11 Months (Don’t Believe It)
A cold plunge…and a love plunge.
The Blip.
They went DOWN. My numbers, for the first time ever, went DOWN.
A miracle?
As I watched my PSA level rise over the last few months (the general indicator for the presence of carcinogenic cells post prostatectomy), and I was told the hormone therapy was no longer working (about 8 months ago), I began getting ready for chemo.
If you follow this blog series, you know all about it. Chemo is more controversial for late stage metastatic prostate cancer than for other cancers. Half my doctors don’t think it’s a good idea at all (it ravages cellular activity so important for longevity). So, when my PSA suddenlywent down slightly after a month of daily hyperthermia treatments and powerful meditation and lifestyle improvements, I postponed chemo, and got very hopeful.
It’s easy to prioritize work over health when you love what you do. I realized that, of all my skills and talents, where I truly excelled was coaching leaders, those healing or recovering, and those seeking lasting intimate relationships. You share what you are yourself talented at, and my life has breathtakingly skyrocketed into the fifth dimension in these and many other life areas.
However: the PSA rose again as of three days ago. Blip over.
Time to refocus on my healing again. Chemo scheduled…again.
So, why am I so happy?
In the last few days, several things happened to light up my life. Stephen McGhee’s powerful L4 program refocused me indeed, and reset new habits. My powerful positive projection, I watched this man literally rise from the ashes (his home burned to the ground in the LA wildfires) to deliver and serve selflessly, while modeling holistic wisdom and next-level longevity strategies. I was grateful to produce his tech event…and when he (and others) gifted me the money I raised for him on a GoFundMe platform Mark and I created for USM students, I was dazzled and humbled.
This experience was the genesis of my next decision, to enter the Voluntary League of Disciples, an organization of service minded “lay disciples” of Paramahansa Yogananda, who I have been a devotee of for nearly a decade. The lifestyle of a Voluntary Disciple models that of a monastic. Simply put, my life will be changing drastically to focus on service and devotion, while adhering to even stricter lifestyle interventions.
Finally, I proposed to my long-time partner, and we are getting married next Spring. Now is the time to share our love with family and friends, and a world rapidly evolving both socially and politically. We spent Valentine’s Day weekend in Idyllwild, enjoying healthy food, sunshine, and a freezing cold February plunge into my local stream revived by recent rains and snow melt.
My first chemo appointment is a week from tomorrow. My strategy will likely be to switch to Pluvicto after the first chemo if I don’t tolerate it well. I will also be heading back to LA to produce the CFJ coaching school, and to begin daily hyperthermia treatments again, with all of the infusions and supplements I can afford (please consider donating), while keeping my Radical Remissions factors constantly improving.
I will refocus on launching my healing workshops with the Radical Remissions institute, and serving the best coaching clients in the world.
Life is a delirious joy.
