Survival is now a full time job!

Since my last post, it is evident that another tumor, the one on my spine at the base of my skull, has decided to grow by leaps and bounds. That was almost missed with my last CT Scan on September 18. So during October the oncologists at Cross Cancer Institute (CCI) in Edmonton, Alberta have decided to hit that tumor a second time with radiation with 10 daily treatments beginning Monday, November 04 and continuing to November 18.

So on the coming Sunday I will be flying to Edmonton once again for a two-week stint. The tumor growth is evident because of new pains in my head on the left hand side, caused by the tumor disturbing nerves in my skull.

The Pain Management Team will be meeting with me too at CCI on November 05. They now have me on a few drugs that are controlling the pain quite well. The major side effect is being tired and drowsy. I will need an hour nap today, I am sure.

I am continuing my alternative healing, integrated with the CCI radiation and oncology treatments. The keys in this natural healing protocol are primarily:

• Strong belief in my continued recovery (Ref: The Biology of Belief - Bruce Lipton);
• Continuing to reduce sugar and simple carbs from my nutrition, and adding concentrated curcumin as a supplement;
• Taking two elk velvet capsules per day to boost my immune system (not one cold over the past 5 years!)
• Continuing to inject an extract of mistletoe three times a week (Iscador and now Helixor, prescribed treatment for cancer in Germany).

To be continued next week as radiation kicks in. I will have more information about two great cancer recovery sites, so stay tuned!
