As I previously mentioned, when I traveled to NIH in May, an MRI of my liver showed a focal point that they said was probably a metastasis of my PNETS. This was quite stressful because up until that point, I felt as though all of the lifestyle changes I've been making and very passionately promoting were really keeping my tumors at bay. I sort of felt defeated a bit and of course it made me sad. I decided to not only continue making these choices but also to try a few other things while I waited for a follow up MRI...
I also shared with my church family that I was having a follow up and they surrounded me with loving prayers for healing.
I wanted to share the results of my latest MRI of my liver:
They saw nothing!! Whatever the MRI at NIH picked up is gone. Praise the Lord! I was gleefully crying as soon as I heard the news!!
I know this disease will eventually progress but for now I'm taking this as a win!
I truly believe in the power of prayer AND that our bodies were designed to heal themselves! I truly believe that I would not have been so stable for so many years had I not made these changes so long ago.
The whole point of this blog is to share with my fellow Dazzle of Zebras that you have the power to make changes that can better your life and heal your body!!
Speaking of the liver- the thing that time and time again shows up on my scans is that I have what they call non-alcoholic fatty liver.
I know so many people that have this and it's becoming more and more common.
I've been meaning to address this for a long while because maybe like me, you were not even told you had this! My liver is infiltrated with fat and no one told me!! No wonder I'm exhausted all the time and my metabolism is slow and my skin has issues from time to time.
My friend got a kidney stone and was told it was caused by her fatty liver. I only found out I had this because I read the scan myself. The doctors are not concerned at all about this and they see it all the time, but they should be telling people this is a serious issue!
I know what causes fatty liver and how to reverse it now and my next post will be the amazing thing I discovered to not only finally reverse it but also to stabilize my diabetes!
But don't just take it from me, Dr. Mark Hyman talks about fatty liver:
