So, if you want to have a private conversation with me about information you do not want included in The Corner, then you will need to give me a phone call rather than send me a private email.

Thank you for you runderstanding.]]>

Due to some recent posts directed to "Administration of The Corner", I thought I needed to clarify to you call that I am the administration of The Corner. While Rob is also considered an administrator, he rarely does any posting or finalizing of registrations. Additionally, our nephew Brandon is also an administrator, however, this is solely for the purpose of updating The Corner forum program and/or making changes to it. He will never be involved in the day-to-day operations of The Corner.


To clarify, if you are writing to "Administration" you are going to get my private email address right now. There may come a time where we switch it to something different so it is separated out and kept from being batched with my regular emails, however, right now it is being directed into my private email address.

ALL registration applications are hand accepted by myself in order to avoid having spam addresses/content on The Corner. For example, today when I signed on, there was something like 25-30 spam registrations which I had to hand delete. This amount is higher than normal, but every time I go into activation area, there 2-3, often more. Further, while I can appreciate every new individual's desire to get onto The Corner immediately, it is impossible for me to activate registrations on a daily basis. Individuals are sent information when they fill out a registration that should tell them that it takes 24-72 hours for their application to be finalized.

Finally, if you need to send me an administration-type email, feel free to do so. I will do my best to address the forum issue(s) brought to my attention through such email. However, at the moment, please know that you will receive an automatically generated email stating that I am behind in my email replies and asking for individuals to join The Corner or call me personally. Your email is still being placed into my inbox and I will find it in there eventually. It probably would be a good idea to put wording in the subject line to the effect that it is about The Corner.

Thank you!]]>

I have found myself becoming very overwhelmed with the number of phone calls, private emails and posts on The Corner along with trying to juggle everything in and around my home/private life. I do not want to get into a position where I just shut down and can go no further with supporting those on Protocel who "find" me.

Because of my commitment to all of you using Protocel, this has been a tough decision for me to make as I understand that when you need/want answers you need/want them now. However, it has reached the point where I need to have at least one day a week where I am not available for Protocel phone calls. As Sunday is God's day of rest, then I'm also going to call it my "Protocel Day of Rest". I am hoping that this day of rest recharges me physically, emotionally and mentally.


During the balance of the week, I will try to make myself available as much as possible for phone conversations. However, I am putting the following Ground Rules in place:

1. NO calls before 9:00 a.m. and NO calls after 10:00 p.m. (Unless an absolute emergency). Rob works day turn and goes to bed between 10:00-10:30 p.m. I really would like to stop his being awaken by phone calls. Please factor in time differences if you are calling from another country. I am located in Ohio, USA which follows Eastern Standard Time.

2. If the phone rings 5 times without an answer, please hang up and try again at a reasonably later time (please not 5 minutes later). If I have not answered by the 5th ring, it means that I am either:

• Not at home
• Unavailable because of family time
• Already on another phone call or
• Someone else in my family is on another phone call.

Brandon will be doing this upgrade on Friday afternoon between the hours of 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time). Hopefully, it will not take the full 4 hours to get the new programming in place. During this time, we will unfortunately have to have the system closed down. However it will, baring any unforeseen issues, be back available after 7:00 p.m. Friday (if not sooner).

So, please make a mental note that The Corner will be CLOSED from 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on Friday, July 29th.]]>

Unfortunately, somehow we got into somebody's computer system that has gone a-muck with registrations for admittance into The Corner. Please rest assured that these registrations are being banned from admittance into The Corner. As we hand approve every registration, we have been able to prevent someone from actually "hacking" us (at least so far). As state above, I have banned each of these "odd" registrations today. Unfortunately, though, you will see some odd names/words as being admitted as new members and on the birthday list. These names should be off these areas by tomorrow.

Additionally, rest assured that no one has automatic access to your private emails through The Corner's program. These emails are protected from view from everyone with the exception of Administrators/Moderators of The Corner.

