I’ve been fighting fear every day for the past few weeks. I guess I fight it every day but it’s been harder to ignore recently. I don’t know if it has something to do with my cousin or just the CT scan date closing in on me, but I’ve been nervous and scared. Cancer isn’t easy. … Continue reading The Mind Leads the Body
I really don’t know how to start this one. Easter Sunday. It was my one year cancerversary yesterday. It was the a day that changed my life. I will never forget the phone call or the emotions I felt that day. I still feel it like it was yesterday, even though this year has really felt … Continue reading North Park
I spent most of today sleeping. As I write this, I’m mad at myself for doing that. I feel I can’t afford to sleep. But I just couldn’t fight it. Heather must have known I needed it too, as she usually wouldn’t allow it. But I should have been outside or working or doing something … Continue reading Deepening Our Spiritual Connection
I’m exhausted. I’ve been feeling pretty run down emotionally and mentally the last few weeks. Don’t get me wrong, I’m feeling for the most part good physically, I’ve just been a wreck in my head. I even tried to write a blog a few weeks ago, but my heart wasn’t in it. I write when I … Continue reading Just Keep Swimming
I couldn’t breathe. It happened faster than I could really comprehend. A few seconds after I couldn’t breathe, my low back started spasming violently. The first thing I thought to do was stand up. I was on my knees on the floor seconds later. The second thing I thought to do was pull my IV … Continue reading Radical Remission
CTCA has been such a positive experience this time around. My first appointment was with my Oncologist. I can tell he is a very caring doctor and wants me to beat cancer. After catching up for a bit, he asked if I wanted to add chemo to my regimen. I explained to him again about … Continue reading When A Light Turns On…
I’m heading back to CTCA Zion. I finally received some “good” news that my tumor does not have any genetic mutations, which enables me to get EGFR protein treatment. For whatever reason the Beaumont pathology lab here in Michigan never tested my initial tumor for the KRAS mutation, but the doctors at CTCA Zion requested … Continue reading Back to the Windy City
I’ve been having a great holiday break with my family and haven’t been able to update on my health. Honestly, not too much has changed since Chicago. It’s hard to get into some of these doctor offices that offer the alternative therapies because of scheduling. I’ve been trying to start IV Vitamin C with Mistletoe … Continue reading When Nothing is Sure, Everything is Possible.
I’m coming home early. I’m coming home with a single acupuncture session as the only “treatment” I was able to do. Quite a long distance to travel for acupuncture. I leave behind the possibilities of IV Vitamin C infusions, Hyperthermia, Immune Targeted Therapies and other integrative cancer treatments that have success treating a cancer patient … Continue reading My CTCA Experience
I am a few days out from my trip to CTCA Zion and I’ve been asked by the doctors there to put together my daily routine. I’ve never really written it down because I really don’t do everything at the same time every day (even though I should). Getting back into the work world a … Continue reading My (Ever-Evolving) Daily Routine
