Two years after surgery for Pseudomyxoma Peritonei, my second annual CT scan shows ‘no recurrence of disease’. Forever thankful 🙏

Congratulations. Looking forward to reading it.

Have just finished reading your book. Very sobering and a cautionary tale of the digital footprint we leave. Hopefully not prophetic 😉

I went to the GP with an umbilical hernia and bloating. After urgent referral, I was diagnosed with Pseudomyxoma Peritonei. Had surgery in 2023 and my last CT scan was clear. If you have symptoms, get checked out.

Remembering Iconic 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' Star Audrey Hepburn— The Major Advances & New Mystery Since Appendix Cancer Took The Actress's Life The fashion and film world lost an iconic actress when Audrey Hepburn died after being diagnosed with cancer of the appendix 30 years ago.

August is Appendix Cancer Awareness month. By chance, we were reading Breakfast at Tiffany’s at our book group so I’m also remembering Audrey Hepburn who died aged 63 in 1993 of this cancer. www.survivornet.com/articles/rem...

Appendix cancer rising among younger generation – new study The puzzling rise of this rare cancer in young adults.

The puzzling rise of this rare cancer in young adults.

Nifty! I must try this with my Vegepod this year. I’ve usually planted in rows, but this would make better use of limited space.

How did CNN report it?

They are such ugly cars. Can’t understand why anyone would want to buy them anyway.

Happy Birthday! Loving the view of snow topped mountains. Had a view of Ben Wyvis when growing up as a child and teenager. The snow cover heralded the start of Winter and the deminishing snow, the start of warmer Spring weather. 🗻

For me, owing to past surgery and change in metabolism, an omnivorous diet no longer suits as I don’t seem to metabolise animal fats. The reduction in cholesterol following a mostly vegan diet was an ‘experiment’ that has proven results for my health needs and I will now continue to eat this way.

Was able to reduce high cholesterol levels of 8.1 to ‘normal’ 5.4 within 6 weeks, reducing animal fats following a plant-based, nutrient-rich diet and regular exercise. GP was stunned with the change. However, still opted to go on a low-dose statin owing to my individual risk factors.

Great podcast.

Really? Surely not?

Meanwhile, attempt to minimise the damage with strong opposition to this madness. Otherwise, there will be an even bigger mess to clean up.

Came across this research ‘Novel Approaches for Treating Advanced Abdominal Cancers’

My handwriting has deteriorated over the years as I use keyboards so much on digital devices.

Specifically, I’d be interested to know about the impact of losing spleen, gallbladder etc on lipids. A high cal/high fat diet was recommended after surgery to counter weight loss and to assist with recovery. However, in my case my cholesterol levels shot up. Would organ loss also contribute?

Would it be possible to have more information about this research?

Looking forward to further updates.
