I prejudged her doctor when the OP mentioned that he was recommended by Suzanne Sommers, because it is my opinion that Suzanne Somers directs people toward alternative medicine and away from traditional medicine and to me that is dangerous if they have been diagnosed with cancer.
A couple of nights ago I spent an hour on the phone with a friend who has had some preliminary tests that indicate she has a" darkening" that might be ovarian cancer. She doesn't want to have a D&C.or further tests. She doesn't trust the traditional medical community. She has always been a big fan of preventing cancer with lifestyle and taking supplements and she is scared and confused.
I am not a doctor, I have no credentials to tell people anything.
I understand scared because this Ebola crisis has me very scared.
I am going to bow out of public forums for awhile. I don't like how intense I have become and how I have abandoned respect for others and diplomacy.

Gracie don't be so hard on yourself. It's ok not to trust Suzy Summers and to voice that. You never know who may need to hear that. But if it's stressing you out then by all means take some space from this forum. But just know that it is for you and not everyone else that you are doing it for. Everyone else can take what they need and leave what they don't. We're all grown ups . . well at least chronologically, For myself I say "if I can't stay young at least stay immature". I love to look at the world through the eyes of children. They have such a grounded perspective and so much joy in the little things. To my children I say trust your gut, it will tell you whats right for you. We all have so much to learn and so little time on this planet to do so. Plus I find that I constantly revisit and relearn stuff on slightly different levels all the time. Throw in an aging body and it's all new again. I love to laugh at my mistakes, and good thing too because I'd be pretty grumpy if I didn't. Your perspective is welcomed and would be missed.
