I notice it has for ID but there are other issues as well, such as trying to find out who broke HIPPA privacy rules within 2 hours. Been a lot of very “weird matters” happening in my case that I doubt I will find any answers for. I doubt we would be able to swing any price given that we are stretched to the max on Social Insecurity now.

I just found out yesterday my cancer is the result of what is known as the cross over effect. My dad, uncle and grandfather all had prostate cancer and apparently the gene can pass from father to daughter to cause either breast or ovarine cancer like the BRAC gene. I was stunned because no one in my family had told me and they thought they had! Apparently they had a research project started about it at the Mayo clinic.My dad passed away 3 1/2 years after diagnosis and doctors said he had one of the most aggressive forms of cancer they had ever seen. It has shocked me because I was intially told that I would make a full and complete recovery, but that was before all the roadblocks and mountains started popping up almost daily!

I am so sorry but I would not let this stop me from trying to make myself more healthy.

I spend lots of time reading about these things. There are so many that claims that certain alternative therapies work but of course, I don't know as I haven't tried them nor do I know anyone who has.

Read up on alkalinity (PH) of your body. Supposedly the body must be alkaline to be healthy.

Johanna Budwig diet is worth researching as is resveratrol, selenium, Vit D, intravenous Vit C, astragalus, kombucha tea and I'll think of others.

I am NOT recommending any of these as I do not know. I just read about them but I know that the treatments traditional medicine provide most often produce very serious side effects and the results are not necessarily that much better.

Oh, another one is to research Dr. Stanislaus, Burzynski in TX. You probably couldn't afford that one but who knows your outcome could be just as good by treating your immune system to become healthier.

My grandson had testicular cancer. He had the testicle removed and opted for no further treatment at this time.

FWIW, my grandmother died of breast cancer and she never treated it. She lived seven years after she told anyone about the lump so she had it for years before she died.
