I’m working this morning, but I did take a break to check out a few things, including this Science Daily article on probiotics used as a “weapon to fight cancer.” It deals specifically with myeloma, leukemia and lymphoma patients who have had allogeneic bone marrow transplants and graft-versus-host-disease. So I thought I’d post the link before getting back to work: http://goo.gl/H8Xmt

Interesting, huh?

Well, it’s not really surprising, considering that something like 80% of our immune system is located in our gut, which gives us a super good reason to keep everything healthy and happy down there, even if we are “only” MGUS or SMM…Hmmm, in fact, before getting back to work, I’m going to go take some probiotics…off I go…

Ciaoooo! 🙂

Oh, almost forgot. I also came across this article, which deals specifically with myeloma and is titled: “Possible treatment for serious blood cancer.” That “serious blood cancer” is myeloma, of course. Here is the link: http://goo.gl/MOU6V Will have to keep an eye on this one…

And finally, a quick P.S.: we had a very good Tuscan meal last night (starting out with crostini and bruschetta…and ending with a delightful crema al mascarpone, mmmmh), great views of Firenze right from our table, lots of laughs with our friends, good wine, excellent service…The restaurant owner even gave me a red rose, which was such a lovely touch…All in all, a very successful anniversary celebration! 🙂
