Update pre 5th treatment

Hello everyone,  I think is time for an well overdue update :)

Tomorrow is my 5th treatment, so I passed the 1/3 mark taking in consideration that the full regimen consists of 12 treatments, 6 months total.  We first thought there are only 8 treatments, but now we know that after the 8 treatments there are other 4 more treatments to complete it.

Overall, I am felling well, and have started to crave foods that I did not want to eat in the past 4 months. Thinks like coffee, eggs, sushi.  Still get lack of energy here and there, but not too bad. 

After the 3rd treatment, I felt the worst than the previous treatments and I believe is because right before that treatment I found out about a dear friend of ours Ioana Elise Hocioata, who lost her life in a tragic freak accident while hiking in the Grand Canyon.  I was emotionally affected and drained by the circumstances along with my husband being away from home on a business trip.  

I now truly understand how the psychological well being is important for your overall health of your body, as the Latin proverb goes "Mens sana in corpore sano"( A healthy mind in a healthy body)

I want to honestly tell everyone that even though what I'm going through is hard to imagine from the other side of my viewpoint, it is manageable and no one should feel awkward talking about me, asking about me, directly or indirectly.  What I am going through is a real, and not a secret and I am open to answer any questions anyone has.  Talking about it makes me feel better too and makes me feel in charge of the situation.

I also want to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in the fund raiser at our local church, St. John the Baptist.  We have been blessed and overwhelmed with the support we received, emotional and financial.  We have no words to describe what we feel about this gesture.  I was able to paid off last years biopsies and scans which were covered only partially due to the yearly deductible not being met. 

After my 4th treatment, I am much better.  I have been going weekly to massage therapy and reflexology part of the treatment plan at CTCA.  Even though this is not covered by our insurance, CTCA is offering this as a complementary service and I am extremely thankful for it.

I want to thank my sister in law Tina and my cousin Raluca for spending their days off, sitting at CTCA with me for 5 hours during the infusion sessions....my husband doesn't need any thanks...he says it's part of his marriage contract..the fine print:)

I will post pictures later on this week or maybe next week, as I may have to buzz my hair, as it has been stopping to grow and falling profusely.  This is something normal, my body is just shutting down cell production of fast growing cells, to focus on more important functions in the body.  The hair and nails are fast growing cells that the body recognizes as non-threatening to shut down production.  This is the hardest part for me, as I do not want to look like an alien. (no offense to bald people out there).  However, I do understand and know why it is happening and that it will grow back after I stop the treatment.

Tomorrow...5th treatment...BRING IT !

  1. Mihaela, please stop this madness, you're poisoning yourself. You can heal yourself but not with chemo. Do you really want to get to number 12? By then it would be too late. You're too young!!!! Vezi ca am trimis lui Daniel Martin niste informatii, roaga-l sa iti forward tot ce i-am scris si numarul meu de telefon, te rog frumos suna-ma cand te simti in putere. Mai sunt si alte lucruri care trebuiesc discutate, si hormonii au un rol. Trebuie sa iti cumperi niste carti si sa te apuci de citit. SI mai ales sa fii sub ingrijirea unui medic adevarat, NOT the conventional medicine. Conventional doctors au declansat razboiul contra cancerului din anii '70 si tot ce au facut a fost sa come up with very expensive drugs care nu fac decat sa te omoare. Te rog frumos sa reconsideri. Cancer is BIG business si iti spune asta cineva care lucreaza in drug development pentru una din marile drug companies. Nu-i mai crede. The cure for cancer, the real cure, not just the temporary one, is out there, but you have to find it on your own. Please call me. Adela

  2. Salut Adela,

    Din pacate asigurarea noastra nu acopera "alternative" treatments, dar clinica (Cancer Treatment Center of America) unde este tratata Mihaela are inclus in tratament un nutritionist si un naturopathic doctor. Ne intalnim cu ei la 2 saptamani si suntem multumiti de rezultate.Nu sunt acoperiti de asigurare, dar sunt inclusi in tratatement, complimentary.

