11-30-09 The blog starts on Date October 20, 2009
The new me; I now live one day at a time, in the present, I give the control to God, and his purpose directs me which takes off the mental stress. Life is a whole lot easier when I align my plans with His purpose, and so it is.
I have learned that Whole Body Healing is being healthy physically, mentally and spiritually. I used to rely on my physical health as my primary baseline, and spiritual as a strong second. " I was always trying to be in control not living with Gods purpose as a priority". Well that’s all changed, I no longer have my health which was my primary focus , now it's my spiritual strength that I rely on. Having spiritual life as a primary focus is amazing. To start with all my worries are now in God's hands which means that it will all work out one way or another. My health will come back in time. The new me, Chill out mentally, I have always multitasked, my mind never rests, I'm always working on something. My health problems were a combination of health and mental factors. With spiritual strength I can manage the mental health which gives me Hope.
I feel great, but as my immune system changes the toxins are working their way out of my body with side effects like Shingles, Hives, and Sinus infection. My prayer request is to have the itching stop. I will survive. My current Health focus is on Alternative medicine options that eliminate cancer cells without destroying the immune system( good white blood cells). I have identified some options I have yet to try. Sodium bicarbonate shots that increases the alkaline in the blood; cancer cells cannot live in an alkaline body (Too expensive for now). I'm trying to eat an alkaline diet to slow down the cell growth. You want to stay well, eat alkaline foods and keep your ph balanced at 7.35. Thanksgiving didn't help with all the acidic foods, they sure did taste good and now I'm paying the price with my health! Ozone shots oxygenate the blood which kills off cancer cells, the problem is the cost of getting enough shots until the immune system can pick up where the shots stop.
My prayer request- God if it's your will please remove the cancer cells from my body, stop the itching on my legs, and remove the sinus infection. I have no doubt that somehow I will survive. The question is will it be by an alternative method or conventional wisdom. I have an appointment 11-03-09 at 9a.m. to 11a.m. to remove toxins with radio wave frequencies and a machine called a Rife machine. I'll let you know how it goes. My Oncologist says as long as it doesn't impend our process then it's ok with them. I think the idea of destroying cancer cells without destroying the good WBC's is the best approach. I hope it works. Thank you all for your prayers. End.

November 17, 2009- Tuesday My Liver is back!
Thank you God for answering all the prayers. My whole day was made when the RN from the Doctors office called and said that my liver was no longer elevated, and returned to the middle of the normal range. The problem with cancer and the liver, is the die off rate from the chemo and the speed in which the liver can filter out the dead cells ( good and bad cells).
Note: My body is responding very well to the chemo treatment. The chemo is killing everything in sight which is bad, but I 'm doing a lot of things right and God is blessing me with health. There are 3 measures as to how cancer goes away, (decrease abnormal cells and / or increase the immune system), including;
#1. The Liver ( AST) 0-40 normal range. On 11-10-09 I was at 103, today 27 YAA!
#2. CBC for size, numbers, and maturity of cells. WBC's ( white blood cells that fight infection) normal range 4.5-10.5 ,on 11-10-09 my WBC's were at 3.0 which is too low to fight off bad WBc's, they gave me a shot (6 ml of Neulastra). Today my WBC's at a normal level YAA!
#3. LDH- is a general indicator of the existence of the severity of Cell tissue damage. 11-10-09 normal range 100-250, I'm at 251 which means high damage. However, the infection is being destroyed so that's the good. The goal is to get the indicators in normal range and keep them there. Pray for minimal cell damage.
Prayer request: Lord please help my internal organs avoid damage, the liver, the spleen, the kidneys, the heart, the lungs, the thyroid, the lymphoid, and help lower my LDH to a perfect level, give me an appetite and the strength to keep eating.
I'm feeling a little tired of the battle, God will you hold my torch for awhile as I need the strength only you can give me. I know my road is long, keep me in your presence Lord. Thank you God for answering these prayers, we love you.
I am currently reading 3 books and they all have a common theme, focus on Positive Mental Imaging. Visualize the infection going away. Meditate daily on what it will feel like after the cancer is gone. Whole body healing, mind, body, and soul. My soul is good, I have a great relationship with God, Jesus, and the Holy spirit, but my Mind needs help.
Stress, being to wound up, not living in the present, but always multi tasking about future events. I am now going back to the simple things and clearing my mind for positive mental healing. Emotional anticipation (Hope) for the new life I am now living. I think stress played a role in getting sick. I need to change my life currently, and going forward to get well . A complete life style change.
Note: I have been complaining about my stomach being sore; it was my liver. I didn't know the liver is at the top of the stomach just below the ribs on both sides. It makes sense that my liver would be in pain with all the chemo drugs and dead cells that are being filtered out of my blood. Thank you all for the prayers, and know that you are also blessed for blessing others.

