Supporting The Fight Against Cancer..


Many of us have, in one way or another, been affected by cancer. A Family member, a close friend and even yourself. It is a noble thing to support a worthy cause and I hope you will all join me in supporting this one. I myself lost my mother to cancer and I hope one day that a cure or treatment can be found that will prevent the heartache and loss of so many all over the world.

Thank you ~ Dave Hedges

Cancer is a ugly world. It touches so many people. My family included. My brother was recently diagnosed with Brain, back, and just had a kidney removed Friday. And The Cancer Treatment Center of America has been a blessing for hope with his treatment. Prayers for everyone this ugly disease has touched past and present.

My doc actually cured my breasr cancer he is DR.Vincent Ansanelli of Plainview NY he uses laser breast surgery right in office it's so Star Trek that it's a 1 day procedure!!! it's been 1 year now and there is NO TRACE OF IT IN ME!!! He is the best!!! because he doesn't use chem or rad and because the big pharma hates him he has to charge cash to most people, but I have my life!! for lumpectomy it's $2,500 for removal of breast it's $5,000 but he worked with me that, People don't use Rad or cghemo it will kill you doc cannot legally tell you not to use either but I can and I'm living PROOF!!!! of course I am now 95 % vegan and take querctin and extract of green tea which makes sulfrane which kills any and all cancer cells in body no matter where they are!!!!

My Dad had lung cancer. Drs operated and removed part of a lung and gave him 5 years to live. My Dad lived 17 more years and we would have lost him anyway cause he was diagnosed with Alzheimers. The lung took him before he turned nasty from the alzheimers. I know that for sure because his mother and sister both passed from alzheimers and I saw how horrible it was for them. So for anyone that doesn t believe, there is a GOD!!!!! Thank you so much God for giving my Dad those extra 12 years and for taking him before the alzheimers got bad.

I am fighting a stadium 4 colo-rectum cancer which has been spread to my liver.... since the prognosis is not so good, I have read about 7.8 month (my doctor was not able to give prognosis). I choose not to use conventional medical treatments so far (2 months since the diagnostic). Hopefully the alternative treatment I choose will work well.

Please keep your faith strong anything is possible. I was diagnosed with stage 4 cervical cancer on October 18 2012. of course it came as a shock to say the least esp. since I have never been sick a day in my life that required a doctors visit. I prayed to God to take this cancer away and it was about three weeks later I found out no sign of cancer could be detected!! I know God took the cancer away there is no doubt! How long God will give me I do not know I will thank him for each and every day I am blessed with. praise the lord and have faith he will be there for you. there is a reason for everything. may God bless and hold you all.

There is a cure for cancer, so I suggest you look at this on the web. A cure for cancer the FDA tried hard to shut down. We must face facts here, to have a cure would mean drugs companies will be out of busines. They don't give a damn, as long as they are making money with their 'Dirty Medicine' and I recommend this book to everyone with that title by Martin Walker researcher and ativist. Science is big business.

I had one doctor who refused to see me, follow my care because there was a screw-up with my health insurance for a few days. He cancelled my apt and told me to call back when I had insurance. Needless to say I transferred my care to Dana Farber.

thank you for sharing! I have lung cancer and they gave me 1 year to live. It has now been almost 10 months and I have too many things that need to be done. I am 47 yrs. old and am now on hospice, the chemo wasn't working anymore and the cancer already was in my bones, surgery was then not an option. I believe that God will help me through this and grant me the opportunity to live for many more years to come.

Please tell your family. please. You might not think you're worth it, but you are precious beyond all words and you need to step out in faith toward them, give them a chance to show you just how much they love you. My best friend just passed of cancer, pretty much the same as your husband, it was shocking and it was fast - and it is devastating.
She prayerfully decided not to fight. She's with Our Lord now. Tell your family O.K.? God bless you sister. praying for you!!!

March 2012 diagnosed with aggressive prostrate cancer. I thought it was literally the end of my world. Over the last year I've had hormone therapy along with radio therapy & to my surprise things have gone really well. They never say you're cured but my consultant expects me to die of a something other than cancer. I'm 64, hope & expect to live well in to my 90's god willing. Never give up hope, always be positive.

