    Lisa, I do not see your decision as giving up, I see it as going onto the next treatment. Keep up the positive attitude and I am sure you are gonna come out of this smelling like a rose. I will keep you in my prayers. God bless you. :)

    Hi Lisa,
    You have never given up and tried what the onc advised. It did not do the job completely, maybe this new approached will help.You are going forward, with a new approach, which will make you feel more empowered. You have the right to make any decision on your health.
    It is great that your onc agrees.God willing you have many more years ahead. Do not over tire your self,one minute,one hour, one day at the time.
    juicing will give you more energy, it does for me.

    Hello Lisa ~

    I know, it's been a long, long, long time since I've posted or replied to anything. I do check in once or twice a week...

    Anyway, your post inspired me to say hello to you and to offer you my whole-hearted support. No, you're not giving up - moving on to other options is more like it. The key is to BELIEVE you are doing the right thing and it sounds like you do.

    Since you are looking into other healing methods - have you thought about Reiki? It is healing touch. It can be quite powerful, if not simply comforting. Just like any other practitioner, finding the right one might take a little trial and error, if you know what I mean. There are folks out there who practice Reiki with a Christian influence, which might be good for you. Just something to think about....

    I will most certainly keep you in my warmest thoughts and prayers.

    Steady on....Katie

    my dear Lisa
    I am honored to know you. You continue to be a light of wisdom, peace, and strength. I empathize with what it takes to make the decision to not do any more chemo. I am so glad that you already have in place the supportive elements like diet and supplements and faith. You are a seasoned traveler who is just traveling lighter now. I continue to hold you, and your family, close in my heart.

    I also applaud the relationship you've built with your oncologist so that he knows you, is on the same page as you, and thus can support you.

    love, Leslie

    PS Just one of the many things I've learned from you: I take chlorella which my doc wholeheartedly supports :-)

    Hi Leslie,

    Glad you're taking the chlorella & glad your doc supports that. Thank you for your comments and support- it does mean a lot to me. :)

    Hi Lisa,
    I haven't posted or responded in a long time, but I think of you and several others often. I am glad you are making a decision that you feel good about. This will give your body some time to build up.
