My Story
In mid 1999 I was living a busy and successful life. All that changed in an instant when I was unexpectedly diagnosed with Stage IV Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma. It was the worst news possible.
The prognosis was not good. I was expected to respond to chemotherapy, but invariably would relapse until my cancer became resistant to treatment or transformed to a more aggressive cancer. My cancer was considered to be incurable; and eventually I would succumb to the disease.
After chemotherapy I had a good response, but as predicted the cancer quickly returned. By early 2006 the cancer had returned for the FOURTH time and the future was looking bleak.
My haematologist had then planned a stem cell transplant. However I declined his advice and told him I would be trying vaccine therapy.... using a personalised vaccine manufactured from my own cancer and some unique dendritic cells extracted from my blood.
I started this treatment in 2006. I have had 52 injections, travelling the equivalent of half-way to the moon in the process! It is the only treatment I have had during that time. There are no side-effects. I am now 12 years disease free.
My haematologist has confirmed the vaccine has been a complete success, and my cancer is effectively cured.
I feel I have a duty to tell others of my success, and inspire them to never give up hope. And not to ponder on the doctors' prognosis, and if your current treatment is not working or unlikely to be effective, then explore what other medical options are available.
I am particularly keen on promoting vaccine therapies for cancer treatment, because it is harnessing your own bodies immune system to recognise and destroy the cancer, without side-effects. I firmly believe it is a treatment of the future and will, one day, be used for the treatment of all cancers. Yes, one day be used to treat and cure all cancers.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or require further information. You may also care to read my book "From cancer Good Things Grow" which I have written to detail my journey and how I was led to the vaccine. My book is self-published and is available from myself for $14.95 .
