On November 14, 2008, I received a MRI for breast cancer. Of course, I had a grade three invasive ductal carcinoma of the left breast. Before the MRI, they ordered a biopsy of the breast, lymph nodes, and bone. All three were positive. The next step was the MRI.

When you receive a breast MRI, they pick up apart of the liver. They saw lesions on the exposed part of the liver on my first MRI. The radiologist order a PET, CT, bone scans, and the removal of my left breast. He put in his summary that I was in the late states of cancer.

The reason for this article is not about my left breast. It’s about my right breast. He saw a smug on it and he ordered a six-month follow up MRI. Something happened from the first to the MRI and it left the doctors perplexed.

When the surgeon studied the scans, he refused to do the surgery because he did not have enough healthy tissue to close the breast. It was decided to shrink the tumor that looked so large on the MRI. It had a large vein feeding it. The tumor was taking everything that I had to offer.

On Dec. 4th, 2008, I received my first chemo and target drugs. On Dec. 23, 2008, I had my second infusion of chemo and drugs. When the doctor examined my breast, it had completely changed. Before the drugs, it was hard like an orange and distorted. With my second infusion, the breast was soft, hanging normally, and the nipple had popped out. What was stranger was that you couldn’t feel anything hard inside the breast. Where was the tumor? So far, it never reappeared.

They ordered a CT scan on February 3rd, 2009 so they could peak inside the body. They found nothing in the left breast and the lymph nodes. In some place on my liver, the cancer was gone. The places I had left measured a drop of 70%. Again, they couldn’t find a dead tumor. So they continued with the target drugs and chemo.

On April 9th, 2009, they revisited the liver through CT scans. My oncologist was excited to find the cancer had not increased or reappeared in place where they had seen it. He did not go into a lot of detail. It was explained to me that it had not increased and it was stabilizing nicely. I was not sure what that meant and they didn’t seem to want to give out more information. They were excited and I was confused to why? I never asked.

In the first of May, I received my request for a follow up breast MRI and it was setup. What happened after the MRI I deep appreciate. Around dinnertime, I received a call from the radiologist. We talked for about thirty minutes. He asked me some very interesting questions. Below is the question he asked that meant the most to me.

“Did they prove you had cancer outside the breast or did they just assume you had it?”

It was nice to tell him. I had a breast, lymph node, and bone biopsy that was positive. He peppered me with questions to why I didn’t have the breast removed. Finally, after he exhausted all of his questions, he told me something that meant so much to me.

He said, “When you have cancer, it always leaves a scar, a smug, or something on the liver especially. On the liver, I do not see a smug or a shadow. Your liver looks like you never had cancer at all. I’ve never seen this before.” He also mentioned the right breast had the smug gone too.

He went on wondering what I did. The conversation left me in deep thought. I went back through everything. This is what I concluded, I came into this event of cancer healthy. I wasn’t taking any drugs. Instead, I used my mind to keep myself healthy. Outside of getting a monogram or a pad smear, I never needed to see a doctor.

We all program out minds with our words everyday. I learned how to program it on purpose. On the first day of drugs, I programmed my mind to study the drugs and create other chemicals that would work with those I was given. I wanted the chemicals to remove all signs that I ever had cancer.

I had forgotten about doing this. The radiologist reminded me that I did it, when he asked, “Did you receive radiation?” I told him no. Then he asked, “Have you been doing body building?”

My body tone was barely returning and I still felt weak. He went on to tell me that my left pectoral muscle was plumper than it was on the first MRI. In his summary, he wrote associated findings: “This is intense enhancement of patient’s left pectoral muscle. This is of uncertain significance and if diffused. This likely does not represent tumor involvement before of its diffuse nature.”

Two days before I went in for the MRI, my left ribs shift forward on its own. In my youth, I had twisted my ribs in a trampoline accident. Before the cancer, I programmed my mind to reverse the accident and move my body back to its original form. When my ribs shifted, it felt so wonderful. They had been frozen in the wrong position for forty-four years.

The radiologist reminded me that my mind was still working on moving my body back to its original position. It was there I remembered that I programed it to remove the sign of cancer and work with the doctor’s drugs.

Doctors have talked about for years how powerful our minds are. They can work against or for us. You choose it with you words. I’m so grateful that I learned how to capture the power of the mind and change lives.

In life, we stumble across a few things that change our live and we want to share them. You might know someone who is going through chemo and it might help them. With each infusion of chemo, I received shingles, rashes and hemorrhoids. On the fourth infusion, the hemorrhoids started to bleed. I had never experienced hemorrhoids before and I hope that I never do. 

When I was mother with small children, I used herbs all the time. It saved me a few trips to the doctors. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I remembered that there were herbs for hemorrhoids. So I dusted off my books and I started to read. 

Sure enough, I found more than one. Luckily, I had one of the herbs mentioned on my shelf. Since, I wasn’t suppose to be out in public. I was elated. I took two capsules twice a day. By the time, I reached the tenth day. I was surprised to realize how raw my bowls had been. Now, they felt normal.

