Thank you Scott.

I am reading a lot about what I can do to stay healthy and maybe increase my ability to stay disease free. I'm reading a book on integrated oncology. A google search did come up with several groups in my area. But I like my current oncologist. I trust him. I also work with and environmental and holistic Doctor. He is also an MD. I also have a therapist and a personal trainer who are both trained in working with people with chronic illnesses. So I have created an integrated program for myself. It's disjointed in that none of these providers know each other. I see my situation like a home remodel and I'm the general contractor. I would have preferred to out source that job, but I can't with the current situation. But you know, I believe now that I'm finished with therapy it's 98% up to me to fuel my body properly. It's up to me to move my body everyday. It's up to me to pay attention to my body's signals. It's up to me to show up for medical appointments. It's up to me to advocate for myself with providers.

What is so sad is that it takes money to do this. I'm currently in a position to do this for myself without going bankrupt. Many people don't have the resources that I have. They don't get to do what I'm able to do for myself. I believe there is enough information about integrated oncology that it should be part of every practice and insurance should cover it.
