At Last, I Am Cancer-Free Now

                        At Last, I Am Cancer-Free Now

Three weeks after my 6th and final chemo last February 14, 2013, I never experienced any untoward ill-effect in my post chemotherapy period which I normally did in my 5 previous  chemo necessitating hospitalizations with critical condition on two occasions because of fever, cytotoxic-induced neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, aggravated by atrial flutters and fibrillations leading to septic shock.   

I went to see my Oncologist last March 7 for my first follow up. I was told that I have a complete remission from my stage 4b Lymphoma but cautioned me that there's is still a possibility,  it will recur since my Lymphoma was a fast growing beta-cell Follicular Lymphoma.  I need to have monthly follow-up for two years with monthly flushing of my Porta-cath, imbedded in my left chest,  with normo-saline solution (NSS)  and Heparin to prevent clogging.  I was also told I can now travel,  no more food restrictions and no need to wear my mask anymore which I wore for almost 6 months during the course of my chemotherapy.

To all who are suffering from Lymphoma, be initial or terminal stage,  or any cancers, remember,  DO NOT LOSE HOPE.  HAVE FAITH IN GOD.  " Whatever you asked for in prayer, with FAITH, you will received." Matthew 21:22.   " Do not be impatient for the LORD to act! Travel steadily along HIS path. HE will honor you, giving what you ask for. You will see the wicked destroyed."  Psalm 37:34.  "With GOD everything is possible."  Matthew 19:26.   Open the door of your heart and invite Jesus into your life and accept HIM as your LORD and SAVIOR. Amen!

This is a must to do : Think positive,  stay away from crowded places,  always wear mask,  constant brisk walking exercise twice daily for 30 minutes,  adequate and good nutrition,  good oral hygiene (L-Glutamine and Chlorhexidine),  adequate rest and sleep and DO NOT FORGET to take health food supplements and vitamins to  help boost your immune system, to increase vigor and vitality and increase resistance to stress and fatigue. Take HemoHIM+, two sachets daily and these will be enough to keep you healthy and free from the dreaded side effects of chemotherapy.   It will also stabilize your blood sugar. (please see  and read my previous articles on (My Fight with Lymphoma- A Survivor,  How Did I  Prepare Myself for Chemotherapy,  HemoHIM+ - The Miracle Food Supplement and At Last, Another Advantage of HemoHIM+  Can be Told.)

But most important is, you must have a loving and caring care-giver or nurse, if able to have one,  in my case case, MY SON, who sacrificed a lot to come all the way from afar to take care and look after me for 6 months.  Of course the support of your love ones and family, relatives and friends are equally important.  

I want to share my personal experiences to all hoping to give hope to all those who are suffering from different kinds of cancers.  If  it worked in me and I am sure it will also work in you. TRY IT!
