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.

February 12, 2012 - Notting Hill

I am so tired and I haven't been sleeping, up usually at 5:00 a.m. There are a mariad of issues all of which would take a while to address.
I am not happy about cancer right now and the way it is trying to knock me over with the insanity of it's agenda and schedule. I can handle things pretty well for the most part, but quite honestly I feel like Julia Roberts in Notting Hill when she just wanted to get away from all the publicity and such. But in my case it's cancer I am trying to get away from and it's attached at the breast. Remember the door being opened and her being just so suprised and suddenly aware that she was found by all the people with their flashing cameras? I feel that way. I am so suprised still after 6 weeks now! This is my life and it hasn't seemed to slow down at all yet, in fact we are still at a crazy pace and speed and I just want to shut the door (like she did in the movie) on this cancer and walk on to something new and better.

Thank God for tomorrows, even if they aren't numbered.

I love you and the prayers
