Tana's Road to Recovery From Cancer

Hi, my name is Tana and I was blindsided 1 year ago with stage 4 lung cancer. It went undetected until I went to get my rotator cuff treated for an injury where I asked the doctor to check out a pea sized knot on my collar bone where an ultrasound test found tumors in my lymph nodes all across my entire chest.  The very next day the barrage of tests began, all of which tested positive for cancer. It has traveled from my lungs, to my lymph nodes, my spine, and most recently to my brain.

The day I found out, I called a family meeting where I broke the news that I had been given 3-6 months to live.

However, my daughter's 21st birthday was in 3 days and as I had already promised her a trip to Vegas, I wasn't going to let anything stop me. The very next morning after I returned, I went immediately into surgery.  

Treatment was a nightmare. I was irradiated 15 times in as many days. I was put on 20 different pharmaceuticals went from insomnia and dizziness to vomiting blood.

I couldn't keep food or medication down, I lost 20 pounds in 2 weeks, lost vision in my eye, and ended up in the hospital for 8 straight days with blood pressure so low I couldn't even stand. I felt like death was constantly just outside the door, so I gathered my family around me to help complete my bucket list.

It finally came to a head where I was so sick my husband called hospice and we started making arrangements for the end. That's when I looked at myself in the mirror and said "I'm not getting out of bed until I convince myself I don't have cancer". I wanted to fight. I wanted to live.

I started doing things to improve my mood whatever it took. I watched videos of cute puppies and my grandbabies, I changed my entire diet, I forced myself to walk, and most importantly took a closer look at the pharmaceuticals I was taking.

We figured the pharmaceuticals were responsible for putting me in so much pain because I never felt sick before treatment began and I decided that my quality of life is more important than just extending it. So we started researching cannabis treatment. "Oregon's Finest" referred us to a cannabis specialist (in a company called "Mx Biotech") who had treated his own grandfather's brain cancer successfully. He analyzed my symptoms and found strains that targeted them directly.

After following his treatment religiously, I have experienced an actual size reduction in my brain tumors! Additionally, my quality of life has improved dramatically. I went from barely being able to stand to walking 3 miles a day, now I CRAVE food, I'm much happier than I've been in months and I can finally spend time playing with my grandbabies. The pain has been dramatically reduced and I'm finally feeling hope again.

We are here today to ask for your help to fund my trip to an actual brain cancer center in Baltimore MD where I can see a brain cancer specialist, and to be able to continue the very effective treatment that "Mx Biotech" has provided me.

The trip and treatment I need is more expensive than I can afford alone, so here I am reaching out to my community asking for you to help me beat this thing. Please donate as much or as little as you can. Every little bit helps.

Thank you for hearing my story and being part of my road to recovery.
