"I have managed to get into the world of reducing markers and tumour
sizes using only BP and Essiac. However, all along the way I was
(reluctantly) ready to use a targeted chemo to buy more time if I had
to. (All this agony is documented in earlier posts)
I have an alternative doctor, a friend since childhood, who gave me a
piece of advice I followed, but may not have mentioned much to the
group.
He was adamant that I tell NO-ONE about my cancer. I followed this
advice initially because I couldnt face telling everyone. I told my
wife of course, one other very old friend, and this group. That was
it. Not my grown up children, not my ancient mother. No-one. Reading
other people's posts I realise what a good piece of advice this was.
I do not have to cope with people's attitudes or beliefs in chemo or
whatever. I am just treated as normal."
Hi Everyone,
Although I think everyone has their own way of coping, for myself, I
concur with Peter's friend. I have used only the Budwig diet to cure
my breast cancer w/mets to the bone. I did not share information
about my illness with anyone but my immeditate family ( my husband
and 2 of my 4 children ( the adult ones), and one very close friend (
and that was not until the Budwig was in full swing and the pain was
gone, and lastly, people on this list . For me, I knew/know that the
emotional stress of "well-wishers", however sincere they might be,
would be more than I would be able to emotionally handle. As far as
the allopathic community, I've been that route, for other illness',
before and know full well that the stress of their pressure to
succumb to their means is definitely more than I wanted to deal with,
knowing in advance that stress is one of the contributor's to the
cancer in the first place. I don't share this to stand in judgement
of anyone who chooses a different path, I share it to be of support
to anyone who might like to keep their condition personal.
Kind Regards,
Janice
