Thank you for visiting my Blog...this blog was for me to to be able to communicate to you about my progress with the treatment for Ovarian Cancer. Although, I had been cancer free for almost 2 years...the original cancer recurred in January 2009 and I just completed treatment for a second time. July 31 2009 was my last chemo in this current treatment. My first diagnosis was in August of 2006...to view my blog that shares the experiences from 2006 please visit
www.elephantspirit.blogspot.com

March 2010...I have just found out that I now have a third recurrence of cancer and MET to the liver. I am currently investigating alternative treatments for healing. I feel healed already!

I just returned from one month at Optimum Health Institute and will be continuing with a similar diet regimen ... with added support using supplements from holistic docs whom I respect and trust...a day at a time...with deep joy and gratitude and a peace I have never known before...I am healed! Whatever needs to happen next will show up and I'll embrace all that needs to come my way...for the greater good of all beings in this world...may all of our experiences show us a deeper level of love! 5/10/10

Well here we are on 5/22/10 and I am getting ready to leave for Mexico to Hope 4 Cancer in Playa Tijuana...I will be there for 2 weeks and return with home treatment for several more weeks and then an ongoing monitored program for 3 months or more from there. If all works out in my favor ....then I'll just proceed from that protocol...if I need another treatment plan...I will open my heart and my mind to what is best at that time. Please hold me in your thoughts and continue to send me love and healing as you have always done...thank you for everything...see you very soon!

6/16/10
I returned from Mexico with a very rigorous home treatment plan...I'm very hopeful and ready to embrace this beautiful life! My experiences in Mexico can be read on my blog entries ...it was and is amazing and I'm very committed to healing! Thank you to all who are assisting me financially as I continue this healing path...I'm so grateful and ready to dedicate myself to this path not only for my well being but for the health of all of us...as I learn and grow...I can share with all of you!

8/11/10
Starting chemo again...ca-125 went from 800 to 8500 in 3 months ...the metastasis that had shown in my liver was not seen on the recent pet scan...at this time...the cancer that has spread is still in the abdominal cavity...this treatment is recommended by the alternative medicine doctors in Mexico and my Dr here...I feel like it's a good choice for now...as long as I'm growing and able to share...it's all good...

9/9/10

Ca-125 has dropped from 8500 to 3200 from only one cycle of chemo...second cycle starts tomorrow...

9/12/10

started second cycle of chemo today...

10/10/10

Third cycle of chemo started on Friday 10/8/10...I also received blood work this week
ca-125 is down to 2600

11/11/10
Fourth cycle of chemo begins...CA-125 will not be done until next cycle due to the bowel obstruction which will give a false higher number

12/09/10

Ca-125 is elevated again 7000....should be under 10.....day by day....feeling the love...on my way to chemo cycle 5 #2...know more soon..

12/23/10
Ca-125 has dropped back down to 3900 and the MRI shows diminished cancer in certain areas...it has been decided to stay on the same chemo for now...chemo cycle 6 starts this Friday.

2/16/11
Ca-125 is 9000...more tests will be run to decide on future treatments...for now, current chemo schedule for cycle 8 will begin this Friday.

2/24/11
MRI continues to show diminishing cancer...chest x-ray is clear. It is a mystery why my ca-125 is rising.

4/1/11
ca-125 is 16,000 more tests will reveal the next step...currently on the second day of the 9th cycle of chemo

Work Schedule

Currently, I will not be teaching as I learn to adapt to being with the hospice care...as my body begins to heal a bit more...I will be able to add some work hours back in to my schedule. I'm truly taking one moment at a time. Thank you for your patience and support. If you would like to be placed on a list as a volunteer, you may email at the address below. There is so much I need help with and will know more of what I need as the week unfolds. Those of you on the list already...I will be contacting you as needed...please continue to offer as I may also forget. There is so much to remember and I have many drugs running through my body.
