Thank you for your reply to my question Buffcody! It really lifted my husband's spirit. Very encouraging. I wrote a longer reply on the post itself. I'm new to this, so only discovered I can write to you specifically here, just now. Thanks again. I'm sure we'll have lots of questions going forward, so appreciate the help!

This is even better as PubMed is THE place to go.....We have no downside here NOT to try this with or without chemo.....We go into ketosis and the cells use Ketones and not Glucose to fuel the cells. Normal cells change over easily but cancer cells do NOT....B

Hey Cody.....I just found this VERY interesting info that is NEW.... check it out carefully and see if makes sense to you. I'm starting this diet tomorrow....GOOD Luck! Barry

I wanted to thank you for the post! I love this site for that reason, to have others that can understand how I feel. I have certainly found that humor is the best way for me to handle this, but then again, humor has always been my coping mechanism! I can find humor in all aspects of my journey, from my doctors, nurses, church, friends, and most definitely my family! I was raised on the belief that God has got me covered, so no need to worry about me, I do worry about those around me. I have always been the "one" in my family. If they needed a good laugh, they come to me to see what's going on in my world.It's not always easy to find my funny, and it seems to be getting harder and harder to find, but I dig deep and eventually my funny will show it's smiling face! As far as writing, it's something I've always loved to do. I can express myself through words on paper much easier than saying them. I have been very blessed by teachers in school who always fueled that passion and taught me how to let my words flow. I wish my children had the same passion, luckily, they do love to read books, and I make them write letters still. We live in a fast paced world and before long, I fear, our children won't even know how to address a letter, no less write one! You are in my prayers and thoughts, as well as everyone else on this site and not on here. I have yet to meet a single person that cancer has not affected. We can all use a little more prayer!

Well, you've had some adventure in your cancer journey. It sounds like you have a good attitude and have persevered through it all. Keep up the good work, but wear your sunscreen when you're out and about. Take care.
