No cancer is not a death sentence! For me it was the chemo! Had Stage IV colon cancer 25 years ago! They got what they could and said I needed chemo! I did one week! Had an infectious reaction to the chemo. Two weeks later I was taken to ER where I went on a four stage body shutdown! The doctor gave me two hours to live!
Was in a coma for two weeks! But i made it!
I never went back for chemo! Instead I devised a plan thanks to a book I read called "TROUT WATERS"! The author had gone through a similar circumstance with chemo and colon cancer. He took a year off and fly fished! His cancer never returned!
Luckily my job took me from the Mexican boarder to the Canadian boarder!
I was traveling in a 36' motor home through the Rockies.
So my plan was to take my fly rod and fish when I could! NEVER GOT OFF THE MAIN HIGHWAY! JUST FISHED WHERE I COULD!
I was on a river all or part of 200 days of that year! (INTERESTING, I HAVE NEVER HAD A BETTER SALES YEAR SINCE THEN)
The cancer has never returned!
My point is you can cure yourself by setting a goal and then find something you have always wanted to do and do it with your whole body and mind!
Good Luck and my Best for you to recover!
