Colon Cancer update from dad

Dad is still recovering after his surgery to remove the cancer in his colon. He is home already and in very good spirits: wanting to go shopping, go to the hairdresser and doing his normal every day activities. Yet his body is still weak: even a little walk makes father tired.
Now I am not a [...]

Dad out of hospital

We are at this moment taking dad out of the hospital (after his colon cancer surgery done last Monday).
Our main concern now is… who’s car makes the least bumps on the road
Father looks ok, just that his hands and feet are a bit swollen. Surely not as bad as with metastatic [...]

Update about mom

Seems when people reach a certain age, doctors love to perform surgery…
Anyway, mom’s arm has undergone surgery about 5 weeks ago now. She still has the companionship of her 2 sisters who are retired nurses, but you can feel that the sisters want to continue their lives as well.
So far it seems that mom’s [...]

Pancreatic Cancer Walk

How you can help to raise funds for pancreatic cancer!
Pancreatic cancer is the 4th leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States . It is a silent killer and this type of cancer spreads easily. Signs and symptoms may not appear until the disease is at the advanced stages. By that time, the cancer [...]

Weight loss pills that do work

I have been trying to loose some pounds and have tried a couple of diet pills including one from China that was eventually banned! It was supposed to be “totally natural” but well, it seems it was not. I was fortunate that I only took it for a short while and after reading about a [...]

What’s so sexy about perfume?

My favorite perfume at the moment is Emporio Armani Night by Giorgio Armani.
To me, it is feminine and seductive and it is not too overpowering. It leaves a lingering smell on your body after use and I use it daily. I have been using this for a while now and I still like it.
I [...]

Cattle services better than hospitals
Cattle services better than hospitals case study

How organic food prevents cancer

Why do we need to eat organic foods? It is one way of eating healthily and for us to maintain a healthy lifestyle and on top of that, it tastes better than non-organic foods. On the average, organic food has a higher level of vitamin C and essential minerals as well as cancer fighting antioxidants.

Upper back and shoulder pain

Since mom has pain in the shoulder and we all know that unlike cancer pain, this pain is curable, I am still puzzled where the pain comes from.
On mom’s right arm it’s obvious: a torn ligament, but mom’s left shoulder at least the ligament is completely ok. Yet according to the position mom sleeps in [...]

UK stair lifts

When father was suffering from metastatic liver cancer, he became weaker and weaker and sometimes fell down for no apparent reason. So his bedroom on the first floor became "off limits" because we never heard about affordable reconditioned stairlifts.
Reconditioned stairlifts are as reliability as a new stairlift yet much more affordable! They have been fully [...]

Role of tomatoes in cancer treatment

Or better said still: there seems to be a connection between cancer prevention and the consumption of tomatoes. A lot of tomatoes that is (if it was so easy only to eat a few tomatoes to become cancer free, why people would still have cancer? That wouldn’t make sense).
Unfortunately studies are very poor: you cannot [...]
