So here was my idea. Given that I have 4 weeks to get my body into shape for surgery, I thought I'd go along to see a GP at the natural medicine hospital in Hawthorn. I thought that they could do something about my swelling, since nobody else could - maybe stick an acupuncture needle in it to pop my skin and release the pressure - that would be cool.
But no, try celery root. Okay, and vitamin c with zinc intravenously. Interesting. So the high dose Vitamin c is supposed to help the cells and the body repair itself and reduce the free radicals that the chemo and radiotherapy launch into the body for their full scale attack on the bad cells. So the free radicals are stimulated by a particular type of cell to eat up the dead cancer cell debris. I feel a lot better knowing that we are doing things in reverse and given that radiotherapy can give you cancer, By removing all that cell tissue afterwards gives me some peace of mind about the recurrence risk.
I just have to get my head around sitting in a room of healing chairs for 40 minutes with yet another cannula in my arm. It's too much like chemotherapy, but with a healing purpose.....Bbbrrrrrrr. Need more information before I decide to go ahead, in the meantime I'll take vitamin c tablets.
