I think Nancy has family in Kanas. Didn't she/you go there during the summer to visit? I connect Kansas with Nancy too, but I know she is from Colorado.

Nancy, I actually checked your profile to see if you had moved!

Things aren't as up-to-date in KC as they used to be, but we're trying! It's been busy here, but I'm finally making some progress today. I'm working, working, working.....

Sounds great Wendy, thanks!


You're right Terrie, this thread just took on a life of it's own and truly goes with the name! Love it! And how much fun. So glad it'll be still one more year before it might come to an end. Would be so interesting to go back and read it again, I bet there will be things we might've forgot about.

Limbania I love the picture, so cute. It's really interesting to hear about what you are taking/being given alternatively. I am sure nothing like that goes on here. Keep telling us about it, it's really interesting.

Terrie, I guess the Chinese Whispers thread was always going to be a little batty seeing as we can't talk about the quilts themselves. Speaking of which I wonder how Nancy is getting on. Is ev'rythin' up do date in Kansas City Nancy.... have you gone about as fur as you c'n go?

It's amazing what 'Chinese Whispers' has come to involve. I think it's a new comment on anything wild, varied, witty, informative, supportive, encouraging, sometimes unexplainable and usually involves chickens...."It's Chinese Whispers to me" ..... This will now replace the old phrase "it's Greek to me" but I can't even remember why we have the Chinese involved in the first place!! Is this getting out of hand?

I'll train them for when I get your mug rug Limbania

Interesting to hear about the treatments and how they work. Thanks for explaining.

Limbania, Might as well fight this thing from all sides. Good for you for checking out all perspectives. As for the chicken you found on fb, I have a feeling it's not a girl. Looks like a rooster to me. If you ask me, if he's going to wake the world at the crack of dawn with all his crowing he might better well have the coffee on too. Great picture!

What a precious picture.
I'm glad to hear your are taking all those supplements. They will help you go through this.

In my case i'm combining mainstream or traditional medicine with natural medicine (herbs, homeopathic, supplements, etc). At the Naturophatic Oncology Clinic I get treatments to help decrease the side effects and sequels from chemotherapy and other drugs used to treat the cancer. As I type this I'm getting some supplements intravenously (in this case through the port I had put on my chest to get the chemotherapy, blood work, etc.). One of the more used natural therapies for cancer is megadoses of vitamin C (50 gms and up), while in the bloodstream it turns into hydrogen peroxide like substance and oxygenates the blood and also kills pathogens. In my case due to a particular condition of the cancer it wouldn't work and actually would make it worst but, I still get 10 gms of vitamin C in a saline solution. I also get alpha Lipoic acid, which feeds and protects the cells. The other one I get is curcumin, a very potent anti inflammatory, since the cancer I have is due to very acute inflammatory oxidative stress process.i get this treatments twice a week. I also take a bunch of herbal supplements that along with the IVs work at a cellular level to protect the major organs of the body (heart, liver, kidneys, etc) from the chemotherapy.

I sew this this morning on fb and thought of you Wendy. Do your girls do this for you? I'm not a coffe drinker but tea would be nice.

What a lovely gift to lift your spirits after the day you had. What are naturophotic treatments?
