<div>I have finished up round 4 of chemotherapy treatments here in Phoenix.  We are staying in a studio apartment with the total cost of $2500. So far we are short on rent as we've raised $1500. If anyone wants to help us, I'm in the process of being released on November 16th to travel. For my care I'll be going home back to Wisconsin.  I'll be traveling to La Crosse for treatments so I can stay with the mayo clinic. The medical bills are coming in now. Over $10,000 (so far) was not covered. We are on a fixed income, what I bring in per month isn’t any more to pay the payments they are asking of me per month. My grandchildren have also spent thousands to keep me here. If you can help out in anyway it would be appreciated.

<div>It's been 84 days since this began. 84 days now in Arizona after what was just supposed to be a 2 week vacation. The first thing that they told me is that I would not be able to return to my home in Wisconsin. I was on oxygen and I wouldn't be able to be in the house with the woodburning stove or the gas range. I was also too high risk for traveling by any method due to the risk of blood clots. I would have to stay in Phoenix until I could be released. At that time I was dying of a rapidly progressing lung cancer. They would have to do a biopsy to see exactly what kind of cancer it was so they could treat it. I was afraid. I wasn't sure if I would make it thru.

<div>I <span>was given a choice to roll into a room and be made comfortable or go upstairs and begin chemotherapy. My odds were 50/50. I made the decision to go upstairs and begin the chemotherapy even though it was against everything I believed as a holistic healer. But I decided to choose life and take a chance. Thankfully I had a wonderful team of 8 specialities with 3 on each team supporting me at the mayo clinic. </span>

</div>

<div><span>I had a multitude of symptoms every lymph node was swollen, I had altitude sickness with low oxygen in my blood. I also had pneumonia. The first round of chemotherapy and antibiotics had begun on August 30th, then the 31st and September 1st. I was also taking RSO cannabis oil 1:1 CBD to THC. I had no side effects from the chemotherapy treatments. They were running medications and doing tests and labs around the clock. </span>

</div>

<div><span>On September 2nd they let me go down to the chapel with my family and a nurse to pray.  We all entered the spiritual chapel and we all prayed for my healing. Around 10pm my nurse came to bring the next medications and she noticed that the swelling in my right hand was down.  This was a sign that the treatments were working.  Also I wouldn't be needing a stent placed in my artery. </span>

</div>

<div><span>I was discharged on September 3rd and I left the hospital with a walker and oxygen machines and a bag of medications for the side effects. I was then seen on September 5th by the homecare nurse. She did her assessment and she discharged me from homecare. I was no longer swollen, I didn't need oxygen or a walker.  I hadn't needed any of the medications. </span>

</div>

<div><span>I spent the next weeks resting, eating organic food  (and upping my protein and fat intake as I was only 100 pounds), walking, deep breathing exercises, meditation, sunshine and fresh air therapy.  I also decided not to use any of the medications that they gave for any of my symptoms as they all carry side effects.  Instead I went back to the holistic therapy and I used essential oils to treat any symptoms that came up. I also used cannabis, probiotics (friendlyflora) dandelion root tea, and a 7 day treatment of ivermectin and fenbendazole. </span>

</div>

<div><span>I am so grateful to still be here.</span><br />

</div>

<div><span>Any donations would help out so much.</span>
