THE RIGHT CANCER TREATMENT |
|||||||||||||||||||||
Rev. "Sonshine"
(Online Name)
Short-term Missionary, International Choreographer
and Single Mom.
I am battling breast and lymph node cancer, yet keep a busy, everyday schedule, (with the exception of the constant travel back and forth to Tijuana!) My question and answer page linked at the bottom of this page goes into that in more detail, so be sure to visit there as well. My treatments are not
the typical conventional treatment method, but better. Low-dose chemo
with no hair loss, vomitting or major side effects! It is referred
to by some as "The Medicine of Hope". We are already seeing wonderful
results, but need still have a ways to go for the final results. I have met many wonderful IPT patients, and we swap success stories all the time. Two of them have shared their stories with me of how tragic their lives were with cancer before meeting Dr. Donato and receiving IPT treatments. Their tumors are now gone. I have personally met many people besides myself who are getting very good results with IPT, and you will read more of my own as you read my webpages. From what I have experienced and have heard from others, IPT definately deserves Clinical Trials, and I hope it gets it soon.
I pray that the funds will continue to come in for me to continue to get my needed treatments.
Having cancer does not stop me, however. On the
contrary, I am planning many missionary outreaches to Mexico to spite all
of this. The desire of my heart is to reach the nations, and help relieve
suffering wherever I can. This is my heartcry, and this has been my
life for several years now. Thank you ahead of time
for your prayers for me and my children. You can find out more about
my outreaches at: http://www.Lion.of.Judah.faithweb.com.
ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS
When one gets a life-threatening illness like cancer,
they generally learn as much as they can about the subject. I have
spent endless hours online to learn about the latest research, etc., on breast
cancer. How sad I was to find out that the same treatment offered to
me was also given to my grandmother nearly 50 years ago!
I read in research that with the billions being spent on the
research, not one thing has manifested in the breast cancer setting in 50 years!
I was shocked! When I went in to see the first doctor (before
Dr. Donato), they told me I had inoperable cancer, in the most aggressive form. They wanted to do 9 rounds of chemo on me and then radiation. "IF" I survived this, they talked of removing all
lymph nodes, and then taking the breasts off. These
practices were being used when my grandmother was
still young. I had walking pneumonia, and I knew my body could not
deal with that amount of chemo and treatment, and the doctors
admitted this would be more risky than usual. They would not even treat the pneumonia, as that was not their type of practice. I could not imagine a doctor pumping his patient full of drugs knowing it may kill them, when they could write a prescription to make them well. Welcome to the United States "procedures and laws". They would just take their chances and hope for the best.
Nobody could offer any other help, and
further, there was no visable sign they even cared. I was handed a
death sentence, no matter how I looked at it. the surgeon was very stern with
me when I asked if there were any options to this. I also mentioned
that I knew people who did alternative medicine for
treatments. She raised her voice and told me they all die, every one
of them, especially those who "run off" to Mexico. She claimed her way was the
only way ... and yet, it was not a way for me. Something inside of
me just kept saying, "Warning, this is not right! Do
not do it!!!" On the inside, my body was begging me to live.
My heart was palpitating, I could hardly breathe, I was so frightened. I just had to get
away and think and pray. If you are going through this stage, my
recommendation to you is that you do NOT have to make
an immediate decision! Don't fall for that and thereby make a
terrible mistake! You are a child of the Living God, and you deserve better!
God gave me something/someone better, and He will do the same for
you! Do not disregard the illness, it is serious stuff, just don't make
a decision until you have had time to pray and cry out to
God.

MEDICINE OF HOPE
IPT has been referred to as the medicine of hope, and
rightfully so. Here I was, terrified out of my mind, as I walked
down the hallway of that hospital that afternoon, death pronouned upon me, already ill
from the affects of the cancers, my heart pounded so hard that each
step I took was planned and consentrated, for I was
so weak with fear, I could hardly walk. I could not stop shaking.
My precious children did not know the whole of what I was told, but I had to
prepare them for their mother's departure, and get my life's affairs in
order. I
knew I was dying and the doctors gave me little or no hope. The
pneumonia had spread as well, and that had to be dealt, but the radical
chemo was supposed to start soon, leaving no time for
the healing of that illness. The doctors I talked to in the future
told me I was walking into certain death if I followed through with this
procedure. There was the family, pastor and friends to deal with as
well. People do not realize how much hell we go through when trying to make a
decision of this nature. Word to all who have loved ones going
through a life-threatening condition: DO NOT TELL THEM
WHAT DO DO! Support them and pray for them. Do not give advice
if it is not asked for. All of my friends became "experts" on the subject and
out of love nearly killed me with all of their remedies. Good food
and diet always help, but please don't hurt us any further by
forcing your will upon us. Once I started my treatments, I found
that if I would have done what many of my friends wanted, I would have been sipping tea
with Jesus right now. Which I really look forward to someday, but
right now, I am needed here on earth helping others.
Can you imagine having that hanging on you the rest of your life,
that you gave the wrong advice to your friend, which sent them to an untimely death?
Very few people really know about cancer, so please leave that up to
people who know. God bless you if you are the
loved one who does research first!
So there I was, planning for my death. I knew
with everything in me that I could not do this "conventional" treatment.