I am fighting the battle right now, it will be Fall of 2013 until treatment is complete, but I am staying very positive, keep fighting. Prayer and faith are getting me through this, If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Cancer has affected my family on many levels...My daughter, my brother-in-law, and my mother.

At the age of 19 my daughter was diagnosed with cervical cancer when we found out she was pregnant. She had to endure the uncertainty of the outcome until the delivery of our youngest granddaughter Taylor. She underwent many procedures to insure they got it all, and it did leave her cancer free, but it also left her with out the ability to have other children...we live everyday with the fear it will return.

My brother in law, had skin cancer, which did take his life in the end, he fought a brave battle and continued to work through out the years he went thru treatments.

My mother Ellen Williams was diagnosed with Breast cancer, she was a strong women who refused to give up the fight. She was a strong advocate in Breast Cancer awareness, she promoted self examination and strived to instill it my brain as well as my daughters the importance of it. Through education, mother was in remission for 8 years when she had a fatal heart attack which took her life.

It is because of Cancer effecting so many in my life, which have offspring that could possibly endure the same fate, it is my goal to help find a cure!!!

My brother passed away at the age of 59 yrs. Old leaving behind wife, 4 kids and 8 grands. For 8 or more yrs. He had gout on his knees, taking medicine. Februay, March, april 2013 he's been in and out from the hospital for his pain which started on his knees both, his back then finally he can't even move. april 2013 his wife decided to take him to private doctor. Dr. ala lou did some test and found out he need to be referred to off island specialist coz it shows on his test too many white cells. He was the send to the phillipines where the doctors told him he has cancer and his left kidney has to be remove immediately that's why he cannot walk bcoz his kidney fail.. After his left kidney had been removed doctor came back and told him he had cancer and it spread all inside him and the cancer is in his liver and lungs and the doctors cannot do anything. The doctor gave him only a week or less to live he is in stage four... The family including my dad 81 and my mom 79 yrs old in disbelieve that my brother will leave them so soon. His heart became weaker and weaker. All the families skype with him just before he close his eyes trying to gasp his breath to talk...tear! I will never forget my brother he is our oldest in the family. He left us all on the third day instead of a week. I was mad with the doctors at our hospital for not finding it earlier but I thank God that my brother did not suffer too long. We prayed N prayed to lord jesus that if there is cure for our brother, son, father, husband, friend ro please help him, help us and heal and cure this deadly disease that our brother battling with. He is in so much pain that not a day goea by and the pain will stop, . Please God., but if there is no hope or cure for him rather than for him suffering we all accept your decision if you are to take him. Amen..Amen.
I will never forget my brother. He will always be in our hearts, thoughts and prayers..
For those families that lost their love ones to this sickness i know how you felt and what you are all going through but be strong because we all do not know where this kind of sore cancer came from and all our departed love ones are in tranquil and peaceful place. SAD very sad that its tearing our hearts but we will all meet someday again with our departed love ones. God bless you all to those that lost their love ones with this kind of sickness and BE STRONG.

Lost Mom, Aunt and Uncle to cancer. Now I have it. Had a mammo last Aug, Told the results were QUESTIONABLE. Had mammo redone, along with an ultrasound, two weeks later. Was told it came out with NO SIGNS of cancer. Here it is, nine months later. I found a lump in my breast a month ago. Had a lumpectomy last week, which came out POSITIVE for cancer. WTH! I am furious, as I feel an error was made reading the second mammo, and now someone else's incompetence may cost me my life.

I understand about Cancer. My husband died of Lung Cancer in April of 2012. Took care of him for 7 years. He took treatments. It was so hard to see him die a little bit everyday until he was gone. I guess if there was a good part about it was that we spent all our time together everyday we did and we places we he was not sick and able to travel. So I have alot of memories of special things that we did. So I pray everyday that they find a cure. Because I see so many people suffering with the disease. My Mother also died of Cancer in 2009. I also was her care giver. When my husband was in treatment I helped at the Cancer center doing for other patients as well. God bless all families that has to go through this.

