]]> Comment on curb breast cancer with zoledronic acid by Dr. Kathleen Ruddy http://cancervisa.wordpress.com/2008/05/28/curb-breast-cancer-with-zoledronic-acid/#comment-176 Dr. Kathleen Ruddy Mon, 22 Dec 2008 19:25:01 +0000 http://cancervisa.wordpress.com/?p=378#comment-176 I am interested in the possible viral cause of breast cancer. I am working with researchers who are working on the mouse mammary tumor virus, the Pink Virus. If we can prove that a virus causes breast cancer in women, it will change our therapies! And, we might be able to PREVENT the disease, with a vaccine or anti-virals. I am interested in the possible viral cause of breast cancer.

Color has nothing to do with hop content -- it's based on the type and roast of barley used in the beer. Wonderful article, though the last sentence is a bit off.

Then, I stumbled across this posting and it shook me. I do not have cancer. I have a home. I have a wife and children. I do not have a job but my wife does. I struggle to maintain a sense of dignity and to avoid being angry about not being able to get a job and about how unfair loosing my job was but, I have my health and my family and a home. I feel my eyes watering and I am enbarrassed by my selfishness and shallowness that has led me to take what I have for granted even though times may seem tough right now. I am blessed. I just heard God because of you. Thank you. Give and ye shall receive. I seek but have not given. I want but have not shared. I am humbled. Thank you. God bless you. Thank You.

You are dealing with a lot right now and everyone--chemo or not---is bound to forget a thing or two. It is a very human condition. I do empathize with you though. Thank you for sharing your experience on your blog. I wanted to share something with you that I have just learned about. Unfortunately this is a beta test, but with any luck this new and amazing free service will be up and running full time in the near future. As you are well aware, getting a cancer diagnoses, can turn your world upside down. Trying to decide what to do next at each step of the process, and where to go for help can be really challenging, if not down right intimidating.

These Trained Patient Navigators guide patients, families and caregivers through their cancer experience by providing answers and resources on their computer screens using live chat, linking those coping with a cancer diagnosis to needed programs and services. To chat in real time with an Online Patient Navigator between 5:30 am and 5:30 pm PST, log on to http://acs-gwd.zodeca.com/chatform2.aspx The service is free. The beta test will end on October 3, 2008. But like I mentioned, it is hoped this service will continue indefinitely. I would love to know what you think and if the service is helpful. Greetings,
