I have been like a dog to a bone- determined to find something to hang my hat on - what could be the next best thing to help me out?
My research has led me to practices such as CYBERKNIFE and PROTON THERAPY. These sound like science fiction but are available throughout the rest of the world-just not in the lucky country-Australia!
I have initiated contact with some medical tourism companies, but initial feedback is that my situation is probably too far down the track- my tumours have metastatized too extensively throughout my abdomen for even these high technology procedures to be on the very safe side.
This is hard to process, but it is early days yet. I have a friend Karen, who has been battling LMS for several years and has had surgeries, cyberknife, radiation, chemo and is still giving the illness a really hot go! She is a true champion. Her blog is incredible!
I am also going to investigate radiowavetherapy, another alternative treatment which is available in Perth, Australia.
I have nothing to lose, and lots to gain. I am not going to give up, not by a long shot. The reality check ofcourse is that I am now feeling it - and am working out how to ease in to pain management effectively.
One day at a time....
Love Your Life,
Georgia
