This is day two after the biopsy. I am home, feeling well.
Finally after six months, treatment can commence. Kaiser hospital has done hundreds of tests on me since January, actually December, the last of which was the biopsy done this week. Once the lab results come back they will finally start treating me!
Thank God I was healthy enough to live through all of this testing. In a managed healthcare system I can see now how folks die waiting for treatment. In the past six months I have had well over 100 blood tests, four different MRIs, several CT scans, (5) and of fortunes' worth of doctor visits. Yet the only treatment I have had is treatment I purchased outside of my healthcare policy. I have spent thousands of dollars in co-pays with Kaiser Hospital, and not be treated once for this tumor. That is disgusting! Not to mention that we chose to drive to UCLA medical center and visit the doctor up there. At least he confirmed Kaiser's diagnosis... So I think it was money well spent.
While waiting for Kaiser to get the lab results back from my brain biopsy, I will begin the herbal teas prescribed by Grand Master Fu. According to Wendy, the QiGONG acupuncturist/ therapist that we see, we had to wait until today to start this herbal tea.
The reason is that the tea formula has powerful things in it to not only destroy the tumor, but force the blood to move the tumor parts through my system. This could be perceived as a blood thinner, something you definitely do not want in your system when you are getting brain surgery. The very last thing you want is a brain bleed to because by inappropriate drugs. So for those reasons we have not even tried the tea one single time.
We do have though and this afternoon I'll give it a try. I have faith in God that Grand Master Fu and is ancient Eastern healing methods will be the closing salvo on this brain tumor so the Lorraine and I can put this chapter behind us completely forever.
Of course nobody knows what the future holds, but mark my words I am going to fight this tumor with everything I have until I am healthy again! My lovely wife Lorraine gives me so much to live for and keeps me so happy that all I want in life right now is to prolong it for a long time. I need to live a long happy life with Lorraine and give her all the things that she deserves.

Hi, Great to stumble on your blog! Best of luck with your journey! Have you heard about FAMEDS fight to keep Avastin on label for the 17,500 women with metastatic breast cancer that it is working for? Please sign and share our urget petition: http://fameds.org/petition.php
Hi Paul, yes sadly the what I call "Sickcare System" does little to prevent illness and has many deficits in helping people restore their health. That is why I am very into mind/body/spirit healing modalities. I believe it is the way of the future! The drug companies only want our money! I am so very happy for you that you are pursuing alternative treatments. I know from my own experience that healing is a journey and our route to being restored to wellness can take us to many places within our souls that we perhaps have never discovered before. This is the crux of our healing! I have had much success with what is called "Reconnective Healing" originating with a chiropractor called Eric Pearl located in Los Angeles! This form of healing has changed my life and way of looking at life so much so that I am leaving the work I have done in the past and changing career directions to become a certified practitiioner in this healing modality. I almost cannot ever call it a "modality" as it is so much more! If you get a chance, I recommend picking up a copy of this book "The Reconnection Heal Yourself Heal Others" by Dr. Eric Pearl! text/call me and I would love to tell you more of my experiences with this! It has healed me in many many ways in a short period of time! ALl the best to you and Lorraine!
xoxo Chris
