Why....Why.....Why.....People don't understand. They say "pick yourself up and get back to work" work will solve everything. I have been so positive, affirmations, meditation, yoga and then all of a sudden..the rug goes out from under me......If it was just cancer I could deal with it....but renal failure on top of it......well I'm giving the bird to the universe.......I thought I was doing well 5 mths on.....thinking geez I have really got a grip on this and quite proud of myself........when does it stop? NEVER......

Hi: Im Maurice, Im 41 and I was diagnosed with carcinoid syndrome last week. Wife and two kids , 6 months and 2 1/2 years.I would like to know tips to keep myself healthy even with this disease. At the moment Im practising meditation, Im doing visualizations and affirmations as well as initiating a treatment to eliminate tumors of my body. Im looking for special diet and excersing more and people who have this disease to talk about it. regards Maurice

See the original post and images at: http://benbbrave.blogspot.com/2011/08/google-body.html I studied some human anatomy and a bunch of non-human animal anatomy as part of my science degree. But that didn't help me when the surgeon first mentioned removing my seminal vesicle: I pretended I knew exactly where it was and then raced home and checked a textbook.

Have been doing really well with meditation, acupuncture, yoga and positive affirmations. My cancer was contained however with removal of right kidney this has left me with CKD stage 3/4. My cancer took my healthy kidney and left me with a damaged kidney due to childhood reflux. My eGFR is 33%. I have been dealing with my cancer diagnosis however yesterday at GP he used the words "Renal Failure". I am doing my best to say "Renal Failure" is your word Dr, not mine. I will not need dialysis until i hit a eGFR of 10%. Transplant is not an option due to cancer relapse.

I am looking forward to the summary of this discussion.

I still have not seen that anyone on this site has the same cancer as me.If there is someone there I'd love to hear .Using international sites I have come across 5 other Australians with it,one living out of the country.Still I appreciate the contact with all of you.
