    Thanks for all the encouragement
    I continue to try to keep on "living large". I remeber Linda P saying how important that was. We just returned from a 7 day cruise to the Western Caribbean. We went to Honduras, Belize, Costa Maya and Cozmel. We saw Maya Ruins in Belize and Costa Maya. They were very impressive. What a culture that must have been. We had great weather as it did not rain and it was cloudy, so it was not so extremely hot. The humidity was 100 per cent everyday, so it did not take any exertion to work up a sweat.

    We have returned to Florida and are glad to be back home. The sun is shining and the humidity is not so high.

    When I started my cucurmin, I also started Vit D3 daily. When I was reviewing the Anti Cancer book, I read that Vit D3 can slow the progression of cancer. So maybe the combination of the cucurmin, vit D and Aromasin are slowing my recurrence. I guess the end of January I will see if the progression is still slow.

    I continue to feel good. My hair growth is so much slower than all the other times. My last chemo was the end of May and my hair is still less than one inch long. My hair always grew so fast before. I would go for haircuts about every 4 weeks before I got cancer. I had natural curl before, but it is pretty straight now.

    You all remain in my thughts and prayers. In peace and caring.

    Slow hair growth
    Hi Ro -
    I think the slow hair growth is due to the Aromisin - that is if it acts anything like anasterozole. My onc told me that many of her patients on anasterozole comment on how seldom they need to get haircuts.

    Your cruise sounds wonderful. Continue to live large.

    Suzanne , thanks for the information
    I was wondering if the Aromasin had a nothing to do with the slow hair growth. I was going to ask the doctor on my next visit. At least I have enough to cover my head. It does not take long to wash and dry it.

    Hope you are doing well. In peace and caring.
