lower my blood pressure, which was pre-hypertensive. 1: sleep apnea diagnosed and a CPAP at 10 lbs pressure, 2: cut out processed foods, 3: carrot juicing. My BP is routinely around 116/78. The indigestion went away at the same time. The emotional issues minimized, but didn't resolve until I removed from the underlying causes. First, a job dump. I cried for three months, then relocated and got busy with work totally unrelated. Whatever the underlying issue, I pray you will know the right way to handle it or get the right assistance.
