New Doctor and more tests

We went today to Preventative Medicine Group which is a preventative based on nutrition and getting the damaging chemicals out of ones body. It was very good as the doctor, who is 80 was a heart doctor for over 40 years. He seems like a very intelligent man who can bring things down to simple terms for construction guys like me. Ellie Betts recommended the place. Patti and I have both seen the vast difference in her health since going there. Most of the test are blood ones to determine heavy metals in my system, cancer cells and their make up, heart, lungs and thermography to determine if I have any cancer forming in the area it originally was at. Used mainly for women's breast examination it can detect tumors and growth years before they become noticeable. I basically had the partial mastectomy so he feels this will tell us what, if anything, that might be in the area. He said after the exam that overall I look healthy and my skin is of a good thickness which relates to aging. He decided on the alternative methods when he has seen how the modern chemical way of treating cancer just has not been working. He is firmly of the mind (and so are the other doctors although they just hint at it) is the body will take care of itself if it is put back in balance and you maintain a good healthy diet and exercise. Oh yeah, and get the stress, where possible, out of your life. I firmly believe my cancer is gone and will work to keep it that way. God has given me a good body up to this point and I really feel he was pointing me in the right direction on stopping the interferon. I have a real peace with my decision and how I feel about my body.

Continue to pray for Pastor Brad and Debbie Quick. They have many decisions to make on his melanoma treatments coming up real soon. Pray for me for continued building of strength and endurance. I have some, but not what I had before all this started.

Two more things. I scared the begeebers out of myself on Sunday morning while taking a shower. I felt this big long growth in my right armpit and thought "oh no, not again." Then I checked my left armpit and found the same thing. I am getting my muscle (or tenon or whatever it is) back. The surgeon said it would probably take a year for the stuff to come back and it is less than 5 months.

I feel great and am back to work for the first time in several months. Steve T has done a great job of keeping things together and advancing on our plans more rapidly than I could have hoped for. I guess that means more money for me when I sell it off to him so I can live the retired life like my friends. (right)
