340901 - Millie received a letter from Ron today with the subject "Cancer info
340902 - update," reported in another record. ref SDS 7 ML5J, and shown further
340903 - in the same record. ref SDS 7 0Y6M
340905 -  ..
340906 - Ron's letter forwarded an article purported to be published by John
340907 - Hopkins Medical Center, and promoting diet and exercise to replace
340908 - rather than complement medical care with chemotherapy, radiation, and
340909 - surgery. ref SDS 7 4P70
340911 -  ..
340912 - Research shows the article attributed to John Hopkins is evidently a
340913 - hoax. ref SDS 7 4P9X
340915 -  ..
340916 - Since copies of this hoax document were sent to family and friends,
340917 - ref SDS 7 0Y6M, Millie wanted to respond constructively to alert
340918 - people that her good fortune surviving stage IV cancer for 7 years has
340919 - occurred using medical treatment with diet and exercise. ref SDS 7

340923 - Millie sent a letter to everyone on the distribution list...

340925 -    1.  Subject: Thanks for Cancer Info on Diet and Exercise

340939 -         ..
340940 -    2.  Thanks for thinking of me today with your letter on cancer
340941 -        information. ref SDS 7 0Y6M
340943 -         ..
340944 -    3.  I got this from several other people.  It turns out to be a
340945 -        hoax. ref SDS 7 4P9X

340949 -         ..
340950 -    4.  I suppose the report that the letter is a hoax, could be a hoax
340951 -        too.  There is another source that says the same thing...

340955 -              [On 081021 Ron reports remedies in the hoax email
340956 -              attributed falsely to John Hopkins Medical Center aligns
340957 -              with work he did on 050422 researching cancer.

340960 -         ..
340961 -    5.  But it could also be a hoax.
340963 -         ..
340964 -    6.  I'm not sure what to believe on the Internet.  I get a lot of
340965 -        email on cancer treatments and cannot check everything.  Since
340966 -        it came from you, I read through and found advice on diet and
340967 -        exercise.  My doctor at Kaiser talks a lot about these factors
340968 -        playing a big role in health.
340970 -         ..
340971 -    7.  I attended a seminar on Saturday about cancer research [081018,
340972 -        ref SDS 5 IS5L].  It reported the latest findings from an
340973 -        oncology conference this past August in San Antonio.  A big
340974 -        case study shows exercise builds the immune system that helps
340975 -        prevent and recover from illness, like cancer. ref SDS 5 IT68
340976 -        The presenter on Saturday emphasized alternative care that
340977 -        complements mainline treatments. ref SDS 5 YO4I

340981 - Kaiser UCSF Great Medical Team Survival Stage IV Cancer 10% Chance

340984 -    8.  My case was discussed for surviving over 7 years.  There is
340985 -        about a 10% chance of this, and only a 5% chance for 8 years,
340986 -        which I will hit in a few months. ref SDS 5 ZD3N  So, I guess I
340987 -        am on borrowed time, as the saying goes [noted by Millie's
340988 -        doctor at Kaiser on 080606, ref SDS 4 0T6I].  Very grateful for
340989 -        family and friends being helpful, and for good luck having a
340990 -        great medical team at Kaiser and UCSF.  A lot of people
340991 -        complain about Kaiser, but not me. [On 080606 Millie credited
340992 -        comprehensive care at Kaiser and UCSF. ref SDS 4 TR6N]
340994 -         ..
340995 -    9.  As we discussed at lunch, I have been exercising a lot the past
340996 -        few years. [see case study in another record today, 081020,
340997 -        ref SDS 6 8G5M]

341000 -   10.  Today, Pam called while I was a Lafayette.  She and Nolan came
341001 -        by later and brought homemade chili.  Yesterday, she brought
341002 -        over tuna casserole.  What a delight chatting with my daughter
341003 -        while out hiking, and getting great service with home
341004 -        deliveries.  Had the Chili for dinner this evening.  It was
341005 -        terrific, like the casserole last night.
341007 -         ..
341008 -   11.  Guess you know Marilyn and I are going to the Caribbean next
341009 -        week Monday for a cruise to the Panama Canal.  We are burning
341010 -        up the airwaves on the cell phone figuring out what to wear,
341011 -        and which side trips to take.
341013 -         ..
341014 -   12.  Thanks again for thinking of me.
341016 -         ..
341017 -   13.  See you when I get back in a few weeks.
