I just got a call from my girl friend, Phyllis...the one with the breast cancer cells now dying in her hip (yes, folks, no longer growing!!!). Her cancer markers are down from 340 to 220 in two months, and she's lost 14 lbs following the lifestyle changes we've made together. Her "normal" for her cancer markers has been around 170 for years, so in just 2 months, she's almost back to that. And losing weight despite the medication she's on for cancer that causes weight gain...an average of 7 lbs/month, which is above the normal weight loss of diet plans of 2-3 lbs/month.

Yes, I literally did a happy dance in my kitchen when she told me the news, and I'm so happy I'm fighting tears. We're winning the battle.

She lives about 20 mins away. We're going to implement an exercise plan now to do "together" (separately, but both doing it, same as the diet).

It feels good...she told her doctor what she's doing, and he told her that obviously it's working, and to keep it up.
