Possible Lymphoma Cancer Again.

Well well well....

 

Not surprised. Nor scared. I may have cancer again. :P

 

I am going to go WHOLE HIPPY NUTS THIS TIME! BooYAA!

 

I'm allergic to pain killers: no surgery for me. Thank GOD!

I'm not interested at all in chemo or radiation again. Been there done that. They will want to bone marrow transplant, I will not tolerate pain killers nor that transplant without painkillers. lol

 

I am however FAR more aware of what to research, how much to supplement, how little and signs to look out for.
I DO have a Naturopathic Doctor licensed and NOT a quake to monitor what I choose to do nutrition wise. 

 

Welcome, to the FIGHT! DING DING DING> IT'S ON! LOL

 

Cancer shall meet it's worst enemy..... ME! BWAHAHAHHAHA

 

Any-who, cancer is literally our own healthy cells becoming malignant (going astray/doing something they aren't programed to do by DNA). SO really we should care for our unhealthy cells. Treat them with the herbs, vitamins and minerals that are put here on the face of this earth in their best form by God Himself. I believe I will live as long as the good Messiah allows me to and I will be with Him when He wants me to. I'll just be more educated of the remedies available and be more responsible for the temple (my body) that He has given me.

I should have never SLACKED on my immune supports when first diagnosed with Celiac. That was the stupidest mistake, I was worried about the money>which is now being spent ANYWAY.

 

Sigh.

 

Time to get back up in the saddle!

I am sorry to hear this. You have always seemed like a very strong person. If anyone can beat this , you will! ( and probably beat the s$!& out of it, too).

I'm so sorry to hear this as well...have you had tests done yet? I hope for you that this isn't a return of your cancer...but if it is you seem ready to kick its butt! (((Hugs)))

I hope that the 'may be back' turns into a whoops it wasn't that it was_________ and that soon the symptoms that have you thinking the cancer may be back resolve.

Glad you have a doctor you trust. Maybe check into acupuncture to help with some of your symptoms. It may help.

I am so sorry. I hope that all goes well for you!

      I think Tierra Farms is a gluten free facility, at least that is what it says on the bag of walnuts that I have.

      All of a sudden I can't get any gluten-free nuts. There are only 2 nuts available that I can find on the market that are gluten-free. One is Mauna loa brand macadamia nuts, the other is Wonderful pistachios. Other than that all types of nuts that are plain nuts, roasted or raw are no longer gluten-free and are processed and plants that also process wheat.  Has anyone found a source for Pecans, almonds peanuts, walnuts, Pine nuts, etc that is gluten-free?

      @Xravith, How are you doing?   Two cookies are not enough.  For testing, you need to be eating a minimum of ten grams of gluten for two weeks minimum before testing for Celiac antibodies.  Ten grams of gluten is roughly five or six slices of gluten containing bread per day for two weeks minimum. Breads that contain lots of gluten typically have large bubbles formed by gases escaping during baking.  Gluten helps form those bubbles of trapped gases, like a balloon.  Artisan breads, and thick, chewy pizza crust are good examples.  Look at the size of the bubbles in cakes and cookies.  Small bubbles, so not lots of gluten in them.  You'd have to eat tons of cookies to get ten grams.   Antibodies are made in the small intestine. If you eat at least TEN grams of gluten for at least two weeks, then there will be sufficient antibodies to move into the bloodstream, which can be measured in antibody tests.   If you eat less than ten grams of gluten daily, you will get celiac symptoms, but not enough antibodies will get into the bloodstream to be measured, resulting in false negatives.  Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can also affect testing, resulting in false negatives. Since you are having such difficulty consuming sufficient quantities of gluten, you should consider getting a genetic test done.  You do not have to eat gluten to have a genetic test done.  Celiac is inherited.  It's in your genes.  Genes don't change whether you eat gluten or not.  A genetic test looks for the most common known Celiac genes.  If you do not have the genes, your doctor can look for other health conditions that can be causing symptoms.  If you do have Celiac genes, you can assume that those genes are actively causing symptoms.  An endoscopy to check for the amount of intestinal damage caused by Celiac Disease is usually done.   You should also be checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test, which checks for Thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine, Vitamin B 1, is one of the eight essential B vitamins.  Thiamine can become low quickly because our bodies use so much of it everyday.  If we're not replenishing Thiamine daily from our diet or because of malabsorption, we can become seriously ill.  Same with the other seven B vitamins.   Doctors are not familiar with nutritional deficiency symptoms as can occur in Celiac disease.  Please get checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Ask for the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test soon. Please let us know how you are doing.

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!
