I’m not sure if these replies are to my question about remission yesterday. I like reading about other people’s experiences it does however seem to me that there are so many conflicting answers that I’m not sure which one(s) to believe in!?
I lived with a family who had one of the strangest sequence of event with NHL non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
A stroke led to a 9 month coma She just awoke one day a mostly different person. Before the coma she was told she had 6 months to a year to live. After the coma she didn’t know that she had cancer. It was decided to stop all cancer treatments. Her cancer seemed to disappear! She lived for 8 years dying from an accident. It puzzled all of her doctors including the docs at Sloan Kettering.
I always thought the not worrying about dying and her cancer played a part in the remission or disappearance of the cancer. Moreover I know that STRESS makes cancer worse and worry is a form of stress. Diet also plays a part. And this strange thing happened to me while waiting to go into the MRI: a pretty nurse walked by and leaned over to whisper to me and she said: “ a little unsolicited information then said:
“ cancer loves beer and ice cream too” Truth was that I was eating a half of a half gallon of ice cream a night and drinking beer everyday! I cold turkied from both of them and my then PSA if 15 went to a 5 in a month.
I was doing great until I ment back to consuming red meat, alcohol, and ice cream. I gained about 40 lbs and was having lots of sex when my next PSA was taken it rose to 40.
The amount of waste in my digestive system absolutely affects my urination I can tell when I need to EVACUATE! It always helps.
I’m considering going to a health retreat for three weeks. Will keep you posted
