Last week we saw Ann’s new gynecologist. He is an incredible wealth of knowledge, especially with regard to biochemistry. I wish I could share more details with you, but that would be hard for me, because I wouldn’t even know what I'd be talking about. But Dr. Warshowsky has a unique talent to explain complex biological sequences in plain English. We learned that Ann is highly allergic to dairy and eggs, plus her liver seems to have difficulties to detoxify and how all that realtes back to her breast cancer. That is also consistent with what we had found out already through the analysis done earlier at the Schachter Center (www.mbschachter.com). That’s where Ann receives her intravenous Vitamin C drips (and Laetrile) as part of her breast cancer treatment.

As we spoke to Dr. Warshowksy, the PET Scan results arrived. We had told the radiology center to directly fax the results to him, so the timing was just perfect. He glanced through the papers and said that everything was fine. No sign of any distance recurrence or metastases.

However, right at the spot where her breast cancer tumor was removed, there was some response to the dye which cannot conclusively eliminated as a malignant area, but was likely just scar tissue or a residual of the hematoma that in Ann’s breast after her third surgery. In Dr. Warshowsky’s opinion, this was nothing to be concerned about, however, he suggested to get another opinion, for example from Dr. Geminiani, the surgeon at Memorial Sloan-Kettering, who operated on Ann.

A few days later, Ann was scheduled for a Vitamin C drip at the Schachter Center. Dr. Kopelson stopped by as she received her IV to tell her, that there is nothing to be concerned about.

Yesterday we saw Dr. Simone (www.drsimone.com) and he agreed, too. No need to be concerned, absolutely normal that the PET Scan shows something at the breast cancer surgery site. I was very relieved and so was Ann. Dr. Simone though wasn’t necessarily pleased that Ann had a PET Scan done that soon already. He would have liked to see her having one done in a few months. This just illustrates one of the problems you might have by working with many different doctors; it’s just hard to coordinate everything plus they might have slightly different opinions.

Anyway, it was a good day!
