Time for Healing

Dear Friends,

Most of you know, I'm facing a health challenge. The original ovarian cancer from the diagnosis in 2006, has recurred a third time. I have embraced conventional treatments that have included numerous surgeries and chemo-therapies. At this time, it looks like this approach is not the most useful course of treatment. Throughout my entire life, I have always been open to what ever method of medicine would be the most beneficial. I have and will continue to receive care from alternative Doctor's...i.e...acupuncture..
.holistic Dr's ...healers of many traditions...prayer...love...and more! Within the western model I was lucky enough to also be able to integrate these modalities for healing. I will also continue my incredible relationship with my oncologist. Most of you know how much I love and appreciate him!

To continue with the same type of treatment is not beneficial at this time. I have been blessed with so many friends and family sending information and ideas for additional ways to treat my current situation. One can only imagine all of the wonderful and not so wonderful alternative medicine out there. I have had a very difficult time making any decisions at all.

 After digesting the many alternative options...There is a place I would like to go to ...I must raise the money first...the cost is approximately $35,000.000 dollars...I would need even more to cover current medical bills and loss of work. The goal is to raise $50,000.000. I know it can be done ...I know it will come. There are three fundraisers in different areas being planned. I don't have the details yet. I will keep in touch with the information as soon as I know.

Another method of pausing the cancer cell growth is by decreasing calories and optimizing nutrition. There is incredible research showing great results. Three weeks ago, I started a 100 % organic veggie juice ( fast) with now some warm soup (all veggies) and I feel great. By taking an extra step while money is being raised...I can do some research on my own and continue to heal by this method. With the wonderful help of holistic Dr's ..I'm also on a supplement regimen that also feels right at this time.

The decision to take the extra step will include going to Optimum Health Institute for 3 weeks and more recovery at home for an additional week. I will be off of work for one month starting this Sunday April 11- May 2 and will return to work, Monday May 10. This facility is local...Lemon Grove, San Diego. This way I can also be close to my Dr. and have access to lab work and care outside of this faciltity should I need additional support...including alternative medical support.

After the three week protocol I'll get more blood work to show the results of this current method .I'll know how to continue or that I must go to the hospital in Mexico called
"Oasis of Hope". I feel like an in between step is what I need. There are also other alternative options that I resonate with...all of them with a similar financial investment. I will be staying open minded to the additional options for treatment should I discover something more useful along the way!

I will meet with my private clients one on one to discuss our schedules.
Class schedule:

All Blend classes are paused until Tuesday May 11...

Soul of Yoga Thursday nights at 5:30 pm will be taught by one of the other wonderful teachers while I'm out...I'll be back to Thursday nights on May13.

Yoga Vista Monday nights at 6:00 pm will continue with other great teachers as well. I will return on May 10.

While I'm gone I'll communicate updates through my blog www.theinnerhouse.blogspot.com

Thank you for your love and support. This is a time to embrace life in a way that truly moves us in a direction of love and compassion. I'm stepping into the powerful light and love that is healing... I feel happy and blessed for the life I've been given. I will continue to grow and learn and share. I'm very grateful for the wonderful energy surrounding me ...there isn't a moment that I take for granted anything. Please step into this healing light with me and may we all benefit!

I'll have my computer with me and will be able to receive emails and the various ways we communicate. Due to my need to focus on healing...I will limit my communication.

I love you...I'll see you soon!
Namaste,
Summer

what I know now...

  • I plan on teaching my yoga class tonight at Yoga vista at 6pm...please join me...YEAH!!!

Medical update:

  • I feel great ...

  • I have choices with western medicine ...surgery options...chemotherapy...ect...
  • I have alternative therapy options...which are many...I'm currently researching those options as it's clear to me that the treatments I have already done...are not working...so it's time to look at other options...

The biopsy that was supposed to be done last Wednesday and then was rescheduled to this coming Wednesday is now canceled due to the radiologist view that the tumor isn't large enough to get the tissue sample he needs...he also feels there is not enough acitis fluid to get for testing either .

I have big decisions to make about my next step...I'm currently on a very strict organic juicing protocol with a few added supplements...so I am doing something...I'm also embracing that I AM HEALED!

Two names that keep coming up are Gerson Therapy and Oasis of Hope...

other names...Optimum Health Institue ( I've been there) and local places like Health Walk ect.

If any of you have direct experience with any of them ...please let me know.

This is one of  if not the most challenging decision I have ever made. I'm calling out for a healing miracle!


My work schedule can change at any time...however...unless posted otherwise...I'm working my regular schedule...I look normal and healthy and I feel great...

Stay with me in the positive light ...I am supported by your love and your strength with me...Please do not surround me with any fear or judgment.

Love to you,
Summer

urgent news to share

Dear Friends,

Unfortunately, I have to share some difficult news with you.

I recently found out that the cancer has come back. I'm still in the gathering information stage and will have more tests run to determine a course of treatment.

What I have know so far...


  • Ca-125 elevated significantly ( marker for Ovarian Cancer)
  • MRI shows positive cancer and tumor in Liver
  • Liver Biopsy will be done next Wednesday April 7 to determine if the tumor in the liver is from the original ovarian cancer cells or a secondary cancer has formed
  • Tissue samples and fluid samples will also be done to be sent to labs to find a compatible chemo should I decide to use chemo again.
  • Seeking advice and opinions from many points of view to help me navigate this confusion

I have been working my normal hours with the exception of canceling due to medical appointments that have to be scheduled.
My emotions have been expressed on all levels....FEAR...ANXIETY...LOVE...JOY...GRATITUDE....and then it starts all over again...fear...anxiety...love....joy...gratitude...what the F_____????!!!!! and then laughter ....tears...everything you can imagine one would feel in this situation...

There will be a follow up email with a web site giving options for friends to visit for additional information. Everyone always asks me how they can help and this site will be extremely helpful to give you several options. Look for that email around Sunday.

In the meantime...I'm working and keeping my teaching schedule as close to normal as possible. Unless an emergency arises...
I will teach YOGA on Thursday night at Soul of Yoga at 5:30 pm and Monday night at Yoga Vista at 6:00 pm

The BLEND class at Indigo Village will be taught Thursday ( tomorrow) at 9:15 am and next Tuesday April 6 same time ( I'll keep you posted on future classes)

embracing an ALIVE and REAL world

To be on the positive timeline- we have to be willing to face the negatives, face the shadows, walk in the darkness - the labyrinth- the Underworld. WE must embrace the mystery, laugh at the demons and love all that we judge and forgive all who have harmed us. Its not all light and fluffy- this is the path of a Warrior and we are Doing it!

more love from Pema

"Compassionate action starts with seeing yourself when you start to make yourself right and when you start to make yourself wrong. At that point you could just contemplate the fact that there is a larger alternative to either of those, a more tender, shaky kind of place where you could live."
