June 5th 2016 I was diagnosed with bowel cancer
June 5th 2016 I was diagnosed with bowel cancer, the tumor was too large to be removed at the initial surgery. I was given a colostomy, a draining fistula and a referral to Mayo Clinic. While hospitalized I started drinking Essiac tea 2 oz twice a day.
The Mayo Clinic appointment was in the 3rd week of July. The carcinoembrionic antigen(CEA) number was 154. Mayo recommended 6 rounds of chemo, then a surgical consult. Chemo was given a 50/50 chance of effecting the tumor.
Aug. 2nd had a port placed at Duluth Clinic. The CEA number was 111. The only treatment at that time was the Essiac Tea. I then started Chaga Tea, 1 cup twice daily, Noni juice 2Tbsp. twice daily and the UVLrx (Intravenous Light Therapy) treatments in addition to the Essiac Tea. Chemo began Aug 5th, at the end of Aug the CEA number was 81.
I literally passed pieces of tissue rectally after each of the therapies I used, the Chaga Tea, Essiac Tea, Intravenous Light Therapy (UVLrx) and Chemo. It is a possiblity that these tissue pieces were tumor.
In mid September I added Frankincense Oil twice daily and Myrrh Oil once daily topically to the abdomen. The draining fistula had been requiring dressing changes 2 to 3 times a day. By early Oct the drainage was mininal. Dressing changes 1 or 2 a week.
I took the Intravenous Ultra Violet light treatments 1 or 2 times a week for a total of 15 prior to the surgerical consult at the end of October 2016. The surgeon felt the tumor had shrunk 60 – 70%. They now began talking about tumor removal instead of debulking. The CEA number was 9.4. The surgeon recommended one more chemo, then surgery. He thought he might be able to get it all out, but wasn’t sure. The Oncologist said I could have 6 more chemo’s then reevaluate. I opted to continue more chemo because it would give my other treatment longer to work.
The next 6 chemo treatments were at a reduced amount. I continued the Essiac, Noni, Chaga, essential Oils, and had 6 more UVLrx treatments. During that time in November we had to cease the Intraveneous UltraViolet Light sessions for a time and during that time I also experienced some gallbladder discomfort and lethargic feelings. When I again continued the UVLrx the gallbladder symptoms and fatigue faded.
Had a re-evaluation at the end of January 2017, my CEA was 3.9. Surgery was scheduled for Feb 13, 2017. After a 12 plus hour surgery the tumor was removed with no lymph gland involvement. In may 2017 the tmepory illeostomy was reversed. To recap I took 21 UVLrx treatments, Chaga, Essiac Tea, Noni Juice, Frankinsense Oil, Myrrh Oil, Multivitamin and Mineral supplements and most improtant – Lots of Prayer.
