“There it is
again.” I muttered to myself, frustrated as I washed my arm.
Every morning for five or six days in the fall of 2003, I noticed
rust-colored sticky stuff appearing on my left forearm and thigh.
Finally, to my shock and horror, I discovered that the rust-colored
sticky stuff was easily dripping from my left nipple. In disbelief,
I collapsed into my bedroom chair, swirling with a mix of grief and
fear. I stared at the blank white wall, feeling vacant, distant,
disconnected from what I´d just seen. I called my doctor and was
told this was not an emergency, but did need immediate attention. It
could be cancer.
After an exam, the breast cancer specialist made an appointment for
a mammogram and ultrasound. They took two sets of two x-rays on each
breast and a third x-ray of a specific area of my right breast. In
the ultrasound I could see the area of my right breast where they’d
done the extra mammogram. There was a dark mass. After the biopsy on
my right breast, I was diagnosed with infiltrating ductile
carcinoma, a rare, aggressive, deadly cancer that metastasize to the
bones and lungs. Next is death. I had symptoms of both bone and lung
cancer.
The ultrasound of my left breast showed a trail of little beads,
masses from my underarm to my nipple. “This couldn’t be good,”
I thought. These masses rubbed against the ducts, causing bleeding
and discharge. That was the rust-colored sticky stuff. My left
breast was diagnosed with a rare duct disease. My oncologist felt
that I also had cancer in this breast. She was deeply concerned, and
wanted to immediately remove the mass in my right breast and cut off
1/3 or more of my left breast.
Even before these diagnoses, I had already decided that I didn’t
want surgery. In my heart, I really didn’t believe I would live
through a surgery. I preferred an alternative approach. I wanted a
fix, not just a partial solution. I chose Mye-Cell treatments in
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and worked with Dr. Melenie Dunn, NMD in
Scottsdale, AZ. I am now cancer-free.
I have the confirmed belief that each of life’s moments hold a
purpose and a gift. I don’t always remember to live by these
beliefs, but I do always come back to them. I knew that this
particular experience with cancer was about trust. It was about my
ability to trust in myself and in God. The lesson was about
realizing, knowing with every breath and every beat of my heart,
that I Am Blessed. We All Are.
