Conferencia “El cáncer en el plato” el 18 de septiembre de 2012 en el CRAI (campus Bilbao).

 

Con este título el Dr. Jesús Llona, que ayer día 18 de septiembre impartió una conferencia en la Biblioteca CRAI de la Universidad Deusto, ha escrito un libro.

El Dr. Jesús Llona Larrauri es experto en Alimentación, Nutrición, Sanidad y Bromatología, miembro de la Real Academia de Medicina del País Vasco, de la Fundación Española de Nutrición, de la Academia Vasca de Gastronomía (1994-2006), Presidente del Label Vasco de Calidad Alimentaría (1990-1999), Vicepresidente de la Academia de Ciencias Medicas de Bilbao (1988-1999), Premio Euskadi de Gastronomía (2006), concedido por el Gobierno Vasco, Premio Nacional de Gastronomía (1995-1996), , Premio “Nutrizioa Elkartea” 2007, Javier Sáenz de Buruaga. Premio “Gourmand Books” por su libro “Cocina Vasca en Bizkaia”, el mejor de su estilo en Eurpa. Premio Academia de Ciencias Médicas de Bilbao. Premio PilPil-Sanitas a la mejor ejecutoria profesional. Colabora hace 30 años en el diario El Correo, de Bilbao, y ha escrito 36 libros sobre alimentación y nutrición.

De este modo, Llona, apuntaba que las evidencias científicas dicen que alrededor del 70% de los cánceres se producen por factores asociados con el estilo de vida, un 30% con el tabaco, otro 30% por las formas de comer y beber, un 10% con el alcohol y solo un 5% la herencia.

Tal y como añade “es imprescindible hacer 5 comidas diarias (desayuno, a media mañana, comida, merienda y cena” y “6 en el caso de los pacientes diagnosticados de cáncer; se añadiría la recena”.

“Las setas (sobre todo las japonesas y bolletus), las nueces, el tomate, el yogur, el té verde, la leche desnatada omega3 y el aceite de oliva son fundamentales en la nutrición”. También añadía: “En nuestro país la gente es muy reacia a tomar suplementos dietéticos”, peo Llona subrayaba los beneficios que se pueden obtener mediante su ingesta; “el selenio y el zink, la jalea real, las perlas de ajo,...”.

Toda la información relevante acerca de la nutrición relacionada con las enfermedades y sobre todo el cáncer, las prevalencias,... los podréis encontrar en este libro.

Además Jesús Llona tiene un Programa Gastronómico con su esposa Garbiñe Badiola en PUNTO RADIO. Actualmente Presidente de los Amigos del Chocolate, de Bilbao, una Asociación Benéfico-Social y Cultural reconocida por el Gobierno Vasco.

Photo: Thursday evening I went back to the forest near my house. I just love the forest energy around me when I walking down a path, it is so still and quiet. Looking forward to exploring again soon.

 

My May blood test results remained mostly the same as April. My M protein (specific measure of cancer levels) remained the same at 20. It is difficult to get an accurate M protein value with my particular type of multiple myeloma, so we are also looking at another more general measure, called an igG, to get a more complete picture of my progress. The igG showed a slight increase (22.7 -> 25.8). However, as my cancer levels have not spiked again, there will be no change in treatment.

 

I’m focusing positive energy on good results for June. Feeling content.

 

M protein (g/L) (0 = no cancer detected)

May = 20

Apr = 20

Mar = 13

Feb = value missing (believe similar to January)

Jan 2018 = 13 (began Ninlaro chemo - Jan 8th)

Dec = between 10 and 11

Nov = 8

Late Oct = 9

Early Oct = between 5 and 6

Sept = under 7.7

Aug 2017 = value missing

Feb 2015 (began Pomalyst chemo + dexamethasone) = 36.1

 

igG protein (6.7 - 15.2 normal levels)

May = 25.8

Apr = 22.7

Mar = 22.0

Feb = 23.1

Jan = 20.6

 

To recap: On Sunday, May 20th, I completed Cycle 43 Week 3. I have Multiple Myeloma and anemia, a rare cancer of the immune system. It is incurable, but treatable. Since February 9th 2015, I have been on Pomalyst and dexamethasone chemo treatment (Pom/dex). On July 16th, my dexamethasone treatment ended, due to eye damage, as reported by my Glaucoma Specialist, from long-term use. On January 9th I began Ninlaro chemo as my cancer levels have been steadily rising.

On Oct 14th, my Pomalyst chemo treatment came to end after 48 cycles or 192 weeks. It feels odd that it is over. It is unfortunate that Pomalyst didn’t remain effective against my multiple myeloma, even when Ninlaro was added back in January. But, I’m not one to dwell on the past. I’m happy for the year and a half of low and stable cancer levels and I feel positive about my future.

