Hope

We had an extremely encouraging phone call last night with mom and dad and they will be staying an additional two weeks to seek continual treatment for the cancer.

Mom had a great day and she sounds really good! Dr. Perez (the lead doctor) and an Internist (who focuses on internal organs and pain management as opposed to an intern that files things and runs for coffee) reviewed her case and the test results from the extensive testing done at Sanoviv. The consultation was encouraging. Mom really likes Dr. Perez a lot. The doctors took several hours to walk them through the results and even showed them slides of her blood tests magnified over 13,000 times to point out problems and issues that need to be addressed. The blood tests looked much better than the doctors expected given mom’s case, but the red blood cells are sticking together due to not enough oxygen in her blood. They began working on that problem immediately and can reverse that problem through oxygen therapy and concentrated IV solutions of vitamin C and other essential nutrients which will also fight the cancer cells themselves in some situations by causing them to oxidize. Her heart rate and blood pressure were considered to be good for the condition she is currently in.

They are meeting with the oncologist today to see if they can find solutions for fighting the cancer directly but realistically we are in acknowledged “uncharted territory.”

Sanoviv holistically treats people rather than focusing directly on one issue in a body like a disease, so right now they are really concentrating on building her immune system. As for the food being served to them to help that process along, dad says, “Not too good or bad”. Their meals consist of salads, asparagus soup, nuts and cereal (with pecan nut milk), and cutting out all salt and sugar. Yesterday, mom was being served poached eggs and greens and some good soup later in the day along with broccoli, and they were able to have a pinch of sea salt as a “treat.”

I told mom and dad about the phone calls and emails you have made to me with the words of encouragement and the prayers that are being lifted on their behalf. They/we are so thankful for you remembering them throughout the day. If you get a chance you may leave them a voicemail in room 25 at Sanoviv with an encouraging message or send them a card to the below address since they will be there for another 2.5 weeks.
