Finally most of the waiting is over and therapy has begun. It took a while for the specialists to figure out what type of Lymphoma we’re dealing with.
The word is out and it’s a Type 2B Mediastinal Grey Zone Lymphoma. Grey Zone because the tumor has signs of Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and is pretty rare. As a healthy guy and athlete, chemotherapy definitely sounds like the worst thing you can put in your body and there was no way I wanted to do that. As soon as I got diagnosed the search began for the most healthy and natural way to kick these malignant cells out of my body. Unfortunately with this seldom type of Lymphoma there is no time to take any risk, even though I still believe I would survive being treated the alternative holistic way of healing with natural medicine, combined with the healing, meditation and yoga exercises.
Then again everything happens for a reason and it isn’t for nothing I ended up at Stanford with some of the best specialists around. Yesterday they gave me the rundown on the therapy treatment. The therapy is called REPOCH. It’s a cycle of five different drugs running through me for five days straight. Then I will be in recovery for two weeks (out of hospital) and then again chemo, for six cycles in total (hopefully, if not less!).
I will probably lose my hair, which is obviously the least of my worries, but I just want to pull through the healthiest way possible. That’s why I eat and supplement event healthier than before and can’t wait to get out of the hospital to get some proper rest and find my comfort zone for this mission. I likely fly home in the following week if all is stable.
Of course I have a great travel insurance that takes care of the medical costs, but there will obviously be so many more costs related to getting to the level where I want to be. Flying high and looping the shit out of it!!! YES PLEASE… bring on that storm!!! I can’t wait to feel the wind, taste the cold salty water, get up to full speed and launch myself into the air as high as possible… FREEEEE!!!!
It is in my nature to always share and give… asking for support feels weird, but I know it is essential for me to take care of myself in the best way possible. Being in the right place, surrounding myself with the right people and having the best quality care, treatment and nutrition is what will make me stronger than ever before.
Feeling very grateful to be in a position with so much caring, sharing, loving and healing all over.
LOVE!
