December 2017 News: 4 tests and a surgery (lumpectomy)
December 17, 2017Happy Pride 2018: Bev’s Trip to Cancer Center for Healing, Irvine CA
June 20, 2018Hello good readers! Happy Month of Love!
In case you hadn’t heard, the January fundraiser went over very well! My friends Mary, Jan, and Tehilla raised 3000$ for me and I can continue my treatments!
My lovely friend and web wizard, Mary Brown, created the video above as a way to share the event with those who couldn’t be there in person, and of course to say THANKS AGAIN to all who made it possible. It was a relaxing, cheerful, and healing evening in more ways than one.
Quick health news summary: All is rolling along very well with my current regimen: doing 4 months of nontoxic chemos, and continuing all the immune boosting strategies I began in the autumn. And I’m learning more all the time.
Late January through all of February 2018: I’m doing a 6 week online integrative nutrition course, a lot of which is geared toward cancer patients. Its super informative. And the instructor, Liliana Partida, nutritionist at the Cancer Center for Healing, also has a YouTube channel where she shares live demos of her recipes. She stresses the importance of no sugar, green and colorful carbs, vegetarian and vegan options, and if you’re a meat eater, grass-fed, organic, humanely sourced animal products. I’m mostly vegan these days, but her recipes have helped me cook with more variety.
Next on my health docket for Spring 2018: make 2 medical trips to the California clinic near my brother’s family’s house during March and April. I’m having an SOT injection (total cost 3200$) which uses the mRNA in my blood to stealthily find and induce cell death in my circulating cancer stem cells. One injection works for up to 4 months! Good news on top of good news!
Thanks for reading, lovely people. May you and yours be happy, serene, and healthy through the remaining winter months ❄☃❄⛄.
Fierce love,
Bev
