Also to add to the comment above. When I got to the Dayton Medical Center, I first met with one of the Doctors there (her title was Metabolic Medicine/Alternative Therapies PhD Natural Health Doctorate) who proceeded to give me a "Life Blueprint" test.
What that test was pricking my finger for a small sample of blood which she put on a slide that was magnified onto large LCD display. She then started telling me things about my blood "I can tell that you have stress in your life", "Did you mother ever have a miscarriage". I almost got out of my chair to leave the room. I ended up getting into a debate with her for 10 minutes on what a "Life Blueprint" really is (my comment was that it was the same as reading tarot cards or tea leaves). Fortunately when I met with the DO after meeting with her, he must have talked with her as he listened to me speak about my prognosis and said that a Myers Cocktail would be fine. He did not push the other tests on me which would have been an entertaining conversation to say the least.
One point that I found interesting, was that I was telling him that Sylvester (University of Miami) has the latest IMRT/IGRT kit and how I believe it made a big difference in the side effects of my treatment. He then told me that the cancer center at Aventura has a radiation machine that can track the targeted tumor in real time during each Rad treatment (his comment was so that when you breath or move, the machine automatically adjusts).
I am pretty sure that this is not true as I understand that with IMRT/IGRT, they do a CT scan at the beginning of each rad treatment to lock in the location for that specific rad treatment however it does not compensate for any realtime movements that one would make during the respective session. Am I correct or is he correct?
BTW - The entire visit cost me $430 (AAGGHH!!!)
Thanks - Steve
