letters

well, i have to say, i have had quite an over whelming response to my blog (a little more so than i anticipated...)
I firstly want to say a HUGE thank you for sharing your experiences and i really hope i some how help you, either by listening, or aiding by also sharing.
I am sending you all BIG hugs and wish you good health along the path you are walking.
Those of you starting Chemo this week (and a lot more people than i thought have shared they are now going through this) Be strong, stay POSITIVE! and above all else, try and at least find something to smile (or attempt a laugh at) each day. I know it's hard but please try.
sending you positivity, hope, strength and BIG smiles ;-) i love you!

i want to share an unusual email i received and one i am not sure whether to take seriously.
(i apologise if i offend the author, this is not my intent. I have deleted the name accordingly)
as i have been bombarded with eating / diet suggestions - yes, i am taking a 'mostly' organic diet now, eating Cordyceps daily (also known as 'winter worm - summer grass') as well as drinking lots of fresh fruit and vegetable juices.

anyway, thought I'd share this, in the hope it may help others.... i have added my own notes (in brackets) next to the letter

Hello Ms Elrick,
I am a cancer researcher and do cancer research in US. I am just checking around Internet and finding your blog. You are a great lady.There is some information which I am not quite sure whether it is really work or not.
For Dendritic cells therapy:Dendritic cells vaccine + thermotherapy will works better. (yes i have heard of this also, the clinic i attend also has this option) In Germany, Dr. Roberta Gorter are using that to treat patient and are more successful.
For Nutrition:You can tried Gerson therapy:For cancer treatment. i have heard great things and looking into this
You can tried to find a book " one answer to cancer " written by Kelly and his follower is Gonzalez.
For cervical cancer, around one hundred years ago, there is a doctor use syphilis to cure for his patient.If you interested in it, I can give more information.
Good wishes,
L** Z***
personally, not so sure about the syphilis thing but who am i to knock research (though i will avoid personally trying this out!) was this a 'personal' offer????

anyway, i really do appreciate all info, help and tips that will aid myself and all others in ensuring a healthy and fulfilling LONG life. please keep them coming in.
If there is anything in specific you would like me to share please let me know.
