Starting back crossfit/bootcamp gym on Monday. I will go every day until Rolles surgery.
No sugar, no carbs. Ketone meter ordered is on the way. I know it takes about 2 weeks to see improvement in ketones, so maybe I can get glucose and glutamine down enough and ketones up comfortably.
Ramped up fruit powder drinks also.
IVC still 2x per week. Will take IVC after surgery. Haven't nailed down dose and timing yet but its a GO along with vitamin D3, turmeric, E and some others. I amunsure if airport officais will confiscate IVM, Itraconazole and mendendazole. I need to find out whats on the hit list for Germany. I have a cousin who is DEA so he might can find out for me. We will see.
I am unsure about the use of cimetidine for lung mets? Anyone know if it helps for the anti-spread?
So much to prepare for on top of everyday things. We are swamped at work also and having to work 12-14hrs a day right now.

Perhaps you could fedex a package of the supplements you would like to have with you to your hotel before you go.

I use the cimetidine twice a day to increase fenben plasma levels, but it must be taken 2 hours outside of all other meds/supplements.

Thanks for the tips, pccr!

Rolles surgery for right lung scheduled May 24th. Left lung will be 4 weeks after right lung.
I will be happy to have this done and see under the microscope if mets or not. Bet they are!

[IM64]

I believe and hope that surgery will put the final point in your long journey. Will you stay 4 weeks in Germany between surgeries?

Will you be in germany the whole time?

I know they don’t want you flying for a good length of time after the procedure.

If there are no complications with right lung surgery I will come home after 10 days to recover for 4 weeks then go back for second surgery. The second surgery will be the easy of the two.
I have to be in the hospital on the 22nd for breathing tests and things. Then surgery the 24th.
I think I'm going to tell them I'm allergic to the ergometer lol.

Congratulations on getting sharper eyes and tools for your lungs.
I hadn't realized that Coswig was an "only lungs" specialty hospital until reading a blurb on Rolle.

Some of the basic Life Extension surgery recommendations:
This combination regimen of 14g of modified citrus pectin and 800mg of cimetidine, taken at least five days before surgery, may be followed for a year or longer to reduce metastatic risk.
For your original lower CA199 values, I might focus on cimetidine 5 days before and after surgery.

Tramadol vs morphine
Those requiring medication for pain control after surgery can consider asking their doctor for tramadol instead of morphine. Unlike morphine, tramadol does not suppress immune function (Liu 2006). On the contrary, tramadol has been shown to stimulate NK cell activity. In one experiment, tramadol prevented the suppression of NK cell activity and blocked the formation of surgery-induced lung metastasis in rats (Gaspani 2002).

For example, 134 patients with advanced lung cancer were treated with chemotherapy alone or combined with Celebrex® (a COX-2 inhibitor). For those individuals with cancer expressing higher amounts of COX-2, treatment with Celebrex® dramatically prolonged survival (Edelman 2008).
Both of our surgeons prescribed celecoxib after my wife's CRC surgeries, 2010-11, without any prompting at all from me.

Thanks guys for all the support!
Rp, I will take cimetidine and pectasol C as you suggest.
I will also request Tramadol.
Thinking about getting a vitamin D shot next week for that extra boost.
Back around Thanksgiving when we had whatever*, two weeks before getting sick D levels were in the 80's and 60's for the other one. After getting well, a week later bloodwork showed D levels cut in half. Vitamin D levels are super important.
Dr. Kern approved IVC, celebrex, turmeric, vitamin D, vitamin E and a few others. Xeloda one week after surgery.

Update: I will be staying in Germany the whole time for both surgeries. I am looking at about a 2 1/2 month stay really.
Ready to get this done honestly.
Still trying to get passport renewal fast tracked. On hold now with passport people. I hope they tell me it will be in the mail in the next few days.

[IM64]

Looks as a good decision - stay under the control all the time.

[DarknessEmbraced]

I hope your surgeries go well. *hugs*

[IDF108]

Hope your first surgery went well today, beach sunrise! We all are praying and rooting for you.

[beach sunrise]

Thanks yall! I really need the confidence boost.
I was worried passport wouldn't arrive in time so we pushed surgery back to June 15, 2023. Good Grief Charlie Brown!
Passport arrived 3 days before first surgery date, smh. So, I could have made it happen after all. Anyway, it's now June 15th.
