Almost 7 years and no real changes. I exercise 5 - 6 days a week, but I did before cancer too. I do try to eat well.....keep my weight in check....but I did that before cancer too. Some days I do awesome and some days I don't. The one change that I have made, that I did not do pre-cancer was supplements. I remember at first taking any and all that even hinted at there being a benefit, but I don't do that any more either. I take fish oil....Vit. D3. (5000 i.u.) and turmeric. That's it.

The one change that really did evolve since this journey began is that I am a HUGE lover of life and all it has to offer AND all I have to offer it. God has changed my world and it's no longer about me but about what God can do through me to make life better for others. For as long as the Lord chooses to have me here, I will live it in service to others and be thankful for the good health I now enjoy.

Great thread..thanks for starting it.