November 10, 2009- Answered Prayer. Count it all joy. Well, here I sit in the Oncologists clinic, getting my 2nd round of chemo (9am-5pm). I am doing well, no headaches just a low grade Brain fog, numb feeling! After 7 1/2 hours of chemo for the day, the power of prayer is definitely working, I feel great all things considering.
I had an allergic reaction to the Rituxan earlier (my ears were itching like crazy); this was solved with 50 mg of Benadryl.
So I’m sitting here reviewing the Doctors notes to update the blog, when I realized I weighed in this morning at exactly 163lbs! It made me so happy to have a positive affirmation from God. Do you remember my prayer request last week asking everyone to pray for my weight to be 163lbs before this round of treatment? Well here we are, and thanks to your prayers God answered our prayer request! Let all your requests be known to God, phil 4:4-6. Thank you for the blessing of prayer. God is great, and his love is never ending. Gaining this weight is huge; Chemo can take a lot of weight off in a very short period of time. If there’s any doubt that God answers prayers, here is your proof. By the way, with the volume I’ve been eating I could have easily weighed twice that.
Did you know that jumping on the trampoline stimulates your Lymph nodes , it’s true, and what does that have to do with Cancer you ask? The B cells in the lymph nodes remove the dead WBC’s (white blood cells, infection) from your body! Jumping in general will stimulate the lymph nodes to help process quicker. Now why doesn’t the Doctor tell you that? I don’t know, however she confirmed it, and went on to say she jumps on her kids Tramp all the time, go figure, thanks Doc.
This is great news; eliminating the cells quicker will help the body remove the byproduct quicker, before it becomes a problem for the Liver and kidneys. Jumping stimulates the lymph nodes which were designed for removing dead WBC’s from your system. Sick or well, there’s something we can all use. Another something else to note, supplemental eating or drinking of antioxidants during chemo is a no, no. Controversial because Doctors and Nutritionals can’t say if they really interfere with the Chemo. Antioxidents protect the good WBC’s to keep the free radicals from spreading.
Prayer requests- My spleen is still enlarged and sometimes hurts when I move around. Lord please heal my spleen and the cause that surrounds it. Thank you Lord for answering our prayers !

November 1, 2009- Your prayers are being answered, I have wellness ,at least for now.
Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose."
The delay in updating this blog is due to my wellness, YAA! I have been skiing in the back country, walking on the golf course at night, and doing my pushups. I need to start lifting more weights. The goal is to gain weight for wellness ( because I’m too skinny ), and the next round of chemo starts on Tuesday 11-10-09 which is going to take more weight off me, and I don’t have it to lose.
The goals for prayer are to gain 5 lbs in the next weeks ahead. Thank you God for all the people praying , I know that you hear our prayers, I definitely feel the power of all those prayers. I have gained 4 pounds the last week and a half, thanks to prayer, and those of you that brought food, thanks.
My body fat is measuring at 1.2% currently which is in the danger zone. It should be at least 5% or 6% minimum. My weight went from 173 to 154 and is at 158 currently. The final goal is 180 and the current goal is 163. A lot of you have offered to give me some of yours, sorry I couldn’t help as I would gladly take it.
The chemo is working! The bad white blood cells that started out very high are currently very low. Low is good. The goal is to get the good white blood cells to reproduce and eliminate the bad WBC’s. The good WBC are the body’s way of fighting infection. The Doctors have me back on antibiotics because I have little to no immune system. I’m back to where I started only now the infection is much lower.
I have been trying to minimize bad cell growth with a good diet of antioxidents which remove free radicals (cancer), and alkaline foods to balance the PH (large intestine/ immune system). Something interesting to note is that once bad cancer cells (WBC) start reproducing more bad cells, the DNA in the cell changes, and unless you completely remove them with a Bone marrow transplant, you live with the cancer and hope it stays in remission.
My prayer request and the reason I give all this to you is that I hope and pray for a miracle from God that my bad cancer WBC’s would go to zero without a transplant and my good WBC’s would regenerate my immune system back to a normal state.
10-28-09- This email is to let you know “I have decided I don’t have cancer anymore, I’m going back to work, cancer is too expensive! Being sick takes too much time and I don’t know how anyone affords it. Being sick is for the rich. I figure with the good insurance I will still spend $10,000 in the next 6 months.
The main reason is that holistic nutrition is not covered. We've had to take a hard look at our own personal insurance needs and thank God we have already purchased enough life insurance. (At this point I'm not insurable). Now is a good time to review your own insurance needs, because you just never know what God has in store. I'd love the opportunity to sit down and review your insurance needs over the phone or in person. 303-321-0039.
Food, the amount of food I have to consume in one day is ridiculous , 5 meals. I am burning 2,200 calories just sitting around. Do you know how much food it takes to just sit around? A lot, I should get a job in a kitchen as a cook, and what’s with all the gas? Enough already! The problem with chemistry is that the body is fighting a war. The antibiotics remove all the Probiotics, flora, and acidophilus which keeps my stomach turning over and over.
The lower intestine is constantly turning over ; quiet down there. What’s with the gas? Maybe it’s from the juicing. Now I know juicing is great for vitamins and nutrients but talk about a quick way to go through a bag of groceries from whole foods. I love you all, thanks for being with me for the ride. I hope to be cancer free in May . My new motto is "I've decided I don’t have cancer anymore - it's too expensive" !
