I've been battling lymphoma since like Nov./Dec. of 2011....
Chemo helps a bit then the cancer comes back. At the end of November I was like basically clear of it, so they were going to do a bone marrow transplant. Using my own cells.
That fell through because its about a months process and in that period of time the cancer came back. More than it has before.
Dr literally said she is scared and very worried about the situation. The look on her face and the other Dr's in th room was pretty depressing to me. Like there is no hope.
But they got me on some new chemo treatment to see if this one helps (so i can move on to the transplant again).
Now, my family is from Mexico and religious and all that... so they want me to go see this "Dr," who cures using all natural medicines, faith and god.
I would have to go for a week and it it works then stay a month. The problem is I still want to do this chemo treatment. It kinda works because they give me medicine for a week and i get to rest and only visit the Dr once a week. So if i went to Mexico to see that dude then, i would just have to miss my weekly appointments and i I dont know how my Dr would feel about that. (these weekly visits is just to make sure my blood levels are cool and stuff).
I guess i can miss these appointments (I'd miss three f i had to). But i would go during the second cycle of the treatment to see how i handle the first treatment.
each cycle is 28 days. and only the first 3 days do i get any chemo medicine. and every day i take a pill...
Don't know what to do, what would ya'll do?
Should i just go? what do i got to lose right?
(Btw ive been on chemo since i was diagnosed)
