Hey thanks everyone! only just realized there were replies as I didn't tick the 'notify me' box duh!! Dave-I think with 'dual citizenship' I can choose to back the winning team in all sports lol :) Two questions:how do you guys do emoticons? and why have some people got messages written under the profile pic?

Hi everyone, just wanted to share a proud moment with you, last wednesday I became an Australian citizen, after eight years here (from the UK). The ceremony was at a beautiful heritage homestead and gardens in Mont de Lancy.I got quite emotional...in a happy way:)

Hi Zen, I haven't heard of a quest for life...I'll check it out on the net, does it have similar philosophies to the Gawler foundation I wonder? I'll see if I can get the recipe book from the library...you can never have too many recipes:) Thanks for the welcome and you too Di. BWAH (be well and happy) Hev

Hi just reposting this in introductions...I put it in the wrong place before...just finding my way round:) Hi everyone, just joined up to this forum and thought I'd introduce myself. I am 47 years old, and was diagnosed 'out of the blue' in August 2010 with Ovarian cancer. Had a radical hysterectomy in september and told my cancer was a stage three. I embarked on a raw vegan diet, gave up alcohol (tricky!) caffeine (equally tricky!)gave up work(easy!)and increased my excersise (much to the delight of my two kelpies)and started meditating. I went to the gawler foundation in the Yarra Valley for ten days in Oct, and can honestly say it was the most deep, profound life-changing experience of my life thus far. So now I have a different outlook on life and living, an appreciation and realisation of its precious and fragile nature. I believe I have not only been given a wake-up call but a second chance...which I am grabbing with both hands! I just re-read this post and think thats probably enough soul-baring for now:) Hev.

Hi, I have Ovarian cancer and just got a high reading for my CA125, it's 205 and should be below 35, I'm really shocked by this result as I feel really healthy, eating and sleeping well, excersising every day and no stress in my life.... so I'm thinking there HAS to be other reasons for elevated readings (apart from tumours giving off a protein)...doesn't there?? does any one else have CA125 tests? and have high readings but no tumours? I have booked a thermo-imaging appointment next wednesday to make sure there are no tumours since the last MRI(in December) showed none. So disapointing.... I feel like swearing but that's probably not allowed on here?!:)

Hi Julie, hmm well I just went cold turkey really with the caffeine/alcohol, must admit I had withdrawal symptoms for a few days, headache, tired, moody...but it passed and I started to feel better than I had before. Now I have dandelion root 'coffee' with soy milk, green tea and my glass of 'red wine' is pomegranite juice in a wine glass!My motivation was to allow my immune system to focus only on dealing with the cancer in my body and not have to deal with any other toxins, I think if you can find 'substitutes' that you enjoy eating or drinking then it makes it easier to give up. Which book did you read? perhaps'you can conquer cancer?'...very inspiring. I just read his biography 'the Dragons blessing' (I think that was what it was called anyway) very interesting. I'm in the middle of a book called 'the essence of health' written by a Dr Craig Hassad that lectures medical students at Monash on mind/body/medicine, he came to give a talk when I was at the Gawler Foundation...what he says makes sense. And yes...you're right attending Gawler's was fantastic, a real turning point for me in terms of deling with my cancer.
