i must have missed something Big going on with you ... i would have sent you good thoughts. and will, beginning now! it sounds like you are doing well and are letting yourself be open to all kinds of good energy, not just medical treatment, which can be so harsh. i've been watching this with my sister for the last six months, since she was diagnosed with a brain tumor (primary CNS lymphoma) last fall. i've tried to encourage (but not push) alternative therapies, but she chose to focus on the medical treatment only. luckily she did quite well - chemo only - and is in remission, but she is now very sick and vulnerable. i feel like anything could attack her again and she would not be able to fight it off.

keep strong!! xoxox

i guess i should have used the term "complementary" therapies, like you do, and not "alternative" - because the medical protocol they used had proven successful, so it was a good thing for her. i just wish she were stronger at this point.
