Download or read book My Pink Diary written by L. A. Reilly and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-29 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people think breast cancer only affects women and men who have a family history. Stay healthy, eat right, don't smoke, get yearly mammograms. The radiologist tells you you're good until next year. You are all set. Wrong! Breast cancer can affect anyone, any age, any lifestyle. Hidden from view. Like an alien hiding in your chest. Cancer cells put up a barrier around themselves. A disguise, so your body doesn't know it's there. The only way to protect yourself is a good screening. For some of us, we have dense to extremely dense breast tissue which is like looking at a snow globe. Impossible to see anything. We need ultrasounds and MRIs. We need good facilities and good doctors. We need hope. My book, My Pink Diary: A Survival Guide. What Every Woman Should Know, is my personal journey with breast cancer from day one to the present. My words have helped so many women that I know. I wanted to write down all of my experiences and research to help all women. Not just the ones I know. If my words can save women and help them go through breast cancer or procedures with a sense of ease and familiarity, I will feel complete. Every time I hear someone I know or a friend of a friend has breast cancer, I just want to give them my book. Friends ask me all the time if my book is ready so they can give to someone they know who is going through breast cancer. My journey can help so many women on so many levels. Of course, I added in some humor. Because laughter, sometimes, can be one of the best remedies.So starts my journey. The diary describes everything in detail with pictures, charts and research. I walked into every appointment and test blind, frightened and ill informed. Googling everything was foolish and scary. I needed facts. What would I be going through? What can I expect from surgery, chemo and radiation? Every day was a journey. Here it is. Everything you need to know. Even my medication schedule that I had to follow that prevented me from being sick from my endless chemo sessions. I've included every detail of what to expect and many unexpected details I wish I had known prior. Think of my diary as a guide through anyone's journey. What does chemo feel like? Lumpectomy vs Mastectomy? What will happen before and after surgery or when I have biopsies? I wish I had been more prepared. So I wrote this diary to prepare the reader. I was diagnosed with Stage 2B breast cancer in 2015. I had been faithfully going for routine mammograms since I was 39. At age 46, it was the first time in 7 years I was told I had dense breasts. No wonder during my past mammograms the radiologists didn't see anything. They really couldn't see anything. The entire mammogram screen was white! I should have been sent for better testing at age 39. This time, they thought they saw something. "Maybe nothing", they said. After an ultrasound and MRI, they found a large suspicious lump along with 5 other lumps. 6 lumps in my chest, 3 in each breast that had been undetected with the traditional 2D mammogram. Who knows how long they have been in my breasts. Today I am cancer free but live year to year waiting for the results of my MRIs. My journey had to be shared.I have been a graphic designer for over 20 years. I graduated college with a degree in Journalism and a minor in English. I wrote and designed My Diary. Although there are thousands of books on breast cancer, to the best of my knowledge, mine would be the only book in diary form jam-packed with information every woman should know written in an easy to read and understand format without technical jargon. I wanted to write my book as if I was talking to a friend.

Download or read book The Plant Paradox written by Dr. Steven R. Gundry, MD and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2017-04-25 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From renowned cardiac surgeon Steven R. Gundry, MD, the New York Times bestselling The Plant Paradox is a revolutionary look at the hidden compounds in "healthy" foods like fruit, vegetables, and whole grains that are causing us to gain weight and develop chronic disease. Most of us have heard of gluten—a protein found in wheat that causes widespread inflammation in the body. Americans spend billions of dollars on gluten-free diets in an effort to protect their health. But what if we’ve been missing the root of the problem? In The Plant Paradox, renowned cardiologist Dr. Steven Gundry reveals that gluten is just one variety of a common, and highly toxic, plant-based protein called lectin. Lectins are found not only in grains like wheat but also in the “gluten-free” foods most of us commonly regard as healthy, including many fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, and conventional dairy products. These proteins, which are found in the seeds, grains, skins, rinds, and leaves of plants, are designed by nature to protect them from predators (including humans). Once ingested, they incite a kind of chemical warfare in our bodies, causing inflammatory reactions that can lead to weight gain and serious health conditions. At his waitlist-only clinics in California, Dr. Gundry has successfully treated tens of thousands of patients suffering from autoimmune disorders, diabetes, leaky gut syndrome, heart disease, and neurodegenerative diseases with a protocol that detoxes the cells, repairs the gut, and nourishes the body. Now, in The Plant Paradox, he shares this clinically proven program with readers around the world. The simple (and daunting) fact is, lectins are everywhere. Thankfully, Dr. Gundry offers simple hacks we easily can employ to avoid them, including: Peel your veggies. Most of the lectins are contained in the skin and seeds of plants; simply peeling and de-seeding vegetables (like tomatoes and peppers) reduces their lectin content. Shop for fruit in season. Fruit contain fewer lectins when ripe, so eating apples, berries, and other lectin-containing fruits at the peak of ripeness helps minimize your lectin consumption. Swap your brown rice for white. Whole grains and seeds with hard outer coatings are designed by nature to cause digestive distress—and are full of lectins. With a full list of lectin-containing foods and simple substitutes for each, a step-by-step detox and eating plan, and delicious lectin-free recipes, The Plant Paradox illuminates the hidden dangers lurking in your salad bowl—and shows you how to eat whole foods in a whole new way.

Through her own experiences as a two-time cancer survivor, and previous teen cancer patient who faced a forty percent chance of survival, Clarissa Schilstra has learned a great deal about all of these challenges and how to cope with them. In the pages of this book, she shares those stories and strategies, in an effort to provide a guide through the emotional roller coaster that is cancer treatment and life as a cancer survivor.

Download or read book Cancer Kickin Warrior written by Inez Whitehead-Dickens and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-09-24 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer in 2001, I was frozen in time. At that time, the only thing I knew about any cancer, is that if you have it, you die. I agonized over things like, am I going to dwindle away and die a painful death? How do I tell my kids? Do I have enough time to get things in order? Who will take care of my husband? My mind went on and on. I looked for someone to talk to who had been diagnosed with my stage of cancer. When I couldn’t find any, I thought the worst. I was told that once people go through their ordeal with cancer, they don’t want to talk about it. I got on my knees and promised God that if he got me through this, I would become that voice. Well he kept his end of the bargain, and I’m keeping mine. But the stories in this book are not just about me; they are about people who have fought and won their battles with every type and stage of cancer. In talking to them, I learned so much. The trauma one goes through from the beginning of the diagnosis to the end of the treatments makes it understandable that people want to forget it once it’s over. But the people in this book wanted to share their stories to let anyone going through this to know it is not a death sentence, and more important—there is life after cancer! Belief in God, positive thinking, and a strong support system will see you through any trial. The stories in this book are also about the people who stand with us and fight for us in the battle against cancer. Without them, we wouldn’t survive. So when you read these stories, look at not only the type of cancer they survived, but also the faith, love, and support they had. In some cases you will see how cancer changed their life for the better. So look at their lives post-cancer. Look at their strong, loving support system. When you feel depressed or feel like giving up, pick up this book and read one of the many inspirational stories. You’ll learn not to be afraid of cancer; only be afraid if you don’t do something about it. Then I guarantee, you too can become not just a survivor, but a Cancer Kickin’ Warrior!
