Progress

I want to update you on our progress.  My last post was less than encouraging, I know, but I was honest about my thoughts and feelings and I felt that I needed to express and share.  I received so much encouragement as a result, which I needed so badly and I am extremely appreciative for all the responses I received!

Yesterday we had an appointment with a Naturapath here in Toledo.  She had been recommended to us by the Naturapath we were seeing at CTCA so we concluded that this was a credible suggestion.  Her name is Dr. White and she is located in West Toledo.  Arnie had talked to her several times on the phone and she told him what information she would need from us so he gathered all that together and off we went to see her.

Two hours later, we left her office - totally impressed and satisfied that she is exactly the same caliber of person we saw at CTCA with the addition of a dietician.  The dietician at CTCA was a separate person who we also talked to often, but Dr. White will fill the capacity of both people we saw at CTCA.

Her approach to cancer treatment seems to reflect the approach that CTCA has - that you treat the entire person who has cancer - not just the disease.  We really questioned her - comparing her answers to what we had gotten from CTCA and we were totally satisfied with her answers and comments.  Those of you who know Arnie, know that he REALLY quizzed her!! She was equal to the task and provided us with good information.

We will return to see her in a week after she goes over our situation, to give us her recommendations.  I feel that the supplements have made such a difference in the quality of life.  We were told that it is much more beneficial for the body to fight the cancer rather than to fight the side effects so we do everything we can to make those side effects minimal and manageable.  It really does make a difference!

Please keep us in your prayers.  I will keep you posted.  Thanks to you again for all your support and encouragement!
