A Success Story from a Girl with Stage IV Lung Cancer

I had a relative die from this disease.   She spent 15 months fighting it through a lot of nausea, dizziness, etc. etc. etc.   Besides the chemo, they had her on 12 different drugs and a local drug store version of B12.   She was announced cancer free on New Years and by March, I thought she had really beat it and was ready to say – I guess this works.  Okay, she was now in a wheelchair, but she was alive and sounded really good.   Then her body crashed – how many chemicals can the body metabolize – and died shortly after.

Then I found out a friend had the same disease.  Sigh.  But instead of chemo she took off to Hungry for a group called “Hope Floats”   I could go on about what a great treatment this is, but thought I’d just let my friend talk for herself and for them.
