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 4, 2012 - Hair and Pain Issues

I have been wearing a black cap for about 4 days now. If I take it off hair fills the inside and I shake it out the best I can. My head hurts and itches. They say you can get relief but pulling it out or shaving it and then putting Sea Breeze anticeptic on it. Boy, oh boy, the things you learn in life!
I really don't know what to do. I am so tired and honestly I am in pain. My bones hurt. It's weird, for a few minutes - hours even the pain can be in one area and then it can move to another or be in many areas at once. Currently my back, ribs, collar bone and legs all hurt and have been hurting since I got up, along with a headache. I really would love to have pain free cancer treatments, but I don't think they have that option with my type.
Monday early morning, Bobbie is taking me to a special dentist that checks for mercury leaking in your teeth and other intresting stuff and then I hope to go see the new doctor to hopefully figure some of this out. Thanks so much for your prayers.
Blessings
