Endometrial Cancer: Noticing my blessings every day

@naturegirl5 Thank you for this. I am looking into getting a second opinion from the Netherlands Cancer Institute. So far, I have not made dramatic changes to my diet or lifestyle. We have family here for Christmas which makes dramatic changes quite difficult. In fact, I have been a bit more sedentary because I have been the principal cook for the group, so I have less time. Our neighborhood group walks at least three times a week, and we have been missing those. I am interested in changing my diet and increasing my exercise but we already eat relatively healthfully at least in that we don't eat processed food much at all and grow our own fruits and vegetables that we mostly live on. If the Netherlands Institute second opinion does not work out I may look to the Mayo Clinic.

@heidivet That all sounds like a good plan. Getting another opinion from a cancer institute where there is research and the availability of clinical trials is a good plan.
This time of year is not the greatest for making changes to diet or lifestyle. This is especially true for me with lots of socializing and having guests over the holidays.
From what you wrote it sounds like you have a good exercise regime going with your neighborhood walks. Avoiding most processed and ultraprocessed food is so good. I have difficulty with that during the week when I feel I don't want to spend much time in the kitchen preparing a meal. I try to keep a variety of healthy foods in the freezer including those I've made myself. That helps me a lot.
It's very cold and snowy where I live in the northern U.S. so yesterday I snowshoed for about 2 hours with friends. That was loads of fun too as I like to look at animal tracks in the snow and try to figure out what kind of animals and what they are doing.
If you add exercise what would you like to do?
