I had a very interesting yesterday. I got an e-mail from Marmion saying that they were going to have a pan cake breakfast and a number to call to the alumni association. I decided to call to let them know I would not be able too make it and to put me back on the prayer chain. While I was talking to Don on the phone we were talking about donations and he mentioned that Father Charles was going to be in Arizona and California in a couple of days. They still had me in the Arizona and California Alumni groups because I had gone to meetings in both place in the past. I ask him where they were staying in California and he said San Diego was his first stop. I then ask where are they staying in SD. They were going to spend big bucks at a Holiday Inn Express. That's when I realized the good Lord had made me call. I explained my relationship to the Carlsbad Inn and that no Marmion alum priest was staying at a Holiday Inn when the CBI was just 10 minutes away. So as it turned out he had Father Charles call me and we started talking about old times and where we had seen each other since graduation etc. One of the times was with a old friend of mine in Phoenix. He asked about him and I mentioned I had not heard from him in some time because we had a falling out. He then said about forgiveness and that's it's not a good idea to keep grudges no matter what the circumstances. I told him I had talked to him about two years ago and told him I forgave him but we had not spoken since. He then thanked me for the hotel rooms and mentioned the other person traveling with him is the Abbot. I then said to be sure to have him praying for me also. He assured me that he will. We then hung up.

About an hour later I was driving home from doing some honey do's, when I got a long distance call from a company I did not know and a number I did not recognize. Usually I will not answer calls like that because they are just wrong numbers. For some reason I answered it. It was the old friend that Father Charles and I had talked about an hour before. I've not told him about this, so I will not mention his name, but he is RAS.

He had just talked to an other old class mate an had been informed about my cancer. He started talking about all the time he has spent with alternative medicine and especially cancer related. He lost his sister and his father and mother in law to cancer. He called the medicine Protocel. It kills only cancer cells not your red and white cells. I had just seen a TV program on Saturday about this same kind of research. They we explaining about all the research being done in rain forests and under the ocean for medical cures. There are a growing number of people that believe that there are cures out there that native people have used against disease for years that we don't use any more or never have. My doctor talked to me about arsnic and that it can kill you if you take too much, but it can also be used to cure certain diseases. This is the same kind of thing.

He gave me a number to call and I talked to a doctor there about this cancer that I had and what she felt this medicine would do for me. She then explained that she has worked with people who have had Sarcoma's and how rare it was. She said it can't hurt to take it while I take the Chemo. As she said it will kill cancer cells, where there is no assurance that chemo will kill a Sarcoma cell. I do know one thing, it didn't do much good with the last time. I have now what they said they were going to try to kill. Cancer cells that were too small to see at the last CT scan. It's obvious to me it didn't happen. I'm willing to go through the Chemo again, but I'm sure as hell going to try this stuff also. She also recommended Paw Paw, which I know my mother told me about years ago. I had an employee that lived in Paw Paw Michigan and he showed me the trees. It is also toxic if you take toooo much, but can cure certain things. I just wanted to put this in the blog so it is on record. I'm not telling my doctors I'm taking it, because I'm sure they would tell me it is not effective. But you know what, Chemo has not done the trick either. If I'm going to pull through, I'm going to follow my instinct and follow what happened yesterday. Who's to say the Good Lord didn't send this to me. He does work in mysterious ways doesn't he.

I've got to go to the doctor now talk to you later