 

At present, I’m about to start a third week of a new IV chemo called Kyprolis. Perhaps also due to the high amounts of myeloma (cancer) in my blood, my ability to concentrate is limited, and I experience ongoing fatigue and low energy.

 

I remain hopeful that this new treatment will result in lower and stable cancer levels for a long time. I’m focused on a calm lifestyle, with healthy eating and lots of rest.

 

To recap: On Sunday Oct 14th, I completed Cycle 48. I have Multiple Myeloma and anemia, a rare cancer of the immune system. It is incurable, but treatable.

 

From Feb 9th 2015 - October 14th 2018, I was on Pomalyst. I was also on dexamethasone chemo treatment until July 16th 2017, when my dexamethasone treatment ended, due to right eye damage, as reported by my Glaucoma Specialist, from long-term use. From Jan 9th - Oct 14th 2018, I was also on Ninlaro chemo due to rising cancer levels.

yes... what can I write down about cancer. my mum died because of cancer and then, one day later, I found my dad hanging in the bathroom. I was sixteen years and everything went wrong.

finally I can say, cancer changed my life and also the life of my younger sister.

that's why I kneel down on the ground, clasp my hands and pray to you... I'm saying a prayer for all the people - to those who died of cancer - and also to the ones who are developed of cancer...

Promise Fulfilled, Accomplishment Achieved at WSSU Commencement on May 14

 

WINSTON-SALEM, NC -- For Jeanette Valentine, earning her bachelor’s degree in business administration will be fulfilling on many levels.

 

Valentine, 50, is one of the approximately 1,000 undergraduate and graduate students who are expected to participate in WSSU’s Spring Commencement exercises on May 14 at 9:45 a.m. in the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Stephen A. Smith, noted journalist, media personality and motivational speaker, will be the keynote speaker.

 

Commencement will mark a special satisfaction not just because Valentine, a travel audit officer in WSSU’s accounting department, will be graduating with her 24-year-old son William R. Valentine. It’s because of a long-time promise fulfilled. Valentine made the promise to her mother back in 1978. Her mother and father never graduated from high school. When Valentine’s mother, who was battling cancer, asked her to promise she would graduate college, Valentine did. Valentine’s mother died two weeks before she graduated high school. Valentine was devastated over losing her mother.

 

“I started school at WSSU that year, but it lasted only one semester. I didn’t have the drive. I was still too distressed and overcome by my mother’s death. I couldn’t focus on school,” Valentine said.

 

Instead, Valentine got married, had two children and eventually went to work at a few jobs before coming to work at WSSU in 2006. In 2007, she decided to return to school since her children were adults. At the same time, her son who graduated high school in 2004 was thinking about returning to college after quitting previously. By fall 2007, both with full-time jobs returned to school at WSSU. He was an exercise science major and she was in the School of Business and Economics.

 

“He was so career focused on his job and he was doing well. But I kept pushing him and telling him he had to get a degree. I was thrilled he came back to school and that we were in school at the same time. It was exciting,” said Valentine.

 

Eventually Valentine saw her son was distracted by work. They talked and it was he who asked they agree to push each other so they could graduate at the same time.

 

That time is now. Valentine is thrilled they are graduating together. She says it feels like she has kept the promise made to her mother times two.

“In addition to the accomplishment, it may be quite an emotional day,” Valentine said.

 

Valentine is a member of Beta Gamma Sigma, the international honor society for collegiate schools of business as well as Alpha Sigma Lambda, a national honor society for Adult Learners in Continuing Higher Education. She plans to pursue her master’s degree at Liberty University.

 

Extraordinary Journey

It will be a festive ending to an extraordinary journey for Jerrica Scott, 24, of Winston-Salem. For Scott, commencement will symbolize the end of a passage marked by limitations, fear and uncertainty. It will be a celebration of a personal renaissance, driven by a theme that anything is possible with faith, passion and purpose.

 

“No matter how bad things may look, you can make a difference in your own life and the lives of others if you work really hard and know things can change. Soon things may look different, then not so bad, better, even good.”

 

Scott’s journey is verification of her belief. She entered WSSU to earn a four-year bachelor’s degree in elementary education six years ago as a single teen-aged mom. During that time as a full-time student, living on her own with her young daughter, she worked full-time, changed majors multiple times, quit school, got married, had another child, returned to school, made up a semester of credits lost when she quit and found her way back to the major that gave her the purpose.

 

“Just before I started my freshman year, I could hear people saying now that I had a baby as a teenager, my life was over or I wouldn’t get very far,” noted Scott. “Because I got pregnant in high school and had a baby in my first year of college, it didn’t mean I would be a failure. I did not want to be the stereotype of a young single mom who would work only at fast food restaurants or be on welfare the rest of her life.”

