Joanne, where can we find your book?

December 14, 2008

Whoa Joanne!! Now where can we find your book?

Wow , I think you are my long lost twin!

What an encouraging letter!

Jim, I think you ask such smart questions and your questions are helping

hundreds of others in this battle. THANK YOU!

Like you , I started as a one-person clinic 20 years ago at 23 years old! I

was supposedly terminal then. I was also trained as an R.N. I continued my

journey and overcame 5 cancers from 23-33 years old and a daughter with lymphoma

during that time (completely healed - she is 17 today). At times, I had more

questions than answers, met people more interested in selling me vitamins than

teaching me the whys and introducing me to others fighting but now, I truly am

blessed with all those tools.

I fought my way to becoming a metabolic typing advisor (the founder healed from

pancreatic cancer - that got my attention).

Became a clinical nutritionist (you are what you eat and absorb)

Decided to continue on to Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (to have labs analyze

people's (and mine) saliva, urine and blood for more information)

Two years ago, our then 16 year old son was diagnosed with a bone tumor above

his knee.......the kind you amputate and die of chemo many times! Well, at this

point with our second child afflicted (we have four children), we had experience

and practical knowledge. Nic is 18.5 years old today, has his leg and can feel

it! He has done a full basketball season and has no tumor....... .

All these hurdles, all this fear put to good use, all these questions...

.......... ........especially, all these hopeless comments thrown at me were put

to good use! Many refrained from being my friend because they told me I was

going to die anyway. Who do you know that recovered from a brain tumor? No, my

husband refused chemo and radiation for me. He told me to tough it out! So

today, I am whole (no more breast cancer, no more cervical cancer, no more

ovarian cancer, no more melanoma and no more brain tumor!).

This group has been my lifeline at times. No, I did not blindly choose to follow

the herd here. I chose to learn and fight my way through.

Never stop fighting!

Bless you all!

Johanne
