Hello Rosie,

I am so sorry to hear of your battle with leukemia but glad to hear you are in remission. Having any kind of chronic illness is a stresser to our minds and bodies.

When I saw your question, "now what, what do I do?" the only thing that came to my mind is to take one day at a time and trust God. I know that may sound like a cliche but it is what gets me through. No matter who we are, or what kind of illness we are facing, that is where we will find peace. I wish you the best.

I wanted to say thank you for your kind words,it sounds like you are spritualy minded. I only made it through my cancer because of him.
Now im going to focues on giveing back to him.
thanks again.

Rosie

Rosie, is apml the same as AML type leukemia?

Rosie, I'm sorry to hear of your situation. cancer is a bummer. I'm thankful it's going away. As for Faith, I ditto SimpleTruths. God is the only way I made it through the throat cancer I was diagnosed with 13 years ago. Pull deeply into God!
Since I lost a LOT of weight from the treatments etc, etc. I have had all these years to read books, articles, also things from internet findings, notes from doctors, I am thouroughly convinced that Nutrition is the key. Eating good takes us a long way. We all have heard the term 'You ARE what You eat', i know it's true. I bought a book called 'Beating Cancer With Nutrition', it has some recipes in it, I plan on buying another book with similar title. Also take a good quality multi-vitamin, I take Mark Sissons 'Damage Control Advanced Health Formula', it's less than his "Master Formula"(with the economy like it is!) But please-please cook and eat right. NO SUGAR! sugars feeds cancer!(sugar water is what they use in a PET-Scan) Use agavee or stevia when/where you can, also avoid white breads/pastas and eat only 100% whole wheat!

Our Faith in the Lord God Almighty plays such a giant role. I have smoked forever(Time to quit cigs huh?) and had cancer and now a stroke and God has brought me through it all!! There is NO WAY I can ignore that fact and I never will! Thank You God and Christ Jesus, i am alive (not enough room in this message to tell you all I've been through ) I almost forgot, please look at your local Christian Book Store for a pocket booklett titled 'God's Creative Power For Healing' by Charles Capps. I read parts of it every day just as it suggests in the text. It contains Healing Scriptures, and I believe it had a lot to do with me getting through those 3 years!.
God is indeed a good Father!
PrivateMessage me if You'd like, because I rarely come back and visit these posts I make.

Take care,

Am a cancer survivor, lost my husband in my 30's ...am 50 now and finally figured out I suffer from anxiety attacks...am going through the program, finding it really helpful. Still worry about the cancer coming back...anyone else out there feel the same?

Hi, I am a 27 year survivor of ovarian cancer. I have had 3 bouts with it. In 2009 I had a occurrence again this time I've been through 4 rounds of chemo and my count is still 97 should be below 30. I have lost 4 tumors. But it just seem to keep holding on no mater what. I just started the program last week and I am already doing better with my thing of positive things instead on negative. I pray this work because I have tried everything else and nothing is getting me out of the depression that I am in. I'll stay in touch and keep you up dated. But I think I am on the right track now. Don't forget to pray for me.

Hi, this is rose 23 but it's been so long I had to use a different name. so now it's rosie27. If any one wants to further the topice on cancer I will be making a effort to visit at least every day, as my own form of therapy would love a regular person to talk to, u know no one really gets u unless they have had it.
