Ok. So the last time I got a quote for an iron Infusion (a much longer time ago than I realized) it was roughly R4500. I received the quote for having one done now. I'm very much in need of it, and unfortunately not being helped by Groote Schuur Hospital. It's just urgent as Iron Deficiency anaemia sissy means Jack if Oxygen, which means cancer thrives and grows faster. I am SHICKED to the cure at the price and have a much longer West to go to raising the money than I thought.

That I have:
R2000 from House-sitting
R600 from Avon Raffle

I please need your help to share post, offer any vouchers or items to raffle or auction, support by purchasing raffles or bidding on auctions etc. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

If you can offer a voucher, item, service that can be reached it auctioned, please inbox me, every bit helps and I am truly grateful. I would really appreciate it.

12/06/2022

The argument on how to treat cancer.

With so many different types of cancer, there also comes different types of treatment.

With Breast Cancer, there are also various types of Breast Cancers, so again, various types of treatments. I have found it very disturbing to see how many women get thrown into an emotional tsunami, when they receive a Triple Negative Breast Cancer diagnosis. It is upsetting to hear how "Conventiional Doctors" tell their patients that if you do not do Chemotherapy and/or Radiation for TNBC, you are going to die. This is a LIE. Firstly, lets delve into a few things. There is NO SPECIFIC TREATMENT for TNBC. It is the only cancer that is not receptive to any of the three hormones, hence TRIPLE NEGATIVE. There is not much known about this cancer. With other breast cancers, there are Treatment Protocols that are used. With TNBC, the actual truth from the Conventional Outlook is this "We slap you with the highest, strongest Chemo. It will either cure you or it won't, we don't really know, but we cannot just leave you, we have got to do something."

Right. So. Each person has the right to choose for themselves. Without being judged. If you choose Chemo / Radiation, that is completely your right to do so. If you choose not to, and want to do Alternative / Natural Healing, then that too is your right. It is ver disturbing to see somebody say that they have TNBC and they want to opt for Natural, and then they get blasted with comments about, if you do not do Chemo / Radiation, you are going to die, there is no other way. STOP IT. Just STOP IT. That is as much true as saying Chemotherapy is definitely going to cure you and cancer will never come back again. Both hold just as much truth. Which is no truth at all.

There are so many wonderful Testimonials out there, people who have not only changed their lifestyle, and treated themselves with Natural Medications, but also did Emotional and Trauma healing. Remember, our bodies store emotions, so if you have past trauma, unforgiveness, bitterness, resentment, those feelings are stored up in the cells of our bodies, and they cause harm. It is so important to see to our emotional well being as well as our physical. They go hand in hand.

When looking into Natural Treatments, it can get pretty overwhelming, and also extremely confusing. It also does not help that in South Africa we are not as advanced as the U.S.A. with what we stock and what is available to us. But if you dig deeply enough, you will find an equivalent in South Africa, you just have to know what you are looking for. I would like to document some things, and will start saving them in files, for people to access, to make it easier. For me it was really tough going, and I felt so lost and out of sorts, because I really did not know where to look and what to do. After battling for a long while, I came across a lady who really helped me, and through her I found somebody who could guide me as to where I could find what I was looking for, what dosages are correct etc. A wealth of information. And I would like to share that.

To anybody out there who is not sure, please do not be bullied. It is your body, it is your choice. I will not give my opinion on Chemotherapy and Radiation, as that is not my place, but I will say, you can heal yourself naturally. Please do not allow anybody to tell you any differently.

If anybody is interested in a Support Group for South Africans wanting to heal Naturally, just give me a shout.

Stay strong, take it one day at a time, and remember, stress and worry just add to the dis-ease, start meditating, doing breathing exercises, and find something that relaxes you and takes the stress off your mind. It is so important to find a space where you can just be.

Much love to all.

12 June 2022.

Good morning dear hearts.

