The first, and most important part, is your mother's breast cancer. The fear, unknown reasons why it happened, how it will turn out, have you inherited an oncogene, and everything else cause terrible stress for you. This is one of the most profound things to happen to you.<br /><br />My sister's breast cancer was discovered when she was 34, and it was Stage I. My MIL's was quite large--much larger than my sis's (Stage III)--when<br />it was discovered. I could see from across the kitchen table that her breast was pulled to the side. My aunt's was found when she was 36 years old. None of them died of breast cancer. My sis and aunt are still alive. MIL did die of cancer, but lymphoma, not breast cancer, over 20 years later. I hope these anecdotal tales will be of some comfort to you. <br /><br />They all had mainstream treatment, however, which your mother seems to refuse. You can't effectively make her use allopathic medicine, but I deeply hope she changes her mind.Food Freakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15600351103136707132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517537111134440492.post-82621340575911053042011-05-15T01:25:02.053-07:002011-05-15T01:25:02.053-07:00I have a real problem drinking enough water!

But that said, usually when one has that bent (and talent like he does!), they usually at some point go back to it. I hope Patrick does because that wintery wonderland is phenomenal! <br /><br />Glad to know that you are on track and still doing well with the water. Have you noticed the positive effects on your skin yet? I really need to go back to water and get off the diet Coke again.
