IMPRESSION:
2. Prominent lymph nodes seen adjacent to the LEFT colon mass likely representing regional nodal metastasis.
3. No evidence of distant metastatic disease however evaluation of the liver is limited because of contrast phase.

I went to a nutritionist yesterday at the recommendation of my primary care doctor. I told her that I have been eating broccoli on a regular basis now and made other drastic dietary changes (I was also diagnosed with diabetes within the past month). She actually told me to cut down on the broccoli. Sorry, but I know people who have reversed Stage IV cancers naturally with hard core raw foods vegan diet, supplementation, and exercise, so I have absolutely no faith in a nutritionist who recommends cutting down on broccoli.
I'm even on the fence about surgery and most definitely about chemo, so this is a very hard slog for me!

They will be the ones to save your life if you're interested.

In March, as a family, we decided to take her to Mexico to the Hoxsey clinic and completely abandon her chemotherapy. Her doctor's all thought we were completely foolish, even though it was obvious to us all the the chemo wasn't doing any good. The doctors in Mexico put Mom on a strict diet (tolerable however), and gave her a hoxsey tonic. In June she also had a very successful liver resection (the one place the cancer had spread to after the colon was her liver). By late August Mom's CEA level is down to 4.3. We are amazed. Not only by her falling CEA, but also by how healthy she is. The chemo tore her down. It was agonizing for all her kids to see her suffer to horribly. It is awesome to see her able to do what she wants to and be back to herself again.
I would recommend the hoxsey clinic to anyone who is dealing with cancer. It isn't a sure thing (as the doctor's down there told us also), but neither is chemo.
I would recommend the Hoxsey treatment as well. My grandfather and mother have both been on the Hoxsey Tonic and followed the Hoxsey diet. The first time my mother went was back in the 1970's for cervical cancer. She went again a few months ago for skin cancer. My grandfather was diagnosed with bladder cancer, went to the BioMedical Clinic, and 6 months later was cancer free.
And, again, regarding those commentators who keep trying to bully me into conventional treatments, my wife says that they should take care not to give medical advice.
Information is one thing, but advice is another.
