Default Leesa here - May not be around much

Hello all ~ I've just gotten out of the hospital after a week's stay. I entered due to having trouble breathing, and came out with lung and spine cancer.

Looks like it started in the lungs then metastasized to the spine - with more news to come. I have loads of tests to go thru yet, with chemo & radiation to follow.

So if someone could possibly pick up with the deciphering of the MRI's I'd sure appreciate it. I probably won't be around much for awhile til these tests, etc. are done. I'll try to help as much as I can.

Thanks all and God bless. Hugs, Lee

Heart Oh Leesa

Dear Woman I am so sorry that this has happened to you. I don't have the right words to say to you. I care about you deeply. Take care of your needs, and know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
I am in no way as good as you are, but I do look up everything on MRI's that I am not sure about. I will try to help folks with that and follow in your footsteps. It will just take me some time to look up all the information, and I don't mind at all. Just take care of yourself. I will be here for you too, anytime you need a shoulder.
You have been through so much in life already. I feel so bad that this cancer has been addred to your burdens. God bless and keep you safe Leesa. I am here for you. ginnie

I am very saddened to learn about this turn of events for you,
Leesa.

Stay strong, and determined. I wish you the best.

I won't be online much until Sept...we are going upNorth for an extended vacation. (no electricity up there).So I have only a little opportunity to log onto the internet.

I hope to see you posting, when I return.

In the meantime please read about Pansy's reversal of metastasis, from her breast cancer and how she did it:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/sh...967#post238967

I had a patient once who did very well on chemo by supplementing with flaxoil too.
