Hi Everyone,

I haven't written in a while (been busy), but thought I'd let you all know
that I recently had a very good check up.  As most of you know I was
diagnosed with stage 1V Ovarian Cancer in April 1999.  After undergoing
chemo and surgery, I've been in remission, since finishing treatment in
October 1999 .... for 4 years.

I had a CT in June 03 and there was some concern that I had perhaps
reoccurred. Something (a density) had showed up on the CT and a lymph node
was enlarged. An Ultra-sound revealed that a piece of bowel had moved, which
explained the density and my Ca 125 came in at 11.7 (less than 35 is
normal), so everything was wonderful, except for the enlarged lymph node,
which was still a bit worrying. With this in mind, my Dr recommended 3 month
check ups, instead of the 6 month interval that I had been on.

So, even though all the tests were OK, the enlarged lymph node bothered me,
so I decided to increase my flax-oil intake by one tablespoon (to 3) and see
if that made a difference.  So, when I went for my check up this time (Sept
18th), it was with bated breath, fingers and toes crossed.  The CT report
stated that the lymph node was noticeably reduced and everything else was
AGAIN OK!  So, now, I'm back onto 6 month check ups with more faith than
ever in Johanna Budwig's FO/CC/GFS protocol.

At the beginning I was taking just one tablespoon of the FO with 1/4 cup
cottage cheese, as I was watching my weight :-(

I used this quantity for a couple of years and managed to stay very healthy.
When a small bump appeared at the base of my incision scar, (a few months
ago) I was a bit worried, because as anyone who has or had cancer knows ....
Every little lump or bump is in your terrified 'imagination,' evidence that
the cancer is back.  So  wanting to be pro-active instead of reactive, I
added a tablespoon FO to my mix (2) and took it that way for 5-6 weeks.
Guess what?  The bump absolutely disappeared.  I was amazed and it proved to
me again that this JB protocol is the best thing since sliced bread!

So, I think that 3 tablespoons of FO with the CC, will be my 'special'
amount for ever.  And yes, I do bruise more easily, but that is a small
price to pay to still be alive and well and *HERE* still on this earth! I
still take a 325 mg Asprin every day (Dr's order after having blood clots in
my lungs when diagnosed). I also take Celebrex (for Arthritis) and vitamin
E.  So the 'slight' bruising can probably attributed to the other 'thinning'
stuff as well as the flax-oil.

Well, that's all for now.
Take care ...
sandy Lightfoot.
