Good morning all, today starts my journey on a juice-fast however long that will be. My goal is to go for two-months and rid my body once and for all of this dreaded disease called cancer. I have had petscans clean and not so clean and my most recent one showed a new spot on one of my lymph nodes and warm spots on my back, three to be exact. My juice fast includes, not only juicing, but making smoothies, taking supplements, enzymes, praying and doing coffee/water enemas. Please join me on my journey to a healthier me and hopefully be inspirational to those looking for better energy, better health and a better quality of life. God bless you all!

The Good News

It was almost three years ago today, my mom told me that it would be a tough three years, but that it would get easier after that. Shortly after, she passed, but not until we were able to fly up to Alaska from Virginia to see her. She was waiting to hear her daughter and granddaughter one more time. I read Psalm 23 and Isaiah 40 to her, hoping she would hear what I was saying, and to give her peace and hope before her ascent into heaven. I just had a petscan on the 14th and the results came in on the 15th. My petscan came back showing no cancer. This is my second consecutive clean scan. After my first scan, i was put on tamoxifen and could only stand it in my system for 10 days. So it was basically up to me and God to keep a clean and healthy cancer-free body until my recent scan. Over a period of three months, it has been a trying, scary, stressful time. God is in control, Jesus was watching and waiting to give me the good news.

While we were at CTCA, there was the annual Celebrate Life celebration going on in a big tent in the parking lot. We were not able to take part in this celebration, because of my emotional state throughout the day, and because of the timing of my appointments - and having to wait forever to get my b-12 shot ordered. Thanks to the staff who helped calm me down in my time of frustration over this new drug - Faslodex, my petscan report, and just in general missing my mom and wishing she was here with me to share the news. Even though I know she has been petitioning for me in heaven.

Thank you to everyone who has been praying for me and thinking of my situation. After meeting yesterday with the doctor, we succumbed to having faslodex as an alternative to tamoxifen. I guess what I was doing on my own accord, didn't equate to being healthy enough for the doctor, and drugs are always the first option for them. So I am trying it, and boy are my cheeks sore! It has to be given in the center of muscle, and what better place than your bottom! So please pray for me in my journey ahead with this medicine that is new to my body, always a challenge and hoping to be off of it soon.

It is a hormonal drug and I felt its effects right away, I was an emotional mess yesterday. I was crying for most of the day, and feeling the joint pain and nausea that comes with the drug as well. In my journey to be cancer-free, I feel like the biggest contributors have been Jesus, Adya Clarity (Black Mica), Kefir, Kombucha, Juicing whole veggies daily, coffee enemas, and detoxing. If you would like more information on any of the above, I would be happy to share it with you.

After our trip, we had to drive to the middle of PA to pick up Mariah and we decided to go for a walk uphill while waiting for my husband's parents. What a beautiful creation God has made.

Psalm 103 Of David.

1Praise the LORD, O my soul;

all my inmost being, praise his holy name.

2Praise the LORD, O my soul,

and forget not all his benefits—

3who forgives all your sins

and heals all your diseases,

4who redeems your life from the pit

and crowns you with love and compassion,

5who satisfies your desires with good things

so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

6The LORD works righteousness

and justice for all the oppressed.

7He made known his ways to Moses,

his deeds to the people of Israel:

8The LORD is compassionate and gracious,

slow to anger, abounding in love.

9He will not always accuse,

nor will he harbor his anger forever;

10he does not treat us as our sins deserve

or repay us according to our iniquities.

11For as high as the heavens are above the earth,

so great is his love for those who fear him;

12as far as the east is from the west,

so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

13As a father has compassion on his children,

so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;

14for he knows how we are formed,

he remembers that we are dust.

15As for man, his days are like grass,

he flourishes like a flower of the field;

16the wind blows over it and it is gone,

and its place remembers it no more.

17But from everlasting to everlasting

the LORD’s love is with those who fear him,

and his righteousness with their children’s children—

18with those who keep his covenant

and remember to obey his precepts.

19The LORD has established his throne in heaven,

and his kingdom rules over all.

20Praise the LORD, you his angels,

you mighty ones who do his bidding,

who obey his word.

21Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts,

you his servants who do his will.

22Praise the LORD, all his works

everywhere in his dominion.

Praise the LORD, O my soul.

It has been awhile since my last post, I was recently given a clean petscan with softspots on my spine to watch out for and a monthly shot to help combat it. Amen, praise God, i hope it doesn't come back again. Next petscan in April, the time my mother said my 3 years of hardship would be nearing its end.

I don't like writing in a journal, I suppose that is why blogging has become so popular, I write in hopes of helping or blessing someone else with the information I have in my head. Today I am venturing out and facing my fears. Living in a comfort zone and bubble provides security and safety. I am filled with anxiety when I think about leaving my home alone, and today I purpose to do just that..to walk somewhere in the great outdoors, outside my comfort bubble of a few hundred yards. I have a book and video due at the library, just have to be mindful of the time so I am not late picking my daughter up from the school bus. And so off I go, after lunch. I suppose fear and procrastination are a bad match, but often go hand in hand. With the Lord to comfort and guide me, whom do I have to fear? The Lord has brought me through this far, and it is the Lord who will be my protector. Amen.

Well after three attempts to leave, I finally did it. It was sprinkling and windy at the time which would discourage any agorophobe, but I did it! I went, i saw, i conquered my fear. Walked to the library which is about .7 miles one way, (which i found out from my pedometer iphone app) stayed and worked on my homework for school. I would have stayed a lil longer, but a homeless guy (or what I perceived to be) sat down rather close to me and my nose couldn't take it any longer. I am not as upset as he was that he was perceived homeless, but I don't give money to people who have mismanaged it so poorly they end up in a place like the library for a home. I didn't have any food on me sadly for the both of us, my tummy was rumbling. On the way home I passed by Robeks but there was a line so I kept on truckin'. What a day to decide to go out, the wind was blowing so hard it was pushing me around on the sidewalk! Thank goodness I didn't get rained on, although I was prepared in the event that it happened. And I found out there is a chess table at the park across the street from me. Now I can pretend to have friends and play chess like Bobby Fisher. hehe :)
