April 3 is my half-birthday. The only reason I ever knew that, is it also would have been the forty-sixth birthday of someone who used to be very close to me had she not died of cancer back in 1998. We'd always commented through the years how it was each other's half-birthday, aconcept introduced in some book one of us read as a yewt.<br /><br />Now, since she died of melanoma, maybe latrile would have helped, maybe not. But while her doctor did encourage her to try alternative treatment methods, her first oncologist discouraged them the the point of losing a patient to another doctor rather than to the cancer.<br /><br />The fact that people demonstrate such blind faith in a modern medicine treatment as barbaric as chemotherapy is as much a source of mystery to me as it is to you. <br /><br />Let's fill your body with poison and hope it kills what ails ya before it kills you.<br /><br />That's when it's time to say, and I quote, "My ride's here."DiscConnectedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013919800637508392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557564794535751440.post-6664487208726188562010-04-04T15:08:18.626-07:002010-04-04T15:08:18.626-07:00Cancer sucks that I've seen first hand.

I also believe this is true in the field of cancer research. What I found most astonishing is how they pulled the plug on it's research, kept decreasing the dosage to get the negative results they wanted, and commited out right fraud. Regardless of someones position on vitamin B 17 the fact that the higher ups in the medical community are not interested in a cure is pretty clear.mousiemarchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946780831209471709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557564794535751440.post-29114044815189442382010-04-04T08:10:35.048-07:002010-04-04T08:10:35.048-07:00YVONNE ~

If there's a weak link in our immune system, that's where cancer has the potential to strike. And every one of us has a weak link somewhere.<br /><br />My friend's dad drinks far too much alcohol. And when he wound up with cancer, guess where it first struck. That's right - in the liver. And cancer cells originating in the liver is supposedly rather unusual, but for him, it was predictable. Had he been getting Laetrile in his diet, it would not have permitted the cancer cells to get a foothold there and then spread.<br /><br />~ "Lonesome Dogg" McMeStephen T.

I'm afraid it's ME who has the fear of cancer, luckily I can capture my thoughts and feelings in my writing poetry,but I have read alternative books about cancer but have come to the conclusion that we all have cancer in us whether it rears it's ugly head is a chance we have to take. I did not mean to sound sorry for myself but having the shadow of it hanging over my own head is not nice but I am not prepared to ruin my life.<br />Many thanks for your concern it is<br />very much appreciated.<br />Have a nice day.<br />Yvonne,RHYTHM AND RHYMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386975261804630799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557564794535751440.post-3533140235772837672010-04-04T02:11:32.703-07:002010-04-04T02:11:32.703-07:00Thanks for commenting on my blog :) I've put y...Thanks for commenting on my blog :) I've put your link up with your colloquial words :)<br />have a great Easter!Jessica Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10889900730906728317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557564794535751440.post-77786337765394371492010-04-03T19:51:50.292-07:002010-04-03T19:51:50.292-07:00Good --- you had me wondering where you were going...Good --- you had me wondering where you were going with this at first and then you packaged it with a punch-- clever take on this and I will remember this every time I hear that cliche.<br /><br />Bad -- I remember when you recommended these books and they would be well worth a look.<br /><br />Bonus -- And then what did she say?<br /><br />Thanks<br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557564794535751440.post-33385753915891821552010-04-03T14:28:39.664-07:002010-04-03T14:28:39.664-07:00YVONNE ~

Based on what you've written above, I believe that someone was you! <br /><br />In fact, I'm fairly certain that the person had the word "Poetry" in their pseudonym, so it MUST have been you.<br /><br />Please have your eldest son read these books. I don't know what personality type he is, but anyone who is willing to at least question conventional wisdom at times will find these two books eye-opening if not outright mind-blowing!<br /><br />~ "Lonesome Dogg" McMeStephen T.

I thought 2 "C" subjects were fine to read but the cancer got to me, My husband first had lung cancer, having a lung removed made a remarkable recovery only to be told 3 days after my mother passed away he had terminal brain cancer and within 2 months he too had left me, well it took me time to accept my loses then just as I<br />was starting to rebuild my life my eldest son was diagnosed with cancer, luckily for him he is in remission at present, but the fear is there no matter how positive one is no matter what books you read it's always there lurking in the back of your mind.I was hoping no one would mention that c word<br />but I know one has to face one's fears straight in the face. I too had a scare last year after a cervix test was abnormal but luckily that too was ok, but must have 6 monthly check ups one this month in fact.Though I didn't want to see that "C" WORD I thank you.<br /><br />Yvonne,RHYTHM AND RHYMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386975261804630799noreply@blogger.com