I lost both my parents to cancer,my dad first and it totally consumed him. That was one of the hardest things i ever had to endure watching my dad waste away to nothing as the cancer ate him up.That was 19 years ago. In June of this year my mom was diagnosed with lung cancer. Her Dr gave her 6 months to a year to live but on April 1st 2013 my mom passed away,it was a huge blow to my entire family. I felt lost and alone even though I had my brothers and sisters. I still feel alone and lost and I still cry for my mom and my heart aches for her every day but I am very grateful she and my dad have no more pain and they suffer no more. I take comfort in knowing that they are together again,and happy.They are with God now and he will keep them at peace. Cancer is ugly it's a very very ugly disease and I pray to God that one day there will be a cure and no other families or friends have to suffer the pain and loss of their loved ones.

I pray that your treatment choice brings you complete healing. My husband (45 yrs old) was diagnosed with Stage IV rectal cancer with liver mets in April 2013. After much research and praying, God led us to Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Philadelphia. My husband just finished his 2nd round of chemotherapy today (which he has tolerated really well with little to no side effects) and today his PET/CT scan showed no evidence of disease from the previous tumor and liver lesions. We are blessed with amazing doctors at CTCA who are aggressive in their treatment to cure my husband. He still has 2 more rounds of chemo, but today was a blessing from God. By the way, we also believe in the effectiveness of alternative naturopathic options.....we adhere to a vegan diet, limit our sugar intake and alcohol, eat only organic produce, added Curcumin, L-Glutamine, Vitamins B, C and D to his daily supplements, and believe strongly in the power of prayer and God's healing hand. Please check out Dr. Ralph Moss' research on Colorectal Cancer. We had a phone consultation with him, and found the information to be very helpful. (www.cancerdecisions.com). Dear Heavenly Father, please bring comfort and peace to this gentleman, and I ask that you guide him to the best treatment for complete healing. Amen.

I lost an aunt in year 2011, my uncle (her husband) & a brother this year.. Many of us are affected by cancer in one way or another. I know that we sometimes feel helpless because we cannot do anything to help our loved ones heal, this should never make us lose hope.. There is hope in God almighty. Let us pray, speak to God day & night so He gives us that strength to keep on loving & caring for them..so that if they happen to pass on, they'll go with merry hearts. Have faith!

I lost my Mother in april of this year to brain cancer. she was diagnosed in august last year with lung cancer and had half her left lung removed which was a success. However, the lymphnodes leaked some "bad seeds" that went to her brain. On january 17th she was told she had about 12 months left, on january 21st it was months left, on 25th january she was told it was imminent. She sadly but peacefully passed away on april 4th whilst i held her hand. I will never forget that fateful day and it haunts me to this day. My mother was a strong person and fought til the very end. I took her on a day out that she wanted, just her and me. i have the photos of that day to keep me comfort. This world can conquer everything except the ONE EVILNESS called Cancer. One day WE WILL FIND A WAY and WE WILL BEAT the evil. My thoughts, prayers and love go out to all affected by cancer, those that have lost, fought and survived the the fight against cancer. My love to you all xxx

i lost my mother on april 4th this year very quickly to cancer, she was aged just 63. i feel and share your pain. my father died in 1979, my mother had 5 miscarriages after me. i have no brothers or sisters. i am the last of my family at 43 years of age. i miss my mother so much and cry each and every day for her. i want her words of wisdom to keep me in check. i know my mum and dad are together now in a pain free paradise watching down on me just like your mum and dad are too. sometimes i feel alone but then i think..."i have my dad on one shoulder and my mum on the other". each pushing me in the right direction. i still talk to their photos and laugh with them about old times and memories and i take a lot of comfort in that. i just wish they could both be here to see how happy i am with the person i love and am happy with. i know they would both approve. my mum got me and my partner together in december of last year. my partner was with me when mum went and i swear, my mum opened her eyes and looked at us both and smiled before she passed away as if she approved and was happy that her work was done. my thoughts and prayers are with you Laura xxx

The heartache of cancer is unspeakable. My beautiful daughter-in-law, my children's father, and my father were all diagnosed within months of each. They all died in one year and one day. One of my sons during that time had melanoma but he is in remission now. My daughter-in-law left two young sons and her husband, my other son, and THEN HE was diagnosed with brain cancer. through prayer, I think, he too is at least for now, in remission. The fear for my sons surrounds us every single day, and the grief and loss just does not diminish. I will pray for all of you who are touched by this monster.

