CANCER SURGERY
On March 5, 2012 I couragously submitted myself for major surgery at Keck Hospital at USC Los Angleles. After suffering with aggressive, recurrant basal cell skin cancer since it returned in 2008. I was finally approved by my HMO to undergo a 9 hour procedure to remove my right ear and the surrounding cancerous tissues. I must admit that I was apprehensive about surviving this long of a surgery and the day I was admitted I found myself trembling so bad with fear during the preop. The anestesiologist put all fears to rest with his reassurance that 'he would be by my side the entire time and not to worry.' My doctors were amazing. They had no idea how bad the cancer was until Dr. Maceri opened me up and began to do his magic. Originally, he thought that they might only need around 15 frozen margins to get a cancer-free zone....but no! It took over 60 frozen margins to finally get a cancer-free area. The tumor itself was as big as an ice cream cone....(double dip or triple dip, I wonder.)
When I finally awoke my hands were in restraints and a plastic tube was down my throat. I screamed for them to remove it but no sound came out of me. Finally they removed the breathing tube and the restraints. I was in the ICU for over 3 days until they finally moved me to my own room with a view of the beautiful fountain below.
I stayed at the hospital until the following Monday when I was released to go home and recuperate which is what I am doing right now.

Eventually, I hope to get back to drumming and my job at BUR. I am determined to get back to being ME again!!! Thanks to God for giving me a second chance at life.

body cleansing with chinese herbs
2/14/2011
Today was the second day of my cleansing.
I felt weak and tired so I took a nap. These must be signs that the tea is beginning to work into my system.
My brother, Justin, is a Chinese herbalist as well as an Acupuncturist in Chicago, Ill. He is quite well known and knows his stuff . He can read a palm and know what is wrong with that person's health. He sent me these herbs after I had told him my condition. I have MRSA.
5 & 1/2 years ago I had major surgery to correct a skin cancer surgery that I had at UCLA. While I was recovering in the hospital I had several tubes and IV's in me.
I believe that I contacted MRSA, or a staff infection, from this.
I have been ill with MRSA on and off ever since.
I have been to a bevy of doctors and hospitals to correct the hemorrhaging of my right ear which is now infested with cancer....basal cell.
Basal cell is supposed to be the lesser of the troublemaker cancers of the skin. For me it has been pure hell.
The most recent thing that happened to me was my right ear lobe split in half and turned black and fell off. Ever since this happened to me I have experienced no bleeding and not too many infections as I had before......
Maybe the lobe was the root of my bleeding problems.
**************************************************************************************
I no longer have MRSA, thank God! My health will improve now since I had my recent surgery(see blog above). My blood pressure is very normal now and I am improving daily. I just need to get through the radiotherapy. I meet and consult with them next Monday, April 9,2012.
