Re: Cancer and SCD - UPDATE

[Guest guest]

Hi again

A short update on my cancer story so far: I had one breast removed and will

start chemo on Friday. Then radiation and hormone suppresants. So there's a long

way home, but it made it a lot easier to cope, when I got some great news after

the operation: They removed one of my breasts completely and a lot of the

lympho(?) in the arm pit, but it appeared to be smaller and less aggressive than

first expected and had only spread to one of those lymphos(?)!

So I have much better odds to work with now. I give the full credit for this to

the healer, I have been working with intensely since I was diagnosed. The

hospital doesn't understand what happened and can't explain it - but are, of

course, not willing to hear about healing or anything else. Just think about all

the experiences and good ideas, they are missing out on!

The weird thing is, that the SCD works a lot better again. Until last X-mas I

was slowly but constantly healing and then it went all down hill. I have done

nothing but eliminating from the diet and gone back to intro several times.

Nothing really helped. But since my surgery, where they removed the cancer, my

stomach is healing again. I just had trophies for the first time in 8 months!

Yee-ha! :-) It's like my body was too busy trying to cope with more important

things. Now it can concentrate on my Crohn's.

I'm now a bit nervous of what will happen, when I start chemo on Friday. Apart

from loosing my hair, getting nauseaus etc., it might also effect my Crohn's.

Also it is very hard to convince the doctors here, that I can not have any

medication taken orally. And we can't have things compounded according to Danish

legislation. I will hate to comprimise on that but I will probably have

to.......

Thanks for listening :-)

surgery, kemo, radiation and some nasty hormone suppresant that will put me

through menopause. And that's probably just the beginning. I'm still in kind of

a shock, but I'll have to think rationally in order to get through this on top

of also having an active Crohn and being on SCD (about PB stage 2).

A short update on my cancer

story so far:

Gitte,

Thanks for the update, and I am so glad things are doing better for

you.

Funny thing: I, too, had an improvement in things gut-wise after the

cancer surgery. You're right: the body's too busy fighting the cancer to

worry about anything else.

I suspect what was removed may have been lymph nodes, in addition to the

breast.

Hi Gitte, Thank you for the update – I was wondering how

you were doing. It sounds like good news although I am sure it must be hell to

go through. Perhaps once the cancer treatment is finished, your gut can finally

heal! I hope so. Hang in there and please keep us updated as to your progress.

We are all rooting for you!
