Description

In 2001, fresh-settled in Denver from California and now a widow, I found a job, started making new friends, and went dancing once or twice every weekend: Swing, Latin, Ballroom, and Country. In November that year I was accidentally diagnosed with leukemia.

Never mind, I thought. Keep enjoying life. A lifelong violin player, I developed arthritis in my fingers and could not play to the standard I expected of myself. So I auditioned for the Colorado Symphony Chorus and sang with them for five terrific years as well as dancing whenever we had no concerts. For eight years I continued this lifestyle, taking the official leukemia pill daily and seeing the doctor quarterly. Then I woke up and realized that the pill would never cure me and my doctor was expecting me to die in mid-2009, per the American Medical Association statistics. So I got busy reading and researching.

The Saga narrative covers mistakes I made, things I learned the hard way, and people who helped me. It describes my first encounters with alternative cancer treatments such as IPT and hyperthermia; the changes in diet and lifestyle that removed toxins and increased oxygen levels; and the weight loss and weakness known as cachexia. Thanks to the attentive care I received in an Arizona cancer clinic, I came through that cachexia alive and strong despite conventional predictions. In sidebars, the Saga provides helpful and educational information for readers who want to know more about treatment options other than chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery.

The Saga also offers five sections on energy work to start clearing, validating, and protecting your own space. These include specific tools anyone can learn to use that remove stress and increase personal confidence.

Praise for My Cancer Survival Saga And How You Could Star in Yours

“Your style, which resembles a novel, is excellent, and books like this are sorely needed. People with cancer are always looking for someone with whom to connect. It’s essential and therapeutic.
That’s my opinion after twenty years of working with cancer.”
—Dr. Thomas Lodi, Founder and Director, An Oasis of Healing, Arizona
