Our Medical Center

My husband and I researched as many alternate therapies as we could find, hoping to discover a path that wouldn't leave my body a damaged wreck for the rest of my life.  In our searching, we discovered a few medical clinics that specialized in gentler but very effective treatments.  Because insurance in the United States has a narrow view of acceptable cancer treatments, these places are not very popular or easy to fund.  However, we believed that if I could find healing, it would be at a place like that.  Our final choice became a large practice in Arizona, that uses plenty of normal medical procedures in addition to many natural and healthy focused therapies such as nutrition and building up the immune system.  We read many success stories of people who went there and found real healing of even the most advanced stages of all types of cancer.  This looked like our answer to prayer.  We set up a few phone consultations, and then committed to an in-person meeting in December.  It was time to accept the path of fighting cancer with the medical care needed, although I was very reluctant to start in on needles and bloodwork, surgeries, and many unknown side effects.  Because the in-person meeting was required, we went ahead and made the plan to attend the clinic and receive treatment there.  Their normal window of time required for standard treatments is 14 weeks, so we discussed whether I should go alone, or have the whole family move out there to support me.  Of course I wanted my children and husband close, but that would also increase our costs and difficulties.  We decided that it was worthwhile to stay together, especially if I end up feeling very sick and need plenty of love and help.  We would be Arizona-bound just before Christmas.  What a strange ending to this year!
