Looking back over my posts over the past 10 years wow I do feel lucky to be here. It has been just over a year since my second diagnosis of Low Grade Ovarian Cancer stage 3C. This disease is tricky to treat as its only been since 2004 we have recognised it as being a different sub type of Ovarian Cancer which is usually resistant to chemo. Also a huge lack of recognition and lack of funding makes it even harder to treat and usually diagnosis is at such late stages in the disease [edited by moderators].
Ive spent the last year on a rollercoaster.. that is exactly what it has felt like. Many ups and downs and focusing all my energies to my daily routines in healing my body as naturally and low toxicity as possible. Its been a rough week and emotionally I am drained. My best friend in Canada who is 26 so a year younger than me has the same disease and unfortunately her cancer has now spread to her brain and shes been given 3 weeks to live. This has really hit me hard as was planning to go over and see her. As we are so close in age and just similar in so many ways I feel so guilty at times that my Cancer is stable and I dont want to loose my friend 😞. This Cancer has taken so many beautiful souls and I am forever worrying when my time will be. Usually I am so positive & after starting a Reiki course I have learnt that its okay not to be okay and bed days are sometimes needed just as much as productive/walking days. Allow yourself to feel those emotions as tomorrows always a new day.
On a more positive note. I have been on Letrozole for 1 year side effects are bearable but my hair thinning is pretty bad so hair extensions have been a blessing . I follow a 95% vegan diet cut out all processed sugars and practice many spiritual healing practices like meditation, Reiki and yoga. I try exercise for 20 mins 3 times a week, Joe wicks has been putting me to my test and I do all this for my survival. Its not easy and I still have a way to go.. I have spent many hours researching around disease and I am that interested in understanding it that I am going to apply for a diploma through open university in the science behind health. Ill study the essential scientific concepts underpinning the function of the human mind and body; the incidence, diagnosis and treatment of disease and disability
. Through my research over the past year it has taught me that food/chemicals have everything to do with inflammation in the body. I understand its super hard to change your lifestyle especially if a meat eater and also its about the little things we enjoy. A peice of cake here or there isnt that bad but our food industry is full of fast foods, toxins and harmful chemicals [edited by moderators]. Also stress on the body is a huge factor. I have no science background so I am aiming to do a diploma end of 2022. Has anyone started a diploma whilst undergoing treatment? Not sure what my chances of getting in will be yet.
I have spent many hours reading Jane Mcellands book on “how to starve cancer, without starving yourself” and this has been super helpful throughout my journey/recovery. I am now undergoing a new treatment plan through the COC ( Care Oncology Clinic ) in London who have prescribed me 4 low toxicity drugs used for other conditions other than cancer but have had great anti cancer potential in numerous studies. Drugs are: Mebendazole, Artorvastatin, Doxycycline and Metformin. Im currently on day 6 so will check back in 6 weeks let you know if I experienced any side effects and what my bloods are. This treatment protocol works best in synergy with diet and exercise. If you haven't heard of it before I highly recommend checking out Janes Book.
I thank my blessings every day that my Cancer is stable although its wide spread but low volume. Its not spread to my organs and I am truly trying to heal as naturally as possible. There are many miracles and I hope to be one of them. I want to share my story for inspiration to others, Raise awareness and help with the lack of funding for research for Low Grade Ovarian Cancer. The symptoms are so vague so this also needs to be addressed and a Ca125 blood test and internal ultrasound should be mandatory in women visiting GPs with symptoms as we get diagnosed so late in advance stage which makes it impossible to treat. This needs to change around the world. I dont want to have to prepare myself to say goodbye to my lovely teal sisters. It really does break my heart and all the pain I will put into making sure that in the near future women dont have to suffer as I am and thousands of beautiful souls.