So, after an up and down and waiting months for the FenBen to arrive, it didn't. I contacted the Manufacturers and they were extremely kind to refund each of my orders (I put in 4). I have since been able to purchase a product with FenBen in it (trades under a different name), so I have finally started.

My Protocol is now:
Panacur Powder
Tumeric Capsules
Garlic Capsules
MultiVitamin
Alkaline Powder
Oxygenate Capsules / Hydroden Peroxide Food Grade Drops (I alternate)
Fresh Fruit and Veggies (Juicing a lot)

I am currently struggling with Iron Deficiency Anaemia, but that is not related to the cancer. So I will be going to hospital in two weeks, to book for an Iron Infusion. I am currently house and pet sitting, and only able to go after 20th June to have a check up and to be booked for an Infusion (if it is approved) Otherwise I will try to purchase Spatone Liquid Iron, which is what I take, as it has a much higher absorption rate into the body, it also does not make me nauseous or give me pain on my stomach, which can be terrible.

I am thankful that I have gotten this far, and I want to extend a huge thank you to each person who has been so kind in donating, helping me with food, toiletries, meds, I seriously cannot do it on my own, and I am always very grateful.

It is very normal for somebody who has had a "c" diagnosis, to go through hundreds of emotions. As much as we concentrate on emotional healing, on medicating, and adopting as healthy a lifestyle as is possible for us (we all have different circumstances), we still struggle with thoughts that randomly pop up and knock us off our feet. The truth of things are, that it is difficult to work through such a diagnosis, because of the "death stigma" attached to it. Even though we know that we are able to heal our own bodies, we are still first and foremost human, and there will always be a ni**le and a doubt, it is however up to our each individual self, to quash that, before it can take root and grow. So yes, acknowledge what you are feeling, but don't give it space to take root and grow, work through it, don't shelve it, work it, and conquer it.

I am going to try to post more regularly as I go along and learn more. I know I am on this journey for a reason, and if what I learn, can help just one other person, that's good enough for me

Good morning dear hearts.

An update. I know I am not good with these. I struggle to post, because it forces me to think of things that I would rather not. But one can only hide for so long.

So my journey has been as follows:

Discovered a lump end October 2020. Booked in to the Breast Clinic at Groote Schuur Hospital for check up.

Biopsy done.
Diagnosis December 2020 (on my 50th birthday) Triple Negative Breast Cancer. Grade 3. Tumor 2cm x 2cm.

Chemotherapy a risk due to Heart Condition and Heart Function Percentage.

Did one session of Red Devil combined with some other Chemo, didn't ask, and was not told. I was so sick from just the one, I landed up in Hospital twice. They were scared that I had Sepsis. It was tough going, but I got through. Received an Iron Infusion as well. Spent three days in bed not able to look after myself and struggled because it was still expected of me to do dishes, cook, do washing, run the house, and I just could not. I crawled on hands and knees to the toilet. What was usually about a five second walk, took me half an hour to crawl.

So Chemo stopped.

I opened a Back a Buddy Link so that I could do Ozone I.V and Rife Therapy. Funds for that lasted long enough for me to keep the tumor at bay until they removed it on 8 June 2021. Since then funds have dried up. I have used the bit that has come in, to purchase Mega Oxygen Capsules, Tumeric and Multi Vitamins to keep me going.

I was booked for a Mammogram as well as a G-Scan in March/April, as I felt another lump in my left breast close to where the first one had been. Oncology Doctor confirmed that he also felt it.

The Mammogram showed two fatty lumps that were a bit larger than the others, hence we were feeling them, not tumors. However the scan showed a 2mm growth on my lung. As well as a blood clot. For now, because the growth is so small, nothing will be done. I have been placed into the High Risk Clinic at Groote Schuur Oncology.