This happened in time for me to receive my next infusion of taxotere. I continued with the herb Psyllum Husks during my chemo treatments. What happened shocked me. My rashes and shingles never returned.  Also, my hair and nails stopped falling out. Instead, they started to grow and kept on growing during my infusions.

I shaved my hair in the beginning. On my seventh infusion, I  shaved another inch of hair off so it would match my new hair growth. Before, I discovered Psyllium Husk, I lost hair on my sides and top. I also wanted to point out that hair on my legs started to grow too and I wasn’t pleased with it.  

It’s important to keep your immune system working well to help your body remove the cancer. In nine weeks, the cancer was gone from my breast and 70% from my liver. I will know in June 2009, if it is all gone from my liver. It might be a new drug that I’m testing for the FDA that is causing my wonderful recovery. It’s also common sense that we need to keep our immune system strong enough to help the doctors remove the cancer. 

For me, I had a hard time getting out to a store. So I made the oils and herbs available along with my books. Don’t feel like you need to buy my books. I do hope you’ll buy the herbs and oils. They worked wonderfully and I hope they do for you. You find the link here to more information.

Let me know, if you know of something that has worked. We can share it.

When I used birth control pills, I had a constant yeast infection for some reason. I solved the problem by using three products. Once I stopped using the birth control pill, I didn’t need to take the three products unless I was putting a new chemical.

With Taxotere having yeast infection as a symptom, I didn’t wait but started to take the three products and I never had a problem. This is what I took:

• The picture to the right is called Treelac. It is live microorganism that are good and what we need in intestines. The box consists of 64 packets. Your body needs microorganisms and they are easily destroyed. If they are, you will get yeast infections or thrush.
• I used active digestive enzyme. The bottle is designed to help people who may experience lactose intolerance, indigestion, IBS, diarrhea and other digestive problems/ concerns.
• The other product I used is a Oxygen Element. It detoxify, energize & oxygenate. A very unique Patented product

The three products have worked wonders and they were great during the Taxotere. You can purchase them here.

Lemons help decongestant a toxic liver. At the same time, it alleviates conditions that are often associated with an overworked liver, such as nausea, headaches, irritability and insomnia.

This is what I used:

• One table spoon of fresh squeezed lemon juice. (Most of the time, I didn’t have the strength to do it. So I used Minute Maid – frozen lemon juice.
• One drop of Lemon Oil.
• One drop of Peppermint Oil.
• I did it every night after I received the taxotere. On the last week before the infusion, I would do it every other night.

I would use the lemon and peppermint oil in a sits bath with epson salts. It seemed to help to do with every other month. You can order the oil here.

We have all been told that Herceptin might damage the left heart. I wanted to help strength it long with helping immune system.

• Lemongrass – was what I picked. I made up one capsule once a day. It consisted of eight drops and rest Message Oil.
• It suppose to improve muscle tone throughout the body.
• Nervous exhaustion as it energizes and yet soothes the body.
• Strengthen heart.
• You can order it here.

I went through the winter with taxotere and it was quite a season for the flu. I stayed well by being very careful and always washing me hand and not hugging. I also took internally some oils:

• Four drops of Myrrh
• One drop of Dill
• One drop of Tea Tree
• Then I filled the capsule up with Message Oil or grapeseed.

Dill – helps with digestion. It calms the nerve system. It inhibits the growth of several bacteria that attack the intestinal track. Prevents infections, diarrhea.

Tea Tree – reduces the proliferation of viruses and bacteria. Stops infection like colds and flu.

You can order what I used here for your connivence.

For the pain was off the chart at times. When I found my fingers and toes constantly hurting, I found oils made it tolerable and I didn’t appreciate it until I stopped take the oils. This is what I took:

• Myrrh is an very old oil and it was used as an medicine in ancient times. It’s good for bleeding gums and sores in your mouth.
• It stops nausea and vomiting.
• Myrrh is included in the FDA list as being safe.
• I took in internally in vegetable capsules.
• I also added FRANKINCENSE. It supports the immune system and helps to cope with stress. Chemo puts a lot of stress on you. It helps to fight infection in the body.
• I added Germanium to the mix as well. It helps to stop bleeding and it’s a antibacterial. It’s great for the skin like shingles, and it’s great for liver problems.
• PEPPERMINT – It’s another pain reliever and it anti-inflammatory for the intestinal and urinary tract. It’s known to help with heart burn and hemorrhoids.

You can put the oils on your hands or feet. I took them internally for the first time. With the taxotere being rough. It seemed to help me more. In the beginning, I made a capsule every four hours once I was awake. They consisted of:

• Three drops of Myrrh
• Two drops of Frankincense
• One drop of Peppermint
• One drop of Germanium
• Then I filled the capsule up with Message Oil or Grapeseed Oil.

You can order the oils from here.

I found away to lesson the bleeding, even if I needed to use Ibuprofen for pain. Cayenne helped to slow down the bleeding until it wasn’t a problem for me. It was great to finally have it stop being a problem and I used the cayenne below:

• I took one to two capsules every four hours with the oil I used for pain. It has other healing possibilities like:
• Rheumatism – I can’t believe the number of people I’ve ran into who uses it for this.
• Ulcers – I know this works every well with ulcers in the stomach and this was only of the reason why I wanted to use it.
• It improves circulation and it’s been known to add the heart.
• Some people take it for nausea.
• I’ve made it available to order here so it’s easy for you to find.

