update on SCC treatment

[Guest guest]

Today I saw the radiologist who is handling my fractionated

radiation. He was very impressed that there were no skin burns and

the cancer has shrunk so rapidly. He saw small marks on my groin and

asked me what they were. I told him I make my own vaccine. He

quickly changed the subject. He asked about other radiation side

effects. I have none except for pain when stretching tissues at

stool. He was very impressed that there were no problems as he has

not seen this before. I told him I do a few things on my own. He

immediately said he didn't want to know about it. Radiation will

continue for about two more weeks.

I then had to see the chemo-oncologist as I start an new round of 96

hours on the chemo pump. I told him that I look forward to it as I

have sorted out all the side effects and have none beyond enervation

-- I can't run up stairs when on chemo. My bloodwork is great and

I'm regaining weight. This is really good as the chemo was really

stomping me down until I gained the upper hand with my supplements

which I've listed earlier. The oncologist did not want to know what

I was taking. This seems so odd. I am convinced that they truly

want their patients to do well, but they just can't make themselves

do anything beyond what they are told.

I will be through with all the conventional things by the end of

February. I asked him what he was proposing afterwards. He said

we'll get a surgical consult. What for? Well, we need to do the

exenteration, he said. I told him that we will not be going

there. I said that off the top of my head I could think of a dozen

other things to do -- everything from monoclonal antibodies to some

of my own strategies. He just said that they always follow the chemo

and radiation with surgery. The only way I would agree to surgery is

if the lesion becomes necrotic and ulcerous. He addressed this

concern by saying that they have little control over such

things. These guys are so entrained.

All my decisions so far have been slowly formed and very well

considered. There has been no second guessing and no regrets. The

die-off from the radiation will continue for another 4-6 weeks, so

during this time I'll only do those strategies that would synergize

with the radiation. I might make an oxidized inositol solution

something like cancell/cantron/protocell. I will probably start this

week on SOD with manganese. I will consider using NAC to block

neutrophil hyperactivation, to help restore T-cell receptor zeta

chain function and also restore IFN-gamma production in T-cells, but

this might be postponed if I do the oxidized inositol strategy. Oral

NAC is also an angiogenesis inhibitor.

I'll use a variety of PARP inhibitors: these will probably include

niacinamide, curcumin, and dithiodinicotinic acid. There are new

ones (phenanthridine-derived) that look especially attractive. These

prevent chemo and radiation damaged cells from repairing themselves.

These oncologists think that I'm a very lucky man, and again they are

wrong. Luck has nothing to do with it.

In eight hours I will start the chemo. I'll pick up some dark

chocolate bars on the way. Not only does it have sugar to enhance

chemo uptake but it has theobromine -- the xanthines are active

against squamous cell cancer.
