We are thinking of you and Ange said it was good to see you at the rink last week. Good to hear the appetite is good - donut vs the hole - I agree and have not let too many donuts get by.<br />We learned some hard lessons with Taylor and found out that doctors have the right to "practice" medicine - this is "game time" and you need to pullout all the stops - look at everything.<br />See you soon.<br /><br />Brad and AngelaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413546632441000423.post-59356918413062612232010-01-26T20:56:22.171-05:002010-01-26T20:56:22.171-05:00Please ask your naturopathic Dr about Eissac and w...Please ask your naturopathic Dr about Eissac and what effects is has for cancer patients.I heard that its amazing.

Keeping in mind the strength of the chemo finally feeling its effects is so part of it. Let yourself flow Dave with what your body needs at the time. Be nice to yourself(listening to what it needs)not something I have ever been good at. You both are doing so awesome at handling this difficult chapter in your lives. I read just today that goat's milk helps with acid in the stomache.

I have never been a good sound sleeper & wake up often in the night and like others that have written I also am taking it as a queue to pray for you all.I remember my surgeon telling me that all the patients that the specialists see are the people that are suffering with their disease; they don't see the ones that are well and survivors. He said your family doctor has a more balanced picture and that was an encouragement to me as I believe it is true. <br />Just a note of caution re crossing the border - Because you had the bone and brain scan your body is radioactive somewhat and the scanners at the border will pick you up right away while in the car line-up and you will most probably be surrounded. It could be quite amusing and good for a laugh and you will be the centre of attention :-) but I suggest you take a note from your doctor - especially in these days of heightened security.(It happened to my neice.)<br />Our love & prayers Barb& ChuckAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413546632441000423.post-12762737006754219812010-01-25T22:07:44.078-05:002010-01-25T22:07:44.078-05:00Hi guys.

Mind you I'm not surprised that you are still cracking jokes every chance you get! Val you are a trooper and Dave is very lucky to have you in his corner. Alot of people just do what the doctors say and thats unfortunate because it is true that the squeaky wheel gets the grease!! You are in charge not them so keep up the good work!!<br />I believe you are on the right track with the diet changes. Not sure if you have had time or even have heard about the website icurecancer.com. There are plenty of good alternative treatments out there. Not sure if this will give you any new ideas but its worth a try.<br />The Harrison's all send their best to you and your family. Keep up the good work Val and Dave you listen to your wife!!!<br />Lots of Love and Prayers to you Dave. <br />Michelle and JeffUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846631720532917836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413546632441000423.post-19955931771155605232010-01-25T21:48:38.879-05:002010-01-25T21:48:38.879-05:00icurecancer.com

We have long gotten over the fact that that they're just numbers. We are confident that Dave will beat this and be an awesome testament! Right now he feels crappy because of chemo mainly, and that's just the reality of chemotherapy. <br /><br />Thank you for the verse and we certainly do have hope!

I can’t imagine this is easy for you and having to stay positive all of the time. Please take comfort in that Dave is an anomaly to these statistics and try to see them for what they are… numbers that are given when a Doctor has nothing else to offer. Remember these stats were not for an early 40 year old, who is in good health, who is seeking alternatives to traditional medicine… who has 200 people praying for him at an exact moment in time !!! I cried and I prayed for you both all the way home from work today (after I read your update). God’s will… I haven’t picked up my bible in a few years and it was the first thing I did when I got in the door to find something/anything to inspire Dave… take note not what I am doing for Dave but what Dave is doing for me (and many others) !! <br /><br />Psalm 71:14 (New International Version)<br />But as for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more<br /><br />Much love and HOPE,<br />Auntie JeannieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413546632441000423.post-46921657375688123662010-01-25T09:04:19.262-05:002010-01-25T09:04:19.262-05:00Thanks Charlene!
Good to hear from you. A friend ...Thanks Charlene!<br /><br />Good to hear from you. A friend actually dropped some sublingual Melatonin off, and our naturopath suggested it as well. Dave tried it, but didn't find that it made a difference. I think it's the 5-FU he's on that is keeping him awake. He was able to sleep OK before he started chemo. I'll encourage him to try it again for more than one night this time.<br /><br />Thanks so much for your support! Hope you are doing well!<br />ValValeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05223049691281174678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413546632441000423.post-1564850675846433062010-01-25T03:58:42.203-05:002010-01-25T03:58:42.203-05:00Val, just found a new link should read it.

It is a lot to take in but I know what it feels like. I have not been able to sleep at night either. I really can't remember how long it has been. It was great when I was in the hospital, all the meds helped me sleep and i had no hot flashes... which was wonderful. It did not take long though, the sleepless nights and extreme hot flashes, awful!! Anyway, I tried Melatonin 5mg. it is produced in the brain, naturally and sometimes we don't produce enough, so I tried it and for the last few nights it has worked!! It might be worth a try for Dave. Here is hoping that it works. Also, if you decide to go to Michigan and you need a lay over, you are more than welcome to stay here,just let me know...take care my thoughts and prayers are with you always.
