You never know how strong you are...until being strong is the only choice you have

When I discovered the unknown lump in my left breast, I knew something was wrong I had a feeling that it was cancer, I tried not to think that it was not but I can’t lie to myself like that. I didn’t know much about breast cancer, until I was assigned to prepare a persuasive speech in front of my speech class. I decided on breast cancer, I didn’t know much about it anyway and did my research. I didn’t have to prepare much or write an outline. I managed to dig deep and talked to the class unscripted. I somehow tied it all to what I was going through from the discovery of the lump and doctor visits to the fact that you or someone you know has been effected by cancer and I am one of them. Even though I didn’t know for sure at the time if I had it or not but I felt that I did. My cheeks trembled fighting back tears and that deep pain in my chest as I talked about my personal life with strangers for the first time it was scary but good it was practice for breaking the news down for my family and friends... after class one of the students came up to me and said I’ll be here for you if you need me... I was so touched by her and to confirmed I am not alone in this journey. As with many people who experience cancer, we’ve all been told we have 5 years to live with stage IV terminal cancer and there’s nothing we can do for you after conventional treatment fails. BUT I believe there IS! There are people out there who live beyond the statistics and have turn over to alternatives to fight cancer for good. That means changing your diet, eating natural foods that keep you alive, have a positive attitude, surround yourself with positive people, and following a spiritual path. For me I believe in God, for healing and restoring my health better than it was before. I pray every day for him to take this cancer away and I find comfort when I seek him. Because of my faith, I am able to live normally have the strength to live on with a purpose and believing I am healed!

Summer Updates! What is going on...

Monday, May 20, 2013 1 comments
Finals are done for the Spring '13 semester and finally declared my major in Management. One more year peoples and I am ready to get out of Texas! Find a new doctor and continue to stay healthy, positive, be stress free, and add more laughter in my life.

I was engaged last year, and I am aware it was rushed. I didn't get married right away, thank God! The man I fell in love with was different from what he appeared to be. I should have known thine lover first before saying yes. Everyone has baggage and laundry that needs cleaning to move on, let go blah bah, I was hoping that we could work it out, believing he can change, but it takes two to meet in the middle, and that didn't work so, I am not going to waste my time and energy on someone who doesn't and is not completely honest with you. It was a heartbreaking and negative relationship. My grades were poor and I ended up on probation from the business school, and needed to be on top of everything or else I would have been kicked out, my health was not doing well either, but I kept fighting to stay strong through the mess. I made a decision to move on after spring break, when I was slapped in the face with reality, I decided to do what is right and make my health and happiness a priority then worrying about a dead relationship and someone who doesn't deserve me.

So... now that I am not getting married, I can take my time finishing school and not rush. Take advantage of my free time to travel and visit fam/friends and meet new friends!

Destinations lined up:
Hawaii-Never been
Alaska
San Diego
New York
and... maybe some where else? I don't have start school until August 28th.

My infusion treatment with the Vitamin C is going well and I have a lot of energy. My cravings for meat and sugar declining. Healthy people make it sound so easy but it is not, it is a struggle man! When you didn't grow up being healthy and eating junk most of your life. I drink a little bit but not much so my liver is clean! I did use something for a while when I couldn't sleep, but now that I have eliminated the negative things... I can rest peacefully and fall asleep, and not stay up until 3-4 in morning!

That is the haps for this summer! I am happier and laughing more than I have been the past year and continuing to kick cancer's ass!

My bestie Amy sent me some verses, that brought tears to my eyes and joy in my heart! I want to share with y'all!

Wow I totally forgot to post this!

Psalm 37:3-4 Get insurance with God and do a good deed, settle down and stick to your last. Keep company with God, get in on the best.


Psalm 113:9 He grants the barren woman a home, Like a joyful mother of children. Praise the Lord!


Deuteronomy 7:14-15 You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be a male or female barren among you or among your livestock. And the Lord will take away from you all sickness...

