Connie, I am sorry to hear you are struggling with this cancer. I really like your website and your photos are grand. I have found myself often remembering your home. I appreciated your ability to build a home that fit your needs and desires. We have unique dreams for our property and I feel encouraged by the memory of yours. Thanks.
I am going to send you some info. I hope you will be able to accept its offering as a piece of information to add to what you are already gathering. Please allow it to present to you as an addition to what need to do to fight the war against the cancer cells invading your body. Dr. Arthur Furst ( he is responsible for oral chemo) was involved with GNLD for years and did a talk on cancer that I think you might find interesting. What he says I have found to be so true. My father-in-law shared GNLD with us the month I was first diagnosed with my cancer. I truly believe that God answered our prayers thru GNLD products, radiation, chemo. and a change in my attitude.
May the Lord continue to bless you. May His healing hand be upon you. Shalom.

For my Aunt Connie: It is such a pleasure to read your commentary. The neat thing is that as I read, I hear your voice and see your facial expressions. What a wonderful command of the English language. Thank You.

Good news, Connie, about your blood readings! I am SO glad to hear that! I will continue to keep you in my prayers and send positive, healing thoughts your way. I’ve enjoyed your writings before, but I will enjoy them a thousandfold more, now that I have experienced Sanctuary myself. What a special place it is! It almost seems to have a soul, doesn’t it? Quite amazing. I am sure it feels good to get home to Sanctuary from your travels. I am convinced that being in a natural environment such as that and eating healthy food works wonders on the body and soul. My few days with you have had such a positive impact on my life. I find that I am dealing with work stresses better this week, and I just feel happier all around. I am busy thinking of ways to make my property a little more Sanctuary-like, and I am SO excited!! To top it all off, today I saw my first hummingbird in my yard! I had gone out to scatter some fresh seed on the ground, and as I turned toward the house, there she (I think) was, hovering over my patio, near my red petunias and hummingbird feeder. We stared in amazement at each other, and then off she sped. I told my co-workers this morning that no matter how stressful it might get at work today, we are to remember that it is a “Hummingbird Day”! It is just marvelous to connect with God’s creation.

Thank you for helping me make my life better!

Love,
Mindy

Connie,
I wonder as I read your updates if you have discussed bone marrow transplant with your doctors. My husband does not have a match, but we are going to the Univ. of MN – Fairview for a double cord blood transplant in late July. He was diagnosed the end of January and given a prognosis of 9-18 mos. He has only tried Revlimid with some success. He has RAEB 1 with an IPSS of 2 or greater. He has significant chromosome damage. He is 59 years old and on disability leave as a school superintendent. I would be interested to hear whether you have considered the transplant.
Good Luck!
