I tried to get lemon grass at the health store today and they did not know what I was talking about. They said... lemon grass tea..

Someone on this board posted that it was good for or prevented cancer and I am all for that.

That China Study Book I heard about last summer .. A really know it all woman told me about it and I discharged it as
her personality was abrasive. Maybe I misjudged...

I will get it.

not sure what reconstruction venue they are looking at, but it wouldn't be fat from tummy, for she has a concave stomach [the hussy]

as it is, she will have time to research it

here is the medical plan they've drawn up for her and the road she is taking:

chemotherapy for six months

evaluations during the six months to see if in fact the tumor is shrinking

if it does, then a lumpectomy

followed by three months of radiation treatments

what they are doing with the chemotherapy is administering 3 drugs - the combination of all three is very hard on the system - so they are breaking it up - 2 of the drugs for three months, then the final [and hardest on the system] drug for another 3 months

oddly [and ironically] enough she is a health food maniac, eating almost only organic foods - her diet will be very restricted during chemo, a long list of 'no' foods - no fresh produce or fruit unless it can be peeled

she feels reassured this doctor is very thorough

thank you for the book recommend, I've ordered it for her

too, absolutely no herbal stuff, everything goes through the liver and the liver, heart and kidneys are under stress during chemo
