Day1, Week 1 GcMAF 14/8/11
Piha Cuddles
Today I received the first injection of my GcMAF treatment – my new hope.
Michael (from St Benedicts Health) said I might feel tired after a couple of hours – that will be my immune system kicking in. (I get to administer it myself, at home. Fan-bloody-tastic!)
I don’t think I did feel suddenly tired but then again I have a bad cold and was feeling really tired anyway.
He also said some don’t have their immune system really kick in til week 4 (shot 4) so who knows, maybe the ‘kick start’ is yet to come. Alot of it depends on the condition your immune system is in to start with. For some, its too far gone for this to do any good. I believe I’m still strong with a lot of fight left in me yet – this treatment will work!
There are risks, esp if your cancer is quite advanced and tumours are large as things tend to inflame further before the immune system attacks. Hence why GcMAF is no good for brain cancer as the inflammation can cause too much pressure and result in death. Liver cancer has similar risks. Yes I have lots of mets in my liver, but Michael and I both believe I am strong enough to tolerate whatever may happen before my immune system kicks in and shrinks them! Its possible I will experience no side effects at all. Fingers crossed. At the most I believe I may experience some pains before things get better, but its worth it.
Basically GcMAF is a protein my body should be producing my itself, but isn’t. This protein will kick start my immune system into fighting this cancer. You can read more at www.gcmaf.eu
And you can contact Michael here in NZ at St Benedicts Health in Auckland City www.stbenedictshealthcare.com
I will keep you all posted on my progress. I’ll be having bloodtests every 3wks which should hopefully indicate things improving. It wont happen overnight but I believe it will happen!
As Ive said previously, each vile I purchase lasts 8 weeks ($1030). Michael isn’t sure how long I may need to be on it, but because of the number of metastisies I have, it could be up to a year ($6180).
Thank you to all of those who have donated already which has raised enough to pay for my first vile. You are all amazing! If you want to donate just click on the ‘Donate’ button where you can donate via paypal or go to the ‘Fundraising’ page for a list of acct nos.
Will write again for shot 2 in a weeks time.
Thanks again for all your incredible support.
