I cant wait til sunday!! Soooo excited!! lol 

Rachan - I have PM you my mobile number in case of change in venue - hope you got it as its the first time I've sent a PM!!

See you all there!!!
(((HUGS)))
Mwah... Natasha!!!

Hello hello hello!!!

Well I think its about time I posted on here again! (its nearly been a month!!)
I've been putting off posting as I dont really have any good news yet, just same old - "cancer is still coming out" and I HATE feeling like I'm whinging and that I'm boring everyone!

ANYWAY...

Well I've just taken 2 months off work starting this week as I still have cancer in my leg and I really REALLY need to be taking care of myself.

The frusterating thing about my cancer is that the main part of it came out within a month (i think it was) but the cancer that is being killed off since, is REALLY dense and quite aggressive.
When we went on holiday for 2 wks I didnt put any Cansema salve on it for a few days - and within that short time, you could see that it had grown! Kinda scary... and needless to say I've been VERY diligent about treating it with the salve since!!

It is really deep now - about 2cms - and VERY painful (and i thought it was painful before...!!!) so I havent been getting much sleep at all. So hopefully it'll be all gone in a couple of months (....hopeing.....praying....) Its been 3 months already.

Anyway, my family are just wonderful!! My sisters have been making me juices and Dad actually has helped me make a couple of green smoothies!!!! Speaking of smoothies.... I cant wait to try the Miss Scarlet smoothie by missgiggles!!! Sounds devine!!! *slurp*   

Am going to do a liver cleanse tomorrow so shall see how that turns out.

On a much happier note..... we had a wonderful 2 weeks holiday! Very very relaxing but very busy too! Loved the warmth... actually felt really alive for once!! Might post a couple of photos tomorrow.

Anyway just looked at the time (11:45pm!) so I better be off to bed and try to get some sleep.

Love and Hugs to you all

Natasha

Hello precious people and darling May!!! My internet is behaving for once!!! YAY!!!!! (touch wood!! )

Yes May, I did mean my leg - sorry - its amazing that ANYTHING made sense in that post!! And thank you soooooo much for all your love, thoughts, hugs etc!! You're a darling!

Well, I just dealt with my leg again. And am in heaps of pain AGAIN ... poor ol' leg...!!
I usually keep the Cansema salve on for 2 nights so that it can really really get into the cancer. Every time I deal with it I think that it'll be the last time but everytime I clean the dead cancer out I can see cancer underneath still. Really gross! I think that the membrane that enclosed the tumour is actually cancerous too as it is slowly dying and coming away as well.
Most of the flesh inside the hole where the tumour was has NO feeling whatsoever. Its really wierd. But before I started treating the tumour (before I knew what it was) I noticed that the skin that was over it had no feeling - so what I gather is that if the skin has no feeling it is cancerous. It can still PAIN like crazy when I put the salve on it tho!

My darling mother spent most of her time today on the internet researching other ways to get rid of cancer naturally. So when I got home from work she was full of info to tell me.

Anyway I really should go as I'm just babbling on and I'm sure I'm making NO sense at all!

Love and hugs to everyone

Natasha xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Hello Meg, Jen, May and Stevetabe!!

Thank you all for your advice, tips, and help!!

My liver cleanse went well! I think I'm feeling better.
I am in a lot of pain today and am very emotional. It isnt fun. Hopefully the cancer is nearly all gone. I just wish it was all over.... 

Anyway I better go now.

Be on tomorrow hopefully

Thanks for everything everyone... It sure helps and makes this journey easier!!

Lotsa Love to all, Natasha xoxoxoxo

Hello Hello Hello!!!!!!

How are all my raw buddies???

I know I said I'd post more often but my internet seriously doesnt work 70% of the time. Grrrr. Very frustrating!!!

Anyway dont have much news really...

The cancer is still dying and coming away. I'm hopeing that it'll be all gone and be healing up when we go on holiday (2 and a bit weeks to go!! yay!!) so that I dont have to be dealing with it still.

I am going to do a liver cleanse today. My mom just did one on monday and is feeling really good now. It'll help my body with detoxing and I think I'll feel loads better after!!

What I have noticed lately is that if I eat too many nuts (more than a handful a day) I feel yuck. So am thinking that maybe I need to do the 8/1/1 diet ?? I havent read much about it yet but if anyone has any tips/advice would be great!!

