you are a very wise man, your first accurate urine ph reading will be at your second pee. I don't even test the first because you are just clearing the pipes during that one. Having your heart situation I wouldn't start out with any more than 1 tsp of bicarb and 1 tsp of molasses or syrup to 1 cup of tap or spring water per day until finding out how your system deals with it. Do not attempt to take so much trying to change ph of blood tests as this is not possible because the body keeps it's blood ph level at a constant, buffering only adds to the amount of bicarb in the blood and only raises ph levels in the urine , saliva and most probably internal organs but apparently has a lot to do with the metabolism of cancer, causing it to starve itself by hiding and not uptaking for too long, or causing it to make a desperate move to grow while being too damaged by radiation, chemo, or immunotherapy to do so thus causing it to experience cell death or "commit suicide". At the very least cancer uncovers itself so the imfinzi , radiation, and chemo will work better and all these have been researched and verified by Moffitt en vitro and en vivo so sounds like a win-win to me, It's just what I can do to help it along and if it helps just one person beat theirs then I am okay with that. I cannot tell you if the bicarb causes side effects to worsen but I have taken a royal beatdown and suspect that it does but cannot prove that. The Curry powder recipes all make the cancer inflame up and cough for a while after eating it so I eat it everyday and don't worry too much about what statistics say about that one..keep us posted,....

Now come on D,
I DON'T SOUND THAT DRAMATIC NOW DO I? But dang straight, may not get to fight this particular battle but once and too many of my loved ones have lost to it (mother, aunt, mother in law and 3 more of us have it and the precious ones who lost didn't get but one shot so GUNG HO, LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT AND BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES and pip pip and all that jazz, my full attention with everything I can throw at it IS necessary , I do not intend to lose this one. My onc and medical team is very grateful and GOD is with me so why not? TEN HUT with compassion and understanding- Charles

DFK,
Killing it not healing it, and looking it square in the eye while it is dying and saying "your'e no daisy, you're no daisy at all!" as far as the peppers, just add a few drops of srarancha hot sauce to the recipe and voila! The curcumin in the curry has an anti cancer affect I guess, but you will notice the discomfort in the cancer and the dish over rice is delicious.just vested in permanent survival not just prolonged life with immuno. It isn't easy making a grapefruit just disppear. I not only inhale the nebulized sodium bicarb but drink the bicarb mixed with black strap mollasses and this acts as a poisonous trojan horse cocktail to the cancer since the cancer feeds on sweets, the bicarb bonds with the molasses and attacks the cancer when consumed by it and raises ph levels to cancer killing levels of 8.0 to 8.5 and chips away at it a little at a time and keeps it off balance while the Imfinzi busts a leg off in its thunder bucket. Enjoy the recipe with those hot peppers you've grown, later, Charles

Here is a recipe my cancer just despises, it contains jamaican style curry powder and is yummy but spicy but when I eat it the cancer just freaks out, I want this demon to suffer every moment it invades my body and let it know in no uncertain terms just how I feel about it with every bite I take which has this badia curry powder in it. If it aint ice cream, it has this curry powder in it and my family just loves it too. This recipe I spoon over parboiled rice and also make stews out of it by adding potatoes , carrots and celery. It just makes the cancer run for cover every time, ENJOY!
Jamaican Style Curry Chicken
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 tomato, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
2 tablespoons Badia Jamaican-style curry powder (the more the merrier though up to a quarter cup)
2 slices habanero pepper (optional)
1/4 teaspoon ground thyme
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup water
1/2 tsp or more salt to tasteHeat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir onion, tomato, garlic, curry powder, habanero pepper, and thyme until onion is golden, about 7 minutes. Stir in chicken and cook until chicken is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Pour water into the skillet, reduce heat to low; cover and simmer until chicken is no longer pink at the center, about 30 minutes. Season with salt.

