Living Proof Cancer is NOT a Death Sentence.

After a painful and extensive surgery to remove lymph nodes from my groin, the plan was 80 rounds of chemotherapy, plus the possibility of more surgeries and radiation therapy. It was all experimental. Chemotherapy treatments were 8-10 hours long, with 5 days in the hospital afterward. They did hyperthermia, getting my body temperature dangerously high, then they injected typhoid serum, and followed that up with the chemo immediately afterward. I was scheduled for a series of 5 treatments like this every 2 months. It took me almost 2 months to get over each series because of how sick and weak it made me feel. All this misery and a whole lot of expense for only a 20% chance of surviving. After enduring 2 series of these chemo treatments, I asked the oncologist what my chances were. He admitted the treatments weren’t working and said, “Well, we’re all going to die someday.” I was not about to give in without a fight. I knew in my heart there had to be a better way, and at 2 o’clock in the morning, I literally crawled out of that hospital and found it.

Along the way, I discovered it was just as much about what you ate, as well as what you avoided. It was and still is, important to keep cancer-fighting superfoods in my diet.