I would appreciate it, though, if I would be notified immediately if there is ever an odd posting/thread. Thank you!]]>

Additionally, any caregivers out there, especially husbands/wives -- he is available to answer any questions you might have about how to best help your loved one, how to support them during the process and protect them from negativity of those who claim that "I wouldn't do that if I was in your shoes".....]]>

Danny has been taking protocel for about 5 weeks now. We have just moved up to the 1/4 spoon 5 times a week (protocel 23). Now, here's my question:
from reading "outsmart your cancer" it appears that 23 is the right formulation for brain tumors, although depending on how I read things we may need to move him to protocel 50. Could anyone out there please advise on which formula is best for Danny, I'll need to order the next batch this week and I don’t want to get the wrong one, mainly because I don't want to delay the transition, if I need to make one.

would really appreciate a response to this one ASAP.

Abigail had not been feeling well for a couple of weeks (fever, RSV-sounding cough, lethargy). On Saturday, January 15, Annabeth noticed a lump on Abigail's lower neck near her shoulder. They took her to the urgent care and were told to take her to a children's hospital for blood work to determine what it might be. After drawing blood (which Abigail HATED), x-rays of chest and abdomen, another IV, and a CT scan, the doctors believed it to be a pediatric cancer called Neuroblastoma. The tumor starts on her left kidney/adrenal gland and works its way up through her torso, behind her heart, and surrounds her aorta artery.

A surgery was set for Monday, January 17 for the doctors to get a biopsy of the tumor as well as a biopsy of Abigail's bone marrow.

Saturday night they put Abigail in PICU (pediatric ICU) and decided to drain the fluid around her lung that night instead of waiting for Monday. The surgeon inserted a tube (big, long thing) in between her ribs and lung muscle. The lung was collapsed, and the area was full of fluid. They drained an insane amount of fluid.

Sunday she remained in that state with an IV, blood pressure cuff, oxygen monitor on her toe, tube going into her chest, and pediatric cables taped to 3 places in her back. She received morphine every 2 hours because adult patients report that chest tubes are extremely painful to have in.

Sunday night was not a good night for Abigail. Her breathing became extremely labored, and she did not look good.

On Monday the doctors were able to move her surgery time up 1.5 hours to try to help her. The surgery went well, and the Goss family was so very grateful!

She was in PICU for 3 weeks, most of that time fully sedated and intubated to allow her lungs time to heal. The tumor had complicated her organs and was preventing lymph from draining normally; she had extreme edema. She received one round of chemotherapy while sedated.

We finally got discharged, only to return the next day because she was vomiting uncontrollably--diagnosed with rotavirus ---the common childhood 'stomach bug'!!!

Finally got over all that; we started her on Protocel. Decided she needed one more round of chemo to keep the tumor in control and to give Protocel time to work. I hate chemotherapy, but we felt inspired and at peace with the decision. She made it through remarkably well.

Her oncologist says she has had a 92% decrease in tumor size!!! And that was only from round 1 of chemo. So we feel she has a really good path to start Protocel on.

Neuroblastoma is a childhood cancer that is very rare, and usually the child is born with it and it takes some time to detect.

It is my opinion that there are people that have very limited time to find the information they need regarding the use of Protocel and their health situation. As much as I like sharing my beliefs about God and/or philosophy, or to make casual conversation about other matters, or to get in a lively debate about anything, this forum is first and foremost about the use of Protocel and those matters related to it. I know there are people with cancer (or their loved ones), desperately seeking answers as to what can be done in a very limited time, that do not have time to read all the other bits of knowledge or casual conversation that is being posted that does not pertain to the usage of Protocel.

Our goal is to help as many people as possible, attain the best possible outcome for their health situation through the use of Protocel. We want this to be a place of comfort and compassion for everyone but we cannot let the main purpose of this forum get lost and the forum become nothing but a blog with an undefined purpose.

Thank you for your understanding regarding these matters.

I wanted to let you know the reason for my silence over the past week. Our daughter Brenna was married on Saturday, June 19th in North Carolina. The 10 days prior to her wedding were very hectic here. We were doing a lot of last minute running around and also trying to fit baking in with everything as well. Then we also had the trip to NC from Ohio and days down there with her.

Be forewarned that our son Zak is also getting married on July 9th. So, around the time of his wedding there will be a possibility that I will not be able to check on the forum every other day as is my usual habit. However as we are not responsible for the lion's share of our son's wedding and preparation for such, I most likely will be able to pop in and out like normal.

