Rosie, Yes cancer is no easy thing to go thru, stay strong and positive, as you have been.
Amazing what the body can heal. I will be thinking of you.

God Bless you! My Mother had a very long journey of cancer as well. She started in 1984 with jaw cancer. Doctor gave her 5 years to live. 1995 she had over-ion cancer again gave her 5 years to live. 1999 she had a phen-phen bypass graft. The arteries in her right leg needed to be in large. 2003 her right leg turned blue and they had to amputate her leg. 5 days before Thanksgiving 2005 she told that her jaw cancer came back. She had the same doctor and he was amazed that it came back. She did not want to do nothing. I cried and begged her but she refused. April 2006 she passed away. I just fought cancer myself. October 2009 I was diagnosed with rectal cancer. A 3 1/2 tumor in my rectum was pushing up against my vaginal. Nov 20, 2009 I had to have emergency surgery. I had to have a colostomy bag. I dealt with infections, blood clots and my surgery was postponed till July 2010 to remove the tumor. I went threw 6 weeks of chemo and radiation. I got a bad infection and had to go in the OR every week for a simple surgery for 3 months. Labor Day 2011 I had to have another emergency surgery for a bowel obstruction. I almost died. I was on life support for 7 days and came out of it. I now suffer from lymph edema. It is so painful and never wish this on anyone. I can barley walk. It is getting harder and harder for me to walk. I keep strong and I am not going to give up! I stay positive. My legs have come a long way and I know that they will get better here soon for me one day. I have NO family. All alone and I am trying to make it. I have two friends who help me when they can. God Bless all of you that have gotten cancer and have beaten it!

It is unfortunate that the Mayo Clinic isn`t informed of Immunocal..which heals chronic diseases. I was diagnosed with a incurable jaw cancer which had no cure whatsover. The doctor said once it would be full blown and enter my salvia glands, I would die quickly and that this kind of cancer, thankfully gave no pain & the best was to write my will. So I went home not discouraged as am a Iroquois Medicine Woman & I said that I would find a way. I did. Immunocal..same product that healed Celine Dion`s our famous singer`s husband Rene Angill who had throat cancer & was healed with Immunocal. So I said I had nothing to lose & that was 3 yrs ago. Yesterday, I went to see a specialiste for the jaw & he said, Madam, you have nothing! You are normal, there is absolutely nothing! No infection, no inflamation, no disease! I was elated!!! My personal doctor was amazed when I went to see him.. when I had started taking this. He had thorough blood tests made, bone scan & heart as »I had had a stroke.. All the tests came back fine..as if I had never been ill, bone scan was perfect and heart stroke..never showed up on the test..it was as if I never had one..he made me copies of all the tests to show as proof and told me to keep on taking Immunocal and the supporting products »I brought to him for his opinion..he said all was great. Plus it is Canadan approved in the CPS Medical book of doctors and pharmacists and FDA in the RedBook. You can imagine how my doctor is going to be so happy to see that my jaw is fine, no more blood out of mysinus, and tinnitus…gone! I lost 70lbs. I am called a Miracle..and I am! You know chemicals may keep us alive but never cures us..natural products do if arrived on time. We never heard of cancer etc to be rampant in my time ..am 69 and by the way..people think am 49! Plus, my hair has thickend, my eyelashes and eyebrows have grown back..plus my white hair is turning black. It is amazing..go see..! They are even having great results with autisim with children! I have no diabetis, no more heart problems,cholesterol,high blood pressure, kidney,intestinal, digestive, and no more incontinence..operation cancelled. Walking with no cane, bones of my feet straightening out, and am wearing no glasses..only when I drive as it is written I must. Plus am born partially deaf! Well, my hearing since a year has been getting better..for the first time in my life I heard snow crunch under my boots..I can hear the birds sing and my cats meow. My hearing is getting better & better.. my ostheporisis is practically non-existing..was supposed to get a knee operation which I don`t need anymore..the other day as I was walking..I heard my knee snap..right into place! I still limp a little but at least I need no cane! I will never quit taking this..God`s Pharmacy is better than Man`s chemical one. Please look into this!

I pray that i never get cancer, but if I do, i’ll consider moving near a Mayo Clinic.
