5.0 Fighter...The future of Martial Arts Competition.

A message from Jeff Speakman:

Hi Everyone!  To all my students, friends, and fans around the world, I have just returned from my first meeting at City of Hope six weeks after my chemo and radiation treatment.  All 3 of my doctors from surgery, radiation, and oncology have reviewed the hi resolution CT scan from this morning and all 3 say that the tumor is gone!  There is no sign of other concerns such as spreading to the lymph glands or the esophagus, but there still is damage and swelling from the radiation.  All looks normal from this time frame; however, the 12 week PT scan is the most important because of the resolution power and by then all the swelling should be gone for now this is the best case scenario.  If Einstein is right and energy cannot be created or destroyed...and if quantum physics is right saying that we can be receptive to others energies, then all of you have directly contributed to my healing.  For all your efforts I have to find a way to thank you from the deepest places of my spirit.  Hope to see all of you at the Vegas Event so we can enjoy life together!  With loving respect for you all...js

PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE FLIER ATTACHED. SENSEI ANTO WILL BE TEACHING A
SEMINAR AND WE SHOULD ALL GO ATTEND TO SHOW OUR SUPPORT. THANK YOU!

As we are 1/2 way thru Week #6, the decision had to be made on the nutrition side of treatment.... JS was not getting enough, that coupled with the "fired up" metabolism from the radiation, he has lost significant lbs... He needs nutrition/protein to nourish and to heal.... Today we are here to get a Feeding Tube... This will allow the throat to heal better and allow him to "eat"! Although he still needs to use his throat this will make "life" a bit more comfortable... For myself as well... ;).... Smile!! It only gets better! — with Dan Pribble and Antranig Anto Parseghian at City Of Hope National Medical Center.
