I was horrified when I learned I had cancer and even more horrified when I was told I only had 6 months or a year to live if I did not do chemotherapy and/or radiation. CANCER GAVE ME HEALTH - and this is my story how I defeated cancer without chemotherapy or radiation. In 2011 I was told I was going to die if I didn't do the "standard" recommendations to deal with my diagnosis. I had no idea that there were several types of breast cancer. I thought breast cancer was just breast cancer, period. I was told there is no guarantee of a cancer cure. Not even the "standard" conventional cancer treatments state there is a cure. I was told if I did not do chemotherapy and/or radiation, statistically I would not live past twelve months and there was no guarantee I wouldn't get cancer again. Instead I chose to educate myself and apply what I learned to be a chemotherapy and radiation-free cancer survivor. I do not profess to be a doctor or a scientist. I have explained in my way, what I have learned and understand and believe to be true about chemotherapy and radiation and why I did not do it.
