Jean's health

This blog is dedicated to the above subject. Refer to our earlier blog dated a couple of weeks week ago.

For those who know her well, maybe this should come as no surprise, but her reputation for invincibility should not be taken with complacency. NO-ONE IS INVINCIBLE.

It has been a source of considerable concern to us of late, but in typical style she has kept the earlier results of her lung X-rays and CT - scan on the back burner. These showed a large mass on her left lung which could have been anything, but a subsequent CT - Scan decreased the chances of anything like a tumour - without completely debunking the possibility.

Anyway, all of the above took place in Penang at the Island Hospital 4 weeks ago. Since then she has been aggressively pursuing various treatment options on Langkawi Is.,including physiotherapy which involved aggressive "cupping" of the chest and back to dislodge anything there. Then there was Dr. Din, the acupuncturist. We have known him for at least 3 years now and always have had a very high regard for him. He has given her several treatments with encouraging results. He recommended onion juice which Jean, with her accustomed aplomb, took to with relish. Never mind that Jim hates onions - can't stand them in any form in fact - despite the fact that  he was involved in exporting the damn things from NZ to Japan and Europe in the 1970's. That is another long and painful story.

And last, but by no means least, is that she was lent a nebuliser by friends (an Aussie/Swedish couple - Drew and Kat) on "Malmuirie". She has been using this with Colloidal Silver as a mist infusion and it certainly has helped greatly. We'll be getting our own soon because the results are impressive.

4 days ago she had another X-ray here on Langkawi. The doctor on Penang had suggested that Jean fly there for another X-ray and even a period of hospitalisation for observation. However, Jean was having none of that. Happily the current X-ray shows that the mass has completely disappeared which appeared to have vindicated her natural treatments, albeit including a 7 day treatment of antibiotics. So, we, and she in particular, are of course ecstatic at the latest result.   

That she has achieved it, is in no small measure due to her single-minded determination and pursuit of all available options. The X-ray may be clear, but the symptoms are still persisting, albeit at a much lower level. So, now it's hopefully just a matter of continuing the various treatments and she'll be 100%.

Cheers and lotsaluv from us..............

Jim and Jean
