Re: Not ready

Ann,

Is there anyone you can talk to who has done the procedure and may have some good tips?

I know a woman who was diagnosed stage IV from the start six years ago with multiple liver mets. She takes alot of supplements along with something called Immunocal and there are no more mets. I am looking into taking it, but I don't drink dairy and I don't know if it will agree with me, so I'm on the fence right now. I think that is the key; to make your body as strong a possible. You have abit of time before your procedure to boost it abit.

Remember to keep the big picture in front of you. Your son's graduation and beyond.

Take care.
