Feeling Good

I am doing great and really enjoying the clinic/institute I am going to for several hours three times a week.  The diet plan is still very hard but I am hanging in there with it.  The diet and the supplements are highly nutritious which is the obvious point.  I spoke with two of the people who did therapies on me today.  Both came to the clinic as patients before they worked there.  Neither one had cancer but both had very serious illnesses and gained their health back through the program offered there.  Many people do have cancer and there is much success.  I love the Christian influence.  I am reminded there that forgiveness, service, and devotion to God are a major part of healing.  I have been taught to live in the moment, not the past or the future.  This too will help healing.  Now, if I could just learn to love the seed milk and avocado soup!  I have learned that garlic and avocados have enzymes that block things that contribute to tumor growth.  Rebounding on a mini trampoline is also part of the healing aspect since it is so good for the body in many ways including helping the body create more enzymes to do just what the garlic and avocados do.  I am supposed to work my way up to 20 garlic cloves per day as they consider it "God's Chemo".  Yes, I smell,  and I am only up to 4-5 per day so far.  Again, whatever it takes :):):).

Whatever It Takes

I am stronger every day.  I am taking treatments and supplements from the alternative clinic.  At the clinic they have seen a lot of success.  People come to the clinic from far away sometimes.  I have about a half an hour drive so it was here in my backyard (so to speak) all along.  I feel very blessed.  The idea behind the clinic is that they will help you heal your body so your body can fight the cancer, although it seems to me many of the therapies I am receiving are anti cancer therapies.  I am grateful.  I started their special diet this morning.  Although I know it is very healing it is less fun than even 5 cups of carrot juice daily.  ;) For the next 8 weeks I get "seed milk" made from 5 different kinds of seeds, avocado "soup", and 4 oz of  green juice daily.  Forget insulin, I don't think I will intake a gram of sugar :):):).  I have to say, my first day on this plan has been less than delicious but I will continue to fight the fight.   Whatever it takes:):):).  

Still Twisting and Turning

I am doing very well.  Still gaining strength and stamina.  I walked around the culdesac with the PT today.  I was tired about halfway through and I thought laying down on the couch sounded like a good idea but I made it back home before I laid down :):):).  Twice now the PT has taken me out on my bike and run along beside me since my balance was in question.  I have been able to balance and ride.  It has winded me a little but I have been able to do it!  It's not the 7 miles I'm used to but it is a start!

My time has been filled with DR. appts.  (I know you're sooo jealous!)
I saw an alternative doctor yesterday for the second time and will likely go with one of his year long programs.
 I saw the oncologist today and I think he agreed with my decision to stop the chemo.  I think he knew it is too hard on me.  We were at the oncologist office to get the results of my PET scan that I had on Monday.  The oncologist told me he had good news for me.  Miraculously my PET scan showed NO activity on any tumors!  Usually that only happens with the first round of chemo.  After that the activity is only cut in half by the chemo and then less and less.  My liver tumor was smaller as well.  I know he thinks it was the chemo.  I think it was my natural remedies.   I do think he wants me to prepare myself since he asked if I was ready for Hospice.  Heck no!  I feel good and I am not ready.  I told him I was going to try alternative therapies and still had hope.

I had to abandon my carrot habit.  I am now diabetic and carrots have too much sugar.  I give the carrots credit though for a lot of my well being throughout the last year.  I will start with a whole new diet with the alternative doctor.  There will still be juicing, just not carrots.  Moving forward!
