OK, I am back!! It is incredible what Cancer Centers offer to their patients. An area that I knew very little about until I was thrown into the "fire". but they actually make having this "disease" more tolerable given the outside support system they offer. Even when I went up to Yale New Haven Cancer Center, it was a hospital that felt more like a meditation and relaxation Center!! So here is what I get (my perks for being a Cancer patient), I get access to a Nutritionist, Psychologist (ok not unusual) but three treatments each of: Reflexology, Massage, Reiki (if you haven't had it - try it), Tai Chi, Spinal alignment. Then after I am finished with active treatments, I get all of these again, plus a personal trainer for a year and access to their workout facility forever (pool, gym, classes, etc). They really make getting back in shape and keeping yourself that way a priority, with all the support you could want. So with the bad, comes the good! I am hoping that in the next six months I am a rejuvenated person!! Wish me luck!!

What a great approach -- treat the whole person and not just the disease. I like that it puts you in control, at least to the extent that you take advantage. Was just working on the incredible healing compounds that have come from trees (including Paclitaxel from the Pacific yew) and thinking how amazing our world is.
