Hey everyone I feel this is the best way to get the truth out to everyone, because everyone has been asking so many questions. In 2009, I was pregnant with Jag (age 7) and after the pregnancy I was diagnosed with a mixed form of Non-Hodgkins lymphoma. We treated conventionally with chemo and after 6 rounds of chemo, I was declared to be in remission. Then when I was pregnant with Tyce in 2012, I felt an enlarged lymph node which was scary. After his birth,t he lymph node didn't go away. We opted to have another biopsy which showed that it was follicular lymphoma. I decided to watch and wait because it was very slow growing. It wasn't until 2015 until I started having problems. At that time I did a less harsh chemo which took away most of the tumors but not all. After this I decided to try something different again. We started doing IPT treatments in Chicago weekly for 12 rounds. This helped take away one of the two remaining tumors, so again I had a decision to make. Per recommendation of another doctor to get out of the states to start something that is not conventional but alternative, which is where we are currently at.
The past few months I have also have been dealing with blood clots, which is possibly due to the cancer and how it is sitting in my in my iliac spine. I bounced back from the first blood clot episode but I just got released the beginning of this month after having a second clotting surgery and I know I won't come back as soon.
I know that this is a lot of information to throw out there. And I know I've kept this a secret for quite some time but it was only because the first time I went through cancer I felt like such a victim. I am not a victim, but I felt like everyone looked at me like I was cancer. I am not cancer, I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a Chiropractor, a God-lover, the list could go on and on.
I greatly appreciate your prayers for myself and my family, but currently having a lot of phone calls, visits or emails is a little overwhelming so we ask that you comment here.
I will try to blog pretty frequently to keep you up to date and fill you in a bit more about how we got to this current spot.
