60 day re-cap

july 2nd, i was told i have cancer  , Squamous Cell carcinoma. 3.3 cm tumor..  with health insurance, my options were have my tonsils taken out, then be radiated, and then get Chemo.. the projected  side effects were unacceptable, so i "walked away"

i studied, and decided to try food & vitamins.. at least for the same amount of time , that the  first "treatment" would have taken.. basically  until  october  16th..

i am at the  1/2 way mark, i feel fantastic physically , still have some mental "dents" from having cancer, but i'm pulling out of that depressive dip..  i have  no side effects , well no  BAD ones.

i went public with my cancer , because i figured  i'd get  help and advice from many different people & places..  good idea otto !!!

i received  "links"  to look at , and  websites  to visit.. and my support network is growing nicely.

my program is working.  i am fully confident ,, and in october , when i go back to be  re-tested, as long as the tumor is smaller, and i still feel great , then i get to continue  with what i'm doing..

if i am  "cancer free'  or  "no evidence of disease" , then even better..
