WESTOVER AIR RESERVE BASE, Mass. -- “We made a decision on treatment and the first treatments started on March 14.
After much thought, prayer, and the fact that my cancer was more advanced than initially thought, we decided that the best course of treatment was going to be a combination of traditional medicine and alternative. On March 14th, I began a 3-week cycle of chemotherapy. This treatment plan is called Extreme Regime in the medical community. Everty fourth week, the cycle starts all over for a total of nine weeks. After that we will take a CT scan to see if it is having any impact on the tumors throughout my body.
These tumors are painless except for the tumor in my right lung. This tumor is why my breathing was [difficult] in preparation for the fit to fight test. We only found the cancer because of the colonoscopy test my doctor recommended when I turned 50.
The alternative aspect comes in with the additional liver, kidney and immune boosters that we will be starting. We have also made sure that I will receive additional hydration each week to help flush my kidneys and liver, and to stay hydrated. We are continuing with the clean eating, making sure that we are avoiding all processed and high sugar foods. We are also layering in some additional alternative therapies during the weeks. Our hope is that the combination of all these treatments will give me the biggest and best chance for remission. We know that ultimate and total healing will only come from a miracle, but getting the cancer into remission would be a HUGE win for us as well.
