Still Alive!!!!!! Vegetables haven’t killed me yet, lol!
Nutrition + lots of other stuff is helping me take back control of my life here in Hawaii. Late update finally!
Days 7-11 update: last few days have been a lot of planning my return to the real world and making sure I am ready. Ordered my Juicer, shipping supplies, working on finding some help, etc……
During my time here I have rested, rested and rested a lot!!!!!!!!! I also drink a lot of juice, seems like they never stop bringing me juice (they make it, my mom brings it to me and harasses me until it’s gone, lol).
There have been ups and downs with energy, had to make adjustments for my stomach, one pain episode (my fault though, pushed on hips pretty hard) but fixed with assistance from Dr. Baylac by surprising methods (not pain meds)!!
In addition have noticed a huge improvement in everyday pain, actually almost gone, REGAINED A FOOT (lol), REGAINED MOVEMENT & flexibility in my right leg, which has been very exciting since before coming here all of my right toes where numb, could barely move it and no way I could reach my toes. (Fyi this numbness I believe was from the tumor, I had neuropathy in both feet and fingers a lot my first year on chemo but after one of the drugs was removed it went away).
I haven’t gone into detail yet but this is a very rigorous program consisting of a strict diet (Gerson Therapy), lots of supplements, IV C, injections, and much more. It has been a lot of learning and retraining me to start putting myself and my health first over everything else. It’s very scary yet exciting to think about the my future for the first time in a long time!!!!!
Can’t wait to get home and start working on everything to continue getting better when I return!!
