Living As A Cancer Survivor: Confusion by Cancer

Welcome to my first blog entry of 2020. Thank you for reading, and please share with others who you believe can identify with some of the issues facing survivors.

What do I mean by my title? We already know cancer itself causes much confusion. How did I get this? What is wrong with my body? What can I do to avoid another relapse? These are all vital questions that survivors must ask themselves.

As we enter 2020, much of the cancer world still has it's head up its ass. There is no long-term advantage to radiation besides a burning on your insides. There is no long-term advantage to chemotherapy other than having toxins put in your body. 

Why are medical communities sprouting with more chemo centers and radiation clinics? I honestly thought by now there would have been a cure. Why isn't more being put into the health of our T-cells and how they can be used to kill cancer without any damage from other treatments? 

There are thousands of products out there that identity with cancer, but none of them should be confused with "treatment." Greed is everywhere. Predators are seeking people like you to "sell" you on the latest thing (diet, exercise, potion, powder, pills, shakes, etc...). Please don't fall for it.

I hope this helps in laying out some options. I understand how overwhelming a diagnosis can be. Education and empowerment help people make better choices.

Renowned Medical Practices & Hospitals  

Places such as Memorial Sloan-Kettering, Shriners Hospitals for Children,  UAB Hospital, St. Judes Children's Research Hospital, and Cancer Treatment Centers of America are all options to consider. Costs can vary depending on insurance, while others like Shriners and St. Judes have endowments that help cover the costs.

Natural Doctors

I understand that the medical community scoffs at this notion. However, it would be best if you researched what they are claiming. I know several homeopathic doctors that care about lies the medical community tries to spew and desires to educate people on how our bodies work.

Each person needs to decide for themself what to do. I believe in treating the patient and finding the underlying cause of what caused cancer instead of just treating the symptoms. I would never tell someone NOT to do treatment, but damaging the body more isn't always the best option.

Cancer University

Before I begin, I am on the board of Cancer U. None of us on the board benefit financially. I know each individual involved and the motivation behind the company. The sole purpose it exists is to educate & empower patients who feel lost and overwhelmed upon diagnosis.

I encourage each of you to check out the site (cancer university) and gain access to their library and thrivers forum. Right now, all of their services are free or should be. If there is a charge, email me, and I will help. The point of this is to help others while giving them hope and options, not make people more hopeless and broke.
