Cancer - A Short Story

In October 2006, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer.  I had two lumpectomies, went through chemotherapy, herceptin, radiation and I had a partial hysterectomy.  When I finished chemo, I restarted Shaklee's Nutriferon, Vita-Lea, Osteomatrix, and Sustained Release Vita-C.  PLUS six months prior to my last check up I started on VIVIX.  My physician, who is the head surgical oncologist in the breast department at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida, said my blood work and exam were excellent!  I asked if they were any closer to a cure for breast cancer.  The doctor said "No", but that a substance has been found to treat the individualized expression of breast cancer, for non hormonal breast cancer.  They feel it will prevent the re-occurrence of breast cancer and prostate cancer.  Moffitt has just put in for a one-million dollar grant for a clinical trial of this substanc.

When I asked "What is the substance?", the doctor said it was RESVERATROL.

I said I had been taking Shaklee's VIVIX (Resveratrol) for six months.  The doctor looked surprised, and said "You're the first person that we have ever seen that had such great results with Resveratrol.  I will request for you to be a patient advocate during the testing."

If the grant is approved I would be thrilled that I will be helping the Susan B. Komen Foundation in this study.  Taking Vivix, NutriFeron and other supplements takes the edge off my cancer fears, knowing that they may prevent the re-occurrence of cancer.

On a more personal note...

On December 19, 2002, Shawn (my husband) was diagnosed with Stage 3 Testicular Cancer while on the operating table for routine surgery.  Upon waking up from surgery to find out the devastating news, Shawn's reply was "Things happen, what's next?".  This optimistic, never give up attitude along with chemotherapy and a combination of Shaklee products gave Shawn a second chance at life.  Shaklee products also gave him the opportunity to bring a child into the world in September of 2010 after being given a 0% chance of ever having children.  During chemo Shawn took Shaklee's Vitalizer and Nutriferon.  Shawn now takes both of these supplements, OmegaGuard, and Vivix.