My fourth infusion was horrible. The rashes were extra  miserable with me getting shingles with it. My bowls ached and I experienced hemorrhoids for the first time in my life. My finger and toes felt like they had been smashed in a door. They gave me a shot for white blood count that increased my pain.

Years ago, I was into herbs. I used them all the time with my children to save on doctor costs. Over the years, I forgot about them since I never seemed to see a doctor because I was ill. With my problems, I decided to pull out my books and dust them off. When I looked up hemorrhoids, I had a lot of choices. One herb I had in the house and the code was still fresh. So I took two in the morning and two capsules at night. Ten days later, I found my bowls feel wonderful. I didn’t realize how bad I felt until I had something to compare them against.

After the ten days, I decided to keep taking one capsule in the morning and one at night to keep them from coming back. What happened surprised me. The herb removed more than the hemorrhoids. Even with my next three infusions of Taxotere, I had relief from:

• Hemorrhoids and my bowls feeling tender
• My hair stopped falling out. Instead, my hair on my head started to grow back.
• The dry skin sensation lessened
• The rashes and shingles never came back
• My nail started to grow with a healthy pink color. On my fifth infusion, my nails started to separate away from my fingers. The healthy pink grow keep on growing while I clipped the top. By the time, I received my seventh infusion of Taxotere. My nails had grown an health pink halfway up. My nails always had grown very past.

This wonderful herb was PSYLLIUM HUSKS. When I went to the store to buy another bottle, I was surprised at how many choices. I bought what I already had used. It worked! When I decided to share this experience with others, I decided to make it easy for you to find the one I used.

I couldn't find a bowl of cherries that I liked.

Cancer is a life-altering experience. It’s a wonderful time to reflect on your life. Most of us will ask the questions like: What have I done with my life? What would I do differently, if I could do it over again? Is there more I want to accomplish? With life being so fragile, we start to look at the future differently. What do I want to do with the time I have left?
The questions above, we will usually ask ourselves, plus the question, why me? I left it out because it is the most negative thought you can have. When we are in timeout, we really need to think about our successes. Timeout is an expression that I use whenever I find myself sick or hurt and I can’t do a lot physically. During these moments, we get the opportunity to reflect on our lives.
I’ve been in timeout for four months and I’m appreciative of it. Before cancer, I was helping others with erasing past issues that they couldn’t get rid of on their own. Now, I can’t reach out to them. I miss it deeply. In the past, people would come in and leave with a smile on their face. At that instant, they weren’t sure if I had helped. They just knew that they felt differently. So I never truly saw how it affected their daily lives. With me being unable to help others, they are telling me how helpful I had been. They’re waiting for me to get better because they have other areas that they want help with.
We all have an impact on each other that we usually do not realize. The movie It’s a Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart is a perfect example. We can positively and negatively impact others. It’s a choice that we all make. The question you need to ask yourself: Am I like Mr. Potter who wants to control and take what he can without giving back? Taking every opportunity to twist it to my benefit?
Or are we the kind of person that Jimmy Stewart is like? A person with a caring heart, being patient and long suffering for the benefit of others. If you’re a good parent, you’ll feel this way. What about others around you?  What do they need, and have you seen it or ignored them?
Being stopped from really being around people gave me a new perspective on how we impact each other and ourselves. I’m grateful for the opportunity to witness it. Helping people is an art that many of us lose in the day-to-day world. So what makes it an art? There are questions that we need to be asking ourselves. What is our motivation in helping someone? Do we do it without expecting anything back? Do we do it for the praise of others? The person who does it without expecting anything back is the person who will find the most pleasure from giving to others.
With the economy going down, there are a lot of opportunities to reach out. Even if you are a person in need, I suggest you find someone who needs more help than you do. It’s in the true giving that you will find your pain eased and what you need. It might not come in the same hour, but it will come. If you have the attitude of gratefulness, it will come back bigger than you imagined.
When we truly give to others, it eases our pain, bringing great joy to our hearts. If you’re emotionally hurting, it’s the best painkiller you can take. Today, I have for the first time people all around me reaching out to lift my burden. I feel their prayers and the joy in their eyes to see they are helping me. It’s a different experience to see it from the person who needs help.
This is a scripture from the Bible that I like. It says: “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.” Matt. 10:8. It’s the giving freely that brings the joy into our lives. It’s also important that we realize the areas that have been given to us. In other words, count how many things are good and right in your life and focus on them. What have you been given? So many times we forget and just focus on what we don’t have.
Sometimes, we feel like we have nothing to give. You need to fill your cup. This is one of the best ways to fill it: Visualize putting your arms around yourself. Sometimes, you need to hold yourself until you feel peace in your heart. Remember, you need to put your arms around yourself when you feel lonely, frustrated, or angry. It helps to melt away the negativity and bring you back to the positive emotions. When you are plugged into the positive, you will bring many wonderful experiences and opportunities into your life. You should never forget it.
