Nows the time for Guts and God

After the initial shock of my mom's diagnosis I decided that I wasn't a quitter and my mom wasn't a quitter. We were gonna fight. Saturday, I took my mom to the East West bookstore and we found books on curing cancer using alternative medications. Some may laugh, but at this point I don't care. I don't care if my mom has to drink urine, go to brazil, sit in rainforest with a shaman as she smokes a blunt and he rubs mud all over her face if it helps her and doesnt poison her like radiation or chemo than what do we really have to lose?

Cancer is big business in U.S but in other countries, those that are'nt run by pharmaceutical companies, there is hope. There are alternative treatments that use herbs and diets to cure.

My mom has decided to trust God and go the alternative route. Again, I am in awe of this woman. It takes so much courage to have faith and take the road less traveled. For a while after my mom received her prognosis I kept thinking, "why her?, why her?" and suddenly it hit me. "Why not her?"...Maybe God gave her this disease because she is so strong and so courageous. Maybe God gave her a gift, to show us all what faith can do. I know now my mom will be ok. I know this because she is strong and their is hope. If anyone can come back and beat this it's my mama bear:)
