I had cancer 3 times coming close to leaving this physical world each time. It was a very aggressive type I was told I would die within 2 weeks without treatment. I was good for 3-4 months without conventional treatment just using alternative methods until some personal stress resulted in a my own healing abilities failing. I did end up undergo conventional chemo treatments and combined it with supplements. I was in hospital for many months undergoing aggressive treatment each time which spanned over 1.5 years. The treatment made me weak but I was hardly ever sick. That is unusual with the heavy dose I was given. That was 9 years ago. Today my life is very different. What it showed me was there were underlying issue that needed addressing. It was my awakening. I made over the years many changes to my life after my diagnosis. I am in the process of writing a mini book on my experience which I plan to make freely available on the internet.
