So.

I have found myself in a conversation with someone who (understandably) thoroughly questions this entire process with Dr. Moon.  Okay, actually is adamant that this process is a fraud. 

The last thing I want to do is be a commercial for Goodgene.  I will be one when mom has been helped.  There are moments while I was there that took me aback - like what happened with Jackie's fiducials.  But you know what?  Mom had surgery in the US that was profoundly terrible.  Can anybody say they have never experienced a problem with US healthcare, doctors or hospitals?  Like I said before, no one (and no country) has this healthcare business right.

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WORKS!  God help me, I pray that it does.

What does success mean?  Does it mean that 100% have to be "cured" of cancer?  25%?  10%?

Dr. Moon is working on opening a lab in Houston.  Obviously, continued research is key.  Mom is getting IGRT treatments (along with other treatments) in South Korea.  So, I feel comfortable with her there.  She is being treated, at least, there. 

As I previously wrote, not all who have come have survived.  There are those, however, that have.  Why?  Why them and not others?  What if you only get an extra year before your cancer comes back?  Is the money and time worth it?   Here is some reality:

 I spoke to the wife of a patient who died.  She said this:
"I would suggest doing everything in your power to get your mother to Dr. Moon. I have met with two people who went there. However, they were very straight forward and said that of the 20 people being treated at the same time as them, they are the only 2 still alive. They did say, though, that even the people who died were so happy when they died. They weren't in pain, they didn't die of some drawn out disease, it was in their sleep. I wish that was how my husband had died. Just going along and then died in his sleep instead of the steady decrease in his ability to do things, including see. I know that this man's treatments are expensive, but he does a fantastic job. He does stem cells, dendritic cell therapy, cyberknife... What you need to know about dendritic cell therapy is that it uses your white blood cells to attack your cancer. So if you have a low white blood cell count, depleted bone marrow, etc... they can not do the treatment for you. That is another problem with Tye going there. He had so much chemo that his body just stopped creating white blood cells and his count was very low".

And the son of a patient who died:
"Dr. Moon's treatments went very well for my mom. It knocked the lung cancer down by 30~40% according to the before and after tests we did. Unfortunately we were unaware that the cancer had spread to her brain prior to us leaving for Korea & the treatments we did specifically targeted her lungs. When we got back to California they found the brain cancer and did a series of whole brain radiation treatments. She's resting comfortably now but the brain cancer seems to be pretty advanced and she's not responding much to the radiation.  I wish I had a better story for you but what we originally went to Korea for was accomplished and from what I hear from the other families that were out there with us they've been successful too".

I reached out to some folks and some have reached out to me.  I am keeping my eye on those who are still out there, living their lives... praying for them too. 

False hope and blind faith is not what should take anyone to a country they know nothing about.  Have informed hope and thoughtful faith. Do your research!

Right now, we'll have to wait and see.  Mom, myself and her doctors are anxious to see her results.  As promised, I will share them.
