| It’s important to know
that this site was developed from my heart and not intended to bash
“Brand X” products or to promote any product that is not supported
by Published Clinical Studies.
My goal in developing this site is
to give you information to make an “Informed Decision” regarding
your health and wellness. I feel very strongly that we all should
have a “Choice” when it comes to health and wellness….It’s my goal;
to give you information to hopefully make the right choice?
Many people have asked that I write
a testimony regarding my cancer, especially the people I have been
so fortunate to meet (via email) who are also cancer
survivors.
I don't really put much stock into
testimonials unless I hear what is in the person's heart that writes
them.
That's why I decided to call this,
"My Cancer Experience" not a testimonial. If I accomplish sharing
with you what is in my heart through the words I have written...I
will have reached my goal and this will have touched someone in
need.....That is what it's all about...helping others, in turn your
reward is priceless. I pray very much that I succeed in doing just
that.
Before you read my story below,
it's important that you know, my main goal in sharing it is to
hopefully help someone in need to understand that although they may
not of had a choice as to whether or not cancer came to be in their
life.... EVERYONE has the choice as to how he or she handles it.
That choice can very well have a huge impact on the final outcome.
Often times I really believe too
many of us get all wrapped up in ourselves and have no time for
others.... or in some cases they do but it comes with a price tag.
It's important that you know, my help comes from my heart, it has no
price tag for I believe I have already been paid by a higher source,
God has given me the opportunity to be here another day to help
others.
By no means is it easy.... the
truth is, just hearing "You have cancer." can send you to your
knees. If you are like me, you will have to try to change the "Bad
Habits" you have acquired over the years.... It’s hard to do and I
have a long way to go.
Although it's been almost 7 years
ago that I had a serious heart condition which had it not of been
for a person that cared enough to help me, (which to this day I have
no idea who that person was) chances are I would not be sitting here
today writing this message. Until now, I thought that was the most
devastating thing that I had ever experienced.... boy was that a
mistake.... having cancer by far supercedes the fear I had with my
heart. Unless you have cancer, I don't believe anyone could explain
the impact it has on you.
If you feel that I succeeded in
putting the feelings I have in my heart.... into the words I have
written below, and you feel it can help someone in need.... feel
free to share it in it's entirety. I do not have all the answers nor
do I have all the knowledge.... What I do have is the willingness to
do my best to help others that choose to help themselves....

"My Personal Cancer
Experience"
I am sharing my experience with
cancer in hopes that it will help others in need to do everything in
their power to beat this terrible disease. I decided to speak
entirely from my heart and not try to make this one of those magical
testimonials that many people wouldn't believe anyway. Because of
that, there is a chance that it will be too long for some to read
and that saddens me more than you may know....
When I was diagnosed with Bladder
Cancer, I remember sitting up after the examine and hearing the
doctor say, "I'm sorry it's cancer." My reaction was indescribable
and I felt so lost. First I told him that I didn't want anyone to
know and I just wanted to leave without even telling my wife who was
waiting in the waiting room. I wanted everything to just go away, I
was so scared. After facing reality and getting a grip on myself I
knew that was wrong and had to tell the people I love that I had
cancer. All I can tell you is that it broke my heart to have to do
that; I could never describe how hard that was to
do.
I made a huge mistake by ignoring
the symptoms for many months, thinking they would just somehow
vanish and I would be OK. First I would see blood in my urine from
time to time, then it would clear up, but it always returned.
Finally, the blood turned into small clots and again they would come
and go but I also started to feel very tired and worn out. There
where many days that I had to give it all I had just to get through
the day. Then one day the small clots turned into very large ones
and it was very painful to pass them, I knew it was bad and I also
knew just how big of a mistake I had made by ignoring this for so
long. Being too scared to face my symptoms had developed into a
major issue and now I had to face it.
The first surgery seemed to be
successful and they got the tumor. We were very happy and thankful.
Unfortunately after a week of waiting for the results of the
biopsies we were faced with the fact that the cancer had spread into
the muscle and was very much alive. Once again we found ourselves
facing the unknown. One thing I knew for sure was that your mind is
very powerful and in situations like this, being positive is more
important then you may realize. We made it a priority to laugh and
joke to stay as positive as we could, please know that is so
important.
