Today I spent much of the day telephoning my friends and letting them know of my illness.
Strangely, one friend asked if he could come visit me.
He came right over with a large amount of super vitamins, minerals & some herbs. He also brought me a large book, Natural Healing.
It has a wealth of information in it. I spent some time studying it. Decisions still had to be made.

Easter Sunday, 3/31/2002

We went to church for Easter services. After church I began to review the medication the doctors had put me on.

DEXAMETHASON 4MG
Dose: take one-half tablet four times daily.
CAUTIONS: THIS MEDICINE MAKES YOU MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO ILLNESS

In otherwords, it can supress the immune system.
Well I might be losing my mind, but it seems this is the opposite of what my fight is about. I'm trying to build up my immune system while the medication is doing the opposite.
I didn't know that when you say, FIGHT IT, Don't give up, it meant fighting the doctors.

The other medication is:

DILANTIN  100MG
Dose: Three capsules at bedtime.

Well, this one isn't as bad but I still don't like it.

Well I decided to withdraw from the DEXAMETHASON on my own.
I skipped two doses.

I Have an appointment with one of the doctors who was supposed to start radiation.
I changed the appointment to a consultation appointment. The big decision to make is,,, Should I avoid chemotherapy & radiation?.

Well, after consultation, I was assured that what I said was correct. It can supress the immune system, but not in small dosage or short time use. So I agreed to continue taking this medication.

My fight increases. Doctord say I can take any vitamin, mineral, herbs that I want. My current vitamin, mineral, herb intake is increased to levels that would distress anyone that was not ill. but, I don't think anyone ever died from vitamin overdose.

Still haven't decided if I should take the radiation/chemotherapy.

Tuesday evening.

My, how word gets around. I received a call from an old friend in Chicago whom I haven't seen for over 30 years.
That was good medicene its self.

That's all for now, Need my rest...
