My scan still continues to be stable! After the last one in February, UCLA said that I could wait 2 months instead of 3 to get another scan. I’ve been doing treatment only once a week, so it’s great to know I can stay stable and not have to live my life around treatment. Dr. Nigh still has me doing DMSO and a high dose of vitamin C. Other than that, just a few supplements and a lot of green tea! I’ve also been doing his elimination diet, which I recommend everybody doing at least once to find out if you have any unknown food allergies. It’s amazing the random symptoms that go away, such as sinusitis, when doing this diet and finding out which foods don’t agree with your body. You can buy the ebook here and it explains how to do it. Well worth the $20, especially if you’re experiencing any symptoms of any kind in your body.

Chsrysse,
Great blog! And thank you for your recent comments, they mean a lot. It sounds like you’re doing well and being UCLA is great – a fine place for God to plant you if one has this condition. So many advancementsare coming from UCLA/Cedars as you well know.
I’m pray for you and your family. Having a steadfast faith in God and our future, no matter how hard it gets is so important and I know you hae that. Of everything I’ve learned, it’s that this isn’t about us, it’s about others and to the extent I wrap my head around that I find much more hapiness, giving, joy and peace. It answers questios like “why?” not that we should care much. We are where we are, right? We can accept, surrender and fight or curl up and cry. We choose the the former :). The best to you. You are in our prayers. Keep pressing. YOU inspire me!!

Dear Charysse, Just want to let you know we are praying for you up here in Alaska. You are an incredible young woman. This blog and your beautiful writing touches so many. God Bless you and yours. Love, Corrine Rago (Mama Fuji)
Hi Charyse!
Just found your blog as I was researching online. My husband, John, was diagnosed with a grade 2 oligoastocytoma in June of 2005 and his scans have come back clear until this last one, in which they see some small growth.
We went to Stella Maris Clinic in Mexico in April of 2006 and had intraveous C and DMSO treatments for 3 weeks. Wanting to do it again (but financially difficult)
May I ask where you are getting your treatments? Are you going to Dr. Nigh in Oregon for those?
I saw you speak of UCLA, so figured you must be out here in CA too. We’re in Panorama City.
I know you’re a busy gal … but would appreciate any in formation on that you could give me.
Thanks and God Bless you, sister,
Trudy
