The Truth About Cancer<br />
no matter what your age is. I decided that all <strong>the</strong> approaches we had<br />
taken before obviously weren’t working. Something had to change.<br />
Something had to be different this time. I didn’t want to insult my<br />
oncologist at <strong>the</strong> time but I did tell her I’m going to get multiple opinions.<br />
And she encouraged me to do so. So I seeked out five o<strong>the</strong>r specialists,<br />
five o<strong>the</strong>r oncologists, many in <strong>the</strong> local area. Some even at <strong>the</strong> Mayo<br />
Clinic. Every single oncologist agreed that this was terminal <strong>cancer</strong>.<br />
They all agreed that I would never be <strong>cancer</strong> free and that I had less<br />
than a year to live. No one ever wants to hear that you have a timeline<br />
put on your life especially not at 31-years-old.<br />
So at this time my family and I began searching frantically. We decided<br />
we were going to search for any information we could find that anyone<br />
has tried, any usual treatments, anything that is out of <strong>the</strong> norm, even<br />
holistic, we looked everywhere to decide what I wanted to do. At this<br />
time my only options were to begin a new round of a much more<br />
invasive chemo that was much more difficult to take than my first two<br />
rounds of chemo. I also no longer had a port-o-cath at this time. It had<br />
been removed due to <strong>the</strong> blood clots. So <strong>the</strong> chemo had to go straight<br />
into my veins. I really wanted to consider is this how I wanted to go. Is<br />
this is how I wanted to try to fight a battle this time. I decided to put off<br />
<strong>the</strong> chemo as we did more research on our own. I figured I was losing<br />
some time but I myself didn’t feel like time was my biggest enemy at <strong>the</strong><br />
moment. I felt like we had been going <strong>about</strong> my treatment <strong>the</strong> entirely<br />
wrong way. So as my family and I were doing research we came across<br />
many ads for <strong>cancer</strong> cures, we came across much information that<br />
worked for some people. The same thing didn’t work for o<strong>the</strong>r people.<br />
We really didn’t know which way to turn. We didn’t know what to take.<br />
We didn’t know what to believe.<br />
One thing we did all do is read <strong>the</strong> book, Cancer Free by Bill<br />
Henderson, which describes <strong>the</strong> battle that he went through with his wife<br />
doing here <strong>cancer</strong> treatments. And it also is a very informal book of how<br />
to find supplements, how to find o<strong>the</strong>r ways of treating your <strong>cancer</strong> even<br />
in conjunction with treatment, with chemo<strong>the</strong>rapy. It gives an entire<br />
listing of supplements that people have tried and found effective in <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
<strong>cancer</strong> treatments. I knew at this time that <strong>the</strong>re was no way I could<br />
afford all of <strong>the</strong>se supplements. I had a limited amount of time. I didn’t<br />
have <strong>the</strong> ability to try all of <strong>the</strong>se supplements in combination with my<br />
chemo<strong>the</strong>rapy. Some of <strong>the</strong>m would interfere with chemo treatments,<br />
some wouldn’t. But before I started chemo I decided to focus on one<br />
supplement in <strong>the</strong> book and order it to begin that supplement before I<br />
even began chemo treatments. That supplement was called Beta-1-3D<br />
Glucan. You take it very easily. For me in my case I take two pills every<br />
morning when I wake up and I wait a half an hour before I eat breakfast<br />
or any food. If you happen to wake up in <strong>the</strong> middle of <strong>the</strong> night you can<br />
