Episode 7: How to Survive and Thrive
Ty: So it’s not an encouraging prognosis at that point.
Shannon Knight: No, it was terrifying. And he wanted me to start
treatment. He was encouraging me to be sensible this time around, be
sensible.
Ty: And what exactly does that mean What did that mean
according to him What was being sensible
Shannon Knight: Being sensible—the first time when we met he said
that getting vitamin C and doing these other things was like, going to his
words exactly, the sunshine farm and laughed. He laughed. And that’s
okay. I understand that they’re not learning about this in medical school.
So it probably is pretty funny to them. But I told him I didn’t even want
the Tamoxifen and I’m still not on it, so. And I’ve been in remission two
and a half years. So I allowed radiation on one area because he did say
that this was so aggressive it was going to paralyze me. So let’s try to
shrink this because that’s not a good thing to happen either. Let’s try to
shrink this. I made it through 22 rounds and I couldn’t complete it. I
ended up with staph infection, pneumonia, and another thing I would like
to address is they call it cyber knife. And they say its only going to go to
one area. I ended up with a burn all the way—like the size of a football
across my chest and my back with blisters.
Ty: From cyber knife.
Shannon Knight: Uh-huh
Ty: I’ve heard of that before but I have not heard of that side effect
from it.
Shannon Knight: It’s horrible. So it burns and I have scars on my
lungs from it. And they say that your lungs are protected. They make
this lead plate that goes in above—you’re laying down and it goes in
above you and so they can direct the beams. And you can see the
beams. Its supposed to hit different areas. And it looks like it would only
hit those areas but everybody’s running from the radiation room so
there’s got to be a reason. So it got worse. My cancer got worse and
after we quit the radiation it was really sad. That’s when he said unless I
do one of the treatments he’s recommending there’s nothing else he
can do. And it’s spreading, so I went to the beach that day and I just—
that’s when angels for Shannon came into my mind. I wanted to live. I
wanted other patients. I wanted to do the healthier treatments and I
wanted other patients to have that opportunity. I prayed to God to let me
live and let me beat this the natural way.
