Barbara's Ovarian Cancer Story Part II By L. John Mason Platinum Quality Author

Ovarian Cancer: Process and Survival
Post Surgery
Read Part I for information regarding diagnosis and surgery...
The next few weeks after my discharge from the hospital, were very busy. My sister, Nance, and my mom decorated the house and Christmas tree. My sister Lauren visited from Washington and cleaned, cooked and lent invaluable support to all of us. There were visits to the surgeon for follow-up and the oncologist for the initial visit. John and my sisters accompanied me. It was so very helpful to have someone else ask questions and write down information. It can be an overwhelming experience, especially when you're a little "spaced out" on vicodin for pain management, as I was. I signed on to be part of a clinical study using different combinations of medications for eight instead of the normal six cycles. Laurie had brought a book with her that offered a lot of information on how to deal with an ovarian cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatments. One suggestion was to research clinical studies. There is a great deal of "cutting edge" research out there but you may have to hunt for it, do your homework, and bring the information to your doctor. My oncologist's office was conducting a trial, I was accepted, and I was scheduled to begin treatment on December 21.
Even though I was dreading the whole process, I knew I had to approach it in much the same way I did the surgery, almost like an athletic event or a race. I wanted to go in as strong and as prepared as possible and with a better "attitude."
Attitude is defined as a manner of acting, feeling or thinking that shows one's disposition, opinion and mental set. We may not be able to control a situation, but we can choose our attitude about that situation- victim or fighter; passive or aggressive; depressed or striving toward joy and happiness; caught in the "why me's" or searching for the "what can I learn from this." With the help of many people and through much reading and research, my "attitude-adjustment" process unfolded.
A booklet entitled "Preparing for Chemo" suggests several things that I immediately put into action.
1) Get your hair cut short so that when your hair starts falling out, it's less traumatic and won't clog the shower's drain. (This worked for the drains but I was still traumatized.)
2) If you plan to wear a wig, shop for it before starting chemo. My sisters and my dear friend and hairdresser Patty, helped with both of these steps. Watching my long hair fall to the floor was very hard and yet made me feel the tiniest bit more in control of what was happening to me. To my surprise, everyone loved my new hairdo. The compliments boosted my ego when I really needed it. Nance and Laurie accompanied me to the wig shop. Laughter is very good medicine-and we laughed a lot as we all played with the wigs before settling on two very nice ones. Four hundred dollars later I was armed with my hair prosthetics and a sore belly from laughing. At this writing, I am sporting my own very short hair after nine months of wigs and hats.
3) The booklet suggests having a dental check up and cleaning before starting chemo. Also important is giving your home a thorough cleaning and perhaps scheduling someone to come in once a week thereafter- a clean house can minimize exposure to infectious agents.
4) Building up strength through exercise and a good diet can help minimize some of the side effects of chemo. This booklet and other helpful literature, is available through oncology offices and offers good practical information. I also found the library and the internet to be good resources.
Shortly after my homecoming, from the hospital, I received a telephone call from Lindy, a volunteer with the Cancer Society (set up by my husband and the cancer support staff at the hospital.) She had been diagnosed and treated for Stage IIIc ovarian cancer seven years ago. Hearing from her gave me a real boost and some good tips for dealing with the upcoming chemo. She shared her experiences with surgery, hair loss and complete recovery! She is still cancer free! In addition to advice on make-up to camouflage the fact that one has no eyebrows or eyelashes, she told me how helpful acupuncture was for her. She felt that it really minimized some of the chemo side-effects and "rebalanced" her body's energy. I had had a few sessions of acupuncture many years ago, and I immediately knew that this would be right for me. I believe in its efficacy and definitely feel the sessions have been very beneficial.

