Hi Carole,

I just sent an email to Benita. Hopefully she will contact you soon.

There is nothing like having a support system of someone who is going thru

exactly the same thing that you are going thru. If you don't hear from her

soon, please let me know and I will just send you all the informatin I just

sent her.

Blessings,

Hi everyone,

After reading your post on the cancer cure groups regarding the osteosarcoma,

I checked with my sons doctor in Mexico regarding alternative treatment for

osteosarcoma with metasis to the lungs and he says the best treatment would be

stem cell therapy combined with a metabolic therapy. if you want to discuss

this further feel free to give me a call at: 269-876-8475 or respond to this

email and I can go into more detail with you.

your story, the more amazed I am with both your son and YOU! I so admire your

courage and strength, especially being a single mom myself who has fought many

battles on behalf of my kids. You are just amazing!

Where can I get a copy of your book? I would really love to read the whole

story. You are an inspiration to both cancer patients and single parents

everywhere! Congratulations for all you have accomplished (and suffered) for

your child!

Welcome! below is a brief story of my son.

Virginia Hauf, whose son was cured of inoperable brain cancer by means of an

alternative and controversial treatment that remains unavailable in the United

States. Ms. Hauf tells her courageous story in her new book, Saving My Son:

Surviving Cancer.
