*Progress - On 22nd June, 2021
Today I went to see the three doctors from the Scleroderma stem cell trial. I received my results from last weeks lung function test yesterday and added them into my spreadsheet and graph. I’m very organised! I took my graph to show the doctors. I knew there was improvement but was not quite sure how they would take it.
The first doctor, a Rheumatologist who has spent many years studying Scleroderma, looked at the page I gave her and was so excited. She high fived me! I knew then that they must be really good results. She then said excitedly “I’m so pleased the stem cell transplant worked for you”. Oh shit, I forgot, that’s what this was all about, seeing patients pre and post stem cell transplant. I was a bit uncomfortable, she obviously hadn’t read my file before I came in. I wiggled in my seat and said sheepishly “I didn’t have a stem cell transplant”.
The doctor looked at the results and looked at me and repeated this a couple of times. The look of disbelief on her face was clear. Then came the questions “What did you do and what are you taking?”. I squirmed, I mean, how can you tell a doctor “I was guided by spirit using my intuition to take me along the path that I needed to go on to heal myself”. I eased into the conversation bringing up points about medical research being done on the Radical Remission Project. I then ventured to other areas including synchronicity and being guided to Professor Borody and the treatment I was on from him. We had an in-depth discussion about my belief in what the energy was behind my turnaround. The doctor took notes on it all. I was pleasantly surprised that she took it seriously and was interested to find out details.
I hadn’t come prepared though, as I really didn’t expect the doctors to be interested. I completely forgot to advise about Leech Therapy and some other stops on my journey.
The doctor then started doing the examination. My lungs were greatly improved but my hands were about the same, possibly a little worse. During the exam the second doctor walked in. He said his hello’s then walked to her desk and looked at my graph. He flatly asked “When did you have your stem cell transplant?”. The female doctor piped up “She didn’t have a transplant”. This resulted in a quizzical look between the two.
The conversations between us all continued. There was some interest in a cancer treatment that I had received as it can improve Scleroderma but I forgot to tell them that I had only had that particular drug early on in my cancer treatment between September - December 2019. After this time the Scleroderma got dramatically worse and only stabilised when I started on my own personal Radical Remission project in June/July 2020. I think it is a bit of a stretch to say that a drug that was taken 1.5 years prior, and only made the situation worse, played a part in the start of a remission 1.5 years in the future.
The final doctor, a Haematologist, was interested in my results also. All agreed that they wanted to see me again in a year to see if I manage to make headway with other symptoms ie hands and oesophagus. I did explain that my major attention had been on my lungs. I mean, no point fixing your hands if you die of asphyxiation in the process.
So I’ll go back in a year and will just continue doing what i’m doing.
A friend did say to me “But how will they work out what cured you, if you manage to cure yourself, considering all the things you have done?” Ah, that was never the point. It was never a case of Irene can show you how to cure Scleroderma. Everyone’s journey is different. The pathway to the same disease may be from many and varied things and therefore the self created cure will be different for every single person.