Beating Breast Cancer - One Cancer Patient's Story of Success With the 3 A's of Healing By Sandra L Gahlinger Platinum Quality Author

I've been where you are. I've heard the dreaded words, "I'm sorry. It was cancer." It's something I wouldn't wish on anyone. Yet, if you or someone you love have heard those words, I'd like to share something I stumbled across that helped me beat breast cancer - and led to rapid healing after surgery.
In fact, I had a double mastectomy. My four-hour surgery took just under two hours - and that was to the time it took to remove the breasts AND reconstruct them. I was told that I wouldn't get my implants right away. (I did.) I expected heavy bruising, but it was minimal. I was also told my ports would be in for about a week. Yet, they were removed the next day.
Now, can you expect these same results? I can't say.
I've been hesitant to share my secret publicly because frankly, some of it can seem quite wierd.
My philosophy with cancer was, "I'll do whatever works. I'll do what I have to do, and use everything at my disposal."
Here are my 3 A's of Healing:
1. Allopathic - Allopathic medicine is regular, western medicine. It's surgery, morphine, lumpectomies, etc. I find that a lot of people are blatantly opposed to western medicine, or they don't trust it. (Most doctors are there for the love of what they do and want to use their gifts to help you.) There are the extreme "new age, woo woo" types who feel they "shouldn't" use allopathic medicine. Their belief goes something like this: That somehow, by using western medicine, they aren't trusting "the universe"...that if their connection to "the universe" or God or whatever were strong enough, the disease would heal itself. It is possible, however, that the universe delivers solutions and healing in the form of surgery or a pill.
2. Alternative - These are things like essential oils, herbs, chiropractic. It's now more commonly called "complementary medicine". These are other branches of medicine - usually Eastern in origin - that can help you access your body's natural capacity to heal itself. Your body DOES have the capacity to heal itself. Think about it - if you get a cut or scrape, you don't fret about whether or not you'll get better. You just KNOW that it'll heal. Some studies say that our body regularly has errant cells, like cancer, but our bodies destroy these cells. Alternative therapies can help you access the mind/body/spirit connection that can "flip the switch" and help your body do what it always does - heal.

Diagnosed skin cancer healed

In the fall of 2008, an unsightly growth appeared on my forehead. I’d witnessed and experienced healings of illness, injury, loss, and other challenges in our family throughout my life, and it was natural to turn first to Christian Science prayer-based treatment. I also called a Christian Science practitioner for support.

However, as the growth got bigger, so did my fear, which prompted me to see a dermatologist. A biopsy was performed, and I was told that this was skin cancer, caused by heredity and prior sun damage. Radiation or surgery was given as options for removal. Surgery was scheduled with a specialist because the doctor felt the growth was too large for him to remove, and that plastic surgery might also be required.

As this information was being presented, an angel message of spiritual strength assured me that I did have a third, and better, choice. It became clear to me that medical options offer a temporary material fix, whereas metaphysical healing through Christian Science provides a permanent spiritual solution. Fear, self-condemnation, and family members’ concerns had seemed to be reasons to seek a medical diagnosis. I now know that there needed to be much more alertness every day, on my part, to what Mary Baker Eddy referred to as “animal magnetism,” the idea that there is a power at work in our lives opposed to God.

Meeting and speaking with the Christian Science practitioner again on a regular basis gave me a renewed sense of my spiritual identity, and the confidence to cancel the surgery. The medical staff called, concerned about the canceled appointment, but I assured them that I was in good care and relying on Christian Science treatment. I knew that healing was going on, and felt more and more confident that I could totally trust and yield to the power of God’s love and care.

For about three months, with help from the practitioner, both theories of heredity and irreversible sun damage were prayerfully addressed head-on. Many articles from the early Sentinels and Christian Science Journals were shared, and the CD Anthology of Classic Articles was my companion in the car. I especially enjoyed Louise Knight Wheatley’s article “The smell of fire.” In the article, residual symptoms related to past history are identified as the false belief that error did happen, and has a history. Trust in the one God delivers us from fiery trials of false beliefs, without a hint of damage, no sting, no remembrance of anything ungodlike ever existing, just as it did for Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the Bible (see Daniel, chapter 3). Always walking with us, as in the furnace, is the redeeming, comforting Christ-presence.

