In July 2009, I was diagnosed with breast cancer over the phone. I remember arguing with the pathologist that some horrible mistake must have happened. It wasn’t true because I could not have breast cancer. Unfortunately it was true and my journey was just beginning. A lumpectomy followed and I was given the diagnosis invasive ductal carcinoma and triple negative breast cancer grade 3 with micromets in one lymph node.
Of course the recommended course was chemotherapy and radiation. I refused to have the chemotherapy and was not sure about the radiation treatment. I felt I must research everything thoroughly to make sure my decisions that I made were the right decisions. My heart knew what I was about to embark upon and that was naturopathic medicine. I felt that traditional medicine was not the right path for me at that time.
I called naturopaths and asked what my diet should be and the answer was plant food. I also talked with several naturopaths and found in my state they gave vitamin c infusions which they started immediately every week. Without 3 weeks of my lumpectomy another lump serviced. Another biopsy showed it to have cancer cells at the margin. My surgeon was also upset that I hadn’t done chemo or radiation and wanted me to have a mastectomy.
After flying to Phoenix and having more naturopathic treatment I decided to have the third surgery to see if there was any more cancer. The results showed no cancer. I contacted a naturopathic oncologist in Scottsdale, Arizona and had an integrative protocol while going through radiation. My protocol was powerful and I suffered no side effects and felt strong.
Since that time I have been under the naturopathic oncologist’s care and my blood work up is excellent. My natural killer cells are at a good level and all blood work shows normal ranges. I exercise 5x a week, lift weights, do kettle bell training, eat plant food, reduce my stress by gamma brain wave cd’s and loving my second life. I also suffered zero side effects. I am alive and well and did not lose my left breast.
Natural medicine save my life and today I am a vital, healthy breast cancer survivor. Looking back I think it was the 25,000 to 50,ooo vitamin C infusions that helped my cause. To maintain I do Qi Gong, Reiki meditation and take supplements for the adrenal glands to help with cortisol. One key I feel that helped was visualizing the cancer cells were dying off and that my body was pure with the healing sounds of removing those toxins.
As I sit hear typing this blog post for Sherri, she mentioned the stress load that she always feels. I often wonder how stress plays a part of this dreadful dis-ease. When you’re stressed could it effect vital vitamins and minerals (calcium & potassium) while making magnesium levels low with calcitrol high. Sherri mention, stress use to be an issue that would make her sick to her stomach.
