Now it is back to the grind, the assassination, the kicking of some cancer booty, time to roll up the sleeves and put my game face back on.
From the last CT scan back May, it appeared that I had some cancer going rogue and building condos outside of Livertown, collectively they appeared to be about the size of an almond (we thought there were only two of them at this point). Then my radiologist recommended that I get a PET scan to make sure of exactly what we were looking at and that way I could make a more informed decision about my choice of therapy.
So I recently got results back from the PET scan and the first sentence says "Significant progression of disease since July 2012..." Not good. My oncologist shows me the pictures and there are now a bunch (too many to count) of places outside of my liver mostly in nearby lymphs (one in a lung and one in my pelvis) where there showed PET avid activity (it took up the sugar rich contrast like cancer does) so this now leaves me feeling once again a bit more anxious about my path forward.
I have spoken at length with my oncologist and natural doctor and we have come up with a kick ass cancer assassinating plan!
Vitamin C Love |
I am already taking such things as DCA and many other natural cancer fighting treatments and supplements and I will continue to get high dose vitamin C IV therapy. I am going to sandwich my chemo treatments right in between two vitamin C IV's. So still vitamin C three times a week and chemo at least once a week (maybe more frequent to start I dunno yet).
I start round two of chemotherapy tomorrow at 9:30am. The chemo will be the same as last time. Mega dose to start with then as my body weakens the dose weakens. They like to hit it hard at first. My gramma is coming down to go with me, ya know, cause grandmothers are awesome like that! The vitamin C is supposed to make the cancer more susceptible to chemotherapy and it is said to make the side effects up to 50% less severe! HELLS YES!! This is what I am going to manifest!
Not exactly what I was envisioning, especially after such a tumultuous start to the year anyway, but hey...never a dull moment in the life of The Cancer Assassin!
Bring it on! I've done it once I can do it again, hell, I'm a pro and I am already ahead of the game now.
My goal right now is just to appreciate each and every single day, drink it all in and share the love!
Go for it, and best of luck and NO side effects!

ReplyDeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteYou go girl. Your strength is inspiring. Don't squander it on anything that doesn't bring you closer to health. Thinking big thoughts for you.
I thoroughly enjoy reading your blog. I am 21 and my dad was diagnosed with bile duct cancer and PSC (primary sclerosing cholangitis) in March of 2011. Just yesterday his biopsies came back cancer free with no abnormal cells. YOU CAN DO IT! Eating healthy is the biggest factor, vitamins can do wonders. Keep fighting!
