Spare Time

Well, This has been a week!

I have had major events to run for six of the seven days. A busy time.

This got me to thinking.........what could I possibly do with the other day?

Thankfully, Dr. Patel, the oncologist, has come up with a solution. I can have chemo. Whew. I was worried about too much spare time.

We met with Dr. Patel last Thursday. The good news is that he was not concerned about my lymph nodes, but he was concerned about the liver. He made it clear that chemo is in order, not the maintenance kind, but rather the full event with Bob for two days every other week. We are looking at 4 sessions, followed by another petscan and then we will go on to maintenance for as long as appropriate and then perhaps other treatments. We start back next Tuesday.

The reality is that I will be doing something about cancer for the rest of my life. I intend to take advantage of the medicare/health system for many years to come.

Meanwhile, we are not giving up on alternate therapies. We have begun the first phase of the Bob Wright protocol. Some wonderful tasting sulphur crystals twice a day. I have experienced many things that have questionable taste, but this may take the cake. The research manager says that if you can't smell it, you can't taste it. I am not sure. I have developed an ability to just chug it down quickly, like I do with some other supplemental things. Just think what I could do if I drank!

This will be followed up in the next day or so with something called liph, which is an alkaline concentrate. Apparently cancer cells do not like alkaline. I have gradually moved my alkaline reading up to 7.5 or better from a starting point of about 6. I will also be continuing to drink alkaline water of 9.5 ph. We'll teach those cancer cells!

I don't drink often, but when I do, I chug sulphur crystals in distilled water. I aim to be the healthiest, if not the most interesting, colon cancer patient in the world.

So, I am looking at more trips to Morton Plant. I am hoping to work out how to minimize the stress on the research manager. She has begun to do more cooking of creative things that are good for me. You should try "Crustless Quiche." I love it. It beats my cheese omelets hands down. Obviously, a woman's place is in the kitchen! :)  Oh and on the computer.

Thanks to the research manager for all she does. And thanks to so many of you that send me encouraging notes. My son reminded me in an email this morning that "Where there's a Gill there's a way!"
