Alright, let’s clarify things a bit. Success and failure aren’t judged by the bone scan; it’s the CT scan that takes the spotlight. The PET scan? Well, some oncologists are into it, others not so much. I’ve been through every scan imaginable, just not the PET. But it’s the CT that’s the benchmark here. That doesn’t mean the Bone Scan …

Protocol 2 – Day 15 (2nd day of DON)
Well, I don’t know what to think about my glucose; it’s a bit better but not consistently under 4.1 mmol. The only way to keep it consistent is to not eat, so that is what I did on Saturday. My glucose was just fine for most of the days last week. Saturday I fasted, and my glucose was good all …
Protocol 2 – Day 9 (Skipped DON Again)
I missed DON day once again today, and it’s becoming a concerning pattern. The issue is my glucose levels, which I still haven’t managed to get under control. It’s crucial to keep my glucose in check because cancer tends to thrive on glucose and glutamine. All the efforts I’m putting into my health need to complement each other, so it’s …
Protocol 2 – Day 4 (Skipped DON)
Well, folks, today was supposed to be DON Day 2, but I’ve been grappling with my glucose levels since the last DON day on the 28th. It’s been a rollercoaster ride. I have been hitting between 5-6mmol, which is quite different than the trend over the last two months. 5 mmol might sound super healthy (and it is), but here’s …
Protocol 2 – Day 1 (1st day of DON)
Unfortunately, I didn’t have the strongest start for yesterday for day 1. I felt like I was grappling with a mild cold, though I could just be paranoid. I have had a sore throat when swallowing, primarily in the mornings and at night, feeling more like swollen glands than the throat itself. I also had a subtle headache, so mild …
Medications and Musings
This was going to be a First Day of Protocol 2 post but then I went on a rant. And now it’s 13:15 and I am on the couch still in my house coast and have been typing for 3 hours. So I will do another post on Protocol 2. First off I wish to express my profound gratitude to …
Diet and Lifestyle – The other major elements in this protocol
For those who haven’t read the introduction, you should because it’s hard to write these if I have to explain the basic protocol outline every time, I don’t think it could be done. Anyway, I am on my rest days which are days 22-35, and then I start all over for Protocol #2. So now is an excellent time to …
Protocol 1 – Day 21 (6th day of DON)
I eagerly anticipated today, marking the end of DON for two whole weeks! The memory of the every-thirty-minute foam session from four days ago still haunted me. The mere thought of DON and its taste made my stomach churn over the past few days. Previously at 1.1, I felt nauseous but managed to keep everything down. However, at 1.3, I …
Protocol 1 – Day 17 (5th day of DON)
I am writing this the day after my DON day because I will be honest, I was sick and wiped out by the end of the day. I prepped like usual the night before with my psyllium husk (mixed in peanut butter) and a big glass of water. I decided I would go down 0.1mg/kg because after reviewing some information …
Protocol 1 – Day 13 (4th Day of DON)
Hello, everyone! Today marks a significant progression for me: I find myself reporting on an event mere hours after it happened! Definitely deserving of a gold star! So presented with the option of increasing my dosage by either 0.1 or 0.2, I boldly opted for the more significant leap. The pivotal number for this morning? 1.3mg/kg, amounting to 87.1mg total. …
