I'm going to go off the normal political rant today and touch on something more personal. Besides the politicians are busy getting ready for tonight's Big Government Shutdown.
How many of you, my devoted audience have heard of Esophageal Cancer ?
I was not introduced to this form of cancer until October, 2008.
I had just gone through a series of operations, the last of which I made it through by the skin of my teeth. A really serious bout of pneumonia, that bad that I lost a rib in the process.
As I was on the mend for my own problems, I received, a phone call from my daughter. I found out her mother, my former wife ( ex -wife didn't fit) and best friend, (it's complicated,) was diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer. I never heard of that, what was it? was it curable ? My mind was racing. As time went on I realized that my best friend, the mother of my daughter, my former wife, was not going to win this battle.
That was gut wrenching. She passed away 2.18.10.
Death usually comes easy to me, there are exceptions. Young people ( birth to 30), people close to my age, or people under 60. these people did not get to realize the full meaning of life.
The purpose of this article, is to bring to light, Hope f you you know anyone with this disease, their might be hope, according to new research presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research in Orlando, Fla.
Studies found that eating frozen strawberries can reduce the risk of this cancer. Using freeze-dried strawberries was important because by removing the water from the berries, they concentrated the preventive substances by nearly tenfold.
Esophageal Cancer is the third most common gastrointestinal cancer, and the sixth most frequent cause of cancer death in the world.
God rest in peace, Kathy, We miss you !
Yours in Liberty !