Karuna Reiki&reg- Miraculous Healing for Cancer Patient
by Lorena and David Solinger

On a November Tuesday we received a call from our friend Earl that his dearly beloved mother, Darlene, was dying. One week prior she had been in perfect health. Then suddenly all of her motor coordination became disjointed and she became unable to speak in complete sentences. She was diagnosed with brain cancer. The doctor gave a prognosis of approximately 30 days for Darlene to live.

We told Earl that we would see her in the next week or two to say our good-byes as she was hospitalized more than two hours from our home.

On Thursday Earl called again telling us that his mother's condition had been downgraded and she had worsened considerably. Her medical condition would allow her to be coherent for perhaps only a few more days. Earl said, "If you desire to see my mom you should do so right away."

Friday we went to the hospital. Prior to arriving at the hospital we performed distance Reiki on both Darlene and her family in anticipation of her treatment. Upon arriving we found Darlene to be in excellent spirits yet tired and drained, and at the same time very peaceful. Our dear friend said, "I am at peace. Whatever God has in store for me I am ready." There was finality in her words and beautiful acceptance in her voice. As we continued our visit we began to treat her with Karuna Reiki®. Within minutes Darlene's speech began to improve. One visitor in the room stated to Darlene, "You're starting to talk in more complete sentences."

Cancer Is the Symptom of Something Much Deeper - An Alternative Cancer Cure By Carol E Patterson

Cancer is a disease which touches one in five people. The mysteries of the disease seem to evade even the most well-known oncologists. However, there are alternative cancer cures. Cancer can be cured by changing your lifestyle in such a way that you begin to live an "Anti-Cancer" lifestyle. I have developed an "Anti-Cancer Diet" comprised of cancer fighting foods which can be found on the shelves of the grocery store. Our bodies have miraculous recuperative abilities. A miracle cancer cure occurs "when you get your mind, body and spirit working in 'sync' with one another." Changing your food is not the only change you need to make. "Thoughts are things" and you have "thought yourself into illness." Since you have "thought yourself into illness" logical thought progression shows that you can "think yourself into wellness." This is not an easy concept to grasp at first, but when you take time to consider alternative cancer cures and alternative cancer therapy a new realization happens. Many times the simplest solution is the best solution.
Before I had cancer I was an international fashion designer with a television show on Home Shopping Network and the Shopping Channel in Canada. I had several businesses and life seemed to be thriving.
I was engaged to be married to my business partner. While on a business trip to China, I tried to call home to my fiance. Call it woman's intuition, but I had a very bad feeling. My feeling turned out to be justified. I received a call on my cell phone while in China from the Sheriff of my home town telling me that my fiance had died of a heart attack.
That news shook me to the core of my existence after I stopped screaming for hours.
I flew home to collect the body only to find out my fiancé had another life that did not include me. He was gay; actually bisexual. He died before he could hide the evidence of his other life. This was September 2005. I had a double shock, the shock of his death, and the shock of the reality that he had a life which did not include me.
I was an emotional mess filled with a combination of anger, rage and sadness. I hid the truth from family and friends because I wanted to bury him with honor. My prayers for a very happy marriage with family and friends were answered, but not the way I was expecting.
I had been betrayed on what was to be the happiest time of my life; my wedding.
Within two years of my partner's death, in May of 2007 I was diagnosed with throat cancer. The doctors were perplexed because I was not the typical profile of a person who gets this disease.
I went to the University if Virginia for Chemo and Radiation cancer treatment. I nearly died from the treatment of this type of cure for cancer. I lost 60 pounds, but the cancer was in remission.
With my immune system down, I got an amoeba in my eye that ate the cornea and blood vessels and I had a heart attack. I recovered from both illnesses.

Healed of uterine cancer

Posted by admin in Physical Healings on Apr 5th, 2010 | one response

By Phyllis Tryon, Great Falls, Montana

In September 2007, I was diagnosed with uterine cancer following a hysterectomy. When I heard the lab report, I thought that must a mistake – they had someone else’s uterus! When you are told something like that, your mind can’t seem to wrap around it.

