Quick Update

10/13/2014

I spoke with my urologist's nurse after my appointment with that Moffitt cancer doctor last week.  She was surprised at how my appointment had gone with him because she said he is normally much more responsive to patients, so that was good to hear.  He must have just been having a very busy day and wasn't on his A game.  She was also very encouraging about what I'm doing and told me her mom had beat cancer naturally as well, with no chemo!  She went ahead and scheduled me for my next urine sample so they can perform another cytology test on it for this Thursday, so I'm very glad for that!    Please be praying for another negative report!  

This past Friday was my Dad's birthday, so I went down to Port Charlotte to visit him.  I spent 11 hours in the kitchen on Thursday so that I could have everything I needed to go visit him, spend the night, and stay until after lunch on Saturday, plus I deep cleaned my juicer parts to help it hold up under all this juicing, and I helped Nicole fix dinner since it was her night to make dinner and I just hadn't been in the kitchen enough!  :-)  I just kept saying to myself, "tomorrow you can rest!".  And rest I did!  My Dad and I basically  just sat on the couch and talked the whole time!  I was supposed to take him out for lunch, but he just wanted take out pizza, so we stopped by a health food store a couple blocks from the Pizza Hut and I got a veggie wrap, and then we picked up his pizza, and came back home to the couch!  :-)  My eyelids grew heavy a few times, so I took a couple of short naps - what a luxury!  I told him it felt like MY birthday!!  It was SO easy to stay on my diet schedule - it was awesome! Normally I'm behind, like today I wound up being 3 1/2 hours behind so I had to cut out a couple things (1 juice and 1 D flax B dose) in order to get the rest of everything in.  I  just get too busy and can't do it all - but sitting on the couch was AWESOME!  :-) And we just had a great time talking about EVERYTHING!  It was really nice.

I drove home Saturday afternoon, walked in the door and immediately started juicing again.  I've been juicing a 25 pound bag of carrots  (along with spinach and kale and celery and beets) 
every other day for the most part, so today I juiced a bag and a half (thanks to help from Nicole and Nathan and especially Tim!!).  I'm thinking that I shouldn't have to juice again until Thursday!!  I won't know what to do with myself!  :-)  Hope everyone is having a great week so far!  Blessings!

Hi Jodie,

You are certainly trying VERY hard to avoid chemo and we applaud your efforts. Have you heard about curcumin which has been called a "potent anti-cancer herb"? "Dr. William LaValley is one of the leading natural medicine cancer physicians. He has spent a considerable amount of time immersing himself in the science of curcumin, which has the most evidence-based literature supporting its use against cancer of any other nutrient." I suggest you check him out and read all about his research as well as discuss it with your doctor. There is also a woman named Kris Carr who has been living with stage 4 liver and lung cancer for 15 years or so. She refused to do the chemo and went the natural route. She has written a few books using the phrase "crazy sexy", I have not heard anything about her for quite a while, but you could check out her website---crazysexylife.com.

We love you and are praying for you. Hugs, Diane

Thank you so much! I actually am taking curcumin twice a day - I haven't been sure why - just following the protocol I was given at the lifestyle center. They explained it then, but I was given so much information I had forgotten the why on the curcumin so your comment is very affirming! I will check out Dr. LaValley. I had heard of Kris Carr and have been meaning to check her out, so thank you for that encouragement as well! Hugs right back at you!
