I have been a long time in posting to this group, although I have
lurked, read, and appreciated all of your postings. The participants
of this newsgroup have been a resource for links to alternative
therapies. I thank you for this information and in advance for future
information that will come forth.

Cancer, just the word, has to be one of the most evil and devastating
sounds uttered by mankind. It evokes fear and fright…it exposes
weakness and vulnerability. Yet if we choose, the result of this
intrusion upon life, good things may come as a product.

Although I am ill qualified to make suggestions as to how one with
cancer should proceed, I offer my experience that it may benefit
someone.

One year ago, last April 2000, my wife age 42, was suffering with hip
and groin pain, pains that brought her to tears during the night.

After going to the doctor and receiving muscle relaxing drugs and mild
pain killers, there was no change. It was thought that she was
suffering from Arthritis or early osteoporosis. She is a teacher of
twenty years and before returning for the 2000-2001 school year, I
insisted she have a complete physical. This was late August of 2000.
After a mammogram they discovered a lump in her left breast less than
one inch in diameter. A subsequent needle biopsy confirmed our worse
fears, malignant breast cancer. No lymph nodes were swollen but it
was recommended that a mastectomy followed by chemo and radiation be
performed. September 13th, I will never forget that date, as I spent
the entire night on the Internet researching cancer. I found sites
concerning raw and living foods, laetrile, gerson
therapy, Hulda Clark , Johanna Budwig, Flax seed, household toxins,
Rife technology, Zappers, Syncronometers, CoQ-10, MSN, MGN, and last
but not least "life style changes". September 15th we engaged.
Cleaned house, tossed all meats, dairy, banished processed foods, went
raw, and no white poisons. I put my credit card to use on the
internet and purchased numerous cancer modalities. We still did not
feel safe. We sought second opinions, first a private oncologist that
came very highly recommended, and secondly the University of Nebraska
at Omaha. We were given the same recommendations. At this point we
felt she had a very good chance for curbing the spread of the cancer,
but she was still suffering immensely from pain in her hips, lower
back, and groin. As a prerequisite of surgery, she was required to
have a MRI and bone scan. We did that locally and to our total
dismay, it was revealed to us that she had cancer in her bones. Not
just a single bone, but throughout her skeleton. Her knees, hips,
ileum, sternum, ribs, spine, essentially everything except her skull.
A bone marrow sample was performed and confirmed the worst possible
scenario, metastasized Breast Cancer to the bone, stage four. Date
October 5th. I had, as a precaution, already made an appointment at
Mayo Clinic, Rochester Minnesota, for what I though was going to be
another of our second/second opinions concerning the lump and hence,
called and confirmed. We packed for a three to four week stay, as
instructed by Mayo, thinking there would be clinical studies or a
modality that would give us hope. We arrived on a Monday, first
appointment Tuesday at 6:45 AM and continued through the day with
numerous exams including stereoscopic x-rays etc. At 5:30 P.M., the
same day, we met with three specialists who had reviewed our tests.


The verdict: get your affairs in order. Upon pressuring the lead
specialist for a professional prognosis he stated, "You will be on
morphine by January". Upon further prodding for the time involved,
i.e. "How much time do we have" he said, "Two months to possibly a
year". I asked the specialist, "How in the world can you call this
breast cancer when she has been hurting in her hips since last April
and the minute lump was found in September?". He must of realized
how stern I was for answers as his reply was," Let me tell you how we
developed nomenclature for cancers. The first
cancer that is found is biopsied under a light microscope and a
picture of the cell structure is sketched. Any subsequent cancers
that appear are biopsied and if the cell structure is similar they are
classified as a metastasized form of the primary cancer". I thought,
what bunk, as I wanted proof as in nuclear magnetic resonance
spectrometry, cell studies, DNA analysis, or anything other than a
non-artists rendition of cell shape. We headed back to Nebraska the
next day in total shock. I was numb and hardly remember the trip. I
did however remember one statement concerning the stereoscopic
x-rays.


The X-ray specialist said there appears to be healing sites
in the ribs and sternum. I asked how he differentiated these from
active cancer sites and he replied, "They appear as if osteoporosis
has set in which is different than active cancer sites". This was the
ray of hope that I believe got us back home. After arriving home I
could not get the words "healing sites" out of my mind. We had made a
drastic dietary\environmental change just 20 days prior to the Mayo
visit and I knew something was happening. Let me explain, this was
nothing intuitive or spiritual but just plain apparent, as I had lost
18 lbs with the diet change. Not only the weight loss confirmed my
hypothesis, but the total digestive health I was now experiencing was
nothing less than phenomenal. I was a 6-8 pill-a-day xyantac user
prior to the diet change, and now was acid reflux free! I could go on
with details concerning our nutritional\life style changes but feel I
have said enough tonight. This is a long posting and I apologize for
my rambling. As this is my first posting to any newsgroup, I would
appreciate responses. Thank you Deb (dear Sis) for breaking me out.

PS My wife is more alive than ever, teaching, loving, mothering, and
celebrating life!
