Thank you, updates, calcium normal, and a few more questions

Thank you for your detailed response, James.

We have started giving her the Bone and Joint Formula earlier this week, in addition to adding silica to her water. My brother is also hiving her Vitamin C and a few other herbs and minerals specifically for her bones. A new Rife unit came in the other day (it seems like the other one became faulty) and she started using it again last night. Frequency: 666; Wave: square; 1 hour every night -- are these the correct parameters?

We will also try increasing the dosage to 45-50 ug. Is it better to increase the dosage, increase the rate (times per day), or both? Also, I'm not sure if my brother has asked this earlier, but if our mom is getting 3 treatments per day, what are the best spacing intervals? She typically does it every 5-6 hours, sometimes every 7, but rarely a clean every 8 hours, if ever.

Part of the reason why I asked about the proper calculation of the tumor size is that I was wondering whether one of the dimensions is more important than others; I'm not sure if it's better if the height, width, or length decreases, or if they all play an equal part in the calculation of the tumor. I've read somewhere that the height is sometimes not given because it is unnecessary to calculate the size with it, which does not make any sense to me considering that it is a three-dimensional object. I've also read otherwise, and that an ellipsoid is the proper formula for measuring a tumor's volume. But is it a tumor's decrease in volume that normally suggests progress, or the measurement in a certain direction that is typically more important?

When it comes to meat, she usually eats organic, or at the very least, no Antibiotics /no growth hormones added meat. I realize that all meats still have some hormones naturally, but how much of a difference are the added hormone meat vs. the organic or natural variety?

You said to keep sugars to a minimum, but should she have fruit and real fruit juices (no sucrose added)? I assume that White Sugar /corn syrup and fruit Sugar have different impacts on cancer growth. Or should she try to avoid fruits and juices?

When you said "The only thing I saw of concern was the still pretty high SUV of the one mass":
//www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1889234#i Which mass are you referring to? The breast? What do you make of the fact that the lesion in her throat has a higher SUV than that of her breast?

I'm a little concerned about her right arm. Her lymph nodes are not swollen, which I thought may have been the reason for her pretty swollen arm and slightly swollen hand. She constantly keeps her hand arm (her right breast is the affected breast) raised horizontally across her chest or abdomen because bringing it up or down is extremely painful. It has been like this since the beginning of the summer, pretty much since starting ozone therapy. But her arm movement has been gradually improving. What do you think this is, though?

Would you be able to take a look at the images from the new PET scan? It would be easiest, I think, if we were to mail it you physically, as you can see all of the images, then. (For whatever reason, copying all of the files off the disc does not allow me to view them. I can only view them straight off the disc.) If you are able to do this, please PM me the address that you'd like me to send it to. Maybe I can fit it into an envelope that USPS will accept.

P.S. My brother saw the doctor with my mom this past Monday. She first said that nothing seems to have improved, but after my brother pointed out the decrease in volume, lower SUV levels, less skin thickening, and everything else, she agreed that her condition has improved. I don't know why she was so inattentive about these differences, but at least she pretty much said to keep doing what we're doing, so she won't be scaring my mom with chemotherapy, I think. Maybe she suspects that what we're doing will help more than chemo (she was already surprised about what looks like the dying of her infection), but cannot really come out and say it for whatever reason.

EDIT 1: My mom took a blood test this past Monday, 12/5/11. Her calcium is within the normal range: 9.4 mg/dL. Here is a list of the abnormal results:

Glucose: 133 mg/dL (up from 105 from 9/28/11)
Creatinine: 0.72 (up from 0.6 on 9/28/11)
CA-125: 290.2 (up from ~210 in late October)
CA 27.29: 407.2 (down from 900+ in late October)
CA 15-3: 480.3

While the CA-125 tumor marker went up by about 1/3, her CA 27.29 levels have been cut in half since late October. For perspective, her CA 27.29 levels were ~1050 a few months before that, so there has been a much more significant drop since late October than from the summer to late October.

What might the creatinine and glucose numbers suggest? She did get glucose into her blood by IV for the PET scan on 11/29/11. Can that be affecting it? Tweet
