Needless
to say I Googled the surgeon as I have with every doctor who is
involved in my treatment. I was quite pleased to find someone locally
with such credentials. He graduated from MIT, was voted surgeon of the
year 2010, had written a couple books, was published in several
medical journals, and currently reviews articles that other surgeons
have submitted for publication in his field.I had an appointment with
him this past Monday afternoon April 20. I decided to call the Willis
Eye Center in Philadelphia and the person who answered the phone let me
know that there was a possibility of treatment and that the size of my
tumor (15mm x 21mm x 12mm) was borderline of being too large. She said
Dr. Shields would have to see me first before making that determination.
I went on to say I wish I didn't live in ______ . and she said _____
Pennsylvania I said no ________ Illinois. She said that's no problem we
are connected to five major airlines and two Hotels and we will fly you
out here round-trip, put you in a room for a couple days, and it will
only cost you. food. She went on to let me know that I need to see my
local doctor to prepare for surgery and if they decide to treat me I
will be there for about nine days.I then commented how nice that it was
she said "Dr. and Mrs. Shields
really care about their patients. and they are number one" I said they
must
really treat you well for you to give them that kind of a compliment,
to
say they are number one is a very great compliment, and she said no I'm
not saying
they're number one, I'm saying if you check their credentials they are
the
number one ocular oncologist on the planet. I said with excitement " Oh
they're really number one." and she replied yes they are number one.
THE DILEMMA
So
this is my dilemma and why I'm asking for continued prayer. Even though
this sounded wonderful and gave me such hope after finding out that
very morning that the melanoma was contained in my eye. I didn't want to
take a risk of it spreading later in life. One of the questions I asked
my surgeon
Monday afternoon was " if I decide to go to the Willis clinic, am I
taking
a chance of the melanoma spreading?" He said." Charles I will be
honest, with
any kind of treatment besides the enucleation, there's going to be a
greater chance for spreading. This is why we don't biopsy it till it's
detached from your body." I decided to call the Willis Clinic today and
ask her if this was true and she said the Dr. would have to see me
first. I then told her what my Surgeon had said and asked her if this
was true and she said yes.
WEIGHING THE OPTIONS
I am so very sorry for the length of this letter. I just wanted
everyone to be on the same page as me. I am so very thankful for
everyone's prayers and can't help but think there very well could have
been cancer elsewhere in my body but the prayers of many Saints shook
Heaven itself and Jesus healed me of it. I say this because the look on
his face as he insisted on the c t test and lowered my % chances of
survival was grim. My friend who was with me concurred he was very sure
it was elsewhere because this type of rare cancerous tumor seldom starts
in the eye and spreads but is normally the results of melanoma
elsewhere that spreads to the eye and especially because of the size. (
about the size of my thumb, first knuckle to tip)
I
once again plead for your prayers one more time. Since the day of my
first diagnosis 3-18-15 I started what I call the Daniel diet:
(Dan
1:15 And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and
fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the
king's meat. )
Cancer loves a
high acidity level in your body and hates high Alkaline. So I've had no
meat of any kind, sugar, chlorinated water, coffee, alcohol, cheese,
carbonated soda, or drinkable dairy products since that day. I have
combined this with the Budwig diet ( see link below) which is a must
read for anyone wanting to save a loved one from cancer. Johannah Budwig
nominated 7 times for the Nobel Peace and was Europe's premier cancer
researcher for decades. She simply combined an omega 3 fatty acid with a
certain protein and it destroys cancer at the cellular level.
Testimonies are astounding .....stage 4 brain cancer, literally only
hours to live, started it and lived over 25 years. It has cured all the
biggies lung, liver, pancreas, melanoma, etc. and shrinks tumors also.
You can also find this information on Neill's web sites.
THE PLEA
I have said all this to say my next Dr appointment is May 8th to get
cleared for Surgery ( needed for both options ) and I'm leaning toward
enucleation unless I get clear conformation from The Lord to go to the
Willis Clinic. This means they will schedule the surgery very soon after
May 8th. I will have the tumor measured to see if it is starting to
shrink just before and if there's noticeable progress we'll do it every
30 days. I plead one more time for everyone to agree with me in prayer
again, to shake the heavens ( if I may be so bold to ask) and have My
Jesus either give me clear direction, shrink the tumor, or my most
preferable outcome.....total healing. Thank you in advance for all your
support in this, what is now the largest trial of my life as I am
literally fighting for my very life.
