Ernie is off oral chemo drugs! He has been off intravenous chemo since last year!! Alleluia Praise God for His love mercy and healing!
Latest PET CT and MRI tests all show continuous regression of 2 lung lesions and resolution of the others. Stable pubic bone lesion. His spirit in high and he feels on top of the world! We had multiple visits with 3 other pulmonologists for 2nd, 3rd opinion and confirmed what Dr Gorospe said - no need for more chemo (more will do more harm than good), everything stable for months now! Ernie will be closely monitored (chest x-ray in April) then another lung CT in June. Ideally the check-ups will be spaced longer and longer apart.
We are advised to "continue doing what we are doing" - the integrative and natural side of healing!! I have ordered another 4 new books from the US and devouring the information. I have learned that God made the human body so wonderfully, it's immune system is designed to protect the body from virus, bacteria and cancer and all forms of invaders that pose a threat to our health. We UNDERESTIMATE how powerful this immune system is - properly fortified with all the elements to keep it strong - it can battle and win over any disease!
On top of massive supplementation with natural and organic sourced vitamins, minerals, plant concentrate and herbs (which costs a fortune monthly!) - he is also drinking his fresh juice concoction but now 13 glasses a day - or 3 liters! He is taking digestive enzymes, pancreatic enzymes and probiotics to create the best environment for nutrients from food to be absorbed by the body. The digestive tract is the heart of the immune system. That goes wrong....everything goes wrong. Unfortunately, it is during chemo, the very cells that line the digestive system and keep it functioning well... are destroyed. No wonder many patients die from chemo side effects (malnutrition) than from the cancer itself! What irony.
We trust in the LORD! We hope in the LORD!......
"The Lord is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life - of whom shall be afraid?
When eveil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes
attack me,
they will stumble and fall" Psalm 27 1-3
God bless you!

A Night to Remember
My High School - College of the Holy Spirit Manila (Mendiola) celebrated it's centennial year with a 2day unforgettable bash and homecoming with thousands of alumnae spanning many decades from all over the globe. Our decade was the 70's! The celebration culminated with a Gala Night, ala Broadway presentation of A HUNDRED YEARS OF HOLY, great dinner buffet and reunion with many many long lost classmates at the SMX Convention Center in MOA! And yes dancing! Wait....this guy dancing to the music of Spirit of '67, someone said he has a bone and lung problem and is sick?? Hmmm...I don't think so! Watch him dance away, truly a night to remember! - Olive with Ernie and some of my batchmates.