I have endeavored to catch up on all the urgent help needed matters and some other postings. I did not get to delve very far into the new Tell Us Your Story posts. I will try to do this tomorrow. However, welcome all newcomers to the forum. I hope that you find this a safe, supportive environment which is helping in your healing time. Additionally, should anyone ever find that they are being solicited by any company for any product, please advise me immediately. My email address appears with my signature below.

Always know that unless I am out of town, you can reach me by phone for any urgent matters.]]>

Elonna will be LIVE on the forum!! Have your questions answered in real time as Elonna will be on the forum specific times during the week. These times will change throughout the given weeks, but will be posted weekly and ahead of time so that you can plan accordingly.

The Month of May:

I'm sorry but I am unable to be on the Forum LIVE this month. As I had reported in a prior posting here, our daughter, Brenna is getting married in June. Our son, Zachary is also getting married in early July. Their weddings are 3 weeks apart. So, things are starting to snowball here and it appears that I'm going to have to make my appearances on the forum every couple days until we get Brenna and Zak married. These are important mile stones in our family life. I hope you all understand that during this time, I just cannot come up with extra time for the LIVE sessions. I will endeavor to get them started back up as soon after Zak's wedding as possible.

In the meantime, again, I'll be on and off the forum at different times during the week to reply to postings/threads during this time frame. If it is something urgent that you need to know, please feel free to call me just understand again that it may take you several attempts to actually reach me because of the running and preparing for these weddings that is now taking over life here.

I thought I would put a quick explanation of how to post a thread or reply post on here so that if any of you are confused, it will help you get the hang of the forum quicker.

To Post a Thread: In order to make a new Thread, you just click into the category you want it to appear in, such as Open Discussion or Tell Us Your Story, etc. Once you are there, all you have to do is look at top right side or the bottom right side of the page. There you will see a blue tab that states "New Thread". Click this and you are then able to give your Thread a subject line and type the body of your tread. When you are done, if you look towards the bottom of the page you will see options that state "Post Thread" and "Preview Thread". If you want to see it exactly how it will appear on the forum, press the preview thread. If you are happy with it, then just post it. It will then appear under whatever category you have put it under.

To post a Reply Post: To do a post under a thread already in existence, all you have to do is click into the existing thread, and you will see in the same position you found "New Thread" a new button which states "New Reply". Just click this and it will bring up the area for you to type in your response to the exiting thread. The subject line will already be filled in as you are reply into an existing thread.

Hope this helps!]]>

When you are done, if you look towards the bottom of the page you will see options that state "Post Thread" and "Preview Thread". If you want to see it exactly how it will appear on the forum, press the preview thread. If you are happy with it, then just post it. It will then appear under whatever category you have put it under.

To post a Reply Post: To do a post under a thread already in existence, all you have to do is click into the existing thread, and you will see in the same position you found "New Thread" a new button which states "New Reply". Just click this and it will bring up the area for you to type in your response to the exiting thread. The subject line will already be filled in as you are reply into an existing thread.

Hope this helps!]]> http://elonnascorner.com/showthread.php?tid=22 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 05:26:53 +0000 http://elonnascorner.com/showthread.php?tid=22
Please be sure to create an official signature as part of your profile. I really would appreciate both new users and existing users who have not done so already to to take the time to create a signature in the User CP.

You do this as follows: From the home page of the Forum, look in the gray bar area that says "Welcome back, ____" right under the main banner heading of Elonna's Corner. If you look to the right of the line that states "Welcome back, ____" there will a ( ) area. Inside that ( ) you will use the words User CP. CP stands for Control Panel. Click on this. You will be thrown into your User Control Panel. On the left you will see a drop down menu and one of the first options herein is "Edit Profile" which has sub-sections under it. The last sub-section is "Edit Signature". Click this. This brings up, on the right, a section where you can type in specifically how you want your signature to appear. At the bottom of the page, you have the option to "Preview Signature" or "Update Signature". Obviously, at some point, you are going to want to click the "Update Signature" option.

Also if you have already posted a Thread or post, you can see right under the area where you enter your signature and above the tab to update it, 3 options. One of these say to "Enable signature on existing posts". You would want to click the circle to the left of this option, by doing this, once your signature is updated, the forum's program will make sure that your signature appears underneath any entries you have already made.

Thank you!]]>