Prior to the hysterectomy, I had been bleeding almost constantly for a year and a half. It started when I was 54 years old. At that age, I suddenly hemorrhaged and had an emergency ablation, a procedure where they cauterize the uterine lining. It’s supposed to stop or diminish unusual bleeding. Only for me, it didn’t.

After the ablation, I kept bleeding. My gynecologist kept telling me I just needed to get through menopause, but she never did any blood work to check.

She then put me on a regimen of hormone therapy to try to force my body into menopause. The pharmacist tried to tell me not to take the hormones, but I blindly followed my doctor’s advice.

Finally I demanded a hysterectomy and then got the cancer diagnosis. By this time I was 55-1/2 years old. The doctor said she was confident the cancer was contained. However, the lab report said there was no “clear surgical margin,” meaning, she might have cut through the cancer.

I needed a catscan. The doctor made appointments for me with an oncologist, a radiologist, and a specialist in Billings.

I had the catscan and the gynocologist told me it was normal. She said the specialist would do a labroscopic surgery to stage the cancer. They would remove some lymph nodes in the abdomen and remove my ovaries. I was confident I was fine.

Finally, about three weeks following my diagnosis, I saw the specialist. He said, “Your catscan is NOT normal.” He said the cancer had not been contained. Instead of a staging, he suggested immediate radiation with chemotherapy to follow.

I felt like I was in a fog. To my benefit, each of the doctors I met said they believed I would beat this, that it was curable. But it was vital that we attack it hard and beat it now. A recurring cancer would not be good news.

I was scheduled for 7 weeks of radiation, 5 days a week, followed by 6 chemotherapy treatments, one every 3 weeks.

God's Healing Grace.

Forum: True Life Stories Date: 2001, Apr 25 From: Peter Smith <psmith@prime.net.sa>

I must start this with some demographic information. I am employed by a U.S. company in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. My wife Judy and our daughter Jennifer, accompany me on this assignment. At the beginning of the following witness, one of our sons was living in Dallas, Texas and the other was living in Seal Beach, California; subsequently, to date they are both living in Dallas. Judy and I and Jennifer, have come to the Catholic faith while living here in Saudi Arabia. I have worked and lived in Saudi Arabia since September of 1992 and Judy and Jennifer since January of 1995. ------------------------------------------------------------- While on vacation, (in Dallas, Texas) during the summer of 1998, I noticed blood in my urine just as we were getting ready to return to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Upon our return our return, I went to the consulting clinic our company uses for primary medical care. I saw an Urologist and after several tests, it was determined that I probably had some form of bladder cancer. My doctor determined it was necessary to do a cystoscopic examination and if possible, remove any cancer that may be present. In October, as a result of the exam, cancer was found and most was removed during the exam. Upon discovering that I truly had cancer, I was devastated, while worrying about everything our Lord brought into focus conditions earlier that summer. Where only prayer and total confidence in Him brought Judy, me, and several others through a very tense time. I prayed and laid the entire burden of the cancer at his feet. It was the only way I could function. I gave Him my life and asked that what ever would come of it that it would be for His Glory. After recovering from the first exam/surgery, one more surgery and 8 weeks of Chemotherapy ensued. As a result, it was resolved that the cancer appeared to be in remission. Everything was invasive and as a result, I developed a bad infection at the surgery sight resulting in considerable bleeding. The infection was a very resistant strain of bacteria so it took several tries to get a good antibiotic agent.

Testimony: Healed by Jesus

Quote: No affliction would trouble a child of God, if he knew God's reasons for sending it. - Morgan

The Lord Jesus is the great physician who can heal anyone of anything!  I have had several key experiences in my life which I attribute to the workings of God's grace.  In a crisis in life every time we act (or fail to act) reflects on our faith.  Every test of our faith either proves us true or reveals our weakness.  When one hears the word "cancer" our natural tendency is to shrink in fear.  The story I am about to tell is how Jesus healed me of cancer and gave me hope.  It is my prayer that you will be strengthened in your walk with the Lord from hearing it.

