Mike met with his oncologist here at home on the day before Thanksgiving - Wednesday, November 20, 2013. He said he was pleased with Mike's results. He said that the cancer that had been seen in the colon in April is not seen in the PET scan from October. The tumors in the liver and lungs had shrunk by 50%. He said that since Mike did not want to do any more chemotherapy, he wanted him to continue with the treatment that had has been doing himself all along. Mike had a CEA test performed after this appointment, and we were told they would call us with the results. A follow up appointment has been scheduled for February unless anything would change with Mike. At that time, the doctor would order another CEA test and if things were up, would order further testing at that time.
We received a call stating that Mike's CEA level had gone up to 17.5. When asked about whether it was wise to wait until February to have a repeat CEA, we were told that there are so many things that affect the CEA level. A smoker will have a high CEA level. Mike has not smoked for over 20 years. Anyway...they told us not to be to concerned about this rise.
Mike is continuing with his Vitamin C infusions, his infra red sauna treatments every other day here at home, his coffee enemas, his strict sugar free/carbohydrate free diet. He eats organic chicken and fresh caught fish and seafood as well as organic vegetables. He continues to take his supplements as well.
I am hoping that Mike will continue on a forward progress in his battle. If he cannot be completely cancer free, I am hoping that he can continue to manage it and co-exist with it. I will continue to post updates on Mike's treatment and health.
Again, Mike and I, as well as our babies, send wishes to everyone for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year! We thank you all for your best wishes, caring thoughts, your love, your prayers, and your support during the past 9 months.
