Guest guest Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 Jan, I'm so sorry to hear of your health problem and i will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I wish I had some good information to give you, but I will leave that to anyone out there who is more knowledgeable than me on this subject. I'll be thinking of you on the 2nd. Ruth VanBlankenstein vanb@... January 29, 2003 250/123 Thyroid Cancer Challenge My Fellow MGBers, I was diagnosed with a malignant tumor on my thyroid on December 18th this year. I have been struggling with this news and all that it implies and have asked many of you to pray with me concerning my healing and the direction God would have for me to take in response to this news. My specific request was that you would all agree with me that God will touch me and make me whole so that when they do the CT scan on me January 2, there will be no sign of the tumor. I am still asking for this point of agreement. (God has promised us that if we delight ourselves in Him, He will give us the desires of our heart.) In the meantime, I am continuing to learn more about all of my options with regard to meeting this challenge. The conventional medical wisdom is that I should have a total removal of the thyroid and all of the surrounding lymph nodes, to be followed in a few weeks with a radical radioactive iodine treatment. I have no peace about this form of treatment and have inquired of the Lord as to what I should do. Several people have told me about alternative methods of treating this cancer by converting my body from an acidic base to an alkaline base so that the cancer will be destroyed. One way to help this is to change my diet, abstaining from any foods with preservatives or chemicals, and do a lot of juicing. The idea is to do a total detox and provide a cancer hostile environment. I have had several friends who have done this and are now cancer free and living a healthier lifestyle than ever before. My question to all of you is, have any of you been faced with these choices since having the MGB? I know that finding a method of getting around the fact that our bodies don't absorb nutrients like other people's is going to be challenging. I am now taking liquid minerals and am ordering liquid vitamins that have the equivalent of several servings of fruits and vegetables in a single serving. I am ordering a product called cellular DX that is supposed to help convert your body from an acidic environment to an alkaline one. I have ordered the Isopure Whey Protein, as well. If any of you have input about testimonies of others that have met this challenge with unconventional plumbing such as ours, please pass them along. In the meantime, I covet your continued prayers and friendship. You have been such a blessing to me. Please know thatI am at peace. Blessings upon you... Jan Teel Charlotte, NC MGB 10/21/02 (-68 lb.)

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 Hi Ms. T, In my younger (;-) days I was a Thyroid cancer Surgeon. Although no one wants cancer Most of the thyroid cancers do great with treatment. I would see a surgical specialist who does lots of thyroid surgery and feel good about going ahead with treatment. Thyroid removal if done by a high volume thyroid surgeon is usually not too bad. Peace. Dr. Rutledge, M.D., F.A.C.S. P.S. Happy New Year.
