Way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for all the great information! You're the best! Kathy

I don't know how overweight you are but being Stage 3/4, I would not let it keep you from treating.  There are other people here treating with risk factors that are different than yours .. or the same as yours.  That does not mean you won't be successful.  It means you need to be aware of how to tailor your treatment to improve your chances.   There's no...

Allthough very long post it wasn´t too long at all ( this time ) very good post thx a lot for making an effort!! God bless !! ca

(blue print machine). and by the way I did pick up on the word you used "fuser". this is a very...

Your momma is a Xerox machine. The problem with comparing anything to treatment is that treatment is not all reality.  I'm not even sure that pre and post treatment is comparable.  After treatment, I put on the weigth that I lost, and then some.  I committed that I was not going to act like the post treatment gorging (which I thought I deserved) could continue.  We...
