Dr. Sutter...

What a day. Today I went and had a ct-scan and bone scan done. I was exhausted after taking the barium drinks (yech!) and took a three hour nap afterwards. Then I checked my phone and, low-and-behold, the doctor and the hospital left me four messages trying to get a hold of me. They now want to do an MRI this monday after having a radiology consult. I didn't get to talk to my doctor but his nurse told me they already called in a script for a steroid to reduce inflammation. I knew the scans wouldn't be 'good'. My family, my friends, and my boyfriend are going to freak out when they find the scans aren't good and that I'm going to refuse conventional treatment. I know they're going to want to pump me full of steroids, radiation, and chemo. It's difficult knowing the fear/panic and doubt my loved ones will feel because of my choices. They must think I'm taking a serious and ignorant gamble with my health.

Sigh. I think it's interesting how the nurse just assumes I'm going to pick up the script immediately. It's not like I'm being asked if this is ok by me. In fact, if I hadn't even asked her what the script was for (inflammation) she probably wouldn't have told me. God! I'm realizing how IMPORTANT it is to take my health into my hands. This doesn't mean to refuse all medical care, just that it has to make sense to me first, then I can decide. Crazy crazy stuff.

Anyway, Doc. Thanks for the info. Yes. I am having major problems emptying my stomach and liver. I was so bloated last night I couldn't sleep. I tried massaging my liver and stretching and I couldn't hear the gurgle... Eventually the bloating went down, but then I had to assault my system with the barium today and that did a number on my intestines... I REALLY want to do the liver flush as soon as possible. This bloating is getting intense. I've started the barefoot's dewormer yesterday. So here we go...

You don't mind holding my hand through this for awhile, do ya? It's scary.

Thanks for the hope,
G

Oh, and here's the link to those multi-vit's I'm taking. I think they're really good. At the bottom of the page is what's in them and the quantity. But if you could please glance at it cuz I don't know what's synthetic and what's not...
