For Older People with Sense

I also liked the presentation by Susan Love, thanks for sharing it. It seems like she is one of us and gets the consequences of treatments. I agree we are all aware and need to go for the cure.

I am going back on the arimidex. Since I have about half a bottle left,I said I would try again. They don't seem to want to switch me to anything else. But I don't like how they keep saying for me to tough it out. Oh well, my PCP said she has had patients that took a break and had less se's when they resumed. So we'll see. Remember it is the practice of medicine.

I get fitted for my hearing aids tomorrow. There was a story on the national news last night about how people are losing their hearing earlier nowadays. Glad I fit right in with the crowd.

Lisa, I read somewhere that the sensitivity is part of hearing loss. Movies are too loud for me also. DH drums with a Samba band and I carry ear plugs in my purse at all times.

What are you doing awake at this time miss Chris. Not that I can talk. Saw family off to Canada last night

My DD is now a Canadian resident. At least getting in was easier than leaviung here. They were a little over weight and the guy was officious about it. Think there may have bee something said because later he actually left the desk to help them sort it out. I have a few thing to take over but all they did was reorganise the bags putting more in the hand luggage.

It has been a hard day, was fine yesterday while helping get packed etc but today feel very sad.

Where in Canada will they be living? It will give you a good reason to visit. Skype is a good way to keep in touch because you can see each other. It will feel lonely for a while, I know. (((((HUGS)))))

SoCal Lisa, this is a NorCal Lisa saying WHAT a spectacular rose!!!

Has anyone else received an e-mail from "Marybe?" At least two of us have. Do NOT click on the address in the e-mail, it could download a virus, trojan, etc.

If anyone can notify her husband, please do so. If he doesn't already know, he needs to. Stealing her identity could cause him a lot of time, stress and money. Someone may have stolen her ID by hacking her computer info or tracing her back from an online source.

And anyone receiving one of these e-mails should seriously consider changing their e-mail address.

Sorry for the disturbing news. 

Wish I had been able to grow them!:-)

Lisa, thank you for sharing gorgeous photos of the roses.  They are stunning! 

These rose pictures go a long way to cheering me up.  Thanks.

On a serious note, I was surfing the channels this morning and caught something on the 700 Club that sounded very interesting.  It was a doctor from the U of South Florida who has been researching fighting cancer by depriving them of carbs, mainly glucose.  This is something I have been wondering about since my last pet scan when I got the shot of glucose.  The tech said that cancer cells love glucose and the cancer would draw the glucose like a magnet so the cancer would show on the scan.  This made me wonder why neither of the two oncologists I have had for my two bouts ever spoke of diet.  Anyway, the patient who was interviewed had metastatic cancer in his skeletal frame and was given three months to live.  He decided to try the no carb diet and is now cancer free for over one year.

Has anyone heard of this or had any success with a no carb diet while fighting the big "C"?

Chrissy,

thanks for your reply.  I have no problem with the gluten free or no carb except for dairy - love milk, yogurt and cheese.  How do you replace them?
