Fighting pancreatic cancer until the battle is won. Healing. Wholeness.
Becoming a pancreatic cancer survivor, living life glorious beyond cancer's grip...
We have shared many stories along the way... and laughed and cried... and celebrated those stories... today there is another...
And it is a good story. With abundant thanksgiving for a good God. And healing from the terrifying diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
Please meet Kathryn Hahn.
She writes and inspires at her blog Kay's Hope For Cancer.
And her story began like so many with pancreatic cancer. Fear, despair, and debilitating treatments. 7 types of chemotherapy that first year... and still she worsened.
Until a friend set her on a path to alternative healing...
She shares a general rundown on her protocol of healing cancer naturally on her blog, with updates here... here is just a little sample:
"I am using the Gerson Therapy. I have done a lot of research and talked to people who have healed using this protocol and I completely believe in it. This means following the above steps, with eating a certain way, and 10-13 specific vegetable juices a day and 3-4 coffee enemas. Drinking this many vegetable juices a day, which is about 7-8 pounds of carrots a day along with all of the green vegetables, floods your system with a ton of good enzymes and nutrients. This will push all the bad toxins into blood stream. The coffee enemas cleanse the toxins out and detox's the liver. www.gerson.com
My green juice consists of:
Organic.
Dark green lettuces – ¼ to ½ of a head (depending on the size of the lettuce): red and green leaf lettuces, romaine, endives. Iceberg is useless and do not use Escarole – 2 or 3 leaves Beet tops (young inner leaves) – 2 to 3 leaves Watercress – 5 or 6 leaves Red cabbage – 2 or 3 leaves Green bell pepper – ¼ Swiss chard – little Green apple – 1

Then I drink 2 plain 8 oz carrot juices a day and 3-5 carrot/apple juices"
Kathryn also discusses the essential supplements, including Essiac Tea as well as the Budwig formula that she includes in her healing regimen...
Read her blog. Research, research, research. Talk with your loved ones, talk with your medical team... If Chemotherapy and Radiation are not working for you, perhaps her story will be an encouragement.
This, of course, is not a promise of healing or a cure. How we wish it were so. But it is the story of one woman's journey through pancreatic cancer and her choices to use alternative treatments and natural therapies.
We could never replace your doctor or medical team. These are decisions that only you can make.
Just another option. An option that perhaps we need to explore.
Mom's doctor gave her 3 to 6 months, even with the best known cancer treatment he had available. I wonder, so many times I wonder, would she still be here with us now if we had explored this option and given it our serious attention...
Our journey presses on. Praying for the healing we long for... each one...
May Grace light the way, Always,
Jane