Without my mum who stayed with me for 7 weeks at the Mater hospital in Newcastle i wouldn't have coped i was fought so hard as everyday i saw mum cry and been so upset it hurt me so i put everything into getting better she prayed every night and days i could hardly move because i vomiting and felt so tired i still got up it was the hardest thing every but i today look back and see how far i have come and realizing my life was knocking on heavens door i am so glad now i gave up smoking and had my children and grandchildren and mum an dad and family to help me through it not only after all that fight a mth later i had a massive bleed from my mouth which the say was from radiation i was pronounced dead for 15 mins after been revived i heard the doctor say just make her comfortable she is not going to make it god i felt so sick and could just barely breathe and my children and family were crying i thought no not again and i prayed with wat strength i had left and said god please let me just live i don't want to see my family in this pain and i got rushed to the john hunter hospital were i had to operations and put on life support system for 4 day and then again second operation to put a coil in to stop the bleeding again and i hemorrhaged again so i am so lucky to survive it was the most horrific thing ever so those that read this SMOKING CAN REALLY CAUSE CANCER DON'T PLAY WITH CANCER BECAUSE YOU MAY NOT BE LUCKY TO WIN THE BATTLE I AM JUST LUCKY TO GO THROUGH AND SURVIVE THREE TIMES.always have check ups because my started just by a ear ache and a small lump that turned into a tumor.

I lost my son to cancer - he too was only 35 years old. My son had 18 months. He left us 2 beautiful granddaughters. The hardest thing for me was to tell him that it was ok to go. It was breaking my heart to see him suffer. He was very brave as well saying that he was not dying of cancer he was living with it even though we knew from the start that he was stage 4.

I was diagnosed stage two breast cancer August 13,2012. No family history, no illness, no signs, no warnings. 50 years young with a married daughter, a son about to get married and four more children. God gave me the Bible verse" yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death". I shouted "thanks a lot God" and He made me repeat it. Yea though I walk THROUGH the valley.... I wasn't going to stay!!! My God promised. 2 surgeries 4 chemo hair loss( looked like my dad) 25 radiations. I know my God removed the cancer after first surgery. I continued as normal and no one knew I had cancer. I don't want to say sick because God strengthened me. Now, 11 months later my husband has been diagnosed with cancer and he told me he will not fight it. I can not fight for him. He is, as we all are, in God's hands. My God gave me strength and I will praise Him forever.

My brother passed away to cancer, and within a year of that, I was diagnosed with stage 4. I had insurance, but only a 30% chance with my treatment. The chemo drug which would double my chance at survival was not covered by my insurance and cost over $40,000. We could not afford it. I did not take it. I would not go into debt for a drug which would not even put my chances at 75%. Instead, we went with the first chemo and prayer. I will be in remission for two years this September. I do not know why or God's plan. Yet, I was actually angry when the doctors told me my cancer was gone. I was not prepared for that. I was prepared to die. I had no energy, yet a sense of calm took over. Today, my happiness is genuine and my heart is open to all of you who have battled this horrid war from either side. To watch my healthy brother lose 100 pounds, crying that he did not want to die..to please never forget him...and to have him slip away. Then, to fight my own fight. But, you see, there was a beauty in it all. These courageous nurses and doctors. The people who form prayer chains (which I could actually "feel" in the core of my being). The young children with steadfast hopes and dreams. The realization of what matters and what does not. The understanding that, even if this world brings us messy difficult times, there is no place I'd rather be until God calls me home. All this together bonds me with you. So, if you suffer the wrath of cancer, do not fall victim to it. Watch the sun rise, surround yourself with upbeat people, pray to your own source of faith, read light books, watch funny shows, listen to light music. If someone you know suffers, wrap 30 tiny gifts (bookmarks you make, etc) one for each day - with a saying or anything...so that that person will have something to look forward to, tomorrow.

