Hi Judy, I'm not going to pretend I know what you are going through, but this last year my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, which is what killed her mother in the 1980's. My mom didn't even mess around and got a double mastectomy. I tried to talk her into contacting the
Gerson Institute before taking such drastic surgery but she is a stubborn lady. Anyway, if you haven't heard of Dr. Gerson please check her and her therapies out. There is also a documentary out there about the Gerson therapy (it's called the
Gerson Miracle) that forever changed my views on cancer and the so called 'modern treatment' of it. At the very least, watch the documentary! I promise you that it will be the most worthwhile 90 minutes of your life. Any time I meet or am in contact with cancer patients, I feel it's my duty as a human being to bring up the Gerson Institute. Her therapies have worked for thousands of 'incurable' patients. The stories these patients have written have brought tears to my eyes many times. I would have personally taken my mother to one of Dr. Gersons institutes and demanded she go through the therapy before I would have let her do chemo. After all, I am just as stubborn!
It's a shame that the United States, supposedly one of the top medical countries in the world, dismisses such therapy so readily. But then again, if hospitals can't make money off of cancer, they dismiss (and even speak out against) such inexpensive therapies. Even if they work!
Anyway, regardless of whether you look into it or not, my prayers and thoughts are with you.