An example of this is, my biggest
fear was that the cancer would be too far into my bladder that they
would have to take the entire bladder and leave me with a bag on my
side...I cannot tell you how frightened that made me...My fear was
so intense that I told the doctor if that's what had to be done when
he opened me up to just close me back up...I would rather die than
to deal with the alternative. Many close friends tried very hard to
convince me that I was making a bad decision and to change my
mind.... I shut them out and wouldn't reconsider.
It was then that a friend who's
wife I had went through school with had recently lost her battle
with the same cancer I had, he cared enough to come and talk with
me, I will never forget that day. For some unknown reason I finally
opened my mind and let his words sink in. The truth is, I was
thinking only of myself and not the ones that loved and needed me,
no matter what it took, I had to do whatever I could to be here for
them. That night I prayed that God would help me accept the
possibility that I may have to have my whole bladder removed and to
help me face that out come which I feared so much. The next morning
I called the doctor and told him to do whatever he had to do in
order to save my life. I also knew I had to work on my mind and stay
positive so this is what I did...
One night while Sherri and I were
lying in bed talking, I said, "You know Sher, if they have to take
my whole bladder just think how neat that will be." She seemed
confused and asked, what I meant. I replied, "For 20 years you have
been on me to put the toilet seat down after using it and I have
never listened, if they take my whole bladder.... I wouldn't need
the toilet and you will never have to tell me to put the seat down
again!" We laughed for many days over that one! Positive attitude is
really amazing!!
There were many emotions to deal
with and often times no matter how hard I fought to be positive I
would breakdown and would go out in the garage to cry because I
didn't want my kids or Sherri to see me. So even though you try to
stay positive, you sometimes fall but it's so important to get back
up and fight.
The doctor told me that this
surgery would be more intense and also had many unknowns as well.
Until he actually opened me up, he could not be sure that the cancer
had not already passed through the muscle and into the rest of my
body. There would also be another waiting period after the surgery
to see if the biopsies he would take would also come back, cancer
free? Bottom line is that we still had a long road to
travel.
Prior to that surgery, I was told
that I had to quit taking all the supplements I was on because it
could possibly cause complications with the procedure if I didn't.
Very reluctantly I agreed. It was just a few days after stopping my
supplement regime that I came down with the worst cold that I can
ever remember having, it had been years since I ever had any
sickness that lasted for more than a day or two. This resulted in
the cancellation of the surgery for 2 weeks. Again we were right
back with the waiting game again. More stress and more worry, it was
horrible AND WE WERE AN EMOTIONAL WRECK.
I then made a decision to start
back full force with my supplements and beat the cold I had gotten,
I did and the surgery took place as scheduled. I am so happy to say
it was a very successful surgery and I am cancer free at this point
in time.
Maybe even more amazing...the
original size of the tumor that had spread into the muscle actually
turned out to be in the doctors words, "A Very small amount!”, and
there was no cancer any where to be found in other areas of my
body!
What I want to say now is from
my heart and is so important to me... I hope you will read it over
closely......
Over the years we have seen many
wonderful things happen to people using the products I use. To be
very honest, some things I would of seriously doubted if I had not
personally witnessed them. However, this story is not intended to
imply that the supplements alone deserves the credit for my
wonderful success with cancer.....But I do feel very strongly that
because I ignored the symptoms for so long which gave the cancer
more time to grow and spread, the supplements I used did have a huge
impact on keeping it contained and less evasive. No one will ever
convince me that it didn't.
To me....all of the prayers and
support from so many people, some I know and many others I have
never met, a positive attitude and belief that God will never give
you anything you cannot handle.... All these things together can
have an impact in a situation like mine that is just simply
amazing.....I know I still have a long road to travel and there are
chances that the cancer will show itself again but with God,
positive attitude, my supplements, and the people I love...I will be
ready to face it and beat it once again!
I really pray that this message
will help someone in need and give them hope. Cancer is a
devastating word to hear.... but it doesn't mean it can't be beat
with the right tools.
In life, you can never do a
kindness too soon because you never know how soon it will be too
late.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