I am currently waiting for my FenBen Capsules to arrive from U.S.A. they are due 6 May 2022, and I have managed to purchase enough to last me for 40 days. I am hoping to raise enough money through Back a Buddy, as well as raffles, donations etc. to put in another order soon, as the order takes roughly a month and a half to get here, unfortunately we do not have this in South Africa, so I have to import it.

It is my only other hope, along with prayer and faith, and a journey of emotional healing, through which I hope and pray to overcome this and beat the beast.
I am so thankful to each and every one who have chosen to assist me, or just to encourage me. It really means a great deal, especially because it is such a scary place to be, words of encouragement are always welcomed, and I thank you for all the help and love you have show.

23/03/2022

Hi everybody,

Thank you for the support in my journey.

I am going to Groote Schuur Hospital on 30 March 2022 for a G-Scan, to determine if the cancer has moved to anywhere else in my body.

I am hoping to be able to start the FenBen Protocol at least within the next two months, earlier if I can raise the funds faster, as I have to order FenBen from overseas.

In addition to this I am using Alkaline Water to keep the body from being over-acidic, Tumeric & Sutherlandia Tea, and Mega Oxygen Tablets, along with Staminogro Vitamin Supplement. All of these depend on whether I have finances or not.

I am currently trying to run Raffles, as well as my Back a Buddy page, if you would like to donate or assist in any way, it would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking at hosting a fundraiser mid April, so if you are interested in attending, please watch this space.

Thank you so much to everybody for your support, kind words and just being there with me through this journey.

Blessings
Debbie

I would like to do a very brief update, As I plan to take some time out to be quiet and sort out my thoughts.

My Back A Buddy is virtually at a standstill. I am hoping and praying that by some miracle this will change, as now more than ever, I need to get some Ozone IV and Rife Therapy.

This morning's visit to Oncology. A lump again right next to where the previous lump was removed, as I suspected. Another lump in my right breast. Abnormality under my arm where lymph glands were removed.

I am booked on various days for a Brain Scan, Bone Scan, Lung X-rays and another mammogram and biopsies. Then after all of that I will sit down to hear the results. The Doctor says that if cancer had spread, then they will not do a double mastectomy, as it would be pointless (cannot do chemo), and hence I am desperately wanting to do the Ozone and Rife.

I need some time to process, so please forgive me if I am not around but I need the time out. I will be finishing the bookings I've made thus far with my house and pet sitting, but no new bookings will be added, as I am not sure how I am going to cope emotionally or physically.

Thanks so much to everybody for understanding.

I would really appreciate it if you shared my Back A Buddy Link. I am not able to do this without help. Right now I am desperate. Each session costs R650 and I need to do as many sessions as I can. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 I can't speak the link far and wide through Facebook advertising as I do not have money for that, so very much depending on word of mouth.

Thank you so much.

Hi everybody

Please may I ask you to share my Back a Buddy Link.

I am desperately wanting to go for Ozone IV Therapy again, but just do not have the funds. The tumor is extremely sore at the moment, and I am still struggling to get an appointment at the Groote Schuur Hospital Breast Clinic, same as before. I am going directly to Hospital on Tuesday, to try and force an appointment as this tumor needs to be removed. Most probably this time around it will be a mastectomy. I also need to be checked up on my lungs, as I am finding some problems there as well.

I would really appreciate the help. It's the only way I can fight this.

Thank you so much
Debbie.

One of those sleepless nights....

Tonight I am struggling terribly to slow my brain down, I am being overwhelmed by the what ifs and is it's. And sometimes Google is not your friend, depending on what you are googling.

Because I am struggling to get into the Government Breast Clinic again, I take my questions to Google. And I get things like this....

Cancer type: Aggressive cancers like inflammatory breast cancer and triple-negative breast cancer are harder to treat. They’re more likely to come back and spread.

So well, I have Triple Negative, and it's already another lump after my op 8 months ago. I cannot afford oxygen tablets, or cannabis oil, or ozone therapy. I feel like Whitney Houston's song "waiting to exhale", except mine will read "waiting to die".

