Coincidentally?Sorry for not getting back to everyone - I’m home from a two night stay in the hospital after having my tumor, salivary gland and many lymph nodes removed. All visible signs of cancer were removed with no permanent damage to facial muscles or nerves. Thank you to everyone that sent well wishes and prayers!
The margins were well defined and they said the tumor hadn’t grown since my first MRI 2 1/2 months prior. That could be because of the slow growing nature of this type of cancer or possibly the supplements and meds I was taking.
I had upped my frequency of Fenbendazole and tetracycline while continuing on with Berberine and Curcumin. I was taking 100k iu’s Vit A and grams of Urea — even spraying it on my neck (per Dr. Peat).
One thing that that should be noted is that my liver Enzymes (ALT & AST) we’re extremely high when they did pre-op blood tests a week prior. After discontinuing all supplements, including Cascara Sagrada, the enzyme levels went back to normal. With that said, another MRI showed a hemangioma and benign cyst on my liver. They could have been there before - I’ve never had my liver imaged before. Unknown whether the Fenben or supplements were damaging my liver, but it’s worth keeping an eye on.
I was able to get a prescription to have my root canal removed by my ENT during the parotidectomy surgery. When I asked her if it was infected she said yes, there was a lot of grey granular material (necrotic pulp) and a large cavity (abscess?) above that almost entered the nasal cavity! Coincidentally, the salivary gland duct (the gland where the tumor was) touched the infected root canal tooth!
I’m at home now. I’ll go back tomorrow to get my drain tube removed and then I’ll talk to my new doctor and oncologist at the Block Center for Integrated Cancer Care outside of Chicago. They believe in augmenting standard care with alternatives like repurposed and off label drugs, cancer fighting supplements, specific dietary changes, exercises that improve recovery time, and stress relief exercises.
Hard part will be melding this and Dr. Peats work together.
Some sources say nearly all root canals are infected, no matter if it is detected on examination or exray. If you have others have them removed as well, otherwise you might see recurrence with a vengeance, there are topics about this outcome. Removing the cause (all tooth infections) can probably prevent recurrence.
