Rushing around and preparing for surgery.

Here is a picture of me before multiple myeloma along with our dog Monty ll. We had 10 acres with nothing behind us, lots of fruit trees and fun in the sun. This was an especially good spring and we had so many cherries and apricots you could not count them.
My Myeloma buddies have been after me to post so here goes. I am schedule to have a rod put in my arm on Wednesday. The reason? Due to a bone survey done by my new doctor, 1 lesion was found to have eaten thru my humerus bone and it cannot be treated till I have it stabilized. It is bad enuf having a broken radius now they want to do away with both my arms so to speak. I cannot have the radius fixed due to the high probability of paralysis in the fingers so we have to look for other solutions.

I have found a new formula for my bones and it will show a big improvement. STill waiting to hear about the Hyperbaric to try and get more blood to the radius.
I do have wonderful doctors who do not give me more than I need medication wise. (I have them trained LOL) but it is comforting to know they will not push off on me the latest and greatest invention in drugs that have not been tested. What happens in 5 or 10 years. Half the drugs today get pulled because too many people died or had life threatening reactions.
My diet has been upgraded and someone mentioned to me today that Gluten allergy's have been associated with Multiple Myeloma, so I am going to try gluten free and hope I can do it.
Anything to improve one's health no matter what cancer maybe lurking. Fungus and cancer are tied together so keeping a fungus free diet and maintaining a proper pH, go a long way to healing.
I have posted on my www.healingcancernaturally.net about my bone problems and the steps that really help. I had to leave off one ingredient as when people read suggestions, they do not read when it says, if you have this...do not take. It is such a simple remedy but anyone who wants to know more may email me.
I am fortunate to have good friends who came to help me, I had to buy an "old peoples lift chair" today as having no arm ability I cannot get up by myself without my hands. I lost a large portion of my spine and even though do well this is a new twist till I heal.
There is so much suffering at this time and I see people with all types of cancer being reactivated as the cancer returns. So much fear. I ask you all to take heart as there is always something to help out.
So will have more general information in a couple of weeks but have no idea when I can use my hand/arms again, hopefully only a few days.
I am a conundrum to the doctors but mostly they treat me very well.
I can only pray for you all and your various problems and worries and know all will be well.
Till next time Blessings.

Myeloma Buddies and Friends Who Help us

Here are my companions when I blog. The myeloma buddy came from Paula, who writes Feresaknit Blog, who is a knitting and crocheting master. The Myeloma buddies she makes and sells to support the UK myeloma foundation.
Multiple Myeloma is a rare cancer (unfortunately the numbers are increasing) with about 1% of the population suffering from this incurable cancer.
My motto, Where there is life there is hope.
I have had Freddy the frog for years, I purchased him as a gift but could not part with him, he watches over me.
Our dogs have gone to dog heaven so I have to have different mascots to spur me on.
My trial this week has been with having check ups and figuring out how to heal my broken radius. It was originally a hairline fracture but now has become more broken. The no longer put the radius or ulna in a cast so you have to wear a sling and try not to use your arm.
For me the downside has been radiation. As I had a bad multiple myeloma lesion at the fracture site, the 20 radiations did not help the arm to heal. As it was healing better, I used it more, now I am back to the sling. Yes I type with it but that is about all.
The doctors have been trying to see what can be done. The hand surgeon can put a plate in but the consequences can be dire. Highly likely that I can develop paralysis of the hand, as they do not see the nerves that work the fingers (it is because the break could not be in a worse place.)
Sooo we nixed that idea, have doubled the calcium and magnesium and Vit D in hopes it will improve it. A smart friend suggested hyperbaric oxygen . I check with my 3 doctors and they thought it was a brilliant plan.
Maybe brilliant, now I am fighting uneducated people, who say that the insurance company may not pay for it. If I had a weeping sore would be different, but one of the criteria is to have had radiation that worsened the problem. I am anxiously awaiting my radiologist to call and tell me it can be done. He is 110% for it so now it is up to politics. "They" say it has never been done we need to study it..Hmmm wonder what I am..So that is my saga this week.
I am doing well but it does tire you out. I had 5 elements acupuncture this week, to lessen my chest infection. 2 antibiotics and I am not ready to try anymore so up the Vitamin B and Cod liver Oil.
My website www.healingcancernaturally.net has been updated so do not forget to refresh your browser when visiting. I am still adding new content but had to get the previous content organized.
Have a great week and remember to meditate.!:)

Forgotten spring, Positive Healing

I need to take more pictures of my flowers, they are now abundant.
Spring? I do not think we have had any.
Spent a couple of weeks on the east coast and it was lovely and warm, but nothing like being back home in a quiet place.
Unfortunately my trip brought on a bad chest cold. I might add in all my travels, in the past 3 years, this has not happened. The secret has been to carry Colloidal Silver fine mist spray and use several times while on the plane. If I feel a tickle in my throat any time out comes the spray.

I had to go visit a local clinic in Florida, and believe me, down there, the health services are very perfunctory, as they cater to many elder with multiple problems. (We had an experience 3 years ago, after my husband had some heart surgery here at home, and on our trip we had a complication. I must not get negative, but it was no thanks to the doctor, that we got any help. I heard this time the hospital was so bad they closed it.....)
Anyway I met the best clinic doctor I have come across in a long time. He actually was genuinely interested to know what I did for my natural healing, it was amazing.
Every now and then one can have their faith in humanity restored. Yes he did give me antibiotics, which I needed.
My immune system had suffered, as I had just finished 2 months of radiation, for my Multiple Myeloma outbreak in my arm, now gone, and my lower jaw, a tiny ten cent sized spot, but they can have terrible consequences if not treated. I have a wonderful radiation doctor, who understands my body and spreads the treatment out, instead of blasting away at me,all at once.
Now both are gone and my body is getting back in shape.
It was confirmed to me that the spot on the jaw was from Cell phone and the cordless phone use. I am one of those weird people who are super sensitive to radiation from the phone along with the magnetic forces, put out by of same.
I was counselled to go back to plug in phones and only use a long ear chord for my cell phone or put it on speaker. SOOOO hopefully the head will stop having these outbreaks. It just hits the bone.
Yes lots of controversy over phones and their output of negative waves. My husband purchased a meter that detects radiation out-put of phones- all kinds - and to our amazement the cordless phones had waaay more output in the negative than the cell. It is just that people use cell phones more. Myself I am a light user so this time I am taking notice.

I have increased my polymva, my curcumin, more cod liver oil, and D 3 and again changed my diet so that I get more fresh items, very little red meat and easily digested meals and snacks.
Other than my chest infection, which is slowly going away, I am really doing quite well.
Before I left I was walking a mile + a day with the help of my walker and hope to increase it this coming week.
Enjoy the summer and get outdoors, go barefoot, it grounds you, makes you feel better. Have a wonderful week and say a daily prayer of thankfulness for all that you do have.
