I suggest you look up videos from Thomas seyfried. He explains how cancer feeds by the way of a fermentation process that utilizes carbs. To assist in your fight against cancer you elimate carbs from your diet as well as fast.

… absolutely delete carbs from your diet… As carbs turn into sugar and then into alcohol in your bloodstream… Not good at all…

… If you are a reader… There is a book called… The PH Miricle… You might want to give it a read…going vegetarian has helped many many cancer patients… minimally it will slow down the progression of the cancer cells…👍

… highly recommend That you watch the video from the post above me… Because of all the big nomenclature, you’re probably not gonna understand it at first… But I highly recommend that you watch it over and over and over again… It is a pretty simplistic theory… But it’s got some real big words in it… Don’t skip over any of those words look up the definition of those big words…. Go for it, Mr. TBI👍

I met with the oncologist and left feeling hopeful. He says although my condition is a type of leukemia, it closely resembles an auto immune blood disorder (like my platelet deal) but now my body is wiping out my red blood cells as well as my platelets. We will start out fighting it with the same treatments they use on people who reject organ transplants rather than starting with chemo. Those treatments still have some nasty side effects, but not as bad as chemo.

Thumb up 👍

Thanks for the update. Hoping that you see some great results with this treatment plan ❤️

Things have been going pretty good, then last night shit hit the fan, platelets tanked and I somehow managed to get sepsis. As well as Norovirus. Always something for hell sakes. Took them 12 tries to get an IV started.

One of my best friends and my mentor at work was diagnosed with the same thing about 10 years ago. He is the smartest person I've ever met and is still going strong and in his late 60's. You got this man, just invest the time to decide what YOU need for care and go all in to get it.

IV's are a bitch. Do not be shy about telling the doctor or nurse to get someone else to try. 2 tries is my max then I tell them to get another nurse. If they're drawing blood, have them use a baby needle. It will save those veins.

One more thing. Are you hydrating? I drink at least 80oz of fluids per day because of all the meds. Hydrating will help you get the needle to it's mark.

My platelets have sky rocketed to 1 Million, putting me at risk for blood clots and/or strokes. White blood cell count is high, Red blood cell count is low.

Very sorry to hear that would be hard to deal with physically and emotionally. I feel like we are reading way too much of this lately. Stay strong, sir. Not sure where you are located, but if you’re close by Menifee or Temecula area, we would be happy to make you some meals Or any other help you might need at your house or with whatever.

Good Dr visit this morning! White blood cells are down, red blood cells are up, platelets have come down to 700,000 from 950,000 and I lost 7 lbs since my visit a week ago. I can now start tapering off of the Prednisone 🙂

That's fantastic to hear. Glad you're able to get off the evil prednisone.

That’s awesome TBI, keep swinging for the fence’s, a PMA* goes a long way! Every day is a gift, even if a person does not have health issues, be sure not to squander them away.

*positive mental attitude

Red cells up, platelets up, white cells down 👍

If things get out of wack I'll lop off the other thumb to balance you out.

Jeff, please let me know if you need anything
