Petra's Healing Journey

So my holiday in Morocco wasn’t the relaxing contemplative time I’d imagined it might be, but to be honest, my mind was made up before I left.

When I got my biopsy results I thought I would be preparing myself for surgery, but it didn’t feel right.

Now I have the Spooky 2 👻 , and just had my first round of being stung by bees 🐝, my decision to keep going was made. I’ve also started something called DMSO, which is an extract of wood pulp from pine trees and acts as a carrier for things that you want your skin to absorb or things you wants taken into your cells. I mix it with castor oil and it makes it penetrate quickly and deeply to break up my tumour.

After speaking to friends I’ve made online who are in similar positions to me, I’ve realised I need to be a little more patient.

Only 25% of DCIS turns into invasive cancer, some people just monitor it, having regular scans, but my area of DCIS is bigger than most peoples, and is high grade, which means it is multiplying quickly, so the chances of mine becoming invasive is higher than most.

So I’ve decided to continue with all my treatments and my keto diet along with spooky and bee stings and DMSO for 6 months and then have another scan. If it’s still not decreased in size I’m gonna take the lump away and use some of my treatments instead of radiotherapy. That takes us to March, which is two years after my diagnosis. Considering they said it would be invasive after 6 months, and it’s still stable after a year and a half, I think it’s going pretty well, but I can’t afford to keep going indefinitely, and even if I could, I wouldn’t be able to live life doing all these things, it’s a full time job!

So please think positive thoughts, and hope and pray that by March my boob will be back to its former glory.

If your feeling flush, chuck me a fiver, every little bit helps! 🥰
