My Story

I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Her2 positive breast cancer Dec. 27th, 2011. I had three large tumors in my left breast, I also had two positive lymph nodes and so with 5 positive biopsies I started my journey. In the beginning, it was a whirlwind and within a week, I was getting a port and preparing for chemo and the rush to save my life was on. Eight months later (August 20th) after stopping chemo (12 sessions) and not having surgery (a suggested double mastectomy) or radiation like my doctors wanted me to, I sat at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Illinois and heard the results of a mammogram, MRI, Pet Scan and blood tests were that they could find no cancer in my body. The nurses and doctors were baffled and no one could explain how I could have had this terrible cancer and it was now gone, except for me. I said the Lord healed me through prayers, education, diet and supplements. I started this blog when I was first diagnosed, it is not just about on cancer, but my life and day-to-day thoughts and activities. There are suggested websites, blogs, videos and more here that I believe can benefit those dealing with cancer and those who want to be preventative. My hope is that you and yours will learn, be encouraged and healed. My family prays every night for those with cancer and that you will be not only be healed but that you will live long and happy lives.

Love and Blessings on your journey.

December 28, 2011 - Biopsies Done - It's Cancer

Went back to Christas St. Catherine's to do biopsies with Dr.
Sardina. We decided in spite of our insurance coverage deductible switching
over January 1st, to go forth because of lots of encouragement to do so.
All biopsies tested positive for cancer. The large mass was measured at 6 cm
- 8 cm. A double mastecotmy was suggested.
Blessings: The nurses said that they had been praying for me. The hospital
didn't charge a dime that day as the doctor had called the CFO. It wasn't
too painful and Mark was able to come and get me and take care of me at
home.
