So as many of you know I went to the BS (Breast Surgeon) on Tuesday and he "supposedly" gave me my options - Chemo, surgery, then Radiation. While I was there they scheduled me for the following day - Wednesday, for another Biopsy (in the underarm) called Axillary Lymph Nodes. The samples were hard to extract because they were small - they had to do it 5x. It was really uncomfortable and of course my anxiety was running away with me again. I kept praying in my mind to St. Peregrine - which I just found out was the Patron Saint of Cancer. We finished rather quickly (last procedure - Biopsy of the right breast - took a total of 3 hours). Therefore my parents and I went to eat brunch. Afterwards my mother and I headed to the South Bronx - an appointment we had with an Herbalist - Holistic practitioner. (No, not a "Spiritual" practitioner or the other kind of "herbalist" lol. ) So after two hours and a bill totaling $358, I walked out with a bag of 12 bottles of herbs ( I needed a total of 17) ! From herbs to clean my Liver/Kidney, Bowels, to Detox, to Lymph/Bacteria, to cleaning the Breast Ducts, and I did not even get them all. I had to order some online because the place I went to ran out. I know you are probably thinking Rocky lost her mind or am I desperate?! Both. I figured whatever I can use "naturally" to help my body get back on track for the past 20 years...
I read on several online support groups, that some of the women who already received cancer treatments are using these homeopathic remedies to help clean out their system from the after effects of these cancer treatments. Some even suggested they would have done the herbs first before surgery or treatments had they known about them. {I told you guys before I already had prior knowledge of these herbs and did my own research before I went to this particular Holistic Practitioner.}
I also ordered an herb (fruit), Puerto Ricans & Hispanics call Guanabana - in English called Soursop. Some other places like Amazon or Zen Medica - call it Graviola. It's some kind of "miracle fruit." BUT as with any herb or food in general - you have to take things in moderation. "Too much of any good thing is not always GOOD."
My whole take on this is: if I can avoid Chemo or no Radiation or less surgery , why not try the Holistic approach - it can ONLY help. Can it possibly make me any worst than I am now?!
And for those of you who "really" know me - I been praying (like I always have) - for a MIRACLE! I believe in the Glory of GOD and of course the Powerful Intercession of MARY! (Can you tell I'm not really trying to have Chemo or Radiation?!) Let me be clear for all those that think I "suddenly" had some kind of "Epiphany." (And not that I have to anything to prove!) However, I would like to prove to certain people the Miraculous Powers of GOD...
Not to prove anything: the results of the Biopsy of the Axillary Lymph Nodes came back negative - in other words, the cancer did not spread to the lymph nodes! And I quit smoking - cold turkey! (I think the herbs are making my cigarettes taste like Ajax in my mouth.)
And as always, please join me in this Journey of PRAYER, LOVE & HOPE...
