[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Gosh you people are so sweet and supportive..eyes welling up.

Besides my kids keeping me busy, I googled and researched this week (I know, I know, worst thing to do but I couldn't help myself and I wanted to learn more about skin cancers and esp melanoma).

I went onto skin cancer blogs and spent the week crying a lot, reading stories of struggles. I learned, though, that many patients with very advanced skin cancer are relying on turmeric extract to help.

Turmeric is a powerful anti- inflammatory, very inexpensive, and there are many studies that show it can help reduce the chances of metastatic skin cancer or prolong life.

Best to buy turmeric supplement with 95% standardized curcumin extract (that's the active ingredient in turmeric that is so helpful) and make sure it has peperine to make it more bioavailable. The stomach doesn't digest turmeric well.

Cooking turmeric only has 3-5% curcumin extract, so it's helpful in prevention of inflammation but not enough if your goal is to prevent recurrence of skin cancer.

Check this out! http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3535097/

So I just wanted to pass this along this information and I hope one New Years resolution is to take better care of your health!
