I have just been diagnosed with MM 2 weeks ago. Although my Oncologist would like for me to start treatment after the New Year, I am very positive that I do NOT want chemotherapy. I am in a lot of pain now. I know the chemo will just put me down. My eGFR is 15, so I am really reluctant at trying traditional meds. I am hoping that the Holistic remedies will help. I would appreciate any advice!
ReplyHi YaYa-
I am sorry to learn of your diagnosis of MM. Managing your MM may be difficult depending on your stage and symptoms. Complementary therapies such as nutrition, supplementation, exercise, HBOT, sauna, intravenous vitamin C, TCM, acupuncture, others, can be helpful. I don’t see chemo as yes or no but more as a matter of which therapies and what the dose is of those therapies.
Good luck,

ReplyI have was diagnosed with smoldering Multiple Myeloma. I did not want chemo, or radiation, or a bone marrow transplant. I started eating a mostly raw food diet instead. I had a couple blood tests since and my MM was being controlled with my counts slowly heading in the right direction. The oncologist was encouraged by my blood counts and said he wanted to see me again in 6 months.Then I had a very stressful three months with lots of problems in which I did not stick as strictly to a raw food diet as I did previously. I also injured my back at work, which was very painful and added to my stress. It was taking weeks to heal.This injury made me consult my doctor. That led to X-rays, and another blood test. My numbers were much worse than in the previous two blood tests. Some of my numbers, which were already higher than normal, actually doubled! I have an appointment to meet with my oncologist in a few days. I expect him to tell me I must now get chemo, and other traditional therapies, or I will die.
I wonder if it is too late for me to turn things around holistically if I am willing to be more stringent with a natural cancer-fighting raw food diet?