Anyway better go before the internet throws a tantrum and doesnt let me post!!

Thinking of you all even tho I cant get on here often!!!

Love and Hugs to everyone!!

Natasha xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Oh WOW!!!! Where to start.....?!?!?!?!?!!!!

Thank you so much Jen, May and Nudgy for your support, encouragement, kindness, etc etc!!!! Love and happiness to you all!!!


Jen - yes I love berries!!!! Mmmm...... especially when they are fresh!! I have a fruit salad for lunch when I am at work! Delish.....!!!!

Oh btw, I am slowly reading through your journal (up to page 20 I think!!) and am just so amazed and encouraged by it!! You truely are a beautiful and strong woman! *hugs*

About your question - I dont think I'll miss the tumour when its gone. Before I knew what it was it never really bothered me, but when I put the Cansema salve on it and the 'lump' revealed itself for what it truely was, there was (and still is) this intense feeling of 'AAAHHHHRRRGGGG....GET IT OFF ME!!!!!'. So no I dont think I'm attached to it!!!! lol


May - I cant wait to go to a raw picnic in perth and meet all the west aussie rawbies!!!! Maybe I'll be able to get to the august one!! (fingers 'n' toes crossed!!!)

You seem like a pretty positive person yourself!! Not to mention very funny too!!! Hehe, just love reading your journal!! *hugs* back to you too!!


Nudgy - so glad that your cancer has disappeared and that you are getting better!!

I love long hair and nails too. My hair was nearly down to my butt, just had it trimmed to about waist level as it was getting really heavy!!  Also another thing I noticed (in the last couple of years) is that it hasnt been growing as fast as it was. I cant wait for it to stop falling out and to get strong and healthy again!!

I would really love to be eating totally organic produce but its really hard to get around Collie/Bunbury area. We live on 31 acres but at the moment we only have a few organic apple trees and (when it was warmer) salad stuff growing in a small green house. We're planning a HUGE vege garden that'll start happening in spring. At the moment its too wet, windy and cold really for anything to grow. Right now its POURING with rain and there is just water EVERYWHERE!!!! Dont get me wrong, I LOVE the rain but its just abit impractical for gardening!! lol 
I have lots of clean water to drink tho - we have 5 rainwater tanks!

Yeah I have read too that cancer and disease thrive in an acid body and can see the connection. My mom is VERY health aware. We ate pretty much vegetarian until I was about 13. We weren't allowed chocolate, lollies, junk-food, etc. And we hardly ever had dairy or bought bread. So yeah I have been brought-up being aware of the dangers of food additives, preservitives, colourings etc and also the nesessity of eating healthy and having a healthy lifestyle.

Since finding out about my tumour, I have used only cert. organic toothpaste, deo, shampoo and conditioner. It just seems so wrong to me, to use chemicals on my skin if I am being so careful about my diet!
Love 'n' *hugs* back to you too!!


Ok ... now where was I.... ??

OH yes....

Well, I didnt plan on it but I REALLY fell off the raw wagon yesterday. Ate alot of junk that I shouldnt have but didnt have much choice, due to unforseen circumstances. I didnt eat any meat (ick!) just junk... (blah)
But I am well and truely back on the wagon today!! What is interesting and I think a good lesson for me, is that - while I've been raw I havent been feeling the best due to my leg and no doubt detox BUT this morning after yesterdays cooked junk episode I just feel 'dead'. (sigh how to explain how to explain... help!!) Well I guess, when I eat RAW there is just this 'aliveness' and this morning it just wasnt there. Sorry I'm pretty hopeless at expressing my thoughts! lol
But yeah it was truely an important realization for me!!

Anyway I should go now

Hehe oops just realized HOW long this post is!!!

Love n Hugs n Joy n Peace to every wonderful person!!

Natasha xoxoxoxoxoxo

Hey raw sensation and emi!! Thank you so much for your posts, understanding, love and energy!!! It truely helps!!

Yeah I really want to eat more fruit - its a bit hard now that its winter.... you can only eat so many apples & oranges!! Nah... I try to buy persimmons, bananas, passionfruit, pears etc.

I find that when I'm feeling low I dont look after myself as I should (with food etc) - which is when I need to more than ever!!

Jen... I am 20.   I am the oldest of 5 kids.

