believe...hope...putting on the boxing gloves
OK, it's a new day. I'm feeling much better today. Spent some time feeling sorry for myself, but I think I'm entitled. Now, it's onward and upward, time to get a grip and get back to work...there is much to do to get battle-ready. My eating vegan is going great, but I'm kind of flying by the seat of my pants, so to speak. When I get back from Italy (we are leaving on Saturday, June 28) I will decide what my treatment will be, I will meet with the nutritionist and will get more structured and find out exactly what I'm doing. Until then, I am doing my own thing, but all healthy, all the time. Oops, just remembered a couple of things I haven't been doing, but I am well on my way with going GREEN. I even had steamed spinach for breakfast. Food has taken on a different role for me now....no longer do I yearn for, or crave things. It has become something to put into my body that will help me fight off and wrestle to the ground the bad cells. That may be naive, but I don't care...it is how I am able to do this. This may not be a cure, but it sure can't hurt me. I guess it just feels good to be doing something....

Dearest Bev,
We are praying that God will guide you in your next decisions and continue to direct you to the people who can help you the most. Wish we could be there to give you a great big hug.
Love Ron and Lyn
Hi Bev,
Wow, I don't know what to say. I have been following your ups and downs over the past few months through my mom. We were relieved the surgery went so well - now this. We have been out of town for a week so I just heard the rotten news today. I immediately came to my computer to check out your blog. You are amazing! I have so much love in my heart for you! I adore your spirit and love for life - you will conquer this. We have the faith! I don't know what more to say. I just wanted to leave a short message to let you know we are praying for you hear in Manti -- keep up the fight!
Love always,
Robyn and Andy
Battle ready is right. Way to go mom!
Dear Bev,
What's the deal with the goddam virgin diet? It sounds very unhealthly and you haven't been a qualified virgin for many years. I think you should go back to red meat, eggs, coffee, ice cream and alcohol. I have been consuming these products my entire life in great amounts. I have not had to go to a doctor once except when I had my heart transplant, liver transplant, kidney transplant and bone marrow transplant. Kristeen and Keith are currently following the vegetarian diet, which may be similar to the virgin diet, and they appear very healthy but it has had an adverse affect on their brain cells.
Bev, who are you going to listen to -- me or some half assed quack doctor?
I hope you have a marvelous time in Italy.
We are planning on you visiting us sometime this summer or fall. I will have a Jack Daniels ready for you. Spike wants to go hiking with you. Barb wants you to help her make a quilt or whatever the hell else she does in her craft room.
Everyone in Utah is pulling for you . No feeling bad for yourself --- it's not your style.
If you need any more dietary advise, please give me a ring. I'm on call 24/7 but for some reason no one ever calls!
Talk to you when you get back.
Love you,
Voo
What a hell of a fight you put up, mom! Going through your "Little House in Plymouth," I found what must have been a stack 16 inches tall of recipes, dietary advice, cancer research, notes from Chris Brown, exercise routines, and on and on. I knew you were working and researching, but I'd had no idea the extent of it.
I miss you.
Love, Keith
