I haven't updated in a while. After a few years of being on chemotherapy, things has gone from bad to worse. I fear I am in the throes of liver failure. I have had CT Scan last month which says stable, but my body says otherwise.
It was 2 weeks ago when I started to notice my abdomen is getting bigger, I have been in pain and 3 days in bed, couldn’t take/eat anything. It started to worry me and I called my Oncologist to find out what is going, he ordered an ultrasound to see if I have fluid build up (ascites) and turned out ok, but scan says my liver is enlarged, due to severe tumor in my liver. I just thought how big can it go? I feel like I am 5 months pregnant.
On friday went to my Naturopath Dr, I had high dose vitamin c infusion and had me on amino acids to help me feel better, which I did that day. I always get relief after seeing him. We talked about the new treatment in Medicor Cancer Center and how much it can save my life. Unfortunately this is a very expensive treatment, but the good news is the treatment/chemo is “side effect free” chemo. This consists of high dose chemo given with a special protective drug that protects the body against the chemo side effects, and allows the immune system to function and complement the actions of the chemo, rather than become damaged by it. There is a much higher potential for remission than conventional chemotherapy ~ 90% response rate for advanced cases such as breast cancer. Based on the clinical studies, here is a high chance of complete remission, including long-term remission lasting for years.
This treatment requires me to fly to Medicor Cancer Center in Toronto for infusions 3 days in a row every 2 weeks. Cost is approx. $4000 per treatment (per 2 weeks), it typically requires 8-10 treatments for best response. This is not covered by healthcare/insurance, making it a costly endeavor.The new targeted treatments, flights and hospital stay will cost me about $40-50,000.00.
Arnel and I can’t afford to fund it by ourselves so we are hoping for help from anyone who feels led to help. I am looking forward to this treatment and still hoping that this is not the end stage for me just yet.
