I'm sorry to hear about your

I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. That was the way it went for me, too. Chemo and radiation to shrink it then surgery. Funny you should mention the baking soda, that just came up on my facebook page tonight and I reposted it saying it was crap and I'm tired of supposed cures being posted. It's based on the acid/alkalai environment and is supposedly helpful to prevent cancer. My friend's husband who is very much into fitness and competes in body building and is into nutrition and designs diets for clients is a fan of it. He told me about it this past summer so I went home and checked it out and it's another cancer cure that doesn't work. Sorry to be negative but you'll get a lot of people who only be too happy to offer useless information that is of no help at all.

Curcumin is one I haven't heard of, though.

Anyway, you've come to the right place. Here you'll get genuine information and real life feedback from people who've been there rather than from doctors who have never had it and are just going by what they've read or what some patients have told them. And we don't share every detail of what it's really like to go through this with our doctors so they don't really know what it's like to live with it.

So welcome to the club.

Cur cumin or turmeric

 cur cumin or turmeric is an antitoxin And  Anti inflamatory,  so is cinnamon and real cocoa.it helps me digest my food .I'm taking a pill a day, plus 2000 mg vitamin D. So far I've been NED for 5 years. 

I don't say it is because of cur cumin , it just helps me not to run to bathroom after each meal.

This is your life

can't wait and afraid at same time,

This is how we live.  Waiting for the next scan and blood work. Then, waiting for the results. Wanting them and not wanting them. Psyching ourselves up in case they are bad, while planning a celebration.  

I'm also waiting. CT and blood last week, results 13th. 

Wishing you the very best. As in, the very best results and the very best four words 'No Evidence of Disease' NED.
