NHL, STAGE 4, CELL B

[BLP1211]

Ok. , NHL, follicular, slow growing on WW.

5 months and 5 days on CBD. I was pleased with an average of 4-5 good days a week because all days were without pain, itching, etc. The later weeks of swollen stomach and thighs were concerning because one day I was so swollen I had difficulty walking. Since my diagnosis I have not traveled. Felt ok but did not have my usual get up and go. Because of the swelling I stopped infrared saunas and lymphatic massages.

Today is day 168. My son's So. Korean friend was visiting and asked about the cancer. In a few days he sent CHAGA Mushroom tea to me and suggested I eat 2 Brazilian nuts per day.

I tried to mix the CBD with the tea but felt dull. For the past 11 days only the nuts and tea. I have more mental clarity, no pain, aches, itching. I took a short trip this weekend, about 1,000 miles round trip for the first time since April. My swelling in stomach and thighs are down thereby losing weight...gradually. I am going to have my 70th Birthday party in Dec. Instead of following with Chemo I hope I am well enough to leave the USA for awhile... now that my swelling is going down.

Before cancer I would have 1 or 2 cocktails a month, now zero. I would do exciting travel, now 1 since April. I am thankful for the alternative medicines; but I MISS MY OLD LIFE. I WANT IT BACK...CANCER OR NOT. I will have scans again in January. I PRAY I am improving.

I drink 3 cups of green tea a day. No idea if it is helping, but feeling good.

I occasionally drink green tea also.
