Because You Can

December 23rd, 2008

Yes Really - I was stirred (not shaken) by a certain speech recently and the guy is not even in my country (Australia).

So why should people be so negative. It's going to get better.

There was a lady on Twitter this morning and she was miserable. Okay - I get that - we all get the Blues now and then. But guess what folks, there's only one person who can get you out of that - and that's - SANTA!

I'm just being facetious :-)

Don't sit around and mope. Become a Kid again. No matter how old you really are, you can still remember your childhood Christmas vacation times, can't you?

I have as a bio on this blog that says "I am old enough to know better - yet young enough not to be dead."

That's a good piece of advice given to me by my very young-at-heart Grandmother who was over 90 when she said it.

Go Gran...

So what's wrong with the rest of the world?

We are all down in the dumps - the economy is telling - and the politicians haven't got a clue (well most of them anyway).

As an avid watcher of the American Dream - I can only see it getting better. Yes they may be some rough times ahead, but that only makes us stronger.

If you can't afford diamonds and Pearls - buy plastic beads! If you can't afford plastic beads - go find some pebbles on a beach or put a flower in your hair (now I'm showing my age).

To old to know better? Maybe - but I ain't going to stop living just to be miserable.

Now go do the same, and have a nice Christmas.

How I Used The Fresh Papaya (PawPaw):

The fruit was to be consumed ‘As is’ because we always have a small plate of fruit everyday around 5 pm.

I planned on adding a teaspoon of seeds into my Yogurt at lunchtime.

The ‘Coleslaw’ I would add to any Salad (even in a sandwich) as it’s summertime in Oz and we are eating a lot of Salads. Don’t know what I am going to do in the Winter though? If you have any ideas please add them as a comment so everyone can benefit.

I had also planned on five serves per day because I thought it would be better to ‘Drip Feed’ it into me, as my wife thinks I am a ‘Drip’ sometimes anyway – so that should fit.

Monday 6th Feb 2012: My Prostate Cancer Diary.

So here is the problem. I have dismissed Surgery completly and that leads me to Radio Therapy as the only available conventional medical alternative.

My Oncologist want me to have Hormone Treatment to:

  • a: Slow the Growth of the Cancer cells by (basically) chemically castrating me. Ouch!
  • b: Shrink the Prostate down to a smaller target for his magic Death Ray.

I didn’t want to do that with Hormone treatment, but can appreciate why he wants to do that.

So I’m looking into all types of Natural and Alternative medications.

The best I have come up with is PawPaw (Papaya) as there have been quite a few studies with very promising reasults, PLUS it has been… Continue reading Prostate Cancer Diary - My Natural Alternative

Prostate Treatments and Me.

Long time coming since my last post – but I have been kinda busy…. Tests – tests and more tests :-(

So this is the latest:

My Urologist sent me to the Radio Oncologist because I decided I do NOT want surgery. Apparently I can’t have Brachyatherapy (my original choice) because my Gleason Score is 8 – too high, so External Beam Therapy is the only option, even though they only found cancer cells in ONE of the TEN Biopsies they took.

HOWEVER: (I am discovering LOTS of ‘Howevers’), the Oncologist wants me to have Hormone Treatment first to bring my enlarged prostate down in size.

An ‘Average’ prostate is about 40mm – about the size of a small Plum -… Continue reading My Personal Prostate Cancer Treatment Options
