Smile Thanks for the warm thoughts

Good to hear from some of you who have been away or not posting, so I hope that all is well for you too at this time.

Lisa - No, I did not contact the Oprah show. They should do something just on Herceptin, but that did not seem to be the focus this time as I looked at what they wanted to know. Maybe several of us SHOULD contact them about Herceptin for a more in depth show.

Jackie - Thanks for asking. I am slacking off a little on some of my supplements now as I am stronger and reasonably recovered from my surgery in early Feb. But here are the ones that I stick by:

Barleans Flaxseed oil caps
Emergen-C - multivits with Calcium
A respiratory cleanse pill, but not every day
Vitamin D when there is no sun
CoQ10 in a special absorbancy formula 100mg
For mental clarity - either Neurozyme by New Chapter or Mental Clarity Lion's Mane Mushroom complex (also New Chapter)
A good vit B complex if my allergies are really acting up or have a cold
Olive Leaf - but not all the time

I take Quinine for my leg and foot cramps, but not every day

I still avoid caffeine and drink a lot of herbal teas

I almost forgot to include my weekly ration of organic dark chocolate - either the 75% or 90% cocoa. This is my favorite antioxident.

Congratulations Steph!
You must be on cloud 9!
Your news offers me (and, I'm sure,many others) tremendous hope to live a long and normal carefree life after breast cancer!
Breast cancer does NOT have to be the scary thing it was years ago!
I am nearing the end of my Herceptin/Taxol combo and my onc told me that she would be shocked if I had to come back to her because of a recurrence.
I was afraid she may have been just trying to make me feel good, but now that I hear your news, I know that it IS possible!
Thank you for sharing your good news and may you continue to hear nothing BUT good news!
Sadie

Smile Great News

Hi Steph,
It was so wonderful to come back from my trip and read your news. I hope that you stay NED and will find some way to get into the vaccine trial. Your story gives me and a lot of others hope. Thank you for sharing and for all the encouragement you offer on this site.
Best wishes,
Barbara H.