My husband is battling also, the cancer he has is called multiple myeloma, since 2001. In 2010 he went into Rena failure. Once cancer hits the body the person have fight infection. Antibiotics solves one of whatever is ail. Then its kills the good bacteria. My husband had an infection called C'Diff's, I'm at different Drs with him almost everyday. He's lost so much of his body weight, haven't found a med that has make long progress. But keep hoping though.

You all know, don't you that somewhere a pharmaceutical company has the cure to cancer. But if they revealed it, they would stand to lose a lot of money because there wouldn't be a lot of sick people. I have Bowens Disease whereby I continue to get squamous cell carcinomas.I have had about 12 surgeries since '07.They began on my scalp and moved to my face and my legs.I have skin grafts on my scalp so I have to wear a scarf because I have no hair. Yet, there is no "Walk for Skin cancer" that I know of.I feel so ugly.Since they only perform MOH's surgery above the chest, I have indentations on my legs where they perform wide excisions. I've lost a dad to leukemia, a brother to Hodgkins Disease and friends, one to bone CA and another to brain CA.Its a horrible disease for sure. I really miss my dad and my brother.

Cancer is not just a dirty word, it is the ultimate insult to our Medical Field. Shame on you.Cancer has been around for over 50 years. All the money we have shared with researcher's has been utilized in some cases very foolishly We want our payback, and the time to step on the greedy doctors and pharmaceutical companies toes needs to continue with a vengeance.
We have finally put some pressure on that AMA who have initially admitted to curing early detection breast Cancer, and prostrate Cancer saving many lives, but that is now. Keep up the pressure, there is a cure, make them stop doling it out, but give us the whole cure. Our babies want to live.

I too had stage 4 Colon Cancer which has spread to Liver.. Went thru surjury to remove one fourth of my Colon, took 16 lympnodes, no sign of Cancer in any, but I had spots on Liver!!! Went thru 2 years of Chemo, some of which I was alergic to, doc was basically just monitoring me cuz my Chemo drugs were at an end, So I asked him to Refer me to MUSC in Charleston, SC... Nicest most Compassionate bunch of people I've ever been to!!! I have a team of 5 Doctors and am going thru the Y90 procedure, you can look it up on internet!! I just had the second half of my Liver done the 16th of this Month...I feel Sooo much better being off the Chemo!! My hair is growing, nails too, and I have better appetite and more energy.. Have to go see doctors next month, but this is not an overnight thing, so it will probably be another month before they do Scan... This nightmare for me began Feb 18,2011 and I was given 12 to 16 months, but my Husband didn't tell me.. He didn't receive it as being true!! Gods word says to take Heed to what you hear, because as you receive it, so it is!! Thank God for my Faith filled, word of God Believing Husband, He stayed In Hospital with me for 13 days, wouldn't let anyone speak doubt or unbelief around me, and stood on Gods Healing Scriptures, when I was too sick to do it for myself!! Feb was 2 years and I'm still here, living Life, Thanking God for everyday and his Word!!! I plan on being here for a long time because By His Stripes I'm Healed!!! I will Live and declare the Gospel of Jesus Christ!!! If you can get your hands on a Booklet called Healed of Cancer, by Dodie Olstien, it will Bless you, cuz she was diagnosed with Liver Cancer and given weeks to live, with or without Chemo. She decided against Chemo, went home, got her Bible and dug out every Healing Scripture, and stood on them!!! She is still alive, Cancer Free, and this was back in the 80's!!! Gods word says he is no respecter of persons, so what he did for her, he will do for us, of we Believe and have Faith in His Word!!!! God Bless You!!!

