...so how did you overcome your fear so that you could wage your fight to survive?

i was diagnosed with metastacized ovarian cancer in 2002. I declined chemo and changed my diet and lifestyle and am alive 5 years later writing this.

It would be interesting to know what changes you made to your diet and lifestyle. Would those changes work in preventing cancer as well as helping control or cure it?

When I first found out.. I thought that a pit to hell had opened up beneath me and I was free falling.I faced the fact that I am mortal.

And then I reached out to other women who were living with breast cancer for support.
With their help,I realised that life is not over til it's over.

Life is a terminal condition for all of us .. but the choice you have to make is either live each day or wait to die.Making the choice to live was easy!

I told the doctors that having a healthy baby was my goal... and after that, being around to raise him, and his sister.I never took my eyes off those goals- and then decided I needed to live a life that would inspire them to live to the fullest- not to fear- I researched, found on-line support group, alternative treatments, read thousands of medical journals, questioned doctors, fired doctors, and begged for more information. I made it my business to be sure I was doing all the right things for me. Oh, and I prayed. A lot.

One Day At A Time

I was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma, a cancer that can't be cured and has a pattern of returning - even years later. The surgeon said he was surprised to find it in my cheek (the parotid, or spit, gland), before he said it was a 'carcinoma'. My husband and I went home, stunned, to tell the teenagers the news, and to figure out what next. The very next day, we rented Queen Latifah's Last Holiday, and that fixed things: I have lived the opposite that her character had - I have done just about everything I wanted to do, and had no reqrets of undone dreams. After that reminder of who I am, I started blogging information resources (truly a librarian) for anyone else facing head/neck cancer, or adenoid cystic carcinoma.
The lifestyle changes have come mainly due to treatment effects - now pretty much a raw vegetable eater since lack of saliva and taste. I have recommended that my library purchase Ms. Carr's book (and video of the documentary, if one is available) - both are must-sees for anyone new to cancer-land.

i had cancer 27 years ago and was given 4 weeks to live...
My blood was clean a week after i started ama chemo therapy


the thing is you gotta believe......ignore
all doubters. drs. machines, friends that don't believe
your body wants to heal...it just needs time and energy to do it... sure i was dying but its not like i had 30 seconds..i had 4 weeks which was plenty time to get it together....you got to believe...