What a date! It's been a while! I have been so busy with school, my main focus. Which is cool I don't think about the stupid cancer as much, only that I will get better and beat it and battle the urges to drink coffee and chocolate! 

Went to follow up with the alternative doc today. I will continue with the supplements for immune boost and stop inflammation, pretty much the rest of my life. I will start the intravenous vitamin C therapy soon which will target the cancer cells/tumor 2 times a week for a month for 3-5 hours depending on how many grams my blood can handle the vitamin. He didn't promise that it will get rid of cancer, but just said his patients have cured their chronic illnesses and other diseases with this treatment. Pretty excited to get started!

I am on spring break right now and studying what?! I know that's why I am taking a break to go to SXSW the rest of the week in Austin to listen and tap my foot to music for a few days. I would love to travel but can't gotta save money for my treatments and comic con in San Diego! :)

Updates for Feb

Saw that onco yesterday finally been so busy with studying last week I forgot my appointment and shots! I also missed a pill of Anastozole (pill that slow or stop the growth of many types of breast cancer cells that need estrogen to grow) I take every day need to set a timer for that lol getting old! 
The tumor is less predominate in my left breast, tumor marker level went down to 43 from the last 59. He wants to continue to do the same treatment, bring the levels down, and make sure it is stable. He didn't bring up anything about surgery or asked me if I made a decision to remove my ovaries, so that is good cause I don't want too.
I believe my side treatment is helping a lot too and the cut back on sugar, vitamin/mineral boost. :)

I found out a friend's relative was diagnosed with advance cancer, the parents did not tell anyone, they have no insurance for treatment and just given up on life. If you know someone or go through this experience always know that there are non profits out there that can help with treatment and medical bills for uninsured patients or get on a study for research.

Alternative med and New Years resolution

Sunday, December 30, 2012 0 comments
Made a visit to local clinic after Christmas and it went well. Doc said that the diets I am doing and supplements I am taking now is good but is not good enough and can be better! Right now I have to do many tests to check my nutrients and chemicals in my body and find out what is really causing the breast inflammation and preventing me from getting completely healed. So this new year I am going on a strict diet! No liquor Animal fats etc.... This treatment plan... Not sure how long I will be on it but I'm sure it will take some time get my body cleansed and back to normal. This place is out of pocket only and no insurance can cover, usually is with this type of practices. The first appointment cost $395 and after that 95 a visit per hour. Yikes! But thanks to my friends and friends of friends I have enough to get me by :)

The Plans: $2000+
Tests-
RBC elemental analysis
Spot iodine
Oral chelation
Spectra nutrient profile
Blood hormone estrogen
Genomic detox profile

Monthly:
Supplements after tests- $48-86
Onco x
Oncoplex
Iodoral
Vit D 5000

Inflammation- $49-74
Wobenzyme
Curcurplex cr
Reseratrol
Omega 780

Liver- $44
Biocleanse

New oncologist recommendation: works with patients who seek alternative med I need to do some research on her and meet soon. My current onco does not do anything with immune or health to help fight cancer.

Diet-
If it is not on the sheet don't eat it :) I have the Core Food Plan: Enjoy a rainbow of food every day list.

Lowest Tumor Marker Level Ever!

Tuesday, December 11, 2012 2 comments
Yesterday went in for my follow up with the oncologist, I see him once every two months now. The cancer is declining and the tumor is continuing to get softer and is less prominent than it was 3 months ago.
The cancer antigen results is 59 from 114 in September. Normal range is 39-. How cool is that?! Onco, brought up removing my ovaries so I don't have to take the hormone blocker shot anymore, but I would still have to take Zometa the bone builder and Arimidex cancer cell killer.
I am thinking about it, but if I can control my hormones with organic diet(Eating Cruciferous Vegetables) then I don't need to remove anything. It is really about about diet to improve quality of life naturally and eating foods that don't kill ya! Along with that praying and believing in healing also helps! :) God keeps me calm through my journey and he will pull me out of this when it is time!
