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.

Healing Miracle

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.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, JESUS CHRIST HEALED ME OF INCURABLE BREAST CANCER

I had not attended a Protestant Church service before, since I was strict Roman Catholic; but I was scheduled for major surgery and I was afraid.

I had breast cancer and since the breast cancer nightmare began I had endured 3 breast cancer operation.  Now I was facing the fight for my life - the breast cancer has spread and I had to be operated on for the total removal of my breast.

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.

Successful Cancer Battle, My Mother's True Story of Hope Was it a miracle, the doctor, resveratrol, carboplatin? You tell me! Robert Fassbach , editor, www.seniorark.com

Ursula Barbara (Michael) Fassbach ( Mum )

July 15, 1907 - May 1, 2001

           

           

SHE DID NOT GIVE UP

( nor should you )

When she was baptized Ursula Barbara Michael in 1907 at the Dorseyville Lutheran Evangelical Reformed Church, just over the hill from her farm, no one could have imagined that 92 years later she would be waging a winning battle against stage 4 ovarian cancer. She called it "God's Miracle". I overheard her gynecological oncologist at Magee Women's Hospital tell a group of medical students, "Now I will show you my miracle". Please understand, I would never discount the power of God, or the abilities of this prominent doctor. But I want to introduce yet another possible factor.

Her abdomen had expanded to the size of a woman in her 9th month of pregnancy. (I'm told this is a liquid byproduct of this cancer.) The cancer had spread to other organs. She told us not to worry. God would take the cancer from her body. Her whole life had been lived with this sense of faith. The doctor said that the best he could do was to give a sharply reduced amount of carboplatin chemotherapy because of her age. And the 20%-of-normal dose would only be given monthly, not weekly. Perhaps she would last a few months that way.

Life After Cancer and an Anniversary of Sorts By Jerry Shelly

Just sitting here, trying to decide if I want to work on my knitting or play with clay, when it hit me. It was about this time in 2006 when my life was turned upside down. I got the phone call telling me "it's not what we hoped". And here I am. Four years later. Wow. And thanks to whoever makes those decisions. Thanks to an outstanding group of physicians. Even you, Eeyore.
My hair is grown out, just past my shoulders. It's still not my hair, but I've worked out a deal with it. My eyelashes are just weird. I'm numb down my left side. I take the medications, just like Eeyore tells me to. There are many, many side effects to them, but none of them are as bad as being dead. Or at least I don't think so.

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.

Trini Parsons—Cancer Scare Strengthens Connection to God

Trini Parsons has seen her share of women with breast cancer. As an x-ray technologist at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center, that's hardly surprising. But in the summer of 2005, she came across a cancer patient in an unusual place—her own mirror.

What Parsons has learned about herself since then has been enlightening. “I am much more upbeat,” she says. “I don't let things get me down. I am much calmer about many things.”

Diane Schooley-Pettis—Never Give Up

BSU PROFESSOR OVERCOMES BOUT WITH PANCREATIC CANCER

Diane Schooley-Pettis was looking forward to the basketball game in San Antonio more than five years ago, where she would get a chance to see Michael Jordan play in person. But the Boise State University (BSU) associate dean and finance professor wasn't even able to make it through the entire game.

“I told my husband I had terrible pain, and I couldn't tell if it was in my back or my abdomen,” says Schooley-Pettis. The pain marked the beginning of a tough road ahead for Schooley-Pettis. Upon her return to Boise, the 41-year-old was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer.

Tammy Sherner—Over the Edge

THE GIFT
Like most women, I know the importance of breast cancer screening. For each birthday I give myself a little “gift”, my annual mammogram. In 2007, my “gift” came with a pink bow - I had breast cancer.
I’ve been a nurse at Saint Alphonsus for eight years, mostly with the inpatient Behavioral Health Unit. Lately I’ve spent more time in meetings than using my nursing skills. Through my work with the Nurse Council, on Magnet and other projects, I have come to know nurses all over the hospital. Those relationships would prove invaluable with the arrival of my cancer.

Still Flying: The Larry Grimmett Story

Like Father

As Larry heard the doctor’s diagnosis, memories of his father came back. He remembered that his had died from prostate cancer only a few years earlier, and now he has prostate cancer. Larry Grimmett, a 56 year-old financial advisor wasn’t ready for what he saw his father go through. “I was scared,” confessed Larry.

Like most men in Larry’s situation, there’s fear of the unknown, fear of life-altering side effects from treatment, and the fear of a slow death like his father. Fortunately for Larry, the past several years have brought new treatment options that his father never had. Larry just had to make a decision.

According to the American Cancer Society, prostate cancer is the most common non skin cancer in America. While 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, men with a single relative with a history of prostate cancer are twice as likely to develop the disease. As the second leading cause of cancer death in American men, behind only lung cancer, about 1 man in 36 will die of prostate cancer.

Carl Engle—A Modern Miracle

Amazingly, two weeks after surgery for prostate cancer, Carl Engle hiked five miles in the Boise foothills. To his buddy, who also had prostate cancer surgery, and has a 4-inch scar across his belly to prove it, that was a miracle. To Carl, that was only part of the miracle.

It was a day in 2001, when he heard Saint Alphonsus announcing free prostate screenings. A native Idahoan, and co-owner of CJ Precision Machine in Boise, Carl is a baby boomer who, like many of his generation, spent most of his life taking his good health for granted. But on this particular day, he felt urgency from within to take up the free offer and have a prostate check-up. Being an active kind of guy, Carl expected a clean bill of health.

Janelle Sweaney—Looking Back, Looking Forward

A patient recalls her cancer experience and those who helped her get through it.
You've heard them called “the good old days.” Maybe they were those idyllic, childhood moments spent playing in the afternoons; maybe they were Spring Break road trips when gasoline was less than a dollar (or two dollars) a gallon.

For Janelle Sweaney, the good old days weren't that long ago. Just three years ago, she was 23 and working, having fun and being carelessly happy. “I was out just enjoying life, not thinking of consequences and not having a care in the world,” she says. But those so-called good old days took a sudden turn.

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.

Real Miracle, Healing Stories: Cancer

Friendly Advice

Hal remembers his friend’s words. “He said he would’ve been okay if he would’ve had regular prostate exams,” Hal recalls. So after his friend died of prostate cancer, Hal Harris, a 45 year-old cattle rancher, began to have regular physical exams. That decision may have saved his life.

Annual exams for men Hal’s age typically include a PSA blood test and a physical exam to check the prostate. An elevated PSA score can be an early warning sign of prostate cancer. While Hal’s PSA scores were consistently low, a physical exam of his prostate raised concerns.

Second Opinion
“My doctor found bumps on my prostate,” Hal said. “I didn’t know what that meant, but I was referred to an urologist for a biopsy.” The needle biopsy results came back revealing that Hal, now 53, had prostate cancer.

“I knew God would get me through this,” he recalls. “I ask the doctor what my options were so I get on with it.” Hal’s urologist gave him two options. Both were open surgery solutions. “He told me that with either approach I would need to give blood before the surgery, because there would be a lot of blood loss, and he said I would be laid up for some time.”

While Hal was considering his options, a friend who had just had prostate surgery learned of Hal’s situation. The friend had prostate surgery performed by David B. Rice, M.D. with Idaho Urologic Institute. But what got Hal’s attention was that the surgery was performed at Saint Alphonsus using a surgical robot called the da Vinci.