I'll definately try to post more often - it is so healing and encouraging even just to read through threads.

Anyway I REALLY must go to bed now

Love Hugs Peace and Energy to all

Natasha   

Hello dear people!!!

Sorry I havent posted lately. The last couple of weeks have been really hard for me and I dont like posting unless I am happy and cheerful because I hate sounding all whingy and pathetic!!   

Ok... news.... my tumour has still been dying off and the hole is now about the size of a 20c piece. Its been really painful and now it is an open wound it looks really gross... well... grosser... but ANYWAY!!!! lol!!  I am being very careful with it – cleaning it with hydrogen peroxide and using sterile gauze and bandages (could just about buy shares in the bandage company!! Lol)

I've been feeling rather frustrated that the tumour isnt gone yet - I guess because I am just so exhausted and drained (physically and emotionally) all the time and there is so much I want/need to be doing.

I think I just have to forget about all the things I THINK I need to be doing and just concentrate on getting rid of the cancer and getting healthy... THEN I'll have all the energy to do all those things!!! (Kinda hard to tell that to my brain tho!!! lol!)

Apparently cancer saps all the nutrients from your body,
Which is very interesting because around the time the tumour first appeared (I was about 14/15)
- I started PACKING on the weight (I was a size 8 ) (huge family problems and a very toxic boyfriend didnt help either!)
- I started losing my hair (I have thick hair and I know its normal to lose a bit everyday but I remember the change from 'a bit' to 'heaps' happened quite suddenly)

…. So yeah…. Once this cancer is gone and my body is cleaner and healed everything else should balance out.


We have a new JUICER!!!!!!! YAY!! I have been using an old centrifugal juicer (I think Mom bought it about 20 yrs ago!!) and now my parents just bought a Lexen Enzyme Juice Extractor! (www.lexenjuicer.info) It runs at 76 RPM so is classified as ‘cold press’ and can juice wheatgrass, sugar cane, make nut butters and also real fruit ‘ice cream’!!!! AND the FLAVOUR …. WOW….!!!!! Just amazing!!! Hmmmm….. now we just need a really good blender… maybe I need to drop some hints about that now … hehehe!!

ANYWAY.... Ramble Ramble Blah..... Blah....... Blah.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I best be off to bed now as I have work in the morning.

Hugs and Kisses to all

Natasha

 

Hello again everyone!! oh boy I wasn't expecting so many replies!!

Thank you so much May, Jen, Emi, Frances, Rudolf & Meg - for all the love, encouragement, thoughts etc!!!

I'm still a bit emotional - which is to be expected I guess

Not feelin so good tonight as I fell today and landed on my knees and lump - yeow (our bull got out and we were trying to get him back in  ) but anyway its ok.

Stuff is still coming out of the hole and there looks as tho there is still a bit to go... but its getting there!! 

Anyway better get off to bed now

Thanks again for all your posts!

Love n Hugs
Natasha xoxoxoxoxoxo

Hello All!!!

Sorry I haven't posted lately - the internet has been playing up AGAIN! and I've been an emotional wreck AGAIN!

Thank you, May and Jen for your posts! You are both beautiful ladies - inside and out!!! mwah!

ANYWAY......

I have NEWS.....

Most of my tumour has come out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The hole is only about the size of a 5c coin. After my shower sunday morning I noticed there was stuff coming out of it, from behind the scab that had formed, so I pressed on either side of the lump and STUFF started coming out.... and just kept coming and coming!!!!! Oh Boy!!!! The amount that came out would have filled a golf ball!! I kinda dont know how to explain the STUFF....... it was dead cells I guess and I think my body was trying to flush it out as it had been oozing fluid for a couple of days. I wont tell you what it looked like.... !!!!!!!!!

There is still a bit to go yet, and my body also grew a membrane around it (to keep it enclosed I guess!!) so once thats all out it'll be over!!!! yippie!!!!!!!

Its such a relief for it to be nearly over! I feel all shaky and teary when I think and talk about it so I guess I've kinda been putting off posting about it on here!

I would like to thank every one of you who has posted on here. Thank you ..... welll.... for EVERYTHING!!!!!!

Anyway I better go, hope I didnt gross you all out too much...!!

Love, Hugs, Happiness, Health, and Peace to Everyone
