    Anyone suffering from breast cancer must know that there are many other things they can do to beat the battle of breast cancer. I have had bone cancer and I must tell you natural treatments work more effectively than chemotherapy. The doctors told me they couldn't do anymore for me, so I followed the advice of Phillip Day and I am still here today. There is hope for everyone please just read what I have to say!

    I have beaten cancer without so much as a doctors help, and so have eight other I know of whom are willing to prove it. That's right the cure is through natural supplements. Has anyone heard of Phillip Day? I wouldn't have expected you to. The battle in defeating cancer is over, it has been won, already. There are many natural treatments available which can allow one to beat the disease. In fact I am one of them, I beat it when the doctors could do no more. There have been tens of thousands many of which were told hey could do no more they were terminal and through these natural good health ways they are still alive. Phillip Day and his books show that many scientists and researchers have found natural ways to beat cancer itself. The books are a collection of many studies conducted my world renown scientists and doctors. For further information I found this site yesterday- not as well versed as it could be but  good site http://www.cancerfightingstrategies.com/ Further information is on Linus Pauling the multiple Nobel prize winner for science said in 1994 " All people should know that cancer in our society today is basically a fraud." It is known that the reason for cancer is the pollutants and chemicals in our environments foods, shampoos, etc. There are natural ways to cleanse the body of these. Things such as vitamin B17 found to be absent on all cancer sufferers is to be taken- it is found in apricot kernels. What is interesting is that the selling of apricot kernels has been made illegal by the government in the USA. Why may you ask- that's the very question we are all asking, why would they ban apricot kernels- the only true source of B17 vitamins? This one factor amoung others shows that one can rid of cancer, like me who is living three years after I shouldn't be am here to show it is proof it works. I was shown this when my cousin's friend had turned to natural supplements against the doctors wishes and is alive and well today. Phillip Day's books must be bought, you can find them on websites. The real reason why we have chemotherapy is that it is such a successful market for business a multi billion dollar industry in western countries like here in Australia.  Doctors go to school and are taught about the drugs that are available, not natural treatments. I promise with all my heart this is true, I know that you all have a chance- Please find out more about these things it has saved me and can change anyone's lives.

    Faithfully Michelle- free of cancer.

    P.S Just try it its natural - it wont hurt.

    To anyone newly diagnosed or currently going through treatment, just my suggestion but I think it's probably best to ignore the above post from MikeyBB (and his 25 other identical posts from this evening).  There are no miracle cancer cures.

    Way to stay positive!! The journey is tough, but we have to keep encouraged.  Just remember if you throw a pity party - no one will come. But when you throw a survivor party and celebrate life, it will be the most joyous occassion.

    I've found in sharing my story, and staying positive, I have encouraged everyone around me.  I sent and email out to several associates, and I got back so many prayers and words of encouragement. I keep every email and I read those from time to time to stay encouraged.  I also look at the fact that regardless of this situation, it can still be worse!!

    One of my favorite sayings - happiness is a journey, not a destination! 

    Stay positive, your are still blessed. I wish you success through this journey!

    Hi Smileyvirgo74:  You are so right about happiness being a choice I was very good at that especially at work. I always had the ability to drop my personal issues and work without thinking about them or using them as some co-workers did to get away with being bitchy or mean or the very worst for me Lazy.  But with this cancer there are some days I try but just can't be positive that's when I usually post on this site on the "I'm bitchy, I moan and groan anyway"  it is a great thread, and after reading the other womens stories we often find so much humour in our misery, I at least end up leaving the thread chuckling.  My sister was just here to come to my gaster appt with me because I'm having such a hard time with it, so she reminded me of the time I had a meltdown and she called at the wrong time and drove an hour and half to be with me.  I felt so bad and so bitchy because nothing could get me out of that mood and her coming all that way made me even feel worse, because I also felt guilty that her coming to my place didn't make any difference.  We laughed about it yesterday but man back then during the chemo and steriods my head was different I could not force, meditate or think myself into a better mood. I just had to go through it and come out of it myself.  Thats the worst thing about the steroids and chemo that will just happen to some of us.  And now waiting and wondering for tests and scans is irritating but I can get out of a bad mood much easier now if one hits.(Thank the Lord).  I hope that I and others on this board have success and beat this cancer to the ground. But I don't want anyone to think that not being positive caused it, I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.  But thank you so much for your post it meant alot and I thought alot about it.  But now I'm going to the Bitch thread, get things off of my brain and hope to find a few chuckles.  Have a good day.  And you are blessed as well.

