I know someone who has fallen for the holistic Bulls... So far she isn’t suffering from any serious illness but I fear the day that she does.
The treatments she has described to me are laughable.
Speaking of laughable: June 22 my lymph node removal indicated leukemia. July 7 I was told no, I have endometrial stromal sarcoma. July 29 I was told no, I have osteo sarcoma. September I don't even remember the day, I was told I have epithelial carcinoma. My slides have been sent to all the right places and have been reviewed by numerous tumor boards and symposiums. Nobody knows what the Cancer is. My cousin is a pathologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering, and she's the person who initiated me questioning the original diagnosis and requesting more tests. As far as tests go, I've had: Two CT-Scans, a trans-vag ultrasound, D&C w/ biopsy, cystoscopy, PET CT, colonoscopy, upper endoscopy, MRI w/ and w/o contrast, and bone scan. My next PET is the end of this month, with a mammo (even though I had one January 1) and breast MRI just before that.
The only thing the docs can agree on is that I need various lengths of time and dosages of chemo and radiation.
At 36 with three kids seven and under, one being high functioning ASD, I'm taking my chances with Gerson, Essiac ingredients, and H2O2.
Judge me. I don't care.
