Its one of my favourite songs at the moment, download it here song here, I hope you like it and it helps you see the silver lining even in challenging situations. So I faxed off current bloods and tumour markers todoctornesslehut in preparation for todays blood draw for vaccine 6. I called to confirm the appointment and its 9am. So I plan to get to sleep real early and wake up 3am and drive to nesslehuts. I somehow woke about 2.58am, I laid in bed for a minute knowing the alarm would sound any second. How my brain knows to wake me for such a life and death appointment I will never understand, but a marvel at the coincidence. I am up, say my prayers, pack a few bits and pieces for the day trip. I plan to return that evening. I take some gcmaf yogurt, I have my sheeps brains. I pack the car with sports bag, sauna gear, freezer box, drug bag and water bottles and I leavehallwang 3.34am. I arrived duderstadt at 7.33am. The top speed was 189 which is a record for the ford. It must have cost about 100 euro in fuel. It was a peaceful drive and I did not feel tired, I expect to have a sleep during local hyperthermia. Its nice to arrive 90 minutes early, not often for me.
The early bird gets the worm, I asked if I could have 5 minutes with nesslehut junior, senior is not in today. Cindy says yes, she saw my blood tests and said they were low. Its nice to know the faxes are read, its better to know that I am liked , I am cared for by all the nurses and its that extra care and the awareness that goes with it, that’s going to help save mylife from this challenging, persistent illness.
The highlight of the drive was the silver moon and the stars. It look magnificent driving through the black forest and the moon and then my song playing. The next highlight was this amazing orange glow on the horizon, I was speeding towards it. I realisedits another dawn, how blessed am i. I thought of the other 6 billion souls I would share this day with, how aware are they, how healthy are they. I wonder if all my cancer friends would find some beauty and joy during this day. The orange glow was stunning as I spped along the autobahn, as I rose higher in the sky , the autobahn itself steamed to head straight to the sunrise, then the road appeared to covered in brilliant cooper. I slowed a little and breathed deeply as I realised this was the second glorious site I had seen and the dawn had only just broke.
Its fun zipping past all the other cars on the autobahn, I wondered why they were going so slow. Then my other favourite song comes on “I go to extremes”. I hope you like it.song here I thought my approach to cancer, to driving and to life is based around that song, going to extremes. That’s why what I do regarding treatment is right for me, but likely not appropriate for you. Hallwang offers the best care as a starting point and also fantastic ongoing service.
I thought of my wife and kids during the drive, I wonder how they are getting on, I am so curious. But I know my healing adventure is for me alone at this point. I need the flexibility to move fast and as needed between clinics and treatments.
I have spotted an extreme rise in systemic inflammation, and I have taken iv omega 3 infusion and a range of oral oils to reduce it, as well as broccoli sprout powder and heaps of my antiinflamatory supplements. I will do the tumour markers, and blood tests here at nesslehuts and hopefully Dr Freds new Brussels test. It will be interesting to see if the cea from nesslehut lab is closer to hallwang or siebenhuener.
The drop in my white bloods, might mean I go off xelodacompletely for a week, after all I have drvogeltace 7 coming up on the 13thaugust. Given the low white bloods, I suspect I will be offered DC and gamma delta again. Time will tell.
My life is charmed, i am blessed!
