Psalm 119:105

Psalm 119:105. "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."

Sometimes we do not get the message that we had hoped for. I had hoped that my cancer was gone but it is not. Good news is that is has not spread. Bad news is that after chemo my tumor level had dropped from 4.7 to 3.7 last month to 9.9 yesterday. What caused this? I don't know but I am thinking that I have allowed my diet to get worse and that I need to be aware of what foods to avoid and what foods to eat. I know that I have allowed sugar back into my diet and I also know from doing research today that cancer cannot survive in an alkaline environment. That translates into what I have known but was getting away from...eating a plant based diet. Not as radical as it sounds but when you have cancer, some foods are toxic to you that would not harm someone without cancer. Please pray that by eating the right foods, my CEA level does not increase, but even decreases. If it does, then I know that I am on the right path.

Dr Parapatti said that we could start chemo again or wait for a month to see what happens. I asked her if we could recheck the tumor level (the CEA level) in two weeks and she agreed. I will let you know if anything changes.
