Hi guys, sorry to have been so absent lately, but I have been feeling crummy since Christmas. I had a few drinks of wine and some sugary treats, albeit mostly gluten free and got a real bad case of the bloats. My bms were getting almost non existent since September and I said to hell with it and enjoyed some holiday cheer.

I went to the ER got admitted to the hospital 2 weeks ago with severe bloating and pain...I looked like 6 months pregnant. I got diagnosed with ovarian cancer which has also spread to the spleen and omentum which is a fat covering of the large and small intestines. The tumors are too large to operate so they have to shrink them with chemo first and I had my first one yesterday.... and don't feel too bad today.

I was in the hospital for 8 days and got tested and poked and prodded and they drained off over 8 litres of fluids from my abdominal cavity. But my prognosis is not bad because I have been doing the candida diet for 4 years and my other vital organs are pretty healthy. They say that 40% of ovarian cancer sufferers are still alive after 5 years...that is better than what I thought.

I had my uterus removed 21 years ago because of precancerous cells but they left my ovaries and because they did the surgery vaginally they didn't see the condition of my ovaries...I am thinking they were diseased then, because of my lifelong chronic constipation which I have had since birth. I had to have anal fissures cauterized when I was an infant and have problems since. And thru my mercury trials and researching I have found that mercury inhibits the enzymes that digest the proteins in dairy and gluten..and that is what plugs most of us up. It accumulates in the colon and puts pressure on all of our organs and I think if you have leaky gut, pathogens get into the abdominal cavity and wreak havoc on all of the surrounding organs, including prostate glands in men. Of course you will never get a MD or dentist to admit that.

I swore I would never do the traditional chemo methods if I got cancer, but after basically doing an anti cancer diet for 4 years, which kept the cancer at bay...I figured I had better try it and then carry on with more alternative treatments if these don't succeed....didn't really have much choice....my situation is rather critical.

But I have a better attiutude now that the morphine has worn off, that is wicked stuff, but it sure felt good at the time.

The worst part of the depression and anger is gone, except I am thinking about launching a lawsuit against my MD. I have been begging him to do a CT scan or CA125 test for my ovaries cause I have had abdominal tenderness there for 4 years....he refused over and over, said it was redundant to do those tests, if they were positive it would be too late anyway. And those were the 2 tests that found the cancer. I left his office in tears and angry so many times over the last 4 years, ever since I got candida which he told me was non existant except in cancer and HIV patients.

And when I told him I had such bad constipation he told me to eat more fibre, and the lumps in my stomach were impacted fecal material...they had no pulse so they couldn't be a tumor...and guess what?.... they were the cancer. And I couldn't even find a new dr, all the good ones have left for the US where there is no socialized medicine....our medical care is going down the tubes fast. People are scared to be sick in this country.

But I am going to beat this cause I have lots of work to do in working to help spread the word about mercury....I am sure that mercury is the major factor in causing my cancer. Thank God most of it is out of me, I just have a couple of crowns and root canals to get out after I finish the chemo and have the surgery. If only I had known about mercury sooner and dealt with it then...but like my hubby says, "If " IFS and BUTS" were candies and nuts, every day would be like Christmas!"

Sorry for the length of this, but I had to share my story in the hope it will help some of you. Don't cheat on the diet and feed more yeast...it is not worth it. It would have happened sooner or later, cause my bm's were getting worse again...so maybe it was a good thing, it got me to the diagnosis quicker anyway. And the devil you know is better than the one you don't!!!!

Wish me luck.

Best love,
Sandi
