Some of the full effects of the chemo are coming around now. I've got a mouth full of ulcers, so much so that my cheeks are swollen (makes eating difficult), my blood counts I can tell are low and my lymph nodes under my right jaw bone are puffy and sore, and my hair falls out more and more each day (thank goodness I have so much of it, it's hanging in there:) I'm having some trouble sleeping at night (night sweats, yeah menopause!) and my girls are sick with colds that I can't afford to get. They don't understand when I wear a mask around them and try to stay away from them, especially when they just want mommy hugs! Please pray for these things.
Chris is home, he enjoyed four days in Whistler with his best friend Chad. It was a much needed get away for him. Plus it's the last time Chris will have with Chad, his best friend, before Chad and Naomi move with their young family to the Phillipines as missionaries for 4 years. Please pray for them as they leave on Tuesday, we will miss them.
If you are interested in attending an evening dessert and music night, to support Chris and I, on Sunday June 24th from 6-8 pm, called "Friends for Feather" please email: friendsforfeather@hotmail.com to RSVP IT's at Northview Community church on 32040 Downes Rd in Abbotsford. It's a night of entertainment and fundraising. There will also be a silent Auction. Hope to see you in two weeks!
Please check out my Arbonne website: www.featherjanz.myarbonne.com
IF you have any questions about Arbonne please email me, fjanz@featherjanz.com
Five more days until Chemo again. Please pray that my white blood count is good, because if it's not it can delay chemo treatments and the medication to boost your count costs just under $3000 for one treatment!!!!
All the breast, oops:) I mean BEST,
Love,
Feather

Dear Feather
Ganoderma belongs to the Polyporaceae group of the Fungi family - Reishi and some formulas contain other mushrooms.
Ganoderma works in the treatment of cancer because it helps cleanse the body from toxins and it helps strengthen the immune system. It enhances liver detoxification, thus improving liver function and stimulating the regeneration of liver cells - making it a very important supplement for those who have liver cancer.
The anti-cancer agents in Ganoderma are the polysaccharides and Germanium. The polyshaccharide fraction of Ganoderma is largely responsible for its anti-tumor efficacy. Indications for Ganoderma use in cancer include supplementation a) to reduce side-effects during chemotherapy or radiotherapy, b) to prolonging survival and minimize metastasis, c) to improve quality of life, and d) to prevent occurrence or recurrence.
Ganoderma can be used as a supplement during chemotherapy or radiotherapy to reduce side-effects such as fatigue, loss of appetite, hair loss, bone marrow suppression and risk of infection. It can also reduce the toxic and side effects and mitigate the pains during chemotherapy and radiotherapy, in particular to cancer patients at terminal stages for prolonging their lives and improving their living quality.
Qualities of Ganoderma that help in the treatment of cancer include:
It enhances and helps regulate the immune and endocrine system, prevent tumors, improving the circulation and eliminating harmful free radicals.
Inhibits DNA synthesis of the cancer cells, destroys the terminal enzyme activity of the tumor cells, promotes macrophages and regulates T and B lymphocytes, thus restraining the spread of cancer cells.
It can also reduce the toxic and side effects and mitigate the pains during chemotherapy and radiotherapy
Enhances liver detoxification, thus improving liver function and stimulating the regeneration of liver cells.
Helps with cancerous ascites, increases appetite and help relieve the pain of late stage cancer.
It is especially effective with kidney diseases.
Ganoderma product - Ganoderma Lucidum that is a 20:1 concentration of six species of red Ganoderma. According to the manufacturer, their product is very bitter and less starchy than other gamodermas. It is produced at 70 degree celcius to maintain the high quality of nutritional value rather than the hot extraction method at 400 degree celcius that others use. Ganoderma Lucidum has a history of powerfully improving the immune system and balancing the body's functions. When the body cells are repaired it potentially enables the body's functions to be enhanced and balanced. Ganoderma Lucidum contains Yin (negative) and Yang (positive) and has a history of powerfully improving the immune system and balancing the body's functions.
