Caroline, Thnk you for the uplifting comments.  Much of who I used to be seems to be gone right now. Each day running into the next , the journey hard and the future not Visable at this time. I dont really care about anything so its not even feasable to think of quitting. What a wonderful show of love for your dad I wish yu all the best.,,,,,  Al

Caroline, sorry it took so long to answer yu, my PC is a relic and works only when it wants to. Jenny is now in her 12th year of a cancer struggle, and has now been sent home to die. So my opinion is not real posative for conventional meds.  One could argue that we have been givin extended time with Jenny, but at what cost. I can think of no treatment that left us well, or better , or cured. And each came with a different set of side effects, none of which were fun. I had bladder cancer 6 yrs go, and so far I'm good. but I trust no one but my God for the days Im givin. I've put together a plan on my blog called "getting started" in my heart I believe it to be the very best treatment available on this planet. It involves getting OFF of processed foods and superfeeding our Immune System so it can heal the body as God intended. Your dads sickness trys to hurt him more each day, But even cancer has to bow its knee to the king of kings. God will decide our days. But we can greatly increase our chances by getting back to the foods created to sustain us.  my e-mail is alroth@hbci.com please mail if I can help. I'm not always able to log onto Whellsphere, Gods very best   Al
