About Me:: I am a cancer survivor....eat well, live simply, am happy most of the time, love nature, books, complex cuisine and live music. I practice qigong and meditation daily and treat my cancer with a mix of east (TCM, Reiki) and west (RDT, Rx) modalities.

What's your personal mission statement?: Let a smile be on my lips when I awake in the morning...

I even worked with a group of gynecological-oncologists out of Rhode Island Hospital. I'll ask them the next time they come through...It makes sense to me to tx like ovarian.

I've been wondering though recently, about how prior trauma/illness to certain areas of our body, even childhood stuff, might lead to a certain vulnerability, and maybe then having cancer appear many moons later in that same area....just wondering....

I was diagnosed with fallopian tube cancer. Have you known anyone else with that dx? It is rare - I heard only 1% of gyn. cancers are fallopian. I just want to chat with you about it, so I will start with that question. It seems like it is so rare that they really don't know how to treat it, so they treat it like ovarian cancer. Do you have any insight?
Thanks for your comments,
Bonphire

I've done 3 sessions so far. Ouch, i wish i could say 13 or 30, my last one... ; )
Nothing worrying so far except the fact that i might have to have a blood transfusion next week as my haemoglobin count was down... Great!
I was told that mine was 10.9 and the no they need is 12 apparently... Arghhh!
Hope all is good with you! : )
Take care.
Alice
