December Ultrasound

Just a little over 24 hours after my latest ultrasound I received the results via email late this morning. I was honestly confused by what it said at first. It contains a lot of medical lingo. Really the only thing worse than not knowing the results is having the results in front of you and being completely confused by them. After looking up all the different terms and comparing it to past reports I finally had it all figured out and I was super excited.

The last ultrasound results from September had shown 6 masses total. (You can reread those results in the post "Crunch Time") I believe it was 4 in the right side and 2 in the left side. One in the right side known to be c*****ous measuring 1.6 cm. Another one in the right side thought to be a fibroadenoma (non-c*****ous) first detected in February. Two new ones found also in the right side. And lastly, two new ones found in the left side.

After the experience I had at the last place I had gotten an ultrasound, I decided to return to the original place I went to in June after deciding to do a holistic approach. I realize now the importance of going to the same place and how helpful this would have been to the process. This isn't a mistake I will make again.

So here's why I'm excited. These results say that there were NO masses, NONE found in the left side at all. There were two masses on the right side. The original c*****ous mass that had previously measured at 1.6 cm was now measuring at .8 cm. That's half people!! The tumor shrunk in half!! The only other mass was the already known fibroadenoma. I'm one very happy lady tonight. Lymph nodes on both sides are still swollen but normal for the situation.

So while I'm definitely not out of the woods yet, I can see daylight peaking through the trees.

Please, feel free to share my story. I want people to know. I would very much like for more people to know my story so when I have my next ultrasound I can finally prove that it is possible. There are options. And if I can do it, so can they.

  2. I know I already answered this on FB, but for anyone who doesn't see the updates there I'll answer it again. I am eating a whole foods, vegan diet. I also have eliminated table salt, sugar, artificial sweetener, fried foods, caffeine. I am drinking fresh juice hourly, mostly carrot, but also greens, apple and beet mixed in. I'm taking a long list of supplements as well as high doses of vitamin C. During the summer I did vitamin C IV's and fresh air and sunlight. I was rebounding and practiced earthing. At one point I had even tried the Rife machine. If I read that it could help and didn't interfere with something I was already doing, I tried it.

  3. Also this is not a complete list but more of a general overview. I will at some point in the near future be putting together a post of exactly what I have done and am doing and what worked for me.
