Andi, Thank you for your wealth of information. I will try some of the supplements. I agree stress plays a part in whether or not we heal. When I think back to the year before my diagnosis it was filled with nothing but stress, my husband and I lost our house that we had bought from my dad because of outstanding loans he had on it that we didn't know about, my husband and I both changed jobs (very stressful), my daughter was diagnosis with a precancerous cervical condition and my son who was 17 was always getting into trouble. All made for a very depressed me. All is better now, we bought a house and 2 mos later I was diagnosised. I have learned alot in the last year about letting go of past hurts and leaving the stress behind. I think of myself as a work in progress. In some ways the cancer has changed me for the better. I am going to try some of the supplements you suggested and get Dr. Gaynor's book and my gosh I am going to have a huge glass of wine which I have obstained from the past year. This weekend marks my one year survival!
