So, the day before yesterday, I went early in the morning to ER, knowing it would be busy. They saw me fairly soon and the doctor said it was probably an infection.
Or endometriosis. I'm 'okay good, I'll be out by noon. He said 'look for vascularization'. That's when I knew something was wrong. Then, they sent me to a CT scan and found 5 tumours in my stomach including a large one that turned out to be 'the ball'. I was right. For over a year I knew something was wrong but nobody took me seriously. Now, it's ulcerating and becoming painful. It's not only difficult to shower but frankly, I'm grossed out from the smell and fluid emminating from what I thought was a healthy stomach.

Hi Cheryl, I'm still here. I cut out all sugar and fat. For years I have been eating organic only anyway so I think it was mostly stress and negativity that contributed to my cancer.

It may work for some people but, for me, it was detrimental to my health since I cannot stomach literally solid foods any longer. I'm on a regiment of b12 and other supplements that heal the stomach lining so I can get back to eating solid food.
I have been trying to stay stress-free by meditating and cutting out all toxic people from my life. I think I'll be okay. How long had this cancer been there. Who knows! So fast. I was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer that traveled to the bone throughout my body except my skull and. I fell down stairs from having a seizure and upon scanning my neck for damage, doctor found stage 4 Cancer in almost all my bones.
Cancer had metastasized from a lump in my breast I'm still kicking over 2 years later. It could have gone both ways. I could have not responded to the first drug they offered me and the Cancer could have eaten me up in 2 months tops OR it could go like it did and my body responded to the 1st drug and nothing has spread in 2 years.