Healed as a Child

When I was about one year old my family lived in a house with floor furnaces.  You don't find many houses with them anymore.  Even in my parents home they have been covered over by carpet and replaced by modern central heat and air conditioning.  I can remember Daddy having to lift the heavy floor grates to light the pilots as winter approached.  One morning I walked on to the floor furnace.  I cried because my feet were seared on the furnace grate.  I stood still in fear.  Momma grabbed me up and put butter over the burns on my feet but the blisters were growing and I was screaming.  My parents called Granny and she came over.  She raised her children with a strong belief in God.  Granny sat me on her lap and began praying scriptures quietly as she rubbed my feet.  I'm not certain but I think one of them was Isaiah 43:2 ...when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned.  My crying subsided.  Jesus heard her prayer and sent healing to my little feet.  Granny died a few months later so I never really knew her.  What I do know of her is that she loved her grandson and prayed for me as a godly woman.  This was my first experience of healing.  I had to learn to walk all over again as a result of these burns.  I think God can use misfortune and tragic circumstances in our lives to bring about good.  Sometimes it is to strengthen the faith of those around us.  Sometimes it is to help us learn to walk the way the Lord wants us to.

TRUE STORY - 2 OF A FORMER CANCER PATIENT

PAUL LLOYD WARNER Composer and Performing Artist This is a true story of a woman who had breast cancer. A friend gave her a copy of Paul Lloyd Warner's MIRACLE OF DOLPHINS piano albums. After listening to the music continuously, she went into remission.

TRUE STORY - 2
OF A FORMER CANCER PATIENT

 In 1990 I was fortunate to meet my future manager and best friend, A.J. Goodwin. I took him to a summer art show in the month of June in the village of Jenner, California, where the Russian River meets the Pacific Ocean. I had been exhibiting and marketing my music at this small, yet lovely art show, for several years and always looked forward to driving up the California coast and through Redwood forests to get to Jenner.

A.J. and I set up the music exhibition booth in a park just across from the ocean where the art show was being held. Shortly after the show opened at 10:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning, a middle aged woman came over to the table where the CDs and cassettes were neatly exhibited. Music was playing softly through a portable sound system. She went up to A.J., who was selling my music for the very first time. In fact, this woman was his second or third customer. The lady pointed to MIRACLE OF DOLPHINS piano cassette, The Miracle of Dolphins LP Cover, solo piano, published in 1983.put her finger on the tape exclaimed out loud: "This music saved my life!". I was busy with another customer at the far end of the table and did not hear the woman's declaration. She told A.J. that she had had breast cancer and it was a particularly bad case. Her husband and children were very worried about her future. A friend had given her MIRACLE OF DOLPHINS and there was something in the music that she could not explain, but that it gave her a desire to keep on living. She listened to the cassette continuously over a period of many months while at home in between her cancer therapy. She knew that she could not die and leave her husband and children so she put her faith in God and the music which gave her hope to continue to live.

If You Think Modern Medicine Has All the Answers, Stop Reading Now If, however, you believe that we have just scratched the surface of finding out the causes and prevention of many diseases, including cancer, read on. My life changed forever the day the doctor told me that my mother had cancer. I have been a Registered Nurse for 12 years and I have seen many patients with terminal cancer. Paralyzed with fear that my Mom would suffer an agonizing death, I desperately began searching for something that would help her achieve a gentle passing. There were few options and they all involved the same deal: sacrifice quality of life and risk losing your life in exchange for a very small chance of being totally cured of cancer. The medical treatments available were dangerous and debilitating, and they failed far more often than they succeeded.  My Mom was the best and she also deserved only the very best in her hour of need. I got down on my knees and asked God to help me find a better way.

