OK. So it was a play on words, but both are correct anyway. (IVE - the treatment and I’ve - I have)

 

If you have read the introduction, you will know that my 9th July 2004 PET scan showed that it had returned, and that the only treatment available (IVE) would not beat it, just try and control it; but that’s not how things played out.

 

I took the treatment offered, but it had to be stopped around October time as the side effects were annoying everybody and meant that I was getting treatment week 1, going into hospital week 2 and coming out just in time to start it all again. It was decided to give me a break until January 2005 when I would have one more followed by another PET Scan.

 

Surprisingly this time I didn’t end up in hospital. Things went better than ever and I was going around telling everyone that this treatment (January) would be my last as I was finally cured. I don’t know where this came from, but I felt it very strongly so I suppose I believed it.

 

My next PET scan was scheduled for 11th March 2005 and when the results were available they showed nothing, nada, zip, zero, zilch, nothing, not even a pin head, not even something smaller than a pin head - no cancer anywhere to be found in my body. Am I being clear enough?

 

I don’t know what to believe. I had attacked it head on with a change of diet, daily visualisations, IVE treatment and an extremely positive mental attitude, so I assume that one or all of them worked in some way to rid my body of my little annoyance.

 

It’s now June when I write this, and I apologise for not updating sooner, however, I feel great, my hair is growing again, I’m eating well (too well), and I’m exercising. So what this means is that all you out there in the great internet ether who may be suffering or know someone who is can take some hope from this.

 

On 29th July 2004 I was given my results by my haematologist and told that the future was very bleak and after taking everything offered to me, I beat the odds and I beat the cancer, so I guess the advice has to be ...

 

Don’t give up and be as positive as it’s possible to be.
