My Cancer Treatment Story/was Re: HEARTBURN

[Guest guest]

Nili:

I did take Prevacid off and on for about 4 yrs. - that worked at first for me,

then quit working. 

It's odd - but after my dx the lst week in Dec.08, I started juicing - and had

no more heartburn!  Have not had Prevacid or Tums since that time.  Started BP

at end of January - did add some baking soda in hot water to help with the

heartburn/gas I got from that.  Then, later, my doc said to use the Activia.  At

this point, I have just cut back on the amount I was doing (the full 6Tb. oil)

and am still using the Activia.  It's not as bad now.  Maybe that amount was

just too much for my system.,,,

 

My story......had cancer before, a stage 3 uterine/cervix.  Had surg., then went

with God and vitamins.  Did not change diet.  Just 'forgot' I had cancer and

lived my life.  That was 30 years ago.  This time.....I have a spot in one lung

and mets in center chest.  Did PET scan, got told I was not a candidate for

surg. or radiation.  Pallative chemo offered, but I was not a good candidate for

that either (as I have an almost zero tolerance for any meds).....but I had

already stated that I would take the time I had left and would not do any

chemo.  Of course, then they basically write you off - but I figured they had

written me off anyways......and I have always said if my cancer came back, I

would do no chemo.

Did juicing and one regular meal a day for first two months.  Felt good.  Went

back to my regular doctor who started monitoring me monthly - did bloodwork and

physical exams.  My immune system was strong and fighting back, so I continued. 

Did BP for next 4.5 months, doc still doing bl.work every month.  My immune

system dropped slightly and I was losing a bit of weight.  did a CT - spot had

grown a little and a new node involved.  Doc felt what I was doing was too

restrictive and not working that well on my system. However - my bl.work still

excellent, glands still clear, no coughing, lungs clear of conjestion etc. and

no new symptoms.....

 But since then, I added back a normal meal and some vitamins.- still doing some

juicing, the FOCC, the sunshine, relaxation, etc.  I gained back all the weight

I lost, my immune system is excellent, lungs still clear, no new symptoms, no

coughing - still feeling pretty good.....considering.  Last month's bl.work was

really excellent - doc said she could not believe I have LC - if it were not for

that PET scan, she just would not believe it..  The only thing that says I have

cancer is that CT and PET........

 

I think one has to do what 'feels right' for them.  this is what feels right for

me.  I am not doing any scans - don't want the stress.  Whatever is going

on.....is going on.  Life will be what life will be.  I am living my normal life

as best I can.  At this point, I know for me I am much further ahead than if I

had given in and tried the pallative chemo.  I honestly believe if I had done

that - I would not be here now.  All I can do is live my life, do what I can,

pray for the best.....

 

......I can't believe it has already been one year since my life flipped upside

down - again......

 

Best wishes to you

..... you said you were diagnosed in Dec.08 so you are almost at the one year

mark doing the BP, raw veggies, etc. I am curious to know if your cancer has

receded? remission? what has happened? I do not know yet how the BP is

influencing my husband's tumor. He does not have any mets at this time.

Interested in hearing your story.
