There was only one little blip in an ultrasound that made my gyn want to test. Most of the time, my Primary is directly opposed to what my gyn wants, so I'm trying to prepare for the debate between professionals . . .

May I ask what sort of cancer they suspect? I had a recent cancer scare and could maybe give you the benefits of my experience depending on what it is they are concerned about.

I do believe in the other people I have met who have come down this path and are healthy and happy people. I am quite happy for you to place the burden of proof on me. I am still truly amazed I have come this far and have done what I have done through alternative means. Think I've said enough!

Good! Engineer was talking about good science such as double blind studies, not testimonials best suited for The Journal of Irreproducible Results.

Congratulations to you that you are feeling better and your doctor has written you off her list (I wonder if she has a low whacko tolerance. Hmmmm...)

At any rate, glad you're all better now and won't need to trouble us anymore.
