As some of you may know my sister Jane is going through cancer treatment. Things are good for today. All seems well but we are more in a holding pattern. The cancer in only in the ductal zone. This can be good. It has not moved to any organs in the body which is also good. Her next step is to continue to take oral chemo to keep any more growth at bay. As positive as this may sound. There are also many dangers to just staying the same. This is all so confusing and I, as her best friend and sister must try to keep her upbeat and thinking positive.
We exercise weekly and I am begining to tell her about the benefits of certain food to add to her diet and to avoid some foods. I am no expert when it comes to this. I have read many posts from you women who believe in alternative medicine. I implore to you to send me links and advice that I may pass along to Jane. She is the sunshine in my life aside from my immediate family. Our bond is as close as 2 sisters can be.
I ask for your prayers for Jane. She needs a miracle. This cancer will never go away. The tumor near her heart scares me. This is the plee of the baby sister of the family. I had 4 mothers growing up ( one mother and 3 older sisters) and now that my mother is gone due to cancer.....I just don't want to loose Jane. I know miracles happen. Please put her on your prayer lists. It would be greately appreciated.
My sincere thanks to you.
God bless all of you reading this. May god be with you.
Your friend,

I have no advice, Anne, but am praying that the Holy Spirit will send someone your way who can help. Praying for Jane and for you through the intercession of Padre Pio. He has worked miracles in our lives.

Anne, I am so sorry......I will pray hard for both of you.
The manager at our local Curves has stated numerous examples of cancers shrinking or disappearing due to folks who have no other alternatives who have taken the advice found in the book: THE CHINA STUDY
She says, they may as well try it because "what have they got to lose" There are two people who live locally..........and I heard one of the stories myself from one of the relatives.
HUGS for you........I can "feel" your pain.

Praying, Anne. I also second Chari's recommendation for The China Study -- I have some notes on it here.

Thank you all so much for your support and prayers. I can feel the warmth of your voices in your words.
Jane is in the middle of reading The China Study. Thanks Stef for the notes. They will be very helpful to me as I learn more.
I will keep you all updated as we learn more. If you think about it as you are praying add Jane to your daily list. God Bless You All!

Definitely, Anne!
Can you join us in the Rosary Novena that starts tomorrow, for your sister? Either way..........she will be included, both of you, in our rosary novena intentions.
