12 August - Still waiting

After another phone call by Olga my treatment programme is being worked on and we have an appointment at Carlisle next Tuesday which will hopefully be the last one before treatment actually starts.

Olga is much better than me at dealing with people on the phone because with her Russian/Ukrainian manner she is not afraid to be pushy or emotional whereas I am too polite and unwilling to seem to be a nuisance or, as she puts it, too English.

  1. That's great news Julian and cheers to Olga for getting on the phone and pushing the issue. It may not sound nice but with some hospitals people are just numbers not that they want to see you that way but they see the same thing day in and day out.

  2. Julian,

    My mother is fighting non-small cell lung cancer in Ohio, and I am going to reccomend your blog to her. I find your determination and spirit to be more than admirable. She is suffering the side=effects of her chemotherapy treatment, needs to see someone else facing the same enemy, but soldiering on in spite of setbacks. I find your determination and spirit to be more than admirable. I find your frankness about your thoughts, both up and down, to be right on the money. My father died of Liver cancer in 1984, and I also have a good friend going through interferon treatment for Melanoma (which was successfully ressected, but more advanced than the oncologist was comfortable with).

  3. I hate to be the one to bring this up but have you looked into Vitamin D3 at all?

    http://www.canceractive.com/cancer-active-page-link.aspx?n=509 Forget the link to the supplement shop Iherb/Ebay is better

    Quick note on dosages You probably need to bring your Vitamin D level to 95 ng/ml Thats the 25 dihydroxycholecalciferol level in a ml of blood, and keep it there to treat and get rid of cancer.

    That means taking at least 100000 iu ( yes 5 noughts) a day for at least a month in the first instance.