The hardest for me is the not knowing. Having a second lump, along with other symptoms I've been told to look out for, without the means to have it checked out so that I can get answers.

After my op, and my Ozone IV, I felt really well, walked every day, I felt alive. Over the past two months I have no energy, I have the need to sleep all the time, the tumor burns like hell, I'm short of breath and dizzy. Constantly. And all I want is just to know, not to constantly be in this bubble of uncertainty.

I'm trying to stay positive, but this is hard.
Please don't feel sorry for me, that's the last thing I want, I am just writing down my thoughts and feelings.

Just FYI, this is what the little fu***rs look like.
🙏

11/12/2021

I stopped Ozone I.V. Therapy and RIFE Treatment 5 months ago due to lack of funds and Back A Buddy going nowhere fast. I found another lump today about 1cm away from my lumpectomy which was done 6 months ago.

I am busy making peace that if I cannot go for treatments, then what must be will be.

I haven't shared my journey in my cancer page, because it has been such an emotional rollercoaster for me, but I think it's time. So tomorrow i will start sharing snippets at a time.

Once again a very good morning to everybody.

I am crying out to you, please share my link as far and wide as possible for me Back a Buddy fundraising campaign.

I go in on the 7th to have tumour removed on the 8th June. It's the most dangerous time as this is when cancer cells possible shoot through the body and attach to other parts. I very much need to start up the Ozone and Rife therapy to try to combat this. My funds ran out a while ago and treatment had to stop.

Please note that the funds do not get paid to me, they pay it over to the Doctors Practice. So funds are used exclusively for my treatment.

Remember every R10 is a blessing towards treatment and I would truly appreciate it please. Help me to live a little longer.

Thank you so much for your support.

7 June 2021, I will be admitted into F Ward. 8 June I will undergo surgery. 6 weeks after that I will know how good/bad things will be.
I can't really think of how to put what I am feeling into my own words, so I will just share somebody elses. ..........

Barely the day started and... it's already six in the evening.
Barely arrived on Monday and it's already Friday... and the month is already over... and the year is almost over... and already 40, 50 or 60 years of our lives have passed... and we realize that we lost our parents, friends.
and we realize it's too late to go back...
So... Let's try, despite everything, to enjoy the remaining time...
Let's keep looking for activities that we like...
Let's put some color in our grey...
Let's smile at the little things in life that put balm in our hearts.
And despite everything, we must continue to enjoy with serenity this time we have left. Let's try to eliminate the afters...
I'm doing it after...
I'll say after...
I'll think about it after...
We leave everything for later like ′′ after ′′ is ours.
Because what we don't understand is that:
Afterwards, the coffee gets cold...
afterwards, priorities change...
Afterwards, the charm is broken...
afterwards, health passes...
Afterwards, the kids grow up...
Afterwards parents get old...
Afterwards, promises are forgotten...
afterwards, the day becomes the night...
afterwards life ends...
And then it's often too late....
So... Let's leave nothing for later...
Because still waiting see you later, we can lose the best moments,
the best experiences,
best friends,
the best family...
The day is today... The moment is now...

We are no longer at the age where we can afford to postpone what needs to be done right away.
So let's see if you have time to read this message and then share it.
Or maybe you'll leave it for... ′′ later "...
And you'll never share it....

I have started a Back A Buddy Fundraiser, to be able to carry on with treatment.

Hi everybody.

I am creating this page, where I can post Raffles, Events, Fundraisers for my Journey with Cancer.

In December I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer, a very rare and aggressive form of Cancer, of which not much is known, and there is no specific treatment plan for it. I did one session of Chemotherapy, but because of my underlying heart condition, that session nearly wiped me out.

I would love to be able to do Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Holistic Therapy, in order to lengthen my lifespan.

You are more than welcome to contact me should you wish to assist.

Looking forward to seeing you here.
