What I Wish I'd Known about Cancer

I was diagnosed with "Invasive Ductal Carcinoma" in the spring of 2023. This was primarily an estrogen based cancer (65%), with an unknown entity, (35%).  I was somewhere between stages 2-3 with a fairly sizeable lump in my breast. I enlisted pretty quickly for conventional cancer therapies and received 4 rounds of chemotherapy (my tumor melted away after 2 - which thankfully removed the need of a mastectomy) Then came 6 weeks of radiation therapy through the fall. I was then told I would need to take a pill for 5 years, a pill that would ravage my bones and greatly increase my chances for debilitating osteoporosis.  This option was a definite NO for me. At this point I felt insentivized to seek answers. Doubling down in my education about cancer, I learned what it is, how it evolves and what is causing the surges of cancer in our modern world. My oncologists were telling me that my cancer could return but had not offered me any suggestions on how to help myself, nor were they going to plot my cancer health, unless I felt pain, or illness or another lump. I was incensed to my core and felt a keen vulnerability as to my cancer future.  I can only describe my dawning of "hope in the journey" as guided by the Spirit of God. Gradually I found information in a vast world of support and knowledge.  From a single article I read, I was led to a site where I could choose from many podcast topics about cancer. One day I listened to one by Antonio Jimenez, founder of Hope for Cancer Institutes.  I ordered his book "Hope for Cancer. Seven Principles to Remove Fear and Empower your Healing Journey".  Through his book, I felt  immediate relief and assurance that there were, indeed, many things I could do to help myself  be strong and cancer free.

     In this space, I just want to give a brief synopsis of CAUSES, and INTERACTIVE TREATMENTS for cancer, many of these propholactic.  Not having a cancer diagnosis currently does not preclude any of us from having it develop. We can do MORE than wish and hope we will never "get" cancer. We can empower ourselves and take proactive action by implementing a few protective practices. 

CAUSES of CANCER

All types of Cancer are on the rise, and the population acquiring it is younger and younger. (Jimenez)
