Hello warrior fam! 👋 Sorry I’ve been quiet for the last few months. The loss of fellow warriors in this group (and also in my community on Insta) has profoundly impacted me and lead to deep reflection about the unfairness and inequitable outcomes of cancer and mortality. I felt like any update I post would seem trivial and unhelpful during this difficult time for many of you. Although I REALLY didn’t want to, I ended up accepting some standard of care and integrating radiation into my latest intense protocol. The reason for this was financial stress, tumour growth for the first time in 2.5 years, and knowledge that my cancer cells have down-regulated Heat Shock Proteins (which in theory makes them more sensitive to radiation). I chose long-course, low dose radiation (25x1.8Gy) and integrated sensitisation strategies, such as daily HBOT, intermittent fasting and a few repurposed drugs prior. For recovery and minimising side effects I’ve been doing RLT, hydrogen therapy, CDS, while maintaining a high level of ketones as they have anti-inflammatory effects (especially β-OHB which reduces oxidative stress in healthy cells). Today was my final fraction. Initially I negotiated 15 due to fear of both the short and long term side effects, but as I’ve tolerated it so well I decided to have the full 25. I am very lucky to have been referred to a new radiation oncologist who has been open to personalising the treatment and genuinely curious about the potential of HBOT, fasting and the ketogenic diet. Radiation to the pelvis in women nearly always results in infertility and induces early menopause. General side effects also include proctitis, incontinence, rectal inflammation and pain, fibrosis, etc. I’m very shocked to report I am yet to experience any side effects, with the exception of the two days I decided not to fast, didn’t do HBOT, and drank coffee and ate a typical western breakfast. I had to know for sure that the adjunctive modalities I’ve implemented have been truly effective and not placebo, so this is why I experimented with what a “typical” patient (ignorant about the impact of GKI) would likely eat. On those two days (and two days after) I had extreme fatigue and a little irritation in the rectal mucosa. As a result of this, I did a 3 day consecutive fast to try to stop the progression of the side effects and lo and behold… they went away! Unfortunately, prolonged fasting wasn’t / isn’t possible as weight loss impacts the accuracy of the markings and measurements needed for precision radiation (and I certainly don’t want ionising gamma rays blasting non-tumorous rectal mucosa and causing a secondary cancer through oncogenesis of healthy epithelial cells).

This group exists so no one has to walk this path alone. Share as much or as little as you feel comfortable: - Your diagnosis or a loved one’s journey - What brought you here - Questions you’re exploring - Therapies or strategies you’re researching - Or even a photo — faces help turn stories into connection Every share matters. It helps others feel less isolated and strengthens the collective wisdom of the group. 📌 Post Categories — How to Share To keep the community organised and easy to navigate, please choose the category that best fits your posts: 📢 Announcements: Official updates from the Admin team. 👋 Introductions: Say hello and share as much (or as little) as you’re comfortable with about your journey. ❓Questions: Questions and thoughtful answers from the community. 💬 General Discussion: Open conversation on cancer, healing, mindset, and community-related topics. 💡Research & Protocols: Research, studies, resources, protocols, and learning materials. 📝 Journeys & Experiences: Personal stories, protocols being explored, progress updates and testimonials. ❤️ Community Lounge: Anything that doesn’t clearly fit another category.
