Thank you for your regard. My sincere apologies for the tardy reply but it has not been because of forgetfulness that it’s taken so long.
I don’t know where to begin with updating you with this journey that began in October 2012. In short, I’m still not in the clear. Many factors contribute to this outcome & these are:
• My own ignorance about this type of cancer. I was unaware for some time that there is no devised screening process for ovarian cancer; that the only way to monitor it are blood tests and CT scans. When my blood test result had a normal reading I went onto a maintenance dose of MMS. Almost 3 months had elapsed before I had a CT scan which revealed that there was still residual cancer as well as a cyst.
• After that followed several fits & starts with MMS. At one point I just went into a meltdown psychologically keeping up the hourly doses (I’ve been back at work since January 2013). For several weeks I was taking it sporadically. Then, late last year for a period of about 6 weeks I experienced a great deal of nausea and vomiting without increasing the dosage. This eventually ceased of its own accord. However, during this period it was difficult (if not impossible, really) to keep up with the hourly dosages.
The last CT scan I had was in August 2012. This showed an increase in the size of the cyst and some spread of the cancer. This wasn’t surprising given my psychological meltdown & the period of vomiting which ensued.
I had 2 blood tests in December, both of which showed the tumour marker to be a little outside of the normal range. The one encouraging thing to be noted here is that the markers were the same, indicating some stability. Since then I’ve been far more vigilant with sticking to the hourly doses. To date I’m taking about 18 drops an hour. I’m still experiencing frequent nausea & vomiting about once a week, so I know I’m peaking with what my body can tolerate.
I was referred to a naturopath who is based in another state to me but does long distance consultations. He has written a book on alternate treatments of cancer & is familiar with MMS. He has a somewhat scientific approach & does an analysis of one’s blood. I’ve purchased several products he’s recommended & have been taking them since early January. He claims these will help MMS do it’s work.
I recently had one attempt at CDH. This wasn’t successful but I’m thinking of giving it another go as I suspect the recommended amount of stevia is not to my body’s liking & I may need much less.
I’m seeing my GP on Wednesday for blood test results. My plan at the moment is to have another scan in March & also another follow up consultation with the naturopath.
In conclusion, my resolve is strong & I’m committed to continuing with MMS. If it was available in vanilla, I’d be in heaven.
