In praise of a mother

There are a number of people that are mothers that have some impact on my life. I am thankful for all of them.

I dedicate this blog to one of them.

The research manager clearly is the most influential by far. Since the discovery of my tumor less than 2 months ago, she has spent literally hundreds of hours researching all aspects of my treatment.

Because of her, I have added all of the following to my diet:

Chaga Mushroom Tea - thanks to a lead from a friend
Significant dosages of vitamin D
Vitamin C
Turmeric
Tomatoes at breakfast
Kefir
Probiotics
Significantly more salads
Significantly more fruit
Avocado
Brazil Nuts
Pumpkin Seeds

In addition, she was prepared with things like soft tooth brushes, sea saltwater rinse and disposable undergarments before I knew I needed them. She identified Infrared Sauna as worth investigating.

I am sure that there are other things as well.

And today, as a result of an email she received early this morning, we will be adding curcumin and pursuing Integrative Medicine and coordinating with Dr. Lavalley from Nova Scotia who has the largest database of supplements and drugs that can help various types of cancer.

All this while she has been managing three significant Guardian ad Litem cases.

I was asked early this morning, what was the only source of power that will never run out.

Apparently, the correct answer was brain power, but I said "will power."

The saying goes "Where there is a will, there's a way."

My Dad says "Where there is a Gill, there's a way."

Today, we can say "Where there is a research manager, there are many ways."

Thanks, Love.