My 82 year old Papi was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer on April 22, 2013. He received radiation and one chemotherapy treatment. Doctor recommended he be placed under hospice care. This gave us an opportunity to spend quality time during his final stage. Papi passed in his sleep on June 30,2013. After his private cremation service, we celebrated his life by having a luncheon where everyone got to take a framed picture of Papi along with his favorite prayer. We continued the celebration sharing words of wisdom we remembered Papi by. In addition, we got to view the family albums. The whole day was dedicated to Papi. I know he is in a better place. I remember him daily. I thank God for allowing him to be in my life for 55 years.

I lost my mother to colon cancer in January of this year. Cancer is definitely a beast to the human body. Just to watch my mother suffer and slip away toward death is really surreal to me. The first that I have ever experienced in my 40 years of life. I' ve had other family members to pass away but mother is "the straw that broke the camel's back".

I lost my mother to cancer. A year after she died I was diagnosed with breast cancer. this was twenty years ago. I have friends now who are going through the same. Please pray for them. It's a question you ask is why was I spared and the mothers with small children have not a chance. I try to help them because, I guess, I sometimes feel guilty for living. Many people tell me God was not through with me. I do Praise God for life!!!!!

My sister was diagnosed with colon cancer October 2012. She underwent chemo and radiation immediately. Surgery was done early February. She became septic from the surgery and spent 3 months in the hospital where she died and was brought back 3 different times. She is fighting every step of the way and won't let this stop her. We had a cousin pass from breast cancer 10 years and our grandmother had a mastectomy done 8 years ago. She recovered, but, died of old age 3 years ago at the wonderful age of 92. Pray, pray, pray.... that is the BEST medicine. I have a beautiful prayer if anyone would like to use it, given to me by a very wonderful, compassionate priest.

I have survived cancer two times, in 2003 I had stage 2 colon cancer, confined to my colon, removed part of my colon and no treatments were needed. I recently survived uterine cancer, I had a total hysterectomy and in all that was removed there was only 2 percent cancer and it was stage 1, again no treatments, I thank God for giving me the signs to know there was something wrong and the ability to catch it early. Early discovery of cancer is the best cure. God Bless those who have lost the battle, are now fighting the battle, as well as those as fortunate as myself who have survived, as well as the families and friends who have been affected.

So many have fought the brave battle and either they'll win or lose. My former wife battled and won...but shut off the world around her.

Tomorrow morning I have a friend who will begin his battle by having surgery for lung cancer.

Last week I discovered that another received her clean bill of health following her battle with breast cancer.

We all have or know someone who is or has battled this sometimes deadly disease.

We sll have story's we can share. One thing we all have in common, is that cancer will leave a profound footprint on your life.

We are all hero's, real life warriors for dealing with this disease.

Thanksgiving week of 2010 I lost both of my parents to cancer. My dad passed away on the 21st of november. Later that day I took my mom to have a blood transfusion, because that was all that was sustaining her at the time. The next day after I got done planning my dads funeral i had to go tell my mom that her blood counts were at the point that the transfusions weren't working anymore. That she had about 3 days left to live. She passed on Thanksgiving. My parents had been divorced since i was 13 but always did stuff together. They loved each other just couldn't be married. So it was ironic that they passed so close to each other. It has been three years and it still hurts as bad today as it did then but life goes on. I love and miss my parents very much.

My only sister, who was a year older than me was diagnosed with uterine cancer in 2011. She went through the chemo treatment and went into remission, bu then the following year it came back to her liver. She didn't survive the second round of chemo and died on March 3, 2013. My mom was already going though chemo for ovarian cancer. It also went into remission, but then it returned in 2016, shortly after my dad died of congestive heart failure. She didn't want to go through the chemo again, so she was put in home hospice care. She died on November 20, 2018. I was at her side until the very end. She went peacefully. I'm the only one left now. I had a brother, almost 4 years younger than me. He was shot to death on February 23, 1993. I still have my sister's husband and 2 grown kids, though. They've helped me tremendously. They've been a real blessing.
