Episode 7: How to Survive and Thrive
needed me to do it fast. Well, I got a staph infection from the surgery
and this bought me time. And this is when I started researching.
Ty: Talk about the big three treatments, the radiation, chemo, and
therapy. I appreciate you being honest with your feelings about
breast cancer awareness month. I know that’s a sensitive topic.
But talk about the big three treatments, the chemo, radiation, and
surgery. What is your take on those treatments
Shannon Knight: Well, all three of those treatments—I know that
radiation causes cancer. That never made sense to me. Surgery during
a time when you’ve got cancer—you need your immune system. The
first thing that your body is going to do is all the—all your antibodies,
everything that your body needs to fight the cancer is going to go to the
surgical site. So its going to weaken your immune system more for a
good period of time longer than six weeks. Its got to repair and restore.
So a mastectomy is not a simple treatment. It’s a major surgery. And
you’re at risk for infection. So that’s not healing the body. When you’re
sick with cancer the body wants to be healed plain and simple. We need
to start looking. How do we heal our body Okay.
So chemotherapy is—the three that they were talking to me about—
you’re going to lose your hair, you’re going to get sick—I don’t
understand how something that’s going to make me sick is going to
ultimately keep me healthy. If it’s going to kill my cancer cells its
damaging my other cells. How am I going to come out on top of all of
this That’s my big giant question mark. And why is everybody doing it
I don’t understand it. So I did go through with the mastectomy. I had my
family saying just do it, just do it, and that part I regret and I’ve got my
own reason why. I don't know if its something that’s been scientifically
research. Its just my own common sense, Shannon Knight common
sense. But I got cancer again. I never got that vitamin D checked out
and I never got to address it. And when you’ve got that vitamin D
deficiency you’re still at risk. So I feel if I had left that mastectomy out
and hadn’t done it the cancer would have had a harder time getting to
my ribs and getting to my lungs. And I could have just had a better
chance. Plus the scar tissue, they’re finding research that says scar
tissue can cause cancer. You know, I read that in January of 2014. So I
just—if I had to do it all over again I wouldn’t have done that surgery.
Ty: Now you talked about getting to your ribs and your lungs. So
are you saying that eventually the cancer spread to other organs
Shannon Knight: Yeah.
Ty: Talk about that.