 

Although Scott was determined, she became distracted during her second year.

 

“I was failing classes miserably. I was living on my own and I was 18 years old. I felt lost and beaten, so I quit school,” Scott said who worked as a waitress. “Then one day, my manager told me the biggest thing he regretted was not finishing school. So if you don’t want to be waiting tables for the rest of your life, you need to go back to school. “

 

That was the turning point for Scott. She also thought about her mother, a cosmetologist, who always stressed the importance of education and often expressed interest in wanting her children to be greater than she. Scott soon quit her job and returned to school. Her best friend and others helped her find her way back to the major that aligned with where her talents and passions had always been -- elementary education.

 

“My best friend told me this is what I suppose to be doing. She told me we are going over there right now and you are going to get enrolled back into school. I just thank her,” said Scott.

 

Then she met a good man who cared about her and her daughter. It was like an unattainable dream. They soon married. Her second daughter was born in 2010. Now in school and completely focused on her education, Scott delivered the baby on a Friday and returned class on Monday.

 

Scott is currently working as a substitute teacher and searching for a fulltime permanent teaching job. She is also going to be the “first in my family to graduate college.”

 

Multiple Job Offers Early in Her Senior Year

Information technology major Kristen Dunlap, 21, of Charlotte, has accomplished a standout achievement, even before she completed her last year of college. In this challenging economy, she had two job offers from Fortune 500 companies one before her senior year, the other early in her senior year. She selected one position which she will begin this summer.

 

Dunlap attributes her success to internships, which she began participating in back in her freshman year. That first one was a summer research experience for undergraduate WSSU computer science students at WSSU, funded by NASA. She used, GIS visualization tools to visualize North Carolina weather patterns. The goal of the summer program was to expose students to researching skills and help to develop their problem solving and critical thinking skills.

 

For her second year, Dunlap interned at the NASA Langley, Va., facility where she worked as a liaison between the technology and client teams for the database tracking system used to manage NASA’s contractual projects.

 

For summer 2010, she was an intern at Altria Client Services in Richmond ,Va., where she worked on data archiving to consolidate previous and current information to migrate to a new system.

 

“You can never underestimate the value of internships. I started utilizing the WSSU Career Services office in my second year. My parents always told me to be aggressive at seeking job opportunities. I didn’t want to be a person to work hard for four years and have no job in the end,” Dunlap said.

 

She will start her new job at Altria Client Services as an IT assistant analyst.

 

The Entertainment Mogul

Erikka Rainey, 22, of Philadelphia wants to be a female Sean “P-Diddy” Combs. In fact, she has wanted to be an entertainment mogul from a very young age. As a child, she dabbled in music and even took classes, but by age 14, she knew wholeheartedly that she wanted to be on the business side of the music industry.

 

“When I first learned about P-Diddy, I knew that was where I wanted my future to be,” said Rainey. “I look up to P- Diddy because I’m working to be the first female to start a record label, then restaurants, clothing lines and television shows.”

 

When she sees a famous entertainer, she wonders what sort of things they did in their career to get famous. If not famous, she wonders what it would take to make them famous. While at WSSU she jumped at every opportunity to market and promote musical artists and events. She worked with Hidden Beach Recordings to promote events for a new CD. She passed out flyers and did social media and internet marketing for jazz artist Monette Sudler of Philadelphia this past summer.

 

“If there’s one thing I live by, it’s take advantage of all opportunities. Don’t close yourself off to anything. You never know what you will learn that can be the key to your future,” Rainey said.

 

An honor student, Rainey will be attending New York University’s (NYU) music business program in the fall. She plans to maintain at least one home in New York City after graduate school when her career kicks off.

Photo: I love nap time as I have chronic fatigue due to my multiple myeloma and low energy from chemo treatment.

 

I'm so happy to announce that my late Oct blood test results show a decrease in cancer levels, even though I was only on IV chemo for 2 weeks (4 sessions) rather than 3 weeks for Cycle 1 (6 sessions).

 

My cancer levels (m protein) dropped from 48 (Early Oct results) 5 weeks ago to 27 (Late Oct results) last week. This means my treatment is working already, which feels amazing, as IV chemo is a pretty intense process. I’m excited to see my next test results later this month.

 

This week I begin Cycle 2 of chemo using my fancy new Port.

 

M protein (g/L) (0 = no cancer detected)

Late Oct = 27

Early Oct = 48

Sept = 41

Aug = between 37 and 38

July = between 31 and 32

June = 25

 

Feeling great!

 

I have Multiple Myeloma and anemia, a rare cancer of the immune system. It is incurable, but treatable.

 

From October 2018 I've been on Kyprolis (carfilzomib), an IV chemo with Cyclophosphamide + dexamethasone.

