About the Prince of Wales Hospital Cancer Centre...
The Prince of Wales Hospital Foundation promotes the work of the Prince of Wales Hospital (POWH) to build healthier communities. Partnering with our community, we raise vital funds to ensure the continued development of research, education and special projects, which will provide integrated health care for the patients.
Over the next few years we will be embarking on a campaign to build a new, gold standard Cancer and Blood Disorders Centre on site and the BT4BC event is the signature event for this centre. The centre will work closely with the University of NSW’s Lowy Cancer Research Centre, to provide the latest researched treatments. When completed, it will be the only fully comprehensive, public cancer treatment centre in Sydney, which also treats many of our country patients.

Special Edition dedication Breast Cancer Awareness
I created this photography collection April 2017. The name fallenskies I created from angels that had fell from heaven. Losing two people from Cancer and watching them face this Global Killer head on, gave me a new found meaning for bravery. Cancer has no boundaries, doesn't care what race, religion or social position.
When a person of importance dies in The United States of America, we lower the American flag to half Staff out of respect to honor them.
In all of these photos the sun is setting, I've named them half mast Sunsets in Honor of those who have bravely fought cancer.
Each photo tells a story of life, of possibilities to come. A sky of a thousand words, a meaningful sky, a perfect ending. Thank you for your support. Promoting Cancer Awareness. My goal this year is to raise awareness by Asking the United States of America Government officials if they would be willing to recognize October 2018, Cancer awareness month by lowering our country's Flag to half Staff one day.
For Luke Kellerman & Eric Turkovich. Never Forgotten
Researchers have determined that the protein complex TFIID controls stem cell genes that repair skeletal muscle. This image shows human differentiated skeletal muscle fibers (myotubes, in green) expressing the protein MyoD (stained in red), which cooperates with TFIID in causing muscle stem cells to become muscle tissue. Cell nuclei are stained in blue. This discovery may help develop strategies that activate stem cells to repair muscle degenerated by aging or diseases like muscular dystrophy and cancer.

This cancer awareness pendant was made from PMC (Precious Metal Clay .999 Fine Silver)and an original stamp created by me. The top pendant is dome shaped and the ribbon is slightly raised, the bottom pendant is flat with a stamped heart. Once fired, the pendant was tumbled for smoothness, oxidized for depth, and polished for shine.

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.

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.

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.
Photo: Taken in room at sunset.
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.

Tamoxifen is a type of cancer medication used to treat and prevent breast cancer. Although this drug is one of the less expensive cancer drugs, comprehensive health coverage can help ease the cost burden just when you need help most. Unfortunately, many insurance companies do not provide adequate coverage for cancer treatments. If you have breast cancer, you might have already discovered that insurers do not like to pay for cancer-related expenses. Although Tamoxifen will not bankrupt you like some other cancer drugs, you should still be prepared to fight for your right to coverage.
Before filing a claim, read your health insurance contract. There are two sections that you should look at very closely, the schedule of benefits and the section called limitations and exclusions. The schedule of benefits is a long list of procedures that your insurance company will pay for. Although your insurer might not mention specific drugs, you should make sure that cancer treatments are eligible for coverage. You should read over the limitations and exclusions section for much the same reason. You should not try to file a claim if cancer treatments are listed under exclusions. Doing so would be a guaranteed waste of time. If you have any questions about Tamoxifen coverage, talk to your insurance provider for clarification.
Start by reviewing your own insurance company's policies regarding cancer and preventative treatments. If you start out by knowing what they allow or expect, you will have less let-down and struggle later. If they don't cover treatments like Tamoxifen, find a company that will. In many cases, you can even talk to the drug company about getting on a program that will help you afford your medications. Of course, having private health insurance is always going to be easier and less hassle. Private insurance companies aren't out to get you. They are just out to make a profit.
When it comes to maintenance treatment and ongoing care for things like cancer and other chronic diseases, insurance companies lose a lot of money. If they spend months paying for expensive prescriptions that you need for your situation, they are losing profits because you are ill for a longer period of time. In most cases, insurance companies deny these medications because it simply costs them too much money to pay for them. Take the time to find out about cancer treatment options and prescription coverage when you are looking at health insurance so that you don't find out that you aren't covered when it is already too late.
