Dear Jmarie,
I recommend reading a book called "Anti Cancer" (by a doctor who got brain cancer and studied all of the ways to cure it---working with conventional medicine and natural techniques), because you can create a terrain in your body that helps your body fight cancer. Your body is like your garden...through healthy mostly organic diet, exercise, and relaxation (mind-body) connection, you can help your body to heal and thrive. Hopelessness must be weeded out! Replaced with the belief in your strength that your natural body is healing and you just have to tend the soil properly and get out of it's way.
Good luck and be well!

Check out Chinese internal energy exercises (qigong). They helped me beat four bouts of supposedly terminal bone cancer in the early nineties. Clear 14 years and still practicing!

So that's why my orchid died. I overloved it with water.
