Ok,
So as you all know I went to a number of Dr's on Tues and we got great news from one and bad news from another. The radiologist (Dr Trooper) who by the way is amazing told us that he was going to do eveything that took to get ride of the tomors that I have on my lung lining. Then we went over to see the Oncologist and he basicaly told us that they do not have a prodical for stage 4 melanoma and that maybe I should think about going on clincal trial. Which means that I would be a human lab rat to see if the drugs that put in me would work and if not oh well. So needless to say we walked out of there feeling really down. Like he slapped a toe tag on me.
I had a scheduled appointment the next day to go get my CT/PET scan. So Matthew and I got up early and had that done. The results from the scan is that the cancer has NOT spread into my lung or into anyother part of my body. It is ONLY in the plural (lining of my lung) this is fantastic news. After the scan we had an appointment with a Naturopathic Specialist (natural). He also works along side Dr. Trooper. Now this was another great visit. This is his suggestion for treatment.
Having a vaccine made out of my own tumor. Then they inject it into your lyph nodes. The vaccine is not done here in the states so we would be trucking outselves down to the Bahamas. WOW what a place to go for treatment HUH.
I would have the surgery there, wait about 10 days for the vaccine to be made and the I would get around 2-6 shots, come home and then 1 month later go back for another shot, and then 1 month after that another.
He also wants to build up my immunity and my streghth before, so i am going on an almost vegan diet. I will be having IV Vitamin C 3 times a week and doing some low impact workouts to build up my boby.
I am going to see another Oncologist tomorrow, but we will see. We just feel that why put poison (chemo) in my body when you can have a vaccine made out of your own body. I think and I feel in my heart that God wants us to try the vaccine. That is were we are being lead to.
So continue to pray and again no pressure, but I do not have any insurace and the bills are starting to add up. Just the vaccine alone will be around $15K.
I love you all and I feel each and everyone of your prayers.
I will post again when I know more. Also Jodi had started a blog and there will pictures and videos of our journey all the way.
