Is that right? Did you really say that?

I HEAR YOU!!   If the Boffins were correct - that keeping fit & healthy will prevent you getting ill/cancer -  my Triathlete Husband (who'd competed internationally for 60+ years) would NEVER have had Stomach Cancer & had 3/4 of his stomach removed & followed up by Chemo.  He has never eaten a bit of fat in his life, or drunk beer or wine and only ever eaten home cooked meals (except for the occasional meal out ....)  He was in his mid 70s when he had his Stomach Cancer surgery & chemo - and was competing again just 6 months later - which was AMAZING!!  

He went on to compete in 2 Triathlon World Championships with some of the best results for an Australian in the 2016 Team - he was just 2 minutes of getting 3 Golds!  He had 2 Golds & 1 Silver ..... and wasn't acknowledged as the best in the team, even tho he won more medals than anyone else!  He was gearing up to compete in The Tri World Champs in Sept this year on the Gold Coast, but an injury when I was doing Rads at Port Macquarie has put paid to that & he has now retired from competitive sport at age 82!

Likewise, prior to Jan 5th this year, I thought I just had cysts (that had been mentioned for 45 years ...... ) but no, it was the Big C!  I will NOT let this define me!!  Sounds like you won't either!!   GO GIRL!!

OMG!!  I've NEVER heard of the Paw Paw thing!!  It is an enzyme  & would 'dissolve' anything it is rubbed on to!  LOL  It is used to tenderise meat!!

I haven't heard of the Toxic Fat thing!!  Is there a copy of the advert anywhere to watch, like on youtube or elsewhere?

Yep, amazing how many dipsticks there are out there, eh??  MORE than happy to tell you how to live their life!  I hate to say it - but I wonder what they will say if/when THEY are diagnosed with cancer - and there is EVERY CHANCE there is, given the number of people now diagnosed!!

I am the first member of my family EVER to be diagnosed with cancer.
