RE: My breast cancer diaries 3: a snail can go to Paris

The body knows more than we give it credit for. Don't be too hard on yourself for not being vocal enough - even the bravest, loudest folks become quite tame and submissive in hospital. It's a psychological thing, the patient mentality. As for the doctors, I'm personally extremely skeptical of the medical system. That being said, my best friend is a doctor. They're just cogs in a machine and frustrated because our government seems to care little for healthcare, doesn't give them enough money, tools, etc.

So sorry to hear what you are going through, Mary. May God be with you. You were very wise not to do that third chemo session. And on a more humble note, can I ask, as Aces did, have you considered alternative approaches?

If I could give you a word of advice, as my family has also been battling with breast cancer this past year, it would be follow your heart and don't downplay the power of thought - if you believe something will help you, that has immense healing power. Whereas, if you are going into a treatment (any treatment) doubtful, that also has weight.

May you have a full and speedy recovery. <3

I also tried to put myself in a doctor's shoe and yes they are mere pieces in the big money making machine called clinic. God know that if I would have to deal with 50 people per day weekly I would have a tough time being nice and cute with all. Human nature has limitations.

I believe in food and the curative power of prayer more than in medications really. I know there are oral alternatives to intravenous chemotheraphy. I will not accept anything else because I have already mentally decided. It is tough. A part of me wishes I would have been in some other country with a better system than in here yet I have also witnessed people who still do not make it with all of the advanced medicine in the world.

Food prayer movement and emotional cleansing. I believe in these more at this point. I shall see what the future holds on next.

Thank you so much for the encouragements🤗🤗

Then go with that <3 Best of luck to you, friend.

Thank you girl🤗
