I actually found some and tried it this weekend. I looked up some recipes and tossed the quinoa with some olive oil and the juice and zest of an organic lemon. It was great! In fact even a few other family members who are a little leary of trying new stuff liked it! I do believe this will become one of my new fave things to use for meals.

Becky,

I am on Avastin and Folfox, which is made up of 3 different drugs: 5-FU, Oxaliplatin, and Levcovorin. The spots on my liver were very small to begin with.

I must admit this blog is becoming somewhat of an obsession! I check it at least once daily. There is so much support and LIFE here!

Thanks to all.

It is obvious through these numerous posts that there are many in your wake ready and willing to espouse such virtues!<br/><br/>If/when you are ready to ignite the catalytic coals, I would like to introduce you to professional and personal contacts I have in the Wash.DC Metro Area - the presidents of two major teaching hospitals, the director of nutrition and food services of another, the director of marketing at another, the director of communications at another, and a variety of division/research directors. Additionally, if you are interested in increasing your print/television press coverage in this market, let me know. No doubt there are others following this blog who have a variety of connections as well, through their own experiences - both professionally and personally - while dealing with cancer.

Her immune system is too low to operate so she is getting a series of shots. She is only 27. <br/><br/>Anyone out there with stomach cancer? I just talked to my daughter and she said the doctor told her not to eat salads because they were too hard for her to digest. I was wondering if the juices without the fiber would be easier.<br/><br/>Also, on the juicers, I bought a Hamilton Beach Big Mouth juicer at Wal-Mart for $50 and made our very own green juice. It did a very good job on everything except the spinach. My husbands comment "This could be addicting".<br/><br/>I want to thank all of you. I feel so relieved to have someone to talk to. My daughter didn't want to talk about it. Now I'm getting her to open up more. Is that common? It will go away if I don't talk about it?<br/><br/>XOXOXO TO ALL My daughter was diagnosed with cervical cancer 3 years ago, it went into remission, then came back last year and spread to her stomach.

I'm sure it gets to feel like a full time job sometimes. I wonder if you're planning to do an FAQ section. I just noticed one on Rosie O'Donnell's blog and thought of you right away. (Go to rosie.com if ya wanna see what I'm referring to.) There's a place right on the homepage that you can click on for "the top q&a; answers to the most popular questions people ask on the blog." Maybe when your schedule allows, you could create a similar section so people can read before they ask. Better yet, have someone create it for you. Might save you some time and the nuisance of being asked the same questions over and over. I hope you feel how grateful we all are for the time you put into this blog. I hope it doesn't ever become a pain in your (already busy) behind. Kris,

I looked up hospital + organic food and found out that some hospitals are starting to go organic.