RonH and DFK,
Thank you for your return comments and I too am grateful for this site to come visit and share what we cannot find anywhere else on the net, the truth! I am low pdl-1 (10%) so I knew right away I could not just be a sideliner in my treatments with this stuff. Chemo/radiation 35/10 went pretty well with inflammation, coughing, a little fatigue, constipation and off-the-chart bloods but I started buffering orally during those treatments due to research from the moffitt cancer center in Tampa Florida that stated the exact mechanism is unknown but according to their research, lung cancer starts and exists in and acid environment and that it is possible to achieve ph levels through "buffering" by drinking Sodium Bicarb in drinking water. I really felt I had nothing to lose, and according to amazing lung cancer survival stories I had read and researched and confirmed on several scientific study sites that the Bicarb claim had a lot of merit to it. The only thing I had to do is to come up with a formula that would bring my urine ph between 8.0 -to 8.5 without damaging my kidneys or heart, this seemed to be the target of all research successes so became mine. I am not a Doctor, but a doctor in Italy was supposedly debunked and apparently incarcerated for treating a lot of patients with only Sodium Bicarb treatments and claimed to have a 99% CURE rate which I did not believe was that high in the first place but his willingness to commit medical suicide with such an abandon that I knew he really believed what he was doing really worked.The only problem with buffering orally in the drinking water was that not enough of the Cancer was exposed to the Bicarb and visa versa to completely kill the Cancer in a lung ie. the airways. I thought OF COURSE! then I looked into nebulizing possibilities and learned that today, Doctors treat children with cystic FIBROSIS with sodium Bicarb nebulized directly into the lungs because it helps prevent or slow down lung damage(scarring) and is absorbed into the blood also in this way, that's just what I would be trying to achieve correct? so through research, meticulous research, I came up with my formula for my mixture to go ito my nebulizer and began my treatments only after the radiation treatments and inflammation subsided because at first the bicarb and distilled water caused inflammation and caused a lot of coughing. After several half hour treatments I noticed the coughing became easier and more productive and actually improved my lung functions dramatically to the point of restoring my lungs to 100% breathing without coughing . Then I noticed that I began to cough up pinkish phlem again like I did during radiation and I knew I was onto something GOOD because this is cancer cell death for sure and it was. so I put together an "attack program" where I would hit MY cancer with 6 days of sodium bicarb buffering protocol drinks to bring up and keep my urine ph level at least 8.0 and not higher than 8.5 and I done this with the help of urine ph strips from Amazon, then I would hit it with several days of 1/2 hour nebulizer treatments once a day and then finish bringing the ph up to 8.0 with protocol drink orally during these days, this way the cancer was hit at all angles as well as the chemo and immunotherapy which according to meticulous research (scientic and layman) actually helped the action of both to uncover and destroy the cancer. Well, like I said before, I won't argue the point with any scientist on what actually is killing the Cancer this fast because CORN FLAKES or BICARB who cares? it is getting done and all concerned keep saying "keep doing what you are doing" so I will and GOD gets ALL the credit for leading me to the right direction to know the difference between mumbo jumbo, naysayers, greedy medical profession organizations, and those real people out there who have no choice but to think outside the box in their own times of need due to misinformation and lack of information out there that is scientifically credible and I again quote one of my favorite movies " extreme situations require extreme measures" and here is one of my quotes " There is no room so dark as a pitch dark room with a battery operated light with no batteries and the only ray of hope is the knowledge that a fresh battery is hidden somewhere in the darkness" I WILL FIND THAT BATTERY! RonH and DFK, YOU GUYS ARE LIKE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR, THANK YOU!

the wisest M.D. in the universe (GOD) told me "son, we aint going to beat this with man's medicine alone, there are more forces involved than just the cancer and THAT is big enough to kill a horse SO WE have to plan a systemized attack where time and timing is of the essence and vigilance and knowing the difference is key . Here is a quote " life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your going to get" Thought I'd throw that out there to show everybody is different.

Welcome here, Your situation is most similar to mine in a lot of ways . I too wear a bi-pap for severe sleep apnea every night which actually has helped me breathe during my bad lung days of chemo/radiation. I too have went through the liver scare, hypothyroidism, every level, to include maximum daily dosage of prednisone, levothyroxine, liver function tests, many unscheduled ct scans, brain mri's, eye exams and quite a few feelings of doom and gloom during this arduous journey to name a few and my onc has offered to take me off Imfinzi but has allowed me to make the call myself. during all the prednisone I've had I delayed treatments only to see if the potential side effect I was experiencing was durva related or not, which usually took one week for the side effect to ease off then another treatment was administered before the S.E. was completely gone. I am a 58 year old male with COPD, high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea, morbid obesity , a 3 cm aortic anuerism between my kidneys, a 5x7 cm "soft mass" growing in my mesenteric region that does have an uptake but they think is not cancer and had, at the beginning a large solid tumor 11.0x 8.0 x 12.0 cm that was as largeas my right lung but was a big as a grapefruit that was completely blocking one of my airways to include 3 masses inside my airways with one .3 cm from my trachea that was threatening my upper respiratory system. The tumor is now or at last scans the size of a walnut (7.6 x 3.5 cm at its largest measurement with an uptake of 6.1, down from 26.0 in the beginning) that means it is 2.5 x 1.3 inches in mass at its very largest measurement which means it is tattered and torn, no longer round or restricting breathing and the masses inside the airways are gone to include a couple of lympoh nodes that were affected, all gone. I have viewed treatments as you have from the beginning, if it doesn't kill you it most probably will help as it has.; I have also used two of my own techniques that has helped with lung damage and quite possibly tumor progression by buffering my ph levels to 8.0 to 8.5 with sodium bicarb treatments orally and directly into the lung with breathing treatments mixed and administered (by me) through my"atomizer" for a half hour per session at a mixture of 2 tsp S.B. to 1/2 cup of distilled water ever since completing radiation and it has done wonders and seems to have supercharged the durva and activated the white blood cells early on. No matter the explanation of the action, if I was injecting corn flakes into my bloodstream it has worked so far with all treatment and I will continue to buffer accordingly with close attention to urine ph levels as always. I am 4 to 6 treatments behind timewise but I believe I will be allowed to catch up those on the tail end of it all. dId I mention GOD? He has been the ultimate oncologist and the one I give all the credit to for guiding me what to do, when to do it, how to feel, being strong, believing, hoping, and giving me ideas where to take my newly prolonged life that he has granted me and I am eternally greatful for his infinite wisdom and protection for this. Have much more to say but will include this in a memoir book in which are in the future plans also.; Thanks and welcome again to you and DFK............... Charles..........

