    I was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer which is very aggressive and usually without conventional treatment 3 to 6 months to live. I have now been alive for almost two years with no chemo, radiation of surgery. This is my second bought with cancer in 28 years since I was mixing Agent Orange. I am on Gerson diet with enzymes, I use essential oils and I do not have shortness of breath or coughing. Check out Gerson 2-23-18. People do your research before you respond to conventional treatment because they will try and use fear tactics. God bless! Still here 4-15-18.

    I too active. Many marathons and always finishing top 10% of my age group. Scheduled for a lobectomy next few weeks. Anger. Why me? I took care of myself. Your own experience encouraging. Your performance is down from what once was but still accomplishing a revised goal. Doing the best we can with what we have. Thanks for the share.
