Nutrition and Cancer
I received this from MD Anderson today. I am sure that many of you will be interested in participating:

Would you like to talk to an M. D. Anderson expert about Nutrition and Cancer?

Dena Norton, Senior Clinical Dietitian at M. D. Anderson, joins Ask the Expert January 7-11 to answer patients' and their caregivers' questions about nutrition and cancer.

Ask the Expert, Anderson Network's online message board, allows cancer patients and caregivers to submit questions to M. D. Anderson experts on specific topics. Subscribe or log on to the board at www.mdanderson.org/asktheexpert to submit questions January 7-11, 2008 or to view past topics archived on the site. These topics include lymphedema, clinical trials, fatigue, cancer prevention, patient safety, exercise and bone health, as well as site-specific questions and answers.

Regards
Joe

Oh Thank you Joe for this information. I love the "Ask The Expert" over at the John's Hopkin Site and have now signed up to this one. This site even has a chat. Very cool!!!!!!

And yes, the always important cancer and nutrition is something I'm always reading about and trying to participate in.

So thank you, thank you, thank you ONCE AGAIN for ALL you do.

Mary Jo

Ahhhh Yah, what Nitewind said!! LOL
One of the constants here for Mighty Oak besides undergoing treatment for 16 months+ is the nutritional problems, and the problems associated with his low Potassium levels. I agree, no better time for us too. Thanks Joe>>Believe51
