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.

January 13, 2012 - Really Sick

I was very sick. I couldn’t make it to CC try as I might. Mark took the kids and friends brought them back. I slept and threw up a lot, I felt worse than I ever remember, except for a major incident like a car wreck or something. My head hurt and I just lay by myself all day either in bed or on the bathroom floor because I liked the cold tile. I was super weak and couldn’t even make it from the bedroom to the kitchen without stopping to rest on the couch. My bones and joints ached and had sharp pains in and out. I think my face, ears and nails were the only parts of my body that didn’t hurt. I realized this was all out of my control.
Blessing: My husband could take my kids to and from CC and my group of friends at Cc helped, the nursery worker even watched Hudson. There was no way I could have done it without them.
