Forward to April 2025. Shelly found multiple enlarged lymph nodes in her neck. Ct Scans also found multiple enlarged lymph nodes in the chest cavity. Biopsy of a lymph node and PET scans showed stage 2A Hodgkin Lymphoma. She caught her cancer early although it’s aggressive. An aggressive treatment offers 91% chance of remission…IF she takes chemo/immunotherapy, then possibly radiation. In addition to oncology medicine, there are many alternatives, remedies, supplements, regimens, ocean swims, foods, etc that help to kill cancer while strengthening the body’s natural defenses. Especially to overcome the horrible side effects of chemo. Insurance doesn’t pay for any of this type of alternative healing medicine. Shelly has been dealing with Fibromyalgia for many years. That pain on top of chemo pain has been hard to take. Pain management has become key to successful treatment plan. Shelly cannot work or drive. Healthy food is key to healing. If you can and want to donate, Shelly can get what she needs at her favorite Natural Food Grocery Co-op, health food store, grocery store, or online. Hyperbaric oxygen chamber and red light therapy are suggested and available in Fort Wayne. Please consider donating to help Shelly heal and thrive!
