EP 9 : with Erica Matthews

[00:01:53] And I got back in the beginning of March and I noticed that my I had I had self diagnosed myself, but on my neck area, I had looked it up and it appeared that it looked like a goiter, which has to do with auto immune issues. And so I was like, I wasn't really feeling, you know, terrible or anything. I was having a little bit of shortness of breath, but nothing other than that. I thought that was a little weird, but it didn't really make me run to the doctor. So I went into a routine dermatology appointments and the dermatologist looked at me and she said, we're not doing anything today. [00:02:35][00:03:43] And I you know, I think I scream bloody murder on the phone actually hung up on her after she told me I needed to get to the E.R. because my lungs were filled with fluid. [00:03:52][9.4][00:06:18] And I did end up having surgery. And I. I do regret that I ended up having to bowel obstruction. Had a horrific experience in the hospital. Ended up having a pick line, a feeding tube put in. I couldn't eat or go to the bathroom for 10 days. It was awful. One of the doctors had contacted my husband saying, you know, they don't know. So I'm going to make it, which I know I didn't know that at the time, but I knew it was really hard. The 10 days it was, I don't even remember a lot of it. I just knew that I wasn't doing good. [00:06:51][33.3][00:07:46] So I would say research is key. And I truly believe that a lot of people, when they get diagnosed with cancer, they do think it's a distant death sentence and they come under that fear. And so it's like whatever the doctor says, OK, let's do it instead. There's a there's so many different options that people can take different paths. And it's really about educating yourself. And I believe that, you know, God will lead people, you know, to what they're supposed to be doing. [00:08:15][29.1][00:10:39] You immediately you're getting off the plane. Yes. No, I know. Great. I'm I'm definitely in a great place. And, yeah, I'd love to share about what I did. Yes, exactly. There's there's so many different places that do. [00:10:55][16.5][00:13:30] Yes. And Dr. Kinealy is a big fancy. You know, she's she says tumor markers aren't everything. It's more about the PET scan. And I agree with that, too. And the reason I do is because after I had the surgery, my markers had dropped to six forty, I believe. And then in between that time, I was doing. Taking CBD oil supplements. [00:13:52][22.8][00:16:07] OK. Yeah. And all of these and the RDC, which is measuring the circulating tumor cells, in addition to then finding the appropriate kind of chemotherapeutic drug and also natural intervention. Did you do several of those or have you just done one so far? [00:16:26][18.6][00:16:36] I've been very busy healing. I've met I met the most amazing people and just got educated and have been healing. [00:16:42][6.8]  ____________________________________RESOURCES FROM DR.
