sono confuso

i'm trying to postpone my splenectomy for a couple more weeks. not too keen on losing it. as a result, in the past 3 days i've met with people who practice alternative medicine. one practices homeopathy, and the other uses herbs (mainly germanium for cancer patients) and acupuncture points.

and now i'm confused. hehe. everybody claims that their method works the best. the testimonials i heard were quite convincing. in the end i decided to try both. after all, if they have worked for quite a number of people, it could work for me, yeah? i guess i just want to be open to options, and not regret later thinking that i should have tried it out. however, i'll give it 2-3 weeks, and go for another CT scan. if there is no improvement, then i believe my spleen will have to go. gosh, i'm thinking so much about this dilemma, maybe i should draw up a decision tree so i can see the problem more clearly. i did, after all, study information and decision systems back in college. haha.

in the mean time, i pray that i stay in remission while i buy some time to clear up my spleen infection.

...and also for my doctor friends to not think that i have gone mad by doing this.

Amen.
