Hi Jan! I just wanted you to know that reading your message gives me hope. My mother is stage 3 and struggling. She gets easily depressed and the family is afraid she's 'thrown in the towel'. She is having a great deal of abdominal discomfort, bloating and gas and this interferes with eating. Her stomach rumbles all the time. Did you have any problems with this? Is this a side effect of the chemo? She's only had one treatment so far. Anyway, I'm a strong believer in nutrition playing a part of the healing process--any recommendations? Thanks, Jan!
