    Hi ,   just reading your post and I have never heard of doing these juices therapy, I suppose to help the immune system.  Are they helping your mum?

    Hi Lilianahomes and Kernow200, 

    I can see you've been talking about juicing so I just wanted to point you in the direction of our complementary and alternative therapies section on our website.

    It's important to let your medical team know about anything you're having or trying as it may interfere with any conventional treatment you may be having, so be sure to let them know what you've been diet wise - including what you've been juicing - so they can make sure it's safe for you to have.

    I also wanted to make you aware of the following information about swallowing tumeric on our website: There have been some reports of stomach pain if too much turmeric is swallowed and skin problems if it is taken for a long time. For these reasons we recommend that if you use curcumin for reasons other than in cooking, you should talk to your doctor first. So do be careful and let your doctor know what you're doing.

    Best wishes to you both.

    Hi Lauren7686,

    Just wanted to see how you are.  I've decided to take a work friend with me on Monday.  I'm quite a private person and usually deal with things on my own.  But she found a lump on her neck last year and it was cancer.  Hers is low grade and monitored.  So she will understand the process.

    I am so worried, I hate this disease with a passion, thinking of you.

    Hi my lump was a reactive lymph node.  But I have to keep an eye on it throu.  I've been wondering how your doing.    You must be on a rollercoaster of emotions.   

    Is the appointment tomorrow about any further treatment?   And you yourself how are you coping?  I'm always here for you xx

    Hi Lauren.

    I am new to this forum, I joined on Wednesday night, after my wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, which has already spread - the extent of which we are yet to find out until we get the biopsy results. But it isn't looking good.

    My wife is 47. I'm 3 years older. We had a son later on in life, I suppose, and he's only 7. We went through 3 miscarriages before CJ was born. My wife's whole life revolves around him, she absolutely adores CJ, and the only thing that she's frightened of right now is not the cancer, but leaving him behind, not seeing him grow up. She knows that I will be there for him (I have been a single parent before, from a previous marriage, I raised my older son alone, and he is now 25).  

    There is nothing that I can say that can make your situation any easier. But I do now have a good grasp of what you're going through, it's happening to my wife; she has exactly the same fears as you do. All I can say is this; when circumstances change, children are unbelievably resilient, and adaptable. Our 7 year old son is autistic, apparently resistant to change and yet, with his mom in hospital for almost a week now, he's just... well, got on with it. There has not been the slightest upset that his mom isn't with us right now. This was something neither my wife or I ever expected, coz he usually has a meltdown at the slightest thing!!! And it was the same with my older son, when me and his mom split up, and he came to live with me. He just took it on the chin and got on with it!

    Sending you, and your family, all of my love tonight, Lauren. Stay strong, as hard as that might be. You're not going through this alone. We are all in the same boat, and we're here to help.
