As of right now Mitt has decided not to do chemotherapy. We are proceeding with Gerson Therapy. I have contacted both of the Gerson centers in Hawaii and the Arizona and he does not qualify for treatment due to the extensive spread of his disease. Their treatment includes the use of niacin which dilates blood vessels and this could be dangerous for him. He will be on a revised home version of the diet which includes only organic fruits and vegetables.
We are applying for the Gerson Therapy in home non-medical coaching program. They have requested blood work and Mike's oncologist quickly ordered the blood tests. As soon as Mike is able we will be going to Kaiser for these tests.
Blood test results are all that is needed for the paperwork to be complete and we will be contacted by Gerson Institute in 2-5 days. Until then I will do my best to follow the books and online information.
He had a very painful night last night; he had severe pain on his right side and right shoulder. The onlcologist said the cancer could be growing on his liver and reaching the nerve. We used morphine, norco and ice to get him through. Please pray for him.
I am also in the process of having all of his records sent to a Loma Linda oncologist for another opinion and possibly other treatment recommendations.
Thank you to all of you who brought us food. We would like to ask at this time there are no more food deliveries as we will both be doing this diet.
I am doing well and trying to stay strong for him. My lowest points are when he's in pain. It is so very hard to watch and be helpless to stop it. Last night I had a dream Mother Mary was praying for Mike; this has brought me great comfort today. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers, God Bless you all.
