HOPE FOR DIANE'S CANCER BATTLE

Donation protected
Diane, age 52, a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend is battling breast cancer. Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, about 1% of all breast cancer cases in the United States are inflammatory breast cancers. ... IBC tends to grow and spread quickly, with symptoms worsening within days or even hours.

In September 2017 Diane discovered a small lump, the biopsy procedure alone caused it to increase in size at a very fast rate. It grew almost overnight to 11cm. Diane's original diagnosis was Stage 3 (IBC). It was upon getting her biopsy results that bad news became even more complex, test results:  Triple Negative Breast Cancer.  Both of these cancers are more aggressive, difficult to treat, and are more likely to spread. 

During her first 5 months of chemo there was shrinkage of the mass, it went from 11cm to 7cm. After a break and reassessment, two new types of chemo were implemented. The 7cm tumor increase in size to that of a small melon; imagine a cantaloupe. This was extremely painful to deal with. It was now discovered that the tumor was chemo resistant.

Doctors now opted for a 6 week, twice a day radiation treatment plan.  Diane was able to accomplish 47/60.  Due to burns,open sores, and rashes Diane has opted to stop. Recent testing confirmed the cancer has metastasized to her lungs putting her in Stage 4.  Doctors also reported that the tumor is inoperable due to size and depth.  The cancer has spread despite all of the treatments she already went through.

Our goal to try and help her is in the following, there is a thorough test that is not well known, it is called the R.G.C.C. test. This blood test analyzes circulating tumor cells and cancer stem cells through targeted test results. Over the past nine years, more than 300 physicians worldwide have utilized the R.G.C.C. personalized cancer care analysis with their patients and have seen tremendous strides in cancer survival.  These tests are designed to assess which types of cancer treatments will be most effective for a specific person and type of cancer. The TU Profile extracts will show exactly the natural treatments that will work best for her type.

The focus and goal right now is to find a natural treatment that will heal and help give her quality of life. The sooner she can get this test, the sooner she can start treatment.  Insurance does not cover this test. It is very expensive and we all need some help in making this happen.  

I ask that you please share Diane’s story. Thank you in advance for every kind message, encouraging word, your prayers and monetary donations. They are all greatly appreciated; updates regarding her fight will continue to be sent as they come in.
