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 2, 2012 - Picked up films and test reslts

I picked up the sonogram and mammogram films along with the
pathology report from the hospital and was facinated with everything. I
watched the Death is not Dying video on the internet. I suggest everyone
watch it. It's a video of a woman with stage 4 cancer talking about life and
Jesus. She's amazing and it's wonderful. I hosted a tutor meeting at my
house where the majority of ladies don't know and that was a bit difficult
to compartmentalize so much and keep such a big secret. I am hoping to learn
more before telling everyone in my CC group on Saturday. Debating doing a
blog or mass E-mails.
Blessings: The is the realisation that I am not alone in this cancer and
that many have gone before me. I knew it before but it obviously didn't
havethe same meaning. I have a wonderful group of women that are so sweet,
caring and wise around me on a regular basis, and I am thankful to God for
them in my lives. Two friends stayed late and talked with me about
everything and even looked at all my mammogram films.
