End of toxic treatments
With the end of the radiation, it's also the end of toxic kill-the-cancer treatments. There's still two big medical things to do but they're preventative (ovaries) and cosmetic (reconstruction). Under normal circumstances both would be tough things to work through but in perspective at least there's nothing poisinous being injected into you.
Several people have asked about the lumpy lymphnodes (sounds like a band's name) that she had at her collar bone before the radiation started. She'll see her main cancer doctor next week and see what she says but one of the doctors along the way said the radiation would still be shrinking things for two to three weeks after the treatments ended. Still it sure would be nice to hear her say she can't find them.
With the end of modern medicine's array of treatments Carolin's free to try the Chinese medicine she has got. Between the pills and the tea there's lots of things to do. The good news is you can do it at home and it doesn't involve any accupuncture needles. The bad news is the list of ingredients looks like an inventory of the neighbour's compost heap. But why not give it a try?

Hi - If your alternative medicines hit the range of herbal choices that aren't just Chinese - make sure that you get what you can from the German companies. They are lightyears ahead of us, and have many quality controls in place that we don't have here. In other words - you are more likely to get what you are ordering and in the right amounts since they do a much better job of regulating those products. The docs I talk to here are really waking up to these kind of treatments - I'm really glad that you are going to "go for it"!!
Love ya - Pam
P.S. You are still making me feel soooooo lazy :)