Our Christmas Miracle

Christmas 2000

Let me tell you about the snowy Christmas Day that we were blessed by a healing visit from a true Christmas Angel and the miracle that she blessed us with. We now know that miracles do happen and that if you are open to receiving, they can come at any time! I give you a little background, so you can understand the blessing we received that day! Dave was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 lung and bone cancer. Radiation 5 days a week and once a week Chemotherapy treatments had been leaving him quite drained.

The Doctors have not been able to tell Dave how much time he had left, so we are looking at an optimistic ten year plan, yet at the same time taking care of his affairs. Many people have been offering us their healing advice. We have gotten suggestions ranging from jumping up and down on a trampoline to this very healing Essiac Tea! Because the cancer in the spinal column has deteriorated Dave’s top three discs, we have decided not to go the trampoline route! Due to a near-death experience a number of years ago, Dave has a good connection to Spirit and has been able to sift through all the well meaning suggestions and take what works best for his healing.

Some might say that the radiation cured her. Be that so, I feel the hand of God was guiding it. When my wife was a few months away from her fifty first birthday, she felt a pain in her left breast. She examined herself and felt a small lump. She told me about it and I advised her to make a rush appointment with her doctor. Her doctor was out of town for a week so she made an appointment for the next day to see the doctors husband, who was also a doctor. Upon her examination the doctor said it would be wise to operate and remove the lump. My wife wanted a second opinion from her regular doctor. About a week later she visited her doctor who tried to extract some liquid from the lump but it was so hard that she could not pierce it. The doctor advised her to see a specialist and she gave her the name of doctor who specialized in this type of problem. After visiting the specialist and having xray taken, the results confirmed the lump in her breast. The doctor advised my wife to go into the hospital and have a biopsy taken to see if the lump was cancerous.

              When you are told there is no hope, just go home and die, don't believe the lie.  Watch this miraculous story that has brought true hope millions across the world. 

God told Cindy in December of 2006 that sometime during the upcoming year she would come close to death, but not die.   On March 11th, 2007, Cindy Russell was diagnosed with a massive cancerous tumor (bile duct cancer) that had consumed over 75% of her liver.  Doctors from our nation's top cancer centers including Johns Hopkins, the Mayo Clinic, and Pittsburgh's UPMC liver transplant center all concurred that Cindy's condition was terminal, giving her less than six months to live.  Through all of the many, sometimes painful tests, scans, procedures, and operations, Cindy held on tight to God's promise to her; her faith never wavering for one moment. On July 10th, four months to the day she was sent home to die, Cindy Russell was cancer free!  Where her tumor marker CA19-9 , a protein that indicates the presence of cancer, was once over 37,000  now is completely normal (<10); where once a massive cancerous tumor almost a foot long protruded out from Cindy's abdomen, praise God, today a totally regenerated liver now functions perfectly.

DEL'S TESTIMONY

In May 1984 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I underwent surgery to have the prostate and approximately 30 lymph nodes removed. Pathology reports indicated that cancer had spread into the lymph nodes, which placed me in the category of a terminal patient. After surgery, I opted for an alternative treatment, and for the next 12 years that was able to keep it in check. During the past year, however, it started to become more active and harder to control. A bone scan and CT scan of October 30, 1996 showed cancer in a number of spots in the spine, pelvis, and shoulder as well as in some lymph nodes. I had been very fortunate that I continued to feel quite well during this time.

