Journey Through Immunotherapy: Todd’s Turning Point
So far Todd has had two immunotherapy treatments of Opdivo and Yervoy. After his second round we hoped for a noticeable change, but life had other plans. Just like before, (if you have been following us for a while the last time he went through treatment of Opdivo only, he got sick too). Since immunotherapy boosts the immune system, it can sometimes cause autoimmune reactions causing it to attack healthy tissues and organs.
Todd got hit hard with a fever that spiked to 104.2, and he’s been down for the count all week. From more intense stomach issues to migraines and even a little delirious. This is the absolute worse he’s ever been and and one of the scariest weekends of both our lives. Kloey and I also felt a bit under the weather, but Todd’s reaction is more than likely a side effect of the intense medication.
Despite the tough week, it’s been a powerful reminder to lean into our natural healing instincts. Our bodies are miraculous, and our thoughts hold incredible power. On a quantum level, our perception and physical state are intertwined with our thoughts. If negative thoughts can harm, then positive ones can undoubtedly heal.
We’re also reminded of how messed up the healthcare system is and how it’s all too easy to get sucked back into the fear-driven narrative they push. Alternative treatments, the ones that resonate with us, aren’t covered like the $30,000+ immunotherapies. But financial obstacles shouldn’t dictate our life choices.
We’re remembering that cancer was a blessing in disguise, re-evaluating our game plan and have some exciting ideas on the horizon, like the Plasma Frequency emitter and PEMF therapy we mentioned a while back. Todd recently tried ozone sauna therapy, and it’s something we want to incorporate weekly.
Here’s what we’re focusing on:
- Rick Simpson Oil (RSO): Todd takes a gram a day.
- High Dose Green Tea Extract: Rich in antioxidants to support his immune system.
- Liposomal Vitamin C and Glutathione: Boosting his body’s natural defenses.
- Electrolytes: Keeping his system balanced.
- Lymph Massages, Meditation, and Juicing: Returning to these roots for holistic wellness.
- Fenbendazole Protocol: Targeting cancer cells and potential parasites.
Todd’s mom has been helping us with these additional costs. We are sooo grateful for her love and support! Now, she’s gone above and beyond, setting up a GoFundMe to lighten the load for all of us. It’s not easy to open up and ask for support, but we’re learning that sometimes healing is a community effort.
Every dollar contributed isn’t just a donation; it’s a vote of confidence in Todd’s journey to wellness.
