Testimonials

I was diagnosed with melanoma in March, 2018.  Suspicious mole removed and found melanoma in my lymph nodes.  Lymph nodes removed in armpit and neck.

Started immunotherapy Opdivo and later got the all clear.  9 month check up scan showed something in my liver.  Biopsy confirmed melanoma in my liver.  Put on a trial drug that made me very sick.  Three weeks on the sofa will chills and sweats.  Felt like death.  Then came vertigo!  I was scared and frantic.  That’s when I found the Chris Beat Cancer program and discovered Bailey O’Brien’s story.  I reached out to Bailey and she was so supportive and gave me lots of information. She was familiar with Chris Wark and prayed for my journey.  I hit the program hard core.  People thought I was crazy. (they might be partially right. Lol) Juicing, raw salads, lots of supplements, emotional healing, no meat, dairy or sugar.  I’m not going to lie, it was tough!  And at times lonely.  I have no spouse or family that lives near by and my friends were supportive but not really on board.  I also started Keytruda. Another immunotherapy drug.  The only side effect I had was fatigue for 36 hours after treatment. I also discovered that getting a bag of fluid in the IV with the treatment helped tremendously and fasting one day before, the day of and the day after treatment made my body “take it” better.  I’ve always been a Christian but my faith and devotional time skyrocketed!  I studied the Beat Cancer Daily book and Radical Remission.  I put in a lot of time researching supplements and protocols. I taped inspirational quotes all around my home.   I also have a Naturopath that makes a concoction called “Catch Me Drops” from plant roots and he makes these awful green smoothies that I mix with my juice.  I can drink anything now! Lol When I go for scans, the nurses are amazed at how I can chug that liquid. Haha  I also see a chiropractor weekly and a massage therapist every 3 weeks.  At a recent massage, my therapist ended my massage by saying, “I feel I need to tell you that your energy says to release the cancer, it has served it’s purpose”.  I really took that to heart.  I prayed on that for a week wondering if I had begun to cling to the cancer victim mindset?  I released it mentally and emotionally.  I was ready for a new identity.  A healed identity.  I was having some stomach issues and they wanted to do a PET scan to see if anything was developing in my stomach.  (I was pretty sure it was from my diet and a hiatal hernia that flares up, but to be safe, we scheduled a scan.) When the results came back, we all got teary eyed….NO EVIDENCE OF METABOLICALLY ACTIVE RECURRENT MELANOMA OR METASTATIC DISEASE…….ANYWHERE!  Not only was it not in my stomach, it didn’t “light up” in my liver.

Praise God!  Now I’d like to mention I never asked what stage I was or my life expectancy.  I’ll admit I had a good idea after I googled melanoma in the beginning of my journey.  But I never said it out loud.  That was not my truth.  My God is bigger than that.  I always believed God could and would heal me.  I will continue my new found way of life and be aware of what my body is telling me, but I refuse to be fearful.  The biggest lesson learned is to truly be healthy, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.  It’s not just one thing that caused it or healed it. Surround yourself with goodness and nothing else.  Find the people that support you and believe in your journey, like Bailey and Chris and believe in the power of healing.
