I thought of it, then I contacted Dr. Ogididan via email, I didn't believe him that much, I just wanted to give him a try, he replied my mail and Needed some Information about me, then I sent them to him, he prepared it (CURE) and sent it to Airfreight Online Courier Service for delivery, he gave my details to the Courier Office, they told me that 10days I will receive the package and i took the medicine as prescribed by him and I went for check-up 2 weeks after finishing the medicine, I was tested cancer negative, if you are cancer do me a favor for you to contact him and I will try my possible best to make sure you get cured, when you contact him, make sure you tell him that I referenced you.. contact him via Email; drogididanherbalhome@gmail.com WhatsApp +2347065002556 or contact me on robertmary8947@gmail.comrobert maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729405930517117359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-34011985854740987642009-07-02T14:44:19.039-05:002009-07-02T14:44:19.039-05:00God Bless you and your mother, my friend.

It was a very aggressive form, and it was scary to watch as a young 13 year old kid. My mother took the brunt of it, and shielded me from a lot, but it's hard. He was able to be at home with my grandmother and mother beside him when he passed, which was what he wanted. I wasn't first tier as you say, so I'm sure I don't know how hard it all really is (I was still too young), but at least you're both strong and fighting. Your mother will never be able to tell you how much it means having you there to fight this with her, words aren't enough for that kind of thanks. You're both in my thoughts, and thanks for continuing to share your recipes with us, take comfort in your craft :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-55546416456111190472009-03-15T03:19:00.000-05:002009-03-15T03:19:00.000-05:00Mercedes, I just stopped by and read the news - I ...Mercedes, I just stopped by and read the news - I cannot say anything beyond I am so sorry, I am so moved by what you wrote and what you are doing, that as much of a stranger as I am, should you need anything just e-mail me and I will respond and finally, only the sweetest hopes and thoughts for you and your lovely mother.

Y...Mercedes, <BR/><BR/>I just found your blog via Pink Bites. Your mother has done a fabulous job of raising you, you have a gift and you share it with the world. I must tell you, I too am a single parent of a 10 year old daughter, no father had ever been involved. I cannot begin to imagine your fear but speaking as a single mother, I can understand what your mother must be going through. From the moment we give birth, tucked in the back of our minds is the fear that one day, we will be apart from our child...permanently. It is a fear which has the potential to paralyze us but as single moms, we must move ahead, carry on each day. When your mom is so tired and the cancer has robbed her body of strength, tell her it is ok to sleep, rest her mind. Let her know you will be ok. She needs to know you will be alright. Thanks for sharing with the world, we're sending hugs and warm smiles your way. <BR/><BR/>Kenna and PearsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-2439228953783053592009-02-18T23:29:00.000-05:002009-02-18T23:29:00.000-05:00I just discovered your blog and I am so inspired b...I just discovered your blog and I am so inspired by you.

I know how hard it can be to be the person caring for someone who is going through chemo etc. If you'd like to chat, even though you don't know me, I am very willing to tell you about my experience and perhaps give you some tips on how to deal with the stress etc. You can find me via my blog on blogspot: One Tall Redhead.<BR/><BR/>As far as food for chemo goes- all my mom wanted to eat was Whole Foods' carrot ginger soup warmed up.

Thank you for being so open (and vulnerable) about your mother and your family. Seeing the pride that you have in your culture and family, I can see that you have learned a lot from a beautiful and strong-willed woman. My own father was diagnosed with cancer, and was given months to live. It gave me a new meaning of life, as I know that time on earth is limited and that our loved ones are the most important to us. My priorities changed almost instantly. Given what I have read and seen on your blog, I am sure your mother is very proud of you (and I am sure you take after her), and I hope and pray that the cancer can be safely removed from her system. In times of great sadness and challenge, take time to remember the great happiness, and treasure every moment you have with your mother.Passionate Eaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14492203392706191554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-16978782435442300332009-02-03T16:30:00.000-05:002009-02-03T16:30:00.000-05:00Mercedes, I love your blog and personally I feel l...Mercedes, I love your blog and personally I feel like I know you, I am touched to hear about your mother and inshallah god willing she will be better soon.
