        I haven't heard that it's no good just that the unpowdered stuff is more effective!

              Turmeric is meant to be a really good cancer fighter. I live in the UK but get it from Whole Foods – just ensure it's the fresh root as opposed to the powder as it's more effective apparently. A word of caution is that it stains A LOT! Its yellow so anything you store it in/ clothes it touches will end up with a yellow tinge to them so use older stuff if you're juicing it. 

               

              The following is a good recipe I've used (it does taste pretty funky but just go with the flow!!)

                    Great news Patina and long may it continue for you and your family!

                     

                    I've read your mother's history and it sounds like I'm a similar level as her in terms of Ipi, brain mets and also Gamma knife so this is really inspirational for me!!

                          Celese thank you so much for that information. It really is so inspiring to read the impressive results that are out there in fighting and beating this disease and how you've responded so well. I've read your blog and that is some serious research you've done!

                           

                          I'm always a bit worried when I go 'Google searching' for the side-effects and success rates of the various melanoma meds out there in case it will just depress me but I firmly believe that keeping that positive mental attitude and not letting it beat you (continuing work, keeping an active family life etc.) really does work. 

                           

                          I'm a week out after my first IPI infusion and so far no side effects which is good. Back to work tomorrow (albeit from home as they're easing me back in gently!) but I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things. I'll keep you updated with my progression (body CT and head MRI scan results due on 13th Aug) and next IPI infusion on 18th Aug but for all of you fighters whereever you may be I hope that things are as positive as they can be!

                           

                          All the best,