    In 2001 I was diagnosed with breast cancer...had a lumpectomy...had standard chemo...was released to have radiation (as we were moving to Indiana and as all you veterans know, all radiation must be done on same machine at same locale)...well as it turned out, I couldn't have radiation, because my cancer had metastisized to lungs, liver and bones...Stage IV...supposedly incurable, right?   I underwent more i.v. chemo...then oral chemo meds...3 mos. on oral meds. my oncologist ordered a PET scan and a bone scan...guess what...NO CANCER FOUND ANYWHERE...so I continue to take the oral meds. and then had a re-occurrance to

     original site almost 1 year to the date I started the oral medication..stopped the oral meds...underwent a mastectomy in Oct. 2002, and have been cancer free since...what ever you (you all in general) have endured, know there is at least 1 lucky 58 year old in the Midwest who knows how precious life can be.

    Mother one of the best things that you can do for your daughter is to just be there for her, its hard to explain but when I went through my surgery and treatment it was just so nice to just have someone there with me -both my mom and sister(s) were there for me and its not so much that we really talked about anything-just having someone there made me feel somewhat better. I hope that this makes sense!!!!

    Hi, My name is horserider and I'm a  2 time survivor. I'm 75 , work full time and went thru everything everyone else has. Lost my hair overnight and went to scarves since I didn't want to put up with the heat and wigs in the summer. The Beauty Shop under my office furnished and showed me how to put on fake eye lashes. One of my daughter's thought I looked very bohemian in my scarves.I'm from Oregon and Sept of 2007 I got to go to a Guest Ranch free as a guest of a wonderful non profit organization called Casting For Recovery and learned how to Fly Fish.Now I'm the Alumni Coordinator for the Southern Oregon Chapter. They have been doing this for 5 yrs now, It was the experience of a life time. You get to spend 3 days with 14 other Breast Cancer Survivors and share their experiences.

    I cherish every day and try to live it to the fullest.

    Dear Horserider, thanks your post helps and gives hope because there are times when you think that's it, it's won.  So to read that your a two time survivor and a healthy 75 gives me some hope that I so desparately need right now.  The fly fishing sounds so wonderful, I'm hoping to get some fishing in up north soon and eat some real fresh pickerel.  And try and get the one that got away just of the point by MNR, I fought that fish for a good 20 mins, it had my pole bent in half and just as I was getting it to the boat...I lost it.  I would have let it go anyway but have to give it another try.  Fresh air and old friends I can't wait and hope it perks me up for a long time.  Your post did.

    Hello, this is my 1st post however, I think you ladies are awesome.

    I was diagnosed in Nov 2007 right after Thanksgiving & I had surgery(Lumpectomy) 12/20/2007 & again 01/03/2008 to get clean edges. Throughout all of this my husband was in prison & he was my biggest Cheerleader,  & I thank him for that. He let me know that bald was beautiful & that he would love me no matter what. He is home now & he has kept his promise.

    My hair started coming out on clumps exactly 2 weeks after my 1st chemo treatment. By the third one I had a big bald spot. My daughter went on and shaved the rest off for me.

    Good afternoon All,

    I'm blue today and felt the need to finally look for outside support.  Usually, I'm good.  I know I need to remain positive to beat this thing, but I was weepy today, and decided I needed a shoulder.  And I know there a plenty, willing shoulders here.  Thank God for that.  I was diagnosed with breast cancer in December 07.  I've since had the pleasure of a biopsy, lumpectomy and radiation.  Trying to make light of a serious situation.  I'm er positve node negative.  I didn't have to do chemo.  I consider myself blessed, as I know this ride has been alot more strenuous for some, and I feel like I really shouldn't have anything to complain about.  Today, though, I knew I had to look for someone who has "been there".  I mean, my family and friends have been very supportive and loving, but there is nothing like the support of a fellow breast cancer patient.  I knew that one day I would need to reach out.  So...here I am...reaching out.  I plan to come back to this site often.  Will probably find solace here daily.  I'm afraid sometimes, and brave more often.  Even when we are brave, we need to know that it is okay to be afraid, too.  I wish for all of us continued better health, good health, great health, recovery, rejuvination, rejoicing and all of the blessing that God and life has to give.  Love and peace...

    Linda

    Hey Linda,

    I also had lumpectomies and radiation -- no chemo.  Are you taking tamoxifen?  It's important to know that things could be worse, but remember, too, things could be better.  We would, all of us, regardless of the earliness of our stage, feel better if we had never received our diagnoses.  So the "could be worse" repetition is true and valuable, but it doesn't cover everything!

    I finished rads in early March and did not have too bad a time with it.  I am fortunate to have good friends, and I discuss bc with some of them, and not with others.  This is OK with me, as I don't actually want to discuss it too frequently -- there's a lot happening in the world around us.  But I come back here a lot to feel part of the bc.org community.

    Best to you,

    Darah

    hello allthanks for all the stories of encouragement to each other. i havent been to a site since i was diagnosed...i was pretty much in denial.  now after having had a lumpectomy,and resection to make sure i had clean lines,that followed by radiation that burned me to a crisp ,i'm accepting of the fact that i have had a bout with bc.  i will return to this site on a regular basic for the words that i have read here were very comforting.
