The Treatment Program

We arrived home this afternoon from New York.

It was great to visit and see the sights, but there is nothing like flying into SeaTac airport and seeing the mountains and water and trees!

It's good to be home.

But, to be honest, arriving home has also come with a bit of a dread - it's time to begin The Program.

Crazy, huh, to be dreading the thing that has the possibility of providing life and health from the dreaded cancer?

It gives you a glimpse into the trepidation and uncertainty and weakness that easily dominates my thinking as I embark upon this daily treatment journey.

So...to give you a glimpse of The Treatment Program:

1. Diet - To put it simply, the chickens of this world are now much safer!  We used to eat a lot of the feathered fowl (without the feathers, of course) as a healthier alternative to what other carnivores eat...but no more:(

My new diet is basically an organic, vegetarian diet.  Lots of raw vegetables and fruits along with whole grains, nuts, beans and seeds, with some fish and dairy thrown in to round things out.

It almost sounds like, rather than eating birds, I am beginning to eat more like a bird!

Actually, the Diet is the easiest part of The Program except for the elimination of good things like donuts and ice cream!

I still get to drink a few cups of our amazing Coffee Oasis fresh roasted organic coffee each week:)

Who am I to complain...

And, not that any of you are looking for advice but, reducing your daily sugar intact might make your body happier also.

Just saying...

2. Supplements - Lots of them.  LOTS of them.  Around 200+ each day spread out throughout the clock both to strengthen my body and to fight the cancer.

That's a lot of capsules to down every day.  That's a lot of water to drink.  Reverse osmosis water without chlorine or fluoride or other little minerals or bugs that may be lurking.

The supplements, like the diet, are particularly tailored to my body and my cancer treatment program.

The heart of the supplement program are pancreatic enzymes which are known cancer fighting agents.

3. Detox - Getting rid of the gunk.

I will spare you the details here!

The simple of it is regular, daily and monthly internal cleansing processes to get out the dead cancer cells and toxins being eliminated from the body as the diet and supplements are doing their thing.

I'm not looking forward to this part, but then I never really looked forward to running laps to get in shape either:)

Well, that about sums up The Treatment Program that begins TOMORROW!

Thanks for encouraging and supporting and praying me through this:)

One final thing for today's blog: If after reading this explanation of The Treatment Program you are thinking "that doesn't seem like it will do any good at all in fighting cancer" or "that's dumb" or something else of the sort; please keep it to yourself.

One of my oncologists had the same concern though what he had to offer me was nothing!

This doesn't have to be what you would choose or the route you would go...

This is my cancer journey and the route we are confident holds out a lot of HOPE for us.

Till next time...
