Web Page Update

I forwarded this web page to my dear friends and family asking for their support in passing the word on adrenal cancer. I was amazed at the responses. I received email from people I had never met offering their prayers. Another response came from my cousin who has a kidney illness I never knew about but decided to tell me because he had read my page. More than once I got mail saying it helped someone they knew going through a similar situation. Thank you to everyone who took the time to write and also to those who passed the page on.

Yo soy vegetariano

I became a vegetarian after my last surgery last year. Although not a true vegan since I still eat eggs. Giving up meat today for Ash Wedesday is not much of a sacrifice so I will be giving up coffee and chocolate, for 40 days. I used to work with someone who fasted every Monday for health and religious reasons. She would sit with us while we ate and she would sip her tea. I read from one of Dr. Andrew Weil's books that it's actually healthy to fast each week. It cleanses the body. I don't know if I could do that but it would be great to cleanse my innards. Since last year I've been reading a lot of cancer books and found out that meat makes the liver work harder than it has to. Since I had a part of my liver removed I hope to lighten the work load down there. They say the liver regenerates and it sure did. The right side (the side they carved out) is now bigger than the left side!

Pulling my hair

I need to get my page together. I've been pulling my hair out one by one because I'm having a problem organizing my thoughts. The problem is that I don't know exactly what I want to convey. I pray that the ideas continue to flow. Sooner or later I have to finish this. I have given myself a deadline for St. Patrick's Day or when I go bald, whichever comes first.
