Guest guest Posted February 6, 2002 Report Share Posted February 6, 2002 Wow Laurel, do we have the same sucky endo? I am also the queen of joint/muscle pains, horrible salivary gland pain, and all the other aches and pains. Guess what famous line I was given? " All those symptoms are not related to thyroid cancer. Follow up with your primary doctor. " Pardon me, but I think they are all full of " you know what " . Before this cancer, the only aches and pains I had were the next morning after a long night out at a club dancing with friends!! Hang in there.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2002 Report Share Posted February 6, 2002 Laurel, P.S. I am also a stage 3 papillary carcinoma with recent spread to the lymph nodes. You are not alone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2002 Report Share Posted February 6, 2002 Laurel, I found this site to be helpful. www.thyca.org When you get on their page select " Thyca Types " on the side bar. It describes the types of cancer and stages and treatment. I hope this is what you were looking for. With Best Wishes, Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 Be sure that ya'll get enough Calcium daily. It really does not matter what kind that you get, as long as it does the job, and keeps you healthy. This program should serve as a reminder that even those that try the no-dairy approach, should still get the recommended daily amount of CALCIUM. Just because we are advancing in age a bit, does not lessen the need. Does your diet have enough calcium???Enjoy a one-cup portion of milk and yogurt and a match box sized square of cheese and you'll be in good shape for the three-a-day calcium recommendation from the US Department of Agriculture. This new campaign to begin in March will try to combat the fact that most Americans eat only half of the recommended three servings of dairy they need each day.. That's tough news when nutrients in dairy products are known to build muscles and bones, maintain blood pressure, regulate cell growth and build red blood cells. For more information, go to www.3aday.org To reduce the risk of osteoporosis (and possibly colon cancer), shoot for 1000 mg (if you are 50 or younger) or 1200 (if you are over 50), but doses over 2000 mg a day or more may increase the risk of prostrate cancer, so don't go overboard. A days worth of calcium won't fit in most multivitamins. So if you don't eat three or four servings of low fat milk, yogurt, cheese, or calcium-fortified orange juice every day, you can take a 300 or a 400 mg calcium supplement for each serving that you miss, depending on your needs. There are many other ways to get the proper amount of calcium, but this seems to be one of the simple ways. Keep strong bones, because once they go, your mobility will be greater impaired.

Calcium How can I get more calcium? I am loading my foods into fitday.com and looking at the reports, I am only getting a very small percentage of calcium. Help!!!Also, my circle graph shows a lot of fat. I am eating olive oil on my salads and a pat of margarine on veggies. But boy sure shows a large percentage of fat in what I ate yesterday and today.Jackie in MichiganReminder: The South Beach Diet is not low-carb. Nor is it low-fat.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 I recommend you take a calcium supplement as well as a multi-vitamin. Don't be alarmed by the graph. It should be interpreted as a large part of the calories you're eating come from foods with fat (such as meats, cheese, milk, etc), but the quantity of calories is lower than most people so the actual fat grams is probably somewhere around the govt RDA, which is 62 grams I believe. Check your fat total count. After reviewing my numbers on fitday.com I had to cut nuts out. They're too tempting to return to. They're high calorie and high fat (for those who watch the numbers).
