For those of you who know me well, you might at first think this will be a commentary on my previous marriage (which was, indeed, a "Greek test" of sorts).
But no... this is all about a state-of-the-art blood test, called by some the Greece Test. Why Greece/Greek? Because that is where the blood is sent -- to a special lab in Greece where analysis of a person's blood is done to determine the right type of chemo to use as well as other drugs / supplements to assist a doctor in setting up protocols for patients.
This link gives a brief and broad overview:

I had blood drawn today for this Greece test to determine if we are using the correct type of chemo for my cancer. I have already received one dose of chemo because Dr. Alvarez did not want to wait to get results back from the lab to begin chemo. If the test comes back showing that I need a different brand of chemo than what he is administering, he can make adjustments. This test will also help my naturopath back home determine if my enzyme / mineral / vitamin supplementation is correct.
So here, once again, I am receiving an impressive protocol that I cannot get in the good ole USA. Sad for Americans, yes? But an exciting new diagnostic tool for those who can travel outside of the country for treatment. I consider myself very, very fortunate to be here.
More blood was drawn today to create another custom-made cancer vaccine for me. I asked the lab technician how many docs in Tijuana use this therapy; he was able to list at least four. There may be more, of course, but that is the number of physicians using this particular lab for dendritic cell therapy (cancer vaccine production). See my previous post (last week) on my giving a gift to myself.
