Not sure I believe I everything I come across..........

I have been thinking...............

One of the things I have taken on board since I was diagnosed with cancer, is to 'listen to my body'.
Klaus, who I met in Mallorca , the spiritual healer, felt strongly about people listening to their gut. He believes that modern life and the influence via people, the media etc, conditions people to behave in a ways they believe they need to in order to fit in.............. ( It is much deeper than that, but for the purpose of what I am about to say, it summarises it nicely)

If I therefore listen to my gut, then I am not sure I will go back to the Budwig Centre. Why?

So far I have spent a small fortune on hundreds of homeopathic tablets to be taken prior to getting up the morning, whilst getting up, once up, prior to breakfast, during breakfast, past breakfast and so on..........
Too much time is spent every day, checking my long list of 'which tablet to I take next'.
Following the Vega test, where I was told that they detected 'tumor activity' in my pancreas and liver, they also confirmed that I was allergic to red wine, mild, coffee and prawns. News to me. I have never had any side effects from any food I have ever eaten. ( wish I was allergic, then at least I would lose some weight!)

For this reason, I have decided to have a scan next week, to check my liver and pancreas, If anything shows up on the scan, then I will have a PET scan. That would then confirm what is going on inside me.
I prefer not to have a PET scan, ( hence a normal scan first), due to the radiation risk. ( it involves injecting or swallowing a radioactive 'tracer' - brilliant, as if I am not toxic enough)
Not sure how much Chemo poison is still swishing around my body, therefore I prefer not to add any other toxins to the mix.

I did not feel that the clinic really deal with people as individuals. Jan also brought his son to the clinic and from what I hear, he is taking the same tablets as I have been prescribed. I struggle in my head to understand how this would be effective for both of us. Jan's son is 13 years old and has cancer in the bone, with the tumor still in his leg until the operation in 10 days time, I am ancient and have breast cancer, the tumor apparently removed, my lymph nodes clean. So why are we taking the same tablets?

I should have asked them, but didn't............. and, as I mentioned previously, if they prognosis is correct and I have tumor activity in two other parts in my body, then no doubt I will think that they are simply brilliant in the clinic. I should know more next week.

Despite the number of advantages that PET imaging contains, it also has a number of disadvantages that include:
  • PET scan risks caused by the radioactive component used during this procedure. Although the radioactive compounds used in PET imaging are short-lived and the equivalent of 2 x-rays, the radioactive substance may not be suitable for patients who are pregnant, suspect that they are pregnant, or are breast feeding.
  • The radioactive components used in PET imaging will not persist for long periods in a patient�s body, however, the radioactive exposure in PET imaging means that there is only a limited amount of times a patient can undergo this procedure.
  • A relatively new medical procedure, PET imaging is expensive with an average cost ranging between $900 and $1400.
  • As PET scans require cyclotrons, an expensive machine that creates the radioisotopes that are used in the radioactive tracers required for PET imaging, PET scans are not offered in the majority of medical centers in the world. Consequently, it is a difficult treatment to receive.
