Back in 1999 I remember getting ready to go to work and becoming aware of a strange feeling in my lower right back, near the top of my waist. Although I gave this feeling scant attention at the time, it was the genesis of my personal story, the foundation that lead me to create an anti-cancer battle plan!

After that and continuing for a number of years, the strange sensation gave way to pain. I visited hospitals and doctors repeatedly only to be told it was a pinched nerve or a kidney stone.

The above scenario went on for many years, it was always one thing or the other. Then, in 2010, I received a quadruple bypass and that's when things changed. During my recovery I started listening to some kind of wheezing sound, a multiple chirping cacophony coming from my lungs. I asked many of my doctors what it was, but nobody knew!

Mind you, this was about 11 years from the time I became initially aware of the strange feeling in the middle of my right side. The years went by and I just simply accepted that I would have to go on living with the strange noises coming from my lungs. Little did I know this was nothing but the prelude to the most life-changing news I would ever receive.

Moving forward to the year 2018, when my doctor wanted me to take some lab tests and the results came back with the finding that I was passing blood in my urine. At this point my doctors wanted me to take some more invasive tests, to include a biopsy of the liver.

The results from the biopsy were shocking! Not only did I have cancer of the liver, but upon further tests it was discovered that the cancer had also spread (AKA: metastasized) to my lungs!

The night after receiving my diagnosis I was in a very dark mood. I had trouble accepting the overwhelming immensity of my situation, as if I'd been dropped into the bottomless pit of hell. However, upon waking up the next morning, I realized that I was still involved in the struggle for life, it's just that now it had a different name: THE BIG C, CANCER!

Yet and still, all the strange things that had happened to me in the almost twenty years since my attention was drawn to the weird feeling on my right lower back, the strange sounds coming from my lungs, etc. were answered in an epiphany, a flood of insight so magnificent that it gave me the tools to develop an anti-cancer battle plan.

I will close this chapter at this point but look on the right sidebar for more info in detail about the components of my anti-cancer battle plan.