    Intelegem situatia, si nu vreau sa te discreditez, si inteleg complexitatea realitatii impactului economic in gasirea unui tratament 100% cu success, no side effects, short term, etc. Ma gandesc ca nici BMS nu ofera patents si retete pe gratis.

    Intelegem riscul pe care il luam cu medicina moderna, dar in acelasi timp nu suntem naivi. Rezultatele pana acum sunt bune, si faptul ca are un regim nutritiv organic si suplemente naturale cu enzyme si vitamine (regim de la echipa de la clinica), este un lucru extraordinar si rezultatele sunt incredibil de excelente.

    Daca tu cumva stii secretul curei direct, am aprecia sa il stim si sa putem sa il publicam.

    Cu respect
    Sotul Mihaelei,

    Sorin

    1. Sorin,
      Sorry ca nu m-am mai uitat daca a raspuns cineva, am fost foarte busy saptamana trecuta, iti trimit cate ceva sa citesti:
      http://fourfoldhealing.com/2010/06/10/a-holistic-approach-to-cancer/
      http://www.lowdosenaltrexone.org/
      Tratamentele despre care iti povestesc eu nu sunt scumpe. The LDN (low dose naltrexone, FDA approved but ne-patentabil so then no big profit out of it) este dirt cheap si Mihaela needs LDN right now like she needs air to breath, you just have to find someone to prescribe it. Te rog frumos trimite-mi un email pe abuzescu@hotmail.com, scrisesem un mesaj mult mai mare dar nu il pot publica, e prea mare, vreau sa iti trimit numarul meu de telefon si sa iti mai scriu cate ceva. V-am pupat si astept sa ne auzim.
      Adela

    2. Salut,

      Merci mult, am gasit niste informatii despre LDN,dar majoritatea linkurilor sunt traffic generator blogs for advertising, not research data.

      O sa discutam cu doctorul si cu naturopatic doctor as well. Se pare din cate am gasit este mai mult folositor celor cu fibromyalgia si folicular HL, not lymphocyte rich de care are Mihaela.

    4. Sorin,
      Un paste fericit va doresc si multa sanatate!
      Nu stiu daca ai inteles exact ce face LDN-ul: fortifica sistemul imunitar si ultimately is your immune system that conquers the cancer, not LDN. And LDN is involved in both Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, mai citeste pe website. Si as vrea sa mai citesti de cateva ori articolul lui Tim O'Shea till it sinks in. Chemo face ceva ireparabil la sistemul imunitar, poti sa iei tu mama suplementelor si sa mananci cea mai organica mancare, once your immune system is gone, so are you. Matusa sotului meu avea un frate, 50 de ani, un barbat ca bradul, anul trecut a facut un cancer de plamani. S_a dus Mariana la el cu toate suplimentele recomandate de dr. Cowan and some more si le-a luat omul pe toate in conjunctie cu chemo, ca asa a considerat el, daca oncologii zic chemo, facem chemo. A fost ok timp de un an, tumoarea s-a shrink, toti se felicitau si acum vreo luna brusc s-a umplut de cancer peste tot, inclusiv in ficat si in doua saptamani s-a dus. Please think again! Daca vrei sa ne auzim la telefon, Daniel Martin are toate contactele mele. Daca nu, I am not going to bother you again, I wish Mihaela best of luck and best of health!

  3. Sant de acord cu voi pentru alegerea pe care ati facuto alegand aceasta clinica pentru tratament eu cred ca daca o persoan acrede in tratament si vindecare asa va fi ,eu cred ca Mihaela a citit mult stie exact ce trebuie sa faca .Stim cu toti ca medicamentele orice tip au contra indicati dar in acelasi timp au fost create pentru a salva vieti cunosc cazuri care dupa 17 ani de la tratarea boli sunt in viata sanatosi si fericiti,care au trecut prin acelasi tratament ca si a lui MIHAELA si totul este ok,cred ca nu este cazul sa filozofam despre pro si contra .Mihaela important este sa te simti bine sa mananci sa te bucuri de fetitele tale si sa nu te dai batuta esti la jumatatea strazi mai sunt cativa pasi te pup si odihnestete mult fi pozitiva asa cum ai fost pana acum .
