UTERINE CANCER SYMPTOMS OF A SURVIVORI feel it is necessary to outline the uterine cancer symptoms that led up to my cancer diagnosis. We all have different circumstances in our history that will give insights into preventing a recurrence, which is the goal in finding natural cancer treatments. Here is a quick outline of my uterine cancer symptoms: ---overweight from age 6 with diet high in animal fat & sugar, low in fiber ---various diet pills from age 13-20 ---car accident damages neck at age 21 with treatment of chiropractic ---high estrogen levels rule out birth control pill before wedding ---diabetic state at pregnancy resulting in 11 pound babies ---severe postpartum depression undiagnosed ---pregnancies left me obese and unable to lose the weight Can you see where this started snowballing at age 26. The signs are all there, just building for a health disaster, but I was just not paying attention! Pain, stress, prescription drugs, hormonal imbalance.........Here's more uterine cancer symptoms: ---high stress caused by business failure and financial bankruptcy ---chronic bladder infections resulting in long term antibiotics ---facial breakout resulting in months of tetracycline ---naturopath finds Candida Albicans outbreak---treatment Nystatin ---diet change and fasting relieves food allergies with weight loss result ---more stress caring for aging mother and handicapped brother ---much more stress caused by child's drug addiction at age 14 ---more stress when church divides due to doctrinal issues ---at age 44 something snaps in lower back while gardening...chronic pain I want to point out how great a role stress plays in undermining our immune system. It will knock our hormones off balance, trigger depression, and weaken all the body's functions. It should have been the biggest clue among my uterine cancer symptoms. It is critical when dealing with any kind of cancer to reduce stress. My stress came at me from all angles: children, mother, brother, church, finances, personal pain, failure in thinking I could not be all things to everyone (caretaker burnout). The story gets worse: ---September 2002 heavy menstrual periods are 3 weeks of each month ---Oct. 2002 high stress moving mother with dementia to assisted living ---Nov. 2002 doctor recommends the pill to slow constant blood flow ---Dec. 2002 move to Manteca, CA for job transfer, living in our RV ---Jan. 2003 after treatments, high pain meds, back pain stops ---2 weeks on the pill and cervical biopsy comes back negative for cancer ---Feb. 2003 hemorrhaging sends me to the emergency room, where a D&C biopsy confirms endometrial carcinoma, or uterine cancer.
Do you see here all the mistakes made by medical people who did not catch my uterine cancer symptoms correctly, and poor decisions on my part in finding what was wrong? Early detection is vital when dealing with cancer. Why was the endometrial carcinoma not discovered months earlier? A simple ultrasound would have identified the tumors! Now we really get into it:
---I start a 30 day herbal detoxification program, and surgery is scheduled (check out how this saved my gall bladder from being removed too!) ---Mar. 2003 full radical hysterectomy, appendix and lymph node removal ---Apr. 2003 chemo and radiation is rejected by me as first treatment, but my oncologist is enraged and tells me I'll be dead in 6 months ---Lord leads by friends to a bio-integrative clinic in Reno, Nevada ---May 2003 treatment starts full weeks, every other week, 6 months ---CA125 cancer marker is 34 before surgery (under 30 is normal) and six months later is has dropped to 9...fantastic that the treatment is working ---March 2004, after one year CA125 is 7, continuing therapy bi-yearly in Reno ---March 2006 natural cancer treatment is once a year to maintain an optimal pH to keep the endometrial cancer from reoccurring or metastasizing in another part of the body. I'm cancer free! Now to keep it that way! pH connection to uterine cancer symptoms! I cover in more detail individual areas of each endometrial cancer symptom and treatment on subsequent pages. Hindsight tells me I should have seen the signs of how much trouble I was really in. Circumstances and stress sidetracked me from doing things I should've known to do in diagnosing uterine cancer symptoms. I was fortunate in that a radical hysterectomy removed the cancer with my uterus. That's not always possible. Though it had spread to my lymph nodes, making it Stage IV endometrial carcinoma, the natural cancer treatment I choose kept it from moving to other areas. I urge you to treat the whole body, not just the cancer or disease. Be aware of your own body, and use treatments of all kinds, because no single doctor knows everything!
