When the rubber meets the road

After a wonderful time with our kids and grandkids over the last couple weeks, and a week break from being at the Center with IVs and PEMF and EVOX therapies and Dr. appointments, I have made the decision to set out "on my own," you might say. I woke this morning to an email with a link to a video that helped me realize that I really do have the tools I need to strengthen my body so that it can take care of the cancer. The video is #1 of a series called "Square One" by Chris Wark. chrisbeatcancer.com  This series of videos would be a great place to start with a new diagnosis. If I had seen it and had enough faith at the time, I may have saved us tens of thousands of dollars. Today I got the results from a test for viruses. It turns out my sister has been right all along. Epstien Barr is a precursor to this cancer, as is HIV/AIDS. (Like HPV is a precursor to cervical cancer). The oncologist said he tested of both EBV and HIV and I didn't have them. The doctor...

8/13/17 Today I was surprisingly anxious about a follow up visit to find out the results of blood tests measuring cancer markers. A key one, the CTC (circulating tumor cell) count did go down from 6.4 - 6.0. What does that mean, you ask? Great question. There is a +- 3 sway in the results so it is essentially (probably) not much of a change.  It isn't the dramatic turn around I would have loved to have seen. It's going in the right direction but it isn't dramatic and, well, my life has changed dramatically. And I'm weepy. I'm trying to remember that City of Hope said the cancer was doubling every 34 days so this is actually great news. But I am tired and...weapy.  I'm surrounded by people that are so very much sicker than I. They have experienced so much more pain. Many are ravaged by treatments they've had before coming here. The woman next to me needs new hip sockets because of the chemo they used to get her bladder cancer into remission but, - i...

Hi there.  I met with the doctor and we have a reason to be thankful tonight. My negalase levels are normal. That is a good indication that my body is keeping the cancer in check. If it was high it could have caused me to start low dose but still toxic chemo now and kept the door open to getting a treatment called GCmaf in Japan. I'm relieved that expense is off the table. We are spending a fortune already. I will get a new circulating tumor cell count in a couple weeks which will tell us how much of a change there has been in the last 3 months. Feeling good and cancelling a scheduled appointment with the oncologist. There is nothing for him to do but order a biopsy or pet scan and I won't do either right now. My last day at work was last Thursday so I can do IV therapies that take much of the day 5 days a week for 3 - 5 weeks. Salicinium can change my biochemistry into something cancer cells don't like but only strengthen the healthy ones. Mistletoe is to boost my immune ...

Hi There.  It’s been awhile. I pray this finds you and yours very well.  We are home from our more-than-wonderful motorcycle trek in Canada. We spent 5 precious days in Colorado with the kids and granddaughters before flying to Vancouver, renting the most beautiful and powerful motorcycle, and then making our way around a nearly 2000 mile jaw dropping loop. My hubby led a tour of a similar trip last year and put so much love and care into choosing just the right cabins and lakes and hotels for us. It was just perfect. Today is actually our 30 th wedding anniversary, which was the driver of such an elaborate and special trip. To have found My Drew and to have spent 30 years loving and learning with him is a God given miracle in my life, to say the least. In short, I have started IVs of Salicinium and Mistletoe (for the immune system). This is a 3-5 week protocol with several hours a day 5 days a week. It is incredibly expensive but we hope it's the answer. I will ...
