What's going on? Well we're still fighting! But it's like being in the first 10 seconds of the first round of a 15 round title bout. Time wise we've just started but there is a LONG way to go.
Last week Becky had blood work done at our local (unnamed) D.O. and those came back looking very good. She forgot to ask to have cholesterol checked so those numbers are an unknown. The other side of that coin is that she's gone just about 100% vegan in her diet that that has likely done a lot towards bringing down the numbers. (She was barely high at 203 to begin with) We can attest to the fact that she is no longer having to take Pepsid to get through the night and hasn't taken any Tums for several weeks either!
This past week (The 13th) she had an appointment with the oncologist at Baylor. The tumor is a bit larger... but we never expected it to just vanish overnight. The Dr. is still recommending Chemo.... but that's her job. To her credit she also acknowledges that it's Becky's decision to make and she is also okay with supporting us in our alternative therapy efforts. That attitude is the only reason we return to her.
We also learned that Becky's cancer is "Estrogen responsive" which means that we have to cut out part of her therapy. Part of what we'd been doing was something called the "Budwig Protocol." The base of the protocol is a mixture of flax oil and cottage cheese. However it turns out that Flax Oil is an estrogen stimulator.... so we've actually been giving the cancer something it needs..... feeding it. So now we have to sort through her entire diet and make sure we eliminate any other estrogen stimulator items.
We are still using the Cesium therapy but we think that Becky's body has reached it's saturation point for the mineral. Even just a little bit more of the substance causes her to be on the verge of throwing up most of the day and seems to drain her of energy. Cut back just a little and she feels much better and has lots of energy. So it has become a delicate balancing act to get her dose rate just right.
She also came across an experimental method which uses liquid vitamin C and B-12 in a ratio of 2:1 which is injected near the tumor. According to the research this method seems to promote the breakup of the tumor. I have not yet read the information so this is 2nd hand stuff.
Based on that information what I wonder is this: What would happen to the cancer IF a small amount of the cesium solution were injected directly into it? In pondering that the downside I can visualize is that there would then be a region of dead cancer cells trapped inside the walls of the tumor..... which might not be a good thing. It would seem that key to making any sort of progress is breaking down the extra thick protein wall that the cancer hides behind. Thus it follows that increasing the amount of free enzymes circulating in the body. To accomplish that it is necessary to take Bromelain, Papain and Protease. All of those enzymes aid in breaking down proteins. We have added extra enzymes to her daily routine.
Otherwise we are attempting to maintain a normal daily routine. Becky continues to work every day that she does not have a Doctors appointment. The bills have started rolling in and they are staggering. Bear in mind that we have NOT had ANY cancer treatments at Baylor. All we've had there is testing and consultations. Yet in slightly less than 2 months the bill is already just over $19,000!! And people still wonder why there has not yet been found a "cure" for cancer? Consider this.... on any given day there are more people employed in "treating" cancer than HAVE cancer! The ratio is nearly 4 to 1. As I said back in the first post.... Treating cancer is BIG business..... curing it is not.
Lastly a new link has been posted to the Blog. Cancer Tutor is a huge vault of information! Between that and the essense of life site it is almost information overload. However.... in this battle you cannot have too much good information.
