Hello good afternoon. How are you doing today? came across your blog and found it very interesting to talk to you. I guess ur das could be better if you weren't stuck in there with nthing to do and nobody to talk to on the outside world, that does suck. I hope your making more friends than u did when you first got in there. Sucks your family doesn't talk to you anymore sorry to hear that. Hope things turn around for u soon. You seem like a sweet guy and nobody should judge you because you made one mistake in your life and now your paying for it in the prison. My name is Krystle by the way. Hope to hear from you after you get this. I definitely would keep in touch with you. And I saw your picture not bad looking lol. I was surprised on how easy it was to find you on that sight. I wrote your address down and yes I will manage to write to you and send a letter out once I get stamps fro mthe post office. I hope if I write you, you write me back. Hope tp hear from you on here. Best wishes, Krystle M Scott. :)

hey how are you doing hun? I guess you could be doing a lot better if you weren't there. Anyways, I read ur blog about you voicing your opinion and I thought you made a lot of sense in what you said. You are absolutely right there are too many people who complain instead of getting off of their asses and doing something about it. I actually wrote your address down to where your at and I would love to plan on writing you and chatting with you through mail. You seem like a very interesting person to chat with. My name is Krystle by the way and I live in New Hampshire.

I have lately heard a lot of good things about vitamin D relating to cancer...I am not sure if you have the possibility to take vitamin D as a supplement but if you do it might be beneficial, just wanted to let you know...
(And vitamin D3 is much much better than D2 so take that IF you can)
This is from the internet:



As early as 1980, colon cancer was credited as the first cancer to benefit from sunlight. Early U.S. studies noted high death rates in the Northeast. This area has limited sunshine. Low mortality rates were noted in the Southwest, which has more sunshine. Many studies since then have confirmed these findings for both colon and rectal cancer. Ultraviolet-B (UVB) light produces vitamin D. Researchers concluded that vitamin D provides the primary cancer benefit.

Vitamin D and colorectal cancer

Vitamin D levels

There are numerous studies of the link between vitamin D and colorectal cancer rates. Such studies generally find that rates drop rapidly as vitamin D levels rise above 5-10 ng/mL (12-25 nmol/L), then more slowly until levels of 40 ng/mL (100 nmol/L) are reached.

How vitamin D works

Vitamin D blocks the growth of cancer tumors. The active form of vitamin D, calcitriol, does most of the work. Calcitriol is made in the liver and in various organs affected by cancer. This form of vitamin D offers several benefits:

Activates vitamin D receptors, which turn genes on and off
Prevents cancer from starting (Calcitriol encourages cells to either adapt to their new organ or commit apoptosis [cell suicide].)
Keeps surface layers of organs intact
Limits blood supply to the tumor
Reduces the spread of cancer
Increases absorption of calcium from the intestines (Calcium may reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.)
Prevention

Based on studies of colon and rectal cancer, vitamin D levels above 40 ng/mL (100 nmol/L) may reduce the risk of cancer. Taking 1000–4000 international units (IU) (25–100 mcg)/day of vitamin D may lower colorectal cancer risk.



Treatment

People with higher vitamin D levels at time of colorectal cancer diagnosis have better outcomes.

Harvard University studied patients with this cancer and vitamin D levels of about 25 ng/mL (63 nmol/L) or 31 ng/mL (78 nmol/L). Patients with higher vitamin D levels had half the death rates compared of those with lower vitamin D levels. A Japanese study found a similar effect for rectal cancer but not colon cancer.

Neither of these studies used vitamin D to treat colorectal cancer. However, vitamin D supplements may increase survival rates. Some cancer treatment centers are giving patients 5000 IU/day of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol).

Freedom,

I'm an old friend from high school. It's Catie....Jill and I hung out with you all the time. I would love to see how you are. Sorry you are in for so long but you haven't lost all your friends man. You made a mistake, you're learning from it and you'll move on to a better person than when you started out in this mess.

I had no idea you had kids. Just do what you need to and when you get out they'll think differently once you've proven yourself. Kids are resilient and very forgiving.

Please let us know you are and correspond. I'll write often if you do the same. Take care.

!!!!! I sincerely send all my blessings and prayers to you for overcoming the colon cancer. Remember: stay strong, and whip the cancer with all you've got! I'm sorry that I don't have any personal stories to share with you, but I'm sure others do. Keep us updated! And by the way, good luck with the federal court decision affecting the California prison system! Maybe taxpayers will save some money this time!
