Mike:
With my particular diagnosis of stage 4 breast cancer, with mets to liver and
bones, the prognosis was 18 ms to 3 years at diagnosis, with conventional
treatment of chemo. My liver was already shutting down in Feb. of 04.
I tivo Dr. Phil, and last night I was watching Friday's show. It was a
Mother's day special, and they focused on a mother who was a stage 4 BC with liver
and bone mets (same as me) and Dr. Phil emphasized how "she was terminal" and
had 18 ms to 2 years from time of diagnosis. And they were stating it as if
it was an actual fact, that this healthy looking woman in her early forties was
doomed.
So...if I accept the conventional prognosis, I have at most, another year and
a half left. Way too little for this active 43 yr old, who just got back
from snow skiing at Mammoth this week-end, and still has alot of travel and fun
to have.
So I'm here, I'm learning every day how to better adapt myself to the Budwig
protocol, and I'm hoping for a much better health prognosis than what
conventional time tables have for us.
