It is time for me to say goodbye

by

KML.jpgTo everyone who has been discussing breast cancer with me here at 451 Press for the last year (yes, it has been a year — can you believe it?):

It is time for me to say goodbye.

It’s just time, that’s all. No bad blood … I just need to shake things up a bit in my life.

I can’t imagine saying goodbye to you all forever. You know I’m passionate about this cause so I won’t be able to keep my mouth shut for long. I can say that if you want be to kept abreast of any future conversations I have about breast cancer, email me at karenmlynch at gmail dot com. I’ll get you (and keep you!) on my mailing list.

Meanwhile, stay healthy, stay strong … stay informed. God bless.

    A true story from a cancer patient

    My name is Jacqui Hunt. In 2001 I was diagnosed with B cell non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, or lymphatic cancer.

    I was told that there was no effective treatment for my condition and all that modern medicine could provide was to monitor the progress of the cancer and give chemotherapy to reduce symptoms when they became more severe. Chemotherapy could bring about temporary reduction in the condition but the cancer would inevitably return and the second time it would probably be much more aggressive.

    After the initial shock of the diagnosis and a period of considerable fear, I set about dealing with the cancer in my own way using any type of alternative or integrative therapy that I thought might help.

    Despite all my efforts the cancer did progress and by the middle of 2004 I had developed a tumour in my stomach measuring 13cm x 8cm x 4cm. It was palpable and measured by ultra sound scan. My stomach protruded as if I was 6 months pregnant and I could feel a strong pulse in my stomach over the tumour.

    It was at this time that I was introduced to the Chinese herbs Agrimseng. The acupuncturist who was treating me had visited a cancer hospital in China and had learned of a combination of Chinese herbs that had been developed specifically to treat cancer. He asked me if I would be willing to try the herbs Agrimseng and I agreed, as I felt I had nothing to loose and much to gain. I was convinced the herbs were well researched and were completely safe with a great deal of ancient Chinese herbal knowledge behind them. As the herbs were gifted to me, part of the agreement to use them was that I would have ultra sound scans each six months to track the progress of the tumour.

    By the end of 2004 at the same time that I started taking the herb Agrimseng I also began my training to become a qualified Mindbody Psychotherapist in Core Energetics, Australia.

    Over the next few months I started to feel better. My energy levels increased and I somehow felt more positive in myself. My stomach began to feel more settled and seemed not to protrude quite as much. They were subtle changes. The scans were not showing much at first, although the depth of the tumour didn’t seem to be so easy to pick up and the radiologists stopped reporting that particular measurement.

    One radiologist, who knew I had had no traditional treatment, became concerned when she couldn’t find a tumour of the size previously recorded. She thought she had made a mistake. But I already knew by this time that the tumour was reducing.

    In the final session with the Oncologist in May 2006 he could find no palpable tumour, my stomach had returned to normal size and I was feeling very well. My spleen size which had been significantly increased had also returned to normal.

    By June 2007, six years after diagnosis and at a time when the cancer would be expected to be spreading there is no sign of the tumour and I am fit and healthy. I believe that my return to good health was brought about by the use of the Agrimseng Herbs combined with extensive psychotherapy, in particular Mindbody psychotherapy, Both the Agrimseng herbs and the Mindbody psychotherapy work with the emotional body, and I believe it is at this level that we need to truly heal ourselves.

    I recently came across a great new series, Terminal City, which deals with breast cancer. Similar to the quirkiness and even morbid “Six Feet Under,” Terminal City is a high quality production with exceptional writing and acting to support. Much like “Weeds,” viewers of Terminal City get to witness a dysfunctional family grappling with a sad and uncertain time.
    In this award winning series, we see 43 year-old wife and mother Katie Sampson (Maria Del Mar), alongside her loving husband (Gil Bellows), her incorrigible father in-law (an Auschwitz survivor), her rebellious daughter, her pot-obsessed teenage son and her God and death obsessed seven-year-old, cope with both the pains of breast cancer, as well as the strangeness of the world of reality TV, when during her treatments Katie is selected to host an ailing reality-driven, hospital-based medical series.
    This is truly dark comedy at its finest. If you are a fan of most HBO and Showtime series (e.g. Six Feet Under, Weeds, Big Love), you’re sure to appreciate Terminal City. The show has received a number of awards, and great reviews from all of the major entertainment journals.

    Let’s wait that prompt they find the solution to this terrible disease that little by little is mining our body since many people suffer the assaults of this cancer, let’s wait that the governments solidaricen with the persons’ miles who suffer cancer and they reach a bit more to solve this virus.
    The medicines mas known for the Cancer are Oxycodone, Soma, Lorcet, which are medicines that are used specifically for the pain, for it should reduce the costs of these medicines, with it there would be a better quality of life for the persons with this disease.

    Добрый день!

    Прошу помощи в выборе.

    У меня автомобиль марки Hyundai.
    Недавно появился на рынке Hyundai Grandeur и он мне очень нравится. Хочется поменять свой старенький Hyundai на новенький Grandeur.
    В поисках по интернету я нашла, что Hyundai выпустили новую шестиступенчатую коробку автомат, но у наших дилеров пока что нет автомобилей с ней.

    Так вот в чем заключается делема, стоит ли ждать когда появятся у нас автомобили с такими коробками, либо сейчас брать пятиступенчатую ручную коробку?
    Езжу я в основном по городу, пробки, заторы и прочее что можно встретить в городе. Я очень сомневаюсь, ведь ждать коробок автоматов на нашем рынке можно долго еще, а новый автомобиль хочется еще вчера.

    Помогите сделать правильный выбор! Особо интересует мнение девушек, которые ездят на ручных коробках.

    Я надеюсь на вашу помощь!

    [i][b]” SEE HOW MY DAUGHTER AND GRAND CHILDREN TREAT ME “[/b][/i]

    Oscar Monroe Zehner,

    I have already verbally warned you to discontinue stalking my family. You have to go out of your way to come down my street. You do not know anyone down this street or near my block to justify and excuse for continuously riding around my house. I have photo, video, etc indicating your attempt to violate my civil privacy. Your acts are acts of child endangerment; my children can not play outside without the fear that “GRANDPA” is going to hurt them. When have you shown compassion, love, to your grandchildren, children, etc.

    If you feel I am violating your rights, then I expect to see you in court. I will pursue pressing charges on you, also file litigation in civil court while you pend your criminal charges.

    This is a legal warning sent to Oscar Monroe Zehner. Any further stalking, threats, violent outbursts, I will file a civil suet in the amount of $75,000 for pain and suffering, mental anguish, child endangerment, and what ever charges my well paid for lawyer adds to the counts.

    Good day!

    И как это автору не жалко столько времени на написание статей тратить, мы конечно Вам очень благодарны, но вот я лично на такой альтруизм не способен :)

    While receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer and continuing to teach college level courses, a doctor friend of mine gave me Provigil (modifinal) a medication that encourages wakefulness. It was quite effective at treating chemo-brain and allowing me to continue to teach.
    Since ending treatment, my cognitive functioning has returned to normal. I’m always saddened to realize how few doctors offer this sanity-saving medication to their patients going through chemotherapy.
