I'm a bit late but I thought I'd post a question anyway.

I had prostate cancer at 38, and successfully nuked it with brachytherapy. Obviously that treatment is specific to where the cancer is.

With your treatments, will the T cells be able to take on any cancer, regardless of type and location?

No questions and I'm not even sure you'll see this, just wanted to say I bought Guns of Icarus three years ago and I'm amazed at how far you guys have come. Really impressed. Will definitely give this one a look at some point :)

Thanks, I'll give the eating early and sleeping on my side thing a try. I'll also lay off the antacids, Ive been eating them like popcorn.

I'm pretty sure I have GERD, I have an appointment with a specialist next month for proper scans and tests but in the meantime I'm pretty much self medicating on over the counter PPI's. I've also cut down on acidic foods like tomato, cut out coffee, tea, fizzy drinks and citrus drinks and I'm somewhat better. I used to eat super fast before and I try chew more now although that's a hard habit to change after 30 years.

I still have attacks of coughing when I get stressed out at work or in particularly bad traffic :) I've coughed so much a few time I ended up throwing up.

I'm hoping I don't have to have any operations and that I don't have Barrett but we'll see in a month. :-/

Any other hints and tips you can give me on things to avoid? How do you sleep now ? Do you try keep your head elevated?
