Hello

chrissyg
chrissyg

I'm new here, as of today. I have VHL which is a disease where I'll keep getting tumors and cancer. I've had 15 operations and they last one for pancreatic cancer put me in the hospital for three months. I have horrific memories and even tastes and sounds set me off. I'm thankful to find this group and hope to gain wisdom from you all, many thanks for accepting me.

Hello Chrissy. Welcome to DS. Sorry for what brings you here, but glad you are here.

I don't know how much wisdom you will find here, but you will find lots of support while you vent and sort the particulars of your case.

Welcome aboard. Listening. . .

Hi Chrissy. I wish you the best and welcome to this great place! I've heard good things about people with cancer who keep their carb intake very low (below 12 grams per day) and it seems to have a very positive effect on cancer growing.
Also, I've read that working on keeping estrogen in check can be extremely beneficial. I'm a guy and I take DIM supplement to regulate excess estrogen because I tend to have high testosterone even at my age (due to good muscle on my frame from years of weight lifting). I know DIM doesn't work well with everyone but it does seem to do great job of ridding the body of "bad estrogen" which might help your situation.
You may know this already. If not, please take it with a grain of salt but you might want to look into it just in case.
Best of wishes to you. You found a great place to get some support here.

Wow, you're really strong, Chrissy. I was a hospital chaplain for 10 years and saw what pancreatic cancer patients went through up close. Good for you for winning your battle with that. So glad you joined us.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
