For a long time now I was an "alternative medicine only" fanatic with the conviction “I’d never get conventional cancer treatment”. But as Gaby said, sometimes conventional treatment is the best. Every patient and every case is unique and it requires a unique treatment protocol.
The Cs have already implied that conventional treatment can sometimes be the only solution, particularly if the cancer is advanced. I'd be interested to know if there is a cancer stage that alternative therapies are not worth pursuing. I have read numerous cases over the years of people in more advanced stages refusing conventional therapy and surviving. And then of course there are the tragic cases of those who refused the conventional treatment and died (and let's not forget there are cases where a patient was told by conventional medicine they only had X number of weeks to live, yet beat the cancer with alternative treatment). I suppose I've already answered my own question: there is no hard or fast rule about what is the best approach without taking into consideration a multitude of factors encompassing a person's physical, emotional and spiritual states.
October 2020 session:
The parable of the drowning man, also known as Two Boats and a Helicopter, is a short story, often told as a joke, most often about a devoutly Christian man, frequently a minister, who refuses several rescue attempts in the face of approaching floodwaters, each time telling the would-be rescuers that God will save him. After turning down the last, he drowns in the flood. After his death, the man meets God and asks why he did not intervene. God responds that he sent all the would-be rescuers to the man's aid on the expectation he would accept the help, highlighting the axiom that God acts through humans and other earthly entities.
Frequently retold within the American Protestant community (although Catholics tell the story as well, Hindu, Buddhist, and Jewish versions have been recorded), the story is considered to reinforce the aphorism that "God helps those who help themselves" and rebuke those who believe that God works through divine miracles, preferring instead for people to do his work on Earth.
I’ll be booked in for a kidney function test some time in the next week. Then I’ll go to clinic again next Thursday, and have the chemo either Monday or Tuesday the week after.
Thanks T.C. for the info, it's noted; let us know if there are any readjustments to keep up with both of youKidney function test on the 10th. Appointment with the oncologist on the 19th. Chemo on the 23rd.
A person may be consciously against standard treatments but his or her faith in getting cured without them may be weak, or viceversa. Then there is the timing, as explained in the session you quoted. And, another thing we don't quite understand is substances and their compatibility with each individual and each disease in terms of the information they carry. THAT is a total mystery at our level, something we can only get a glimpse of with homeopathy, or kinesiology and such.
These and other reasons seem to be why each case is so different from others. It might also involve individual lessons.
Just make sure you take the measures you can with complementary stuff just to help your body recover. We will be with you in spirit and prayers.
