About Me
- Erin
- This is a picture of my daughter, Maura. She died from metastatic high-grade unclassified sarcoma* on May 19, 2009 at the age of 22. For one year I wrote about her journey with cancer. I don't know if I'll keep writing now or if I'm done. We'll just take it a day at a time. *Sarcoma is a little-known, under-researched, under-funded cancer. To contribute directly to research please consider giving a gift directly to: MD Anderson Cancer Center- Donations, PO Box 4486, Houston TX 77210-4486 ****(Please write "In memory of Maura de Souza " in the memo portion of the check to make sure it goes directly for sarcoma research.)

Make sure Maura is eating plenty of vegetables such as broccoli, winter squash, spinach, carrots, and others high in vitamin C and E. Fruits such as Apricots and grapes will also help. She should also eat a fair amount of protein in the form of grains and beans, yogurt and cottage cheese and be sure to get plenty of B vitamins. Increase consumption of Omega 3 oils and cut out vegetable oils and others high in Omega 6 content as they lead to increased inflammation.
We're all hoping and praying that those platelets start going back up soon.
