Thank to all!

Keep thinking you will beat it Staying positive is so important. Praying for healing for all of us.

Sorry to hear you have heart problems from the latest rounds of chemo. I had 13 sessions of 2 different types of chemo and many side effects. Exhaustion, stomach pain and back pain. Cognitive decline,balance is off. I’m 10 months from the start of my pancreatic cancer. Good luck.

I am a 2 1/2 year survivor from stage four pancreatic cancer. Survival is possible talk to your doctors and nurses and other patients. This is a great support group.

Some of you may be interested in the metabolic approach to healing. Dr. Seyfried from Boston College is extremely knowledgeable about cancer being a metabolic disease so therefore Chemo isn’t the only way to treat cancer. Dr Seyfried promotes the ketogenic diet. His goal while on the keto diet is to keep your glucose level low. Eliminate the sugar which cancer thrives on. I follow his recommendations as far as reducing the sugar intake. Each day ,morning and evening I take a manual test for my glucose level and Ketone level, then input those levels into an instrument that computes your GKI level through the (Glucose Ketone Index) its a metabolic marker that helps assess how effectively the body is in a state of therapeutic ketosis — a metabolic condition where ketones, not glucose, are the primary fuel source. In the cancer context, it’s used to measure and guide metabolic therapy strategies such as the ketogenic diet and adjunctive metabolic interventions.

We will pray for you I went thru cancer, critical things to do Eat well Sleep well Take vitamins, as allowed by your Dr Try to take Ensure or any of those enhanced drinks Good luck!!!

Continue to hang in there. Prayer always helps

Stay strong. It’s a lot to deal with but you have to keep pushing,don’t give up. Give God a chance , he will never give up on you. He has a plan for you. Trust him and Believe in him. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