Tomm,
I'm not hyper but hypo sorry my bad.

all good in my camp
scans, mri's, radiology, reports, and eye exam all good. supercharging the thyroid appears to be working slow but sure as the body seems to be going through a positive metamorphosis. NED is all our goals but I am Waiting to see who will be the first to achieve NED as a result OF the Imfinzi. Lots of positive results on this site so maybe soon....

Thanks Barb and Tomm,
happy to hear the good news but limited as to how much celebration I can do for my good news due to Hypothyroidism. As of July 17th my TSH was 54 but actually having a little more energy and strength because of the hormone replacement pills so it's all good there, keep up the great work everyone!
-
Yep, and even after not having a treatment for 2 weeks, then a month the second time, and now this time,6 weeks since any new Imfinzi has entered my body. I do have the best oncologist in the universe working my case though, his name is GOD and the other one, one of the best in the world inasmuch as what to do next about all the adverse reactions and side effects I have experienced while on this treacherous journey that we all walk on Imfinzi. I can hardly imagine that all this started out with a tumor larger than a grapefruit and LITERALLY took up my whole lung, had my right lung partially collapsed and now is about the area of a WALNUT, 2 1/2 inches x 1.5 inches and the radiologist doesn't use the word LARGE anymore in his description of it in the latest PET/CT, it is now a "masslike conglomeration" I would say this is grounds for a celebration in my household but our work is not yet finished, we have a walnut to eat! Talk at yall later.;...... Charles

Thanks Tom and Steph,
Also answers questions whether prednisone stops the imfinzi from working, NO it doesn't, even the maximum dosage of prednisone (1mg per kg of body weight per day) and even when on 50 mcg of thyroid hormone replacement pills, and even low PDL-1 (10%) THANK YOU LORD!

#9 gone for me, Pet/ct scan results in= Shrinkage, SUV less. mediastinal node gone, with small plueral effusion, and small pericardial effusion, no new C ANYWHERE, Hoorah! Great scan!

Tomm.
Thank you for that but I must confess that my mental strength sometimes makes my typing fingers "say" things they ought not to say, Thank you for your inspirational words and techniques, as we all go into our different battles to slay our many dragons on our road to the defeat of the beast!

I would like to convey a public apology to Eagle13, Robert Macauley, and all who read and were offended by some comments I made a few posts ago in this forum. I was contacted by Tom Galli about these posts and chose to edit them for content but also wish to go a step further by issuing this apology to all concerned and hope that I will be allowed again in the good graces of my fellow Imfinzi pioneers older and newer. Thank you, Charles......

Tomm,
Levothyroxine 0.05 mg tabs once a day for me
-
Great advice Tomm,
my thyroid counts have been low since chemo and just recently my tsh level was at 45 so I have been put on hormone replacement pills once a day. The thyroids count has led to a brain scan with orbitals and massive side effects to include complete muscle axacerbation with menial tasking, energy levels and strength nill , weight gain of ten pounds in 1 week ( hypothyroidism and the eye thang was all due to that) so maybe we nip that one in the bud. can still take Imfinzi during this hormone replacement. Sorry to interrupt the conversation, Charles

No Bob, didn't work that way at all!

Dr. Eagle
Did you even read the post? hers was a positive post and appears to be working for her so why would you SIR, recommend changing anything at all?

barb,
don't worry about what you read on websites too much, small plueral effusions are not uncommon , I have one that has shrank and even had a "new" small pericardial effusion myself, but tumor shriinkage, less uptake, NO NEW HOTSPOTS , LYMPH NODES GONE, sounds to me like you should be doing the funky chicken and spreading the good news. and congratulations on a Good scan is in order here .
-
Barb
sounds like a pretty decent pet/ct to me considering. you've got more shrinkage and litlle uptake, working? something IS. Lymph node gone? MOST WUNNERFULL! And the plueral effusion? not great but just keep positive because it sounds small, where exactly are you reading that a small effusion puts you at stage 4 and prognosis is 6 months? TUMOR IS GOING AWAY AND NO OTHER HOT SPOTS, This sounds like an overall good deal to me and hope mine is at least that way on Tuesday.

Tomm,
thank you, hope you have a ball at the farmers market, last time I went to ours I couldn't breathe well enough to make it so we had to come home, may be tempted to try it again soon though, thanks for the idea..... Charles

Opal,
yes cataracs are a side effect from durva, have developed one in my right eye myself and eye problemws are also a side effect such as vision changes but you need an eye exam to know if it is durva related or age related or diabetes etc..I had to get a brain and eyeball mri scan also and all mine was thyroid related, in other words, durva related.
