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 />
