"Haloo from thee other siiide..."
I have been horrible about keeping up with this blog. It's been well over a year since my last blog, so I figured I should update everyone. As most of you know, I was diagnosed in 2009 with breast cancer. Since that diagnosis I have gone through four different chemos and three rounds of radiation, each one lasting a little over a month. In July of 2015, I received some bad news once again. My oncologist ordered me to go to the ER when I woke up July 4th with severe dizziness and nausea. I underwent yet another brain MRI showing five new tumors, one pressing on my optical nerve causing vision issues. Well I guess it's a good thing it wasn't six tumors. ;) Since that diagnosis, I've tried 3 different chemos none of which helped. The last chemo that I was on, Gemzar, burned so bad when it was pushed through my veins. Two of my veins are ruined from these injections and that made me think a lot about what this chemo was doing to my body. I decided it was time to stop and go all natural. As some of you know, I have been to Germany twice to receive alternative treatments at the Herzog Klinik. The fortunate thing is that I found some alternative treatments I can do here in IL. A few times a week I do HBOT (Hyperbaric oxygen therapy) treatments, along with other all natural treatments. I am trying so hard to stay on a very low sugar lifestyle along with juicing and the Budwig Diet. I'm crossing my fingers that this will show some improvement on my tumors. "Well, that's all I gotta say about that"
I hope to see a lot of you at Embrace Emily 2.0