Felicia Healed of Cancer - Her Story

---

By Leo Fasciocco as told by Felicia Bradley

Bert and Felcia Bradley of Santa Monica, Ca., sent out their Christmas cards with a letter. In it they said: "We are all blessed with good health, including Felicia who continues to outwit the medical profession with her prayer group."
Felicia, the mother of three boys and one girl, has been fighting a battle with cancer. Her condition was first discovered at St. John's hospital in Santa Monica. Following the diagnosis, Felicia underwent six weeks of cobalt treatment.
"I was shocked," she said. "I remember biting my lip and saying, 'Oh God! How could you do this to me.'"
However, despite it all, Felicia and her husband Bert, a convert to Catholicism contined going to mass and Holy Communion at their parish church, St. Paul's in West Los Angeles.
It was around this time that Felicia and Bert, both members of the Christian Family Movement and seven other couples decided to attend a charismatic mass at Loyola University, Los Angeles. They went there as members of the Christian Family Movement seeking to learn more about the charismatic renewal in the church. However, they were not impressed.
"It seemed far out and weird, what with tongues (glossalalia) and the atmosphere," Felicia recalls. It may have been fine for some people, but not for us. Time passed and Felicia went for another bone scan test at St. John's Hospital. This time the scan showed "positive," thus indicating that cancer would probably develop in her rib cage and numerous spots along the spine.
"I really became upset," says Felicia. "Being a registered nurse myself , I knew the vast implications. My doctor told me to se an oncologist, a cancer specialist.

There Is a Love Story - How to Care For a Spouse With Cancer By Richard C. Milton Platinum Quality Author

After five years of being sweethearts, Joel and May eventually tie the knot. Their love story would have been a typical event of common lovers, except that May was diagnosed with malignant tumor clinically a diagnosis of Cervical Cancer stage IV. Joel already knew of this disease even before they got married. But he loved her too much to even think twice of marrying her. During their honeymoon, Joel made love to her only once and after that she was hurried to the nearest hospital. The doctor explained to Joel that due to the sensitivity of her disease and her fragile stage he could not continue a physical contact with May. Every day of their married life, Joel kept vigil at her side. He cooked meals, washes their clothes, feed and work at the same time to provide the need of her wife. Every one on Joel's side of family was adamant with his actions. They thought that Joel had lost his mind and will waste years of his life caring and loving a sickly woman who could not reciprocate his needs as a husband. And after ten months of being married and 5 years and 10 months of being together, May took her last breath beside her loving husband. During the funeral mass, Joel expresses his love and happiness during the short period of being married to a woman who now laid to rest.

Miracles Do Happen - You Can Cure Yourself Of Cancer By Carol E Patterson

My story is one of a woman who survived cancer with alternative cancer treatment. When I was diagnosed with cancer the second time, all the visions of pain, medical procedures, doctors, waiting rooms and horrible sickness revived in my mind. My eyes swelled with tears as I thought of the worst. How could all of this be happening to me again? I had been diagnosed with throat cancer two years earlier and treated with the normal cancer cures of chemotherapy and radiation. The cancer went into remission. With my immune system down, I attracted an amoeba in my right eye causing blindness for almost a year plus I had a heart attack and heart surgery. I survived all of these trials and was getting well again, or so I thought.

A Very Good Number: The Jack Floegel Story

The C Word
“When the doctor told me I had cancer, I just glazed over,” Jack recalled. “He was telling about my options for treatment, but I didn’t hear much after he said the ‘C’ word. That word just kept going over and over in my mind.”

Jack Floegel was 62 when an elevated PSA score was discovered during an annual exam. Six months later his score was checked again, and it was higher. Jack’s physician referred him to an urologist who performed a needle biopsy on his prostate. That’s when it was confirmed he had cancer.

Jack was now among the 200,000 American men every year diagnosed with prostate cancer. And like the others, he needed to make a tough decision on a course of action. He didn’t want to join the other group, the 32,000 fatalities annually from that disease.

Ugly Options
An engineer by profession, Jack attacked the situation with research. He wanted to learn all he could about his disease and his options for treatment, or even if treatment was needed. “I went to the internet first, which is the worst place to get information, unless you want to read horror stories,” Jack said. “The library provided much better information.”

His research showed that some men choose to do nothing, hoping the cancer doesn’t spread beyond the prostate. “The the course my father-in-law took, and he died at 60,” Jack said. “I’m not going there.” Then there is the option for radiation treatment or radioactive seed implants. “I want the cancer out,” Jack stated firmly. “And that that meant surgery.” The best change to get rid of all the cancer would be to have the entire prostate removed - a prostatectomy.
