I was diagnosed with Stage IV Thyroid cancer on June 24th, 2004 - On july 26th, 2004, I had surgery, they removed my thyroid, parathyroid glands and lymph nodes. The cancer had also spread to my muscle on my shoulder. In November 2004 I went through eight weeks of radiation to my neck and shoulder area. I have also had three rounds of Radiactive Iodine therapy. I got really sick that Christmas, my throat was so burned I couldn't eat for about 5 months. I lost 40 lbs and was so weak I could only lay in bed. Somehow I survived and am still surviving. In February 2007, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor, the neurosurgeon informed us that it was inoperable. I am still under the care of the Canadian Cancer Board, I go for regular testing and still not cancer free. I am waiting for Thyrogen Injection testing, a major tumor marker test, I have now completely quit working full time because I want to work on my health. I am always looking for reaources which is how I came accross your book, A Survivors's Guide to Kick Cancer's Ass. I am going to try to cure myself. Wish me luck.

When the darkness shuts out the light, We must lean on faith to restore our sight, for there is nothing we need to know, If we have faith that whereever we go, God will be there to help us bear, Our disappointments , pain and care. by Helen Steiner Rice
