As radiation is killing cancer cells, it is injuring good cells which may mutate later. Radiation weakens blood vessels which can lead to a hemorrhage later. Radiation to the brain has many other negative effects. And losing my hair was the least of my worries.
I'm glad I resisted conventional oncology after my surgery.
I am glad I trusted God and prayed to Jesus for healing. I'm glad I boldly tried and became dedicated to a nutritional approach to getting well - even though I wasn't sure about it at the time.
I went to college, and I have a masters degree in science. I am trained as a scientist. I wasn't comfortable with the scientific explanation or studies behind many of the nutritional therapies (including some of therapies I used). But I was less comfortable with radiation and chemotherapy.
Doctors and others tried to persuade me to take radiation and chemo. I heard: "Listen to the experts . . . Stick with conventional medicine . . . Don't be duped by snake oil salesmen."
My prognosis was terminal with or without radiation and chemo. The oncologists said they could prolong my life. How long? maybe 5 years - they were fuzzy and non-commital.
Now I'm healed. Some would say the cancer is in remission.
This is not to say conventional medicine has not helped anybody with cancer. I know that it has, but I don't know what the true success rate statistics are.
This is my story. I may not be able to get the attention of the medical establishment, but the people I most want to reach are those who find themselves in the same predicament I was in. Of course I can not guarantee how it went for me is how it will go for someone else. All I know is when somebody has been as fortunate as I have, I feel an obligation to tell what happened to me and how it happened so that others may benefit.
I survived cancer because God had mercy on me and healed me.
Its not because I'm strong-willed and willed myself well.
Its not because I'm strong, because I'm not.
Its not because I'm tough, because I'm not.
I humbly and desparately prayed to God for help and healing in Jesus name.
Hundreds of brothers and sisters in Christ across North America also prayed for me.
My church also prayed for me as described in chapter 5 of James (book of the Bible).