What I love about my quarterly Myeloma (Cancer) Specialist appointments is how they always bring clarity to my monthly blood test results. The Q&A helps me better understand how I’m responding to chemo right now and what it means within the larger context of my overall treatment for multiple myeloma. My March blood test results showed my cancer levels (m protein = 13) remained the same as January, although my February results were missing.

 

M protein (g/L) (0 = no cancer detected)

Mar = 13

Feb = value missing (believe similar to Jan)

Jan = 13 (began Ninlaro chemo 2 weeks prior)

Dec = between 10 and 11

Nov = 8

Late Oct = 9

Early Oct = between 5 and 6

Sept = under 7.7

Aug = value missing

July = 3.0 (ended dexamethasone - steroid)

Feb 2015 (began Pomalyst chemo + dexamethasone) = 36.1

 

My Specialist brought up two areas of concern with my recent results. First, as I’ve shared before, with my particular type of multiple myeloma, it isn’t always possible to get an accurate measure of my cancer levels from the m protein value. So with future test results, we will also look at additional measures of my cancer levels, which together should provide a more complete picture of my overall progress.

 

Second, in January I began an additional chemo called Ninlaro. It is hoped that Pomalyst + Ninlaro would be as effective in lowering and stabilizing my cancer levels as Pomalyst + Dexamethasone (steroid) was from Feb 2015 - July 2017. My Dexamethasone was stopped by my Myeloma Specialist last July, as my Glaucoma (Eye) Specialist found it caused eye damage. Hopefully Ninlaro will keep my cancer levels stable or cause them to decrease. If they increase steadily, then we may explore other treatment options.

 

I’m focusing a ton of positive energy on getting Ninlaro to step up its game and work with Pomalyst to lower my cancer levels.

 

Come on Ninlaro, I believe in you!

 

Photo: On Saturday afternoon, I was walking on a forest trail, when I came across an area, I felt represented my current state on chemo. The path was well worn and stable, but on each side were brush and branches sticking out everywhere, it looked chaotic. As long as I remain on the path (cancer levels remain stable), everything is good, but if I stumble or venture off the path (e.g. cancer levels increase), then treatment changes seems likely

 

To recap: On Sunday, March 25th, I completed Cycle 41 Week 3. I have Multiple Myeloma and anemia, a rare cancer of the immune system. It is incurable, but treatable. Since February 9th 2015, I have been on Pomalyst and dexamethasone chemo treatment (Pom/dex). On July 16th, my dexamethasone treatment ended, due to eye damage, as reported by my Glaucoma Specialist, from long-term use. On January 9th I began Ninlaro chemo as my cancer levels have been steadily rising.

Cancer might be fatal, which we know, but discovering how cancer and it's treatment may affect your whole body isn't as widely understood. Finding the important information is the easiest way to know the health challenges linked to cancer. This informative article contains many useful cancer tips.

 

The complete easy have a leg up from the battle against cancer is early detection. Generally have your tests and screenings as recommended. This tests can detect presence associated with a cancer cells, which generally arrive before cancer's symptoms arrive. Execute a self examination once monthly, to confirm for breast or testicular cancer.

 

When you know someone by using a diagnosing cancer, let them have the opportunity talk with you. Although this could be difficult to do, your partner will appreciate the opportunity talk through their feelings with someone that cares. Permit them to talk without interrupting or looking to let them have advice.

 

See the literature for this subject, if someone close or maybe you, has cancer. It's crucial that you feel safe.

 

You may reduce probability of colon cancer by about 40% when you embark on regular exercising. People that embark on routine workouts are generally healthier capable to avoid diseases that increase the possibilities of developing cancer. Keep looking to stay active.

 

When you stop smoking cigarettes, it lowers the likelihood of getting carcinoma of the lung, additionally it protects you from colon cancer. The smoke you inhale causes carcinogens to produce from the colon. The tobacco can certainly make the colon polyps bigger, too. These are typically just some of the reasons why you must stop smoking cigarettes.

 

The ideal defense against cancer is usually to be informed about the indications of the many types, for example colon cancer. When you have symptoms like blood with your stool, unexplained fat loss or cramping then you may have colon cancer. So provide you with yourself examined if some of these symptoms occur.

 

Fit everything in you may to address your cancer. Although you may feel overwhelmed, remember you are fighting for your personal life. humancancer.org

My Oct blood test results show my cancer levels (m protein) have spiked to 29 from 21 in late September.

 

I spent about 5 minutes trying different self-portrait ideas, before I was too fatigued to continue and had to leave to rest at home. Although my disease causes chronic fatigue, it has felt more pronounced, like having a full brain, making thinking and physical activities much more challenging.

 

At this rate, I expect that my November blood test results will also increase and that in December chemo treatment will begin again. Not going to panic. Just staying calm and positive.

 

Happy November!
