Today was a good day!

I had a petscan a week ago. Today, my Oncologist was comparing the recent one with the initial petscan(July 2018), which revealed(in conjunction with other tests) cancer in my prostate, seminal vesicles, in a lymph node in my pelvis and a mass on my rectum(10x8x6cm.). I also had a suspicious spot on my right lung, back in 2018. My treatment consisted of injections of firmagon, lupron and eligard, depending on what my insurance approved. Also, I am still taking 1000mg. of Zytiga+10mg. of prednisone daily. I changed my diet, added BIRM and some supplements. I pray and others pray for me. The Oncologist said that the recent petscan did not pick up any cancer in my body. I asked about my big rectal tumor. The doctor said that it has been reduced to some thickening of the rectal wall, but it was not cancerous! I called my wife, children in New York, my pastor, brother, and I went straight to Dairy Queen to get myself a Reeses blizzard, to celebrate. I did not like what I loved for years. Everyone is happy for me and so am I!

I am from Romania. Tomorrow I will have a confession in front of the fellow believers from our Romanian Baptist Church in Naples, Fl. I did not expect the meds, my mostly plant-based diet, and some supplements to bring these miraculous changes in my fight against the beast. I work part-time, I have a nice wife and a great puppy. Also, I have 44 pigeons, which I love. I go to church, I pray, read the Bible(not enough). I spend time outdoors, cleaning pigeon poop, swimming and I am not afraid to say goodbye to this world of Nancy Pelosi, Donald Trump, Kim Jung-un, Iran, etc. God decided to take away my cancerous tumors, and it's Him who will determine when I will go to a better place. I'm not afraid, nor anxious. It is not my will that counts. Obviously, it is His! That's the way it should be. Being a recovering alcoholic, I learned in AA not to get excited. I have a peaceful life(now). God bless you and your family!

What everyone wants to hear, congratulations. I am just wondering though. The inhalation of dried pigeon poop? Maybe some of us should get pigeons. I, alas, am already on a trial of inhalation of dried cat poop. It has done nothing for me.

Hey j-o-h-n, I love your sense of humor and the fact that you know about the better place. We'll go when He will say it's time. For now, I plan on taking it easy and I want to attend some AA meetings(sobriety date:04-03-2010). Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor! I like that a lot.

The mystery of healing is often a matter of faith. Who knows who is guiding the doctor in his decision making or what is being manipulated in the body to make the medicine work so completely. I congratulate you controling this monster and know that you are thankful.

I have prayed a novena to St. Joseph for nine straight days and you know what, my meds are working and I hope next month they will tell a story similar to yours. I will never say prayers do not get answered because the answer may be coming through the direction of others by the Almighty. He does work in ways that we don't always understand. Just keep the line faith.

Love life, yourself and others! God bless all of us who are engaged in this fight.
