Hello! And once again thank you for contributing to my cause and for sharing it. It all helps!
I am still on the integrative approach with both conventional (hormonal and targeted oral) medication, integrated with the added resources such as many specific supplements, IVs, mitachondrial therapy, energy/frequency medicine and other holistic therapies. I feel the conventional medicine starting to take its toll a bit, as my immune system is noticeably weakened, tiredness, low moods, heart palpatations and my sleep is affected. This does not please me one little bit but I feel my back is against the wall at this point.
I miss not being able to go for my runs anymore; since the tumour broke through the skin back in September this has been very difficult and movement is very painful to the breast. The exercise I was doing previously really helped with detoxification and oxigination which is paramount to healing the body. It also means some glucose in the body will initially go to the used muscle groups and not to feeding the cancer cells, thus slowing the growth.
The diagnosis of the main tumour is that it’s inoperable and the main purpose of the oral treatment is to shrink the masses, so as to hopefully be able to remove much of it at a later date. The treatment itself is not curative states the oncologist. Same goes for the enlarged lymph nodes in the armpit as they are currently too attached to bloodvessels, therefore inoperable, for now. A few lymph nodes under the left collarbone are also slightly enlarged, however I think the lymphatic system is doing its job well by draining excess toxins from the area and would expect this swelling to occur.
There are masses throughout the left breast but the main tumour is still tennis ball sized (9x10cm) with a third above skin level. This means it's constantly weeping and often bleeding. I have to change the dressing twice a day due to it getting so wet. Daily discomfort and pain has become the norm.
The latest PET/CT scan, and the encouraging news, is that in the three years plus that the cancer has been there, it has remained local to the breast and some surrounding lymph nodes; it has not travelled to organs or bones, and I am convinced all the holistic treatments are to thank for that. Therefore, I am super grateful for any and all of your support with the crowdfunder, so I can maintain this extra boost for my immune system, body and overall wellbeing.
The hardest part is simply waking up and facing it day after day. Physically and mentally. I have a busy schedule with many hospital and clinic appointments to attend on a very regular basis. It’s like a full time job!
I am grateful to have my boys to keep my busy and distracted. It's all about carrying on as normal as possible. At least trying to… Not just for me, for them as well. They are my everything.
That’s it for me, for now. Please keep sharing my crowdfunder for me, it really helps. https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/joses-journey?utm_term=Dp2yKrKkW Thank you.
Until next time, much love,
