I got more info on that nurse who had non-Hodgkins lymphoma. I guess she is a traveling nurse and spent one day on Lans floor, so truly a stroke of luck or an act of God. Like Lans her lymphoma had also spread to her Central Nervous System. She like Lans received the hi dose chemo, so did she. And like our girl will shortly receive a stem cell transplant, so did she.

This nurse had been told there was nothing else they could do for her. And she said she was wasted and ready to be done. She was in Hospice and weighed 90 pounds. Her husband was not willing to give up on her and carried her in (because she was to weak to walk) to this naturopathic doctor at Mayo. I guess they hit her with high doses of vitamin C, hydrogen peroxide and some B vitamin. She has been in remission for 9 years. Unheard of for Lymphoma of the CNS.

We have all been walking a little lighter after hearing such an optimistic story of an apparently drop dead gorgeous, healthy 65 year old woman who had the EXACT same thing as our girl and is cured. I guess they just have the program at Mayo and there insurance isn't covered there, so we will have to do some fundraising or see if since they don't offer the services she needs at the hospitals covered by her insurance if they have to cover it.
