2 months agoI'm doing Joe Tippens. A Dr in my town nearly killed me when she put a port into my heart and lung and I almost died. I had to have a heart surgeon pull it out. The nurses and Drs never saw anything like it before. She told me family she didn't understand my anatomy. I can't sue. It's impossible. The next one put in caused excruciating pain. They took out a 16.5 tumor Dec 22 2022. In Feb 2025 they found tumors in my liver and lung also. I can't hardly eat anything. Food is not my friend. It causes excruciating pain. I'm devistated. Besides doing every herb known to man and the dewormers, the tumors grew and there's a new one. I saw it in my medical chart. I haven't spoke to the Dr yet about it. I started a fast today and just want to do juicing with kale and carrots . They told me in Feb that I was gonna die soon. And chemo would just keep me alive a little longer. I'm in bad pain today. I've had more bad days than good. I am a single 57 year old woman that is so lonely and so afraid. And I have my dogs but I wish someone , like a man, loved me so he could be with me and hold me through this. I love God and I ask where he is too. I'm terrified. I don't know how to do this right now. And I want to eat. I was gonna make turkey loaf tonight but it will just cause more pain. My life is so sad and I can't even enjoy much of it anymore and I miss my family as they live a ways away from me. I came here to connect with others so I can be encouraged to keep going. My beautiful sweet girl I called the daughter I never had committed suicide in August. My son is in jail . The man I loved was an horrible abuser, narcissist , and he died in 2023 and I'm finally healing from that. My mom has dementia....Life just is so unfair and I wanted so much more out of life. And it feels like it's coming to an end now. And I'm fighting to live while I feel like I'm dying.

a month agoHi Lisa, I’m so sorry you are going through this horrible battle, I feel your pain I recently lost my wife two months after I found out I had colorectal cancer, she was my everything we we’re together for 17 years, she was my best friend. Now I have to go through this battle alone, there’s days I cry myself to sleep, I have a 15 year old son, but I don’t let him see me in pain I don’t want him to worry, going through a cancer battle is so tough, painful and sad nobody should go through this alone. Look for some support in your community, there’s good people out there that want to help we just need to ask for help.
