In case you are lucky enough to not know what N E D stands for...let me tell you...It means ...No Evidence of Disease....and in my case, as you all know...it means no evidence showed up on your latest cat scan of your lung cancer...

Thought I'd share the good news...she said she was going to go out on a limb and say that I am in remission...no guarantees of how long it will last...but I'll take it.

So get my gardening hat ready...I'm growing some veggies.

    Congratulations!

    While medicine is the only cure for cancer, the chemo and pills, there is some herbal stuff you can make or buy that is researched proven so far to help cancer victims.

    Eat lots of Omega 3, milk thistle, and baking soda. They say it makes healing much faster with them.

    They are doing a lot of research on baking soda and you can find all kinds of herbal remedies with it mixed with maple syrup. Omega 3 has always been good for anything, but it helps the immune system I think. Milk thistle helps heal the liver which is what most chemotherapy destroys. It can prolong cancer patients life.

    You must be proud! I had scare with a fatty tumor under my armpits, mammograms showed them to be harmless. I hope they stay that way!

    You must be proud! Happy gardening!

    Congratulations! As a fellow cancer survivor (breast cancer, 3 years out), I can both empathize and rejoice with you. My garden was a major part of my recovery, and I know yours will be for you, too.