If I was going to die, it would not be with tubes all over me and being mutilated
like an experiment. Somehow, I believed God would hold me
accountable for that. If it were my time, God would take me. At this
point of my life, Jesus was either Lord of all or not at all. He
would heal me or find a doctor who cared about people who had a real plan of action.
Cutting my body up and draining my life force was not my idea of a
workable plan.
When I found out about IPT treatments, I was
thrilled, but then very sad, when I found out how much they cost!
Upon further research, I found out that I could go to Mexico and get the treatments for far
less expense. Further reading found that the founder of the IPT
treatments practiced in Mexico! Dr. Donato is
the third generation IPT doctor. I don't know about you, but I would
rather go to the one who knows the most about the procedures. It was still
expensive for me, but I was actually feeling a bit of hope.
Meeting Dr. Donato was a joy, as everything in me
told me I had made the right decision. I cannot remember ever
meeting such a humanitarian and doctor combined. Something I never knew
could happen: I was immediately given my first treatment! I
never thought I would welcome chemo, but this was so mild, I never knew I had it in
me. When you read the website, http://www.iptq.com, you will learn
how it is administered, and how it is entirely
different than the known conventional methods. To this date, I have
no hair loss, vomitting, nor other side effects linked with chemo. Imagine, someone
like me who thought her life was ending, finding life again. I know
God has given life back to me and has used Dr. Donato to
accomplish this. Dr. Donato is a very professional, intelligent and
caring person, a delight to know, witty and humorous at the right times, which is a
great help when you are so sick and hurting. He fusses over you as
if you were the greatest person he knows, and somehow
manages to make all his patients feel that way. I've talked with
several of his other patients while in the waiting room, and they all feel the
same. I cannot say enough about Dr. Donato -- you just have to meet
him to understand. The other thing I would say to
encourage you is to pray first and see if you feel this is for you.
I went into his office knowing God was going to use Dr. Donato to help me, thus the doubts and
fears were left in the United States. In my opinion, it is important
that when you begin treatments that you have full
confidence in your doctor's abilities. I have never once doubted
that Dr.Donato was going to be instrumental in my healing. I knew that I knew before I
went. The Scriptures say that the joy of the Lord is your strength,
and I hold tight to my joy and have determined that I was going to live life
to the fullest (inspite of the Taxi drives to the Tijuana office! haha).
I have another section I will be adding to share wth you about the love of
God and how He led me to Tijuana. But for now, I wanted to let you
know how God bought me from death to life, and to
encourage you that you too can have a life sentence pronounced upon you
with this "medicine of hope".
WHAT RESULTS HAVE YOU ACTUALLY EXPERIENCENED SO
FAR?
Many people have been asking me what has actually
happened to me so far. Let me tell you this: The tumor was
diagnosed in September, and was growing at about an inch to two inches in size
per month, judging only by what I could physically feel and see from
the outside of the breast. The lump was very
swollen, and upon looking in the mirror, it was clear that I could not
wear certain clothing due to the fact one side of my breast was disfigured and larger
than the other. It was becoming very painful, very solid and I had
many physical ailments accompany it. When I first
saw Dr. Donato in November, upon examination, he found another tumor.
After my 4th treatment, Dr. Donato had me take an ultra-sound to detect any
changes. By this time, the tumor site did not hurt much at all, the
swelling had subsided quite a bit, and the main tumor
was actually smaller than the original ultra-sound taken several months
earlier. As of today, APRIL 11, 2003, AFTER 14 TREATMENTS, the main tumor has shrunk tremendously.
The tumors are trying to find relocation in the lymph nodes as they disolve, however, we are still making great progress. This means that in spite of the fact that more tumors are forming, they are also shrinking. There was also a cyst found in the other breast, which is also shrinking. I have been encouraged to write a journal or memoirs of my treatments, their effects and the medications, etc. This may be selective reading, so let me know if you are interested.
CONVENTIONAL OR TYPICAL TREATMENT IN THE UNITED
STATES
Words could not describe when I actually found a
doctor who did not believe in cutting up women, but believed in
preserving feminine beauty. I was asked "Why Mexico"? Let me reply to the
shame of America for allowing the mutation of it's women, still, in this
day and age we live in. All so the AMA can pocket it's
bloody research monies. Yes, many women's blood is on their hands,
and we will someday have to give an account of why we have allowed this to go
on. The typical treatment of women in the US is apparently not going
to change -- yet. But with our prayers and much
persistance, it can. The truth of my research has led me to the
following fact:
The cancer research institutes in
every other country I have found on the Internet libraries have decided
that radical chemotherapy is NOT the answer for cancer treatments, yet this is one of the top
answers for remission in the US. It has killed more people than
helped, or caused more serious consequences which later
killed more people than helped.
I am sharing all of this information with you in
hope that if you need a miracle, you may recieve one, without falling
into the hardship of all that our typical doctors will offer us. I want you to
know that there is a medicine of hope for breast cancer and other types of
tumor growths. You will not have to have surgery, go
through painful episodes, have your hair fall out, vomit uncontrollably,
or go through early menopause. Too good to be true? I am a living
testimony. Let us pray that we will have more people in charge of
our country who will care about it's women enough to make the needed changes.

I have been asked so many questions by many people, it became necessary for me to start a QUESTION AND ANSWER page.  |
