1. oregon health sciences has a ton of money right now

Feb 2016

for all sorts of cancer stuff going on in both research and treatment....a cancer doctor was on "city club" the other night on the radio explaining about it...so don't know where you are but I would look into whats available at OHS also you can get on line and compare research/clinic trials/treatments from other countries...(like france) that are required to publish science research online because their countries have socialized health care....you can find this research in english.....so just go on line country to country....you never know if someone is doing something different that might help, best of luck to you positive love and light....the less stress and blame you put on yourself the more you allow your body to heal...don't let the bureaucracy of it get to you and allow others to do things for you....really remove yourself from the negative stuff of busy everyday life and focus on the beauty and enjoying the moment....life is not for sissies....focus on having a good process as you can possibly have and be an optimist....look for cancer support groups locally or online...I'm sure there are both....so you don't feel alone... Cheers, Maggie....let us all know how it's going....feel free to complain...
