Update sept. 24th, 2013

Hello!!

Diana is staying in Colombia with little baby Emma, and now the Colombian   health insurance seems to be covering her treatment.... Hopefully approvals should be in by tomorrow!

She went to the general primary Dr. Last week and he forwarded her case to a specialist that saw her today and immediately put an order for all necessary tests and exams needed to get her the needed surgery for her nasal tumor. With this surgery she should get the tumor removed and protect the right eye and see how can the left eye optic nerve be recovered...

Please put all + energy for the necessary approvals!! She considered staying in Colombia for now because of the help she and little Emma can receive with both  grandma's there and other family..! I have been traveling myself every two weeks and staying there all the time my work permits it...

She has also been stable with her lungs, so this is a good and positive sign...!

We will be informing of any news regarding surgery and updates!!!

Thanks!!!

Michael

Update 9/25: all tests and exams towards the surgery have been approved by the insurance in Colombia.!!!

Hello all,

Diana is stable in Colombia still no major progress seen..., she will remain with little Emma until further notice...or if we decide that there will be better medical options home.

The lungs are stable for now, there is some pain felt on her back but controlled with medicine when needed.. Her tumors on the nose are present, so we are inquiring about surgical removal to see if it is a possibility or not right now...

The most important thing now is to give her all the positive energy we can, and make her feel that all this can be reverted and healing is our only and final goal...!

Ozone therapies are still being done, and some others... The homeopathic drops are also being taken daily.

Little Emma taking a bath...

Thanks to all....!!!! 

Update August 20th, 2013

Diana had been feeling a lot of pain for the last few days on her right side. Once at the hospital here in Cali, Colombia they made an X-ray of her lungs and saw a lot of liquid in the right one. It needed to be taken out to relieve pain and make a body Cat scan. 

Today the liquid was taken out and sent to the labs for testing and the cat scan was made too, and we are waiting for results. It is very common for tumors to generate this symptom on the lungs...

She is feeling much better, even though she is very tired. She will continue at the hospital until a decision is made regarding a major surgery of the lung to stop any more liquid from filling it again...

Please let's all be positive and with much love towards her healing!!

Communication is difficult being abroad so i will post updates here when I get Internet access.

Update 8/21: Diana is out of the hospital, much better with her breathing. She will remain calm these few days while the next steps are organized...

Mike.

Update August 17th, 2013

This early morning Diana's father passed away, it is a very hard moment for the family and friends. We are all in Colombia so please don't try to call our us phone numbers. 

I will update everybody in a few days again...

Love and strength to all.

Update August 12th, 2013

Diana did return from Bogotá a few days ago, but was able to stay for less than a week because her father got really sick. He suffers from a lung disease and breathing got real difficult for him and he is currently in the hospital.... 

Diana travelled to Cali with little Emma, where her parents live, and will be staying there for some weeks to see how things evolve. Meanwhile she is continuing her treatment with dr. Canencio who is the homeopath and

lives down there too. She is also looking into regular medical advice regarding the vision of her left eye and how to protect her right one from the same problem. There might be a surgical operation advised and it would be done in Colombia.

Besides this, Diana is a strong woman, with many desires and positive that this will go away soon. Tumors are getting softer and that continues to be a very good sign.!!!

Big hugs to all...

Update July 31st, 2013

Diana is still in Bogota, undergoing treatment everyday of the week and even Saturdays sometimes. She will be back to her house in a few days. 

We do see that the tumor growth speed is being controlled by the treatments, even though inside her nose, on one side tumors seemed to dissolve, in the other side they grew... The cancer cells that are around the optic nerve of her left eye, have probably created enough pressure to block that signal and currently her vision on that eye is gone. We will go to an eye oncologist soon, to see what options they may suggest...

She is feeling fine and relatively strong, her mom and relatives have been helping a lot with little Emma and preparing the food and also the juices she has to drink every 2 hours. I am amazed myself how positive and joyful Diana is right now, I truly believe there is so much I have to learn from her....

We will be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary this August, so this will be the first one with little Emma..!!

Diana and I are truly blessed with so many friends and people helping one way or another.... 

Here the next wonderful event to keep all the faith, thanks to all.....

Hi all....!!

So dianita is undergoing all treatments still in Bogota, under dr. Rojas supervision, herbs and others also from before from dr. Botton and the homeopath... During the weekends she tries to rest and enjoy her family at the most. She will be staying there until the beginning of August to keep the pace of the treatments....

Diana's vision on her left eye is decreasing a bit and she had been feeling dizzy for a few days, so once it got to really bother, she was taken to the hospital for a checkup which included blood check and a brain CT with contrast. 

All blood counts seemed good, besides the iron a bit low, platelets good...!

Activity on the nasal area was seen and on the optic nerves as the MRI showed a few months ago... We shall continue to monitor the vision issue.... So dizziness may be from all herbs+vitamins+....... Stress related...

Emma is fine and getting bigger everyday!!

Love to all..... 

Update June 30th, 2013.

Hello All!!!

Dianita and emma are currently in Bogota, Colombia, for an ongoing treatment that includes: psychologist,  IV's of vitamins (I know some are B12, C....), Ozone IV, etc. All controlled and followed carefully by specialized doctors in this areas. Diana is taking every couple hours the special Chinese herbs given by Dr. Botton also.

The tumors are still present on the nose and right side where the last surgery was, but we feel that the growth has slowed down at least....

The food Diana is taking, is all the recommended vegetables, juices, and grains.... Mom Maritza, sister Caro and Daniela are on top of this....! =) So we are very faithful that things will get better everyday now.....

I use this message also to give you all a huge "thank you" again to all who have helped us in one way or another..!!! without that, Diana would not have been able to do so many necessary things towards her healing....words may not express all the love we have received unconditionally...



Emma went with us before Diana left, to the beach and touched the ocean waters for the first time!!! Here is the pic we would like to share with all....

Love to ALL......

Hello all!!

Dianis is keeping control of any tumors in the face through several processes, a big component is a self healing one that she must continue to do everyday.  Dr. Botton is now helping a lot with a whole treatment of acupuncture several times a week, and a strong herb cocktail including xue fu zhu yu tang.... And dr. Lam will continue with local control which is today....

She will be traveling next week to Bogota to continue the treatment with Santiago Rojas for just two weeks and then return down here.

She continues strong and with very positive attitude....

Thanks!!!!

Hola a todos!

Dianita estuvo ayer nuevamente donde Dr. Lam, y le realizo una pequeña infiltración en un tumor que ha ido creciendo en la fosa nasal del lado izquierdo, y se espera que este empiece a disolverse en unos dos días... Esto para controlar estos crecimientos... El Dr le puso una dosis de artimisine y una nueva hierba China que no recuerdo el nombre pero la colocare aquí pronto...  

Seguimos con mucha fe y amor a todos los tratamientos que se han ensayado. Pronto dianita debe hacerse una resonancia magnética en la cabeza para ver como esta todo x dentro...

Emmita esta grande y fuerte! Creciendo ya casi con 3 meses y medio...! Ver fotico... Esta acompañándonos estas semanas la abuelita Luz Elvira....

Gracias!!!
