Guest guest Report post Posted August 4, 2003 Hi Dawn, I am 56 and only have had this for three years. Had a myotomy last February and I feel fine now. After your 1985 surgery did you have any time when you were symptom free? Have you been having symptoms recently or did all these yucky things happen even though you felt fine? You have had a lot of experience with this. I am wondering what the future might hold for me. Kathy Washington hello > HI there, I just joined this group.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 4, 2003 Have you had the myotomy? +++++ I don't think so, I had regular surgery. dawn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted August 4, 2003 HI Kathy, Yeah I feel fine, no worse than usual, my doc just sent me for a regular look-see. I am ok most of the time I am awake, it is at night, if I am not careful, I get reflux. I pretty much eat all day long and always have a bottle of water or drink of some kind around, and that seems to keep everything going in the right direction <down>. I have to be careful to chew everything well, raw carrots get stuck and sometimes a chip will get stuck. I am just used to the way I am. Some times are better than others. Stress makes it really bad, and occasionally I will have the old spasms in my chest. I take some antacid and water and then am ok. I guess the answer is no, I have never been symptom-free to the point I can eat like regular people. dawn +++++++++++++ After your 1985 surgery did you have any time when you were symptom free?Have you been having symptoms recently or did all these yucky things happen even though you felt fine? You have had a lot of experience with this. I am wondering what the future might hold for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted December 5, 2003 Hi , Just a quick note since I'm " on the run " with errands... Have you heard of the AMAS blood test for cancer? If not, it is something I think you should familiarize yourself with; in my opinion it is something everyone should know about and use. Don't depend on your doctor to know about it. Type AMAS into a search engine and start reading about it. Bob B.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 5, 2003 Welcome to the list, ! It's a great list and it saw me through my battle w/ cancer, thanks to all the wonderful people on this list. I'm 42 also, and was dx'ed w/ breast cancer almost five years ago. The first thing I would recommend would be a good quality progesterone cream, such as Life Flo's or even progesterone pills from Ortho Molecular Products. I used and continue to use progesterone, as it regulates the estrogen in the body. There are many things you can do, but the above would be a very good start.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 5, 2003 To : I agree with Judi's comments and would like to add something: 1.) take a look at Johanna Budwig's flaxseed oil and cottage cheese program; by adding this to your diet, you may avoid having to deal with cancer; 2.) also learn about B-17/amygdalin - adding a half a dozen apricot seeds to your diet may also be a simple way to prevent cancer. I have been reading about cancer alternatives for over 6 years - my wife has been dealing with cancer (first colon, then ovarian 16 years later). The two things I mentioned above, in addition to the progesterone cream, are things that are simple, inexpensive, won't hurt you, and may do as the proponents say - prevent cancer. It' something I will pass on to my kids so that they will have a better chance at avoiding cancer in their lives. Bob B. Re: Hello > Welcome to the list, !

Guest guest Report post Posted December 5, 2003 , what form are you talking about? I, and others, have simply called their toll-free number, asked for a " kit " , and promptly received one. You have to take the kit to your doctor (coordinate this ahead of time) and then send the blood samples to Oncolabs to get the results. The blood can be drawn in your doctor's office, and then " prepared " according to the instructions that comes with the kit, and then the blood samples are sent back using the kit that was sent to you. To you, and others, I strongly encourage you first take the time to read the information that is available at www.amascancertest.com . Once you feel you understand what this test is all about, then talk to your doctor (take some of the downloaded information with you for him/her to read). THEN, once everyone has been properly " educated " about the AMAS blood test, call and ask for the kit and DO it. I know this may sound like a lot of work, and it IS, at least compared to just showing up at a doctor's office and getting your blood tested. Since this test is not widely known, the only way you may get it to happen is to take the matter into your own hands. It's part of taking responsibility for your own health, which many do not do - they trust the " experts " to know and do everything. Well, that's ok if you want to accept what's " out there " and has been approved by consensus, but just remember how every other great discovery - from airplanes to penicillin - were slow to gain acceptance. Unfortunately, that's just the way it is... I hope this helps you and others who may be considering this very valuable tool in the fight against cancer. Bob B. Huntingdon Valley, Pa.
