    Jilly, there is another member on here from Australia and she goes by the name, “santineep”. Not sure where she is but it would be nice if you contacted each other. Her husband is being treated I think in Sydney.

    Hi Jill….hello and welcome. Jill, seems that you have things well under control and I hope for your nausea to subside also.
    Jill, there are a few things I paid close attention to:
    Increased nausea,
    Fever,
    Increased pain.
    All symptoms warrant a phone call to the physician. If the physician was unavailable then I would take my husband to the local ER. Please, stay in touch. We care.
    All my best wishes,
    Marion

    Hi Tiff,
    No Chemo, surgeon said that it was only token chemo.
    I was so ill back in Sept 2011 that I wouldn’t have had it anyway ,didn’t want to make myself any sicker. I have said though that after 6 months of my Nat. Therapies I would consider it if they weren’t working.

    I take Avemar and two different Milk thistle tabs, a mineral supplement in water, a memory enhancer, vit B6, B12 , Isowhey meal replacement in low fat milk for breakfast, no grains, no pork, no processed meats, lots of fish, very little red meat, organic chicken, Turkey, every type of vegetable, but mainly green vegies, salad vegies, nuts & seeds. I grow my own herbs.
    So I feel I’m doing well. I do get a little board so try to invent new recipes.
    Christmas has been hard, with all the chocs, and sweets. For me this is working.
    I have just changed GP’s he has had other patients with this disease so he’s on the ball. Very approachable. While he’s not into nat. therapies he said if its working for me do it!!

    Cheers Jilly

    Thanks Lainy

    I have antibiotics to take if it gets worse but in 3-4 days should be doing ok again. I felt like this before I started my eating plan and I became well again then, so I should be ok. GP said that when the bile mixes with the food you eat it goes through a process and then gets re-absorbed back into the blood stream and goes through the liver process so the rubbish I have been eating should be the cause of these symptoms. When I eat the right foods I never have this problem.

    I have a positive attitude most of the time, sometimes I have meltdowns, but soon recover from them!!

    Cheers Jilly

    Jilly, we all have to do what we feel works for us and everyone is so different. Go for it but let your Doctor know. Please let your doctor also know about the nausea and pain.

    Hi all,

    I have CC diagnosed 7th Sept,2011. I have been doing natural therapies and eating a particular way for nearly 3 months and was doing well lots of energy, people say I look so much better now, than I did before doing the nat. therapies. All my liver stats were nearly all in the normal range.
    I decided to eat normally from 10th Dec. to see if I was doing the right thing. Well I am now feeling nauseated and slight pain and discomfort in my liver. I also had a blood tests done, my stats have dropped a little. So today I am back on the natural therapies and eating plan that was making me look & feel 110%.
    I probably should not have done this, BUT it shows me conclusively that what I am doing is the right thing for me.

    I am amazed at the help & support that Americans have for this Illness. There is nothing at all in Australia or other parts of the world. Unitl I found this site I knew not alot about my illness. Keep up the good work .

    Cheers Jilly
