<DT id=content1 style="DISPLAY: block; FONT-SIZE: 1em; WIDTH: 100%" name="rte0">So just a few weeks ago, I was in the hospital again. My liver was in near fatal failure (a rejection from the bone marrow transplant). I was so yellow, my body was glowing green like a dead corpse (no lie) - very scary) and my eyes looked like special effects out of an X-Man movie! I had gotten the best treatment there is for what I have (a horse serum), and it wasn't working at first. The doc was truly upset. They sent me home to do MY thing...cleanse my liver with milk thisle, cut out all sugar, eat only slow burning good carbs, lots of vegies and fruit, tons of water...My bilirubin (liver function number) was a 12 in the hospital. After taking very good care of myself....drum roll please...the bilirubin is down to 2.9 as of yesterday!!!!! Anything lower then 1 is good. I am pink again, and my eyes are nearly all white again! I feel amazing and I am Breast cancer, metastatic BC and leukemia free, and the liver is on the mend!!!! My legs are still very weak - can't climb a stare to save my life - I need a hoist. But I can walk far distances and I am still on heavy duty steroids. I'm thinking of hiring myself out to clean closets sort paperwork, scrapbook...whatever. All the things I've ignored over the last few years of being sick are completed (baby books, photo albums, closets, tax files...) I'm like a mad woman...I've lost 60 lb since the leukemia all started and am happy at this weight. My sister and I went to see Def Leppard and Styx for my 44th birthday present at the Mohegan Sun Casino last week - great show - while my Mom played the 25 cent slots. She won a few hundred dollars and gave me some money to buy some new clothes. I am back to the size I was before all this breast cancer crap started! Not quite pre-baby weight, but this feels really good! This weekend, my daughter and I are going to a hot air balloon festival. She, to see a band (of course) and me to take a five minute ride up in a hot air ballooon (a big dream of mine) I can't afford a real ride $$$$, but I can do the five minute thing. This is on my list of things to do...so I am very excited! I pray you all feel better and have small and large miracles in your life....Love to all -
