Guest guest Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Hello and List, I greatly appreciate your encouragement. There have so been so many on the list who have wished me well, I wish that I had an opportunity to thank everyone personally. I am fortunate to have been a member of this group long before I was ever personally diagnosed, I have worked with cancer all my life (both family and then professionally), so unlike so many others I was in the fortunate position to experience zero panic. My life did not pass before my eyes, I made out no will. There was a feeling of great annoyance that my HMO turned up its corporate nose at my earlier powerful evidence of cancer, until it could no longer be denied. Even now they recommend radiation but deny me the conformal type that their own radiologist recommended as, to quote them, " What if everyone wanted this? I weigh all options for myself the same way I instruct clients -- that is, relatively devoid of emotions or blind biases. Radiation and certain chemo therapies are attractive to the extent that a positive outcome seems to be very high with rectal SCC. I did want the option of doing the IGRT conformal radiation, but I certainly would not commit until I finished exploring what was available in other parts of the world or what I could make in my own laboratory or in the immunology laboratories of our board members. The fact that my cancer is metastatic and painful has put a little fire under my usual deliberative decision making process. Fortunately I learned very quickly that the only things that my HMO oncologists could offer were apologies and narcotics. Actually the apologies are more like condolences. They remain quiet when I matter-of-factly confront them with the magnitude of their ineptness. It has to be fear of litigation. I will be going to China for three weeks beginning this Monday, November 16th. I will probably do some photodynamic therapy (PDT) and neutron beam therapy. I bought an IPod to learn Mandarin while sitting in the dark for the PDT. My program in Del Mar, CA will be closed during this time but will resume the week of December 8th. Anyone inconvenienced by this can call my administrator Shirley at 858-523-9144 as I was told I should not even look at a computer screen while doing the PDT. There are any number of synergists and immune therapies that I am using and will use once I return. I will be bringing a few meds back from China that are not available in the US. I plan to be very transparent about everything that I do as I would like everyone on the list to get well with me.
