The purpose of my blog is to help others afflicted with cancer. I share my story and information in hopes it will help in your recovery. On November 4th of 2006, at the age of 48, I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. An attempt was made to remove the tumor surgically, but could not be done. I've had a few setbacks, but I'm still keeping a positive attitude. Giving up is not an option.
Anticancer by David Servan-Schreiber, MD, PhD. A fresh look at some of the same foods from "Beating Cancer With Nutrition". Even though I have not read much of it yet, I have heard so many good things about it from members of our support group. Here is a link to the authors web site: http://www.anticancerbook.com/ .
Beating Cancer With Nutrition by Patrick Quillin
This book is my “Nutritional Bible”. For the most part this book is easy enough to use and understand. Some areas are a little confusing for me, but I highly recommend it.
- Nutritional Guide as to what is essential to eat.
- Recipes
- Scientific Information
- Many Charts
- Uplifting Stories.
Qigong (beginning pracitce) DVD with Francesco & Daisy Lee-Garripoli.
This is 'slow moving' excercise along with deep breathing. It helps to boost immunity and is very relaxing and energizing at the same time. I try to practice it 3 to 4 times weekly. This was recommended by the Providence Cancer Center Integrative Medicine Clinic.
When Your World Falls Apart by David Jeremiah
Real life stories from Pastor Jeremiah. Mixed nicely with words of wisdom and encouragement from several Psalms. I loved reading this, I couldn't put it down.
Pray Big by Will Davis Jr.
This book teaches you how to pray with power and purpose. There are also some chapters on…
- Pinpoint Praying
- Big Hairy Audacious Prayers
- Help
- Lord We Agree
- It’s Ok To Ask.
There's No Place Like Hope by Vickie Girard
I read this book in about a day. It is very uplifting, inspirational and at some points funny!

I mourn with you and rejoice with you at the same time....Susan is experiencing the fullness of her Savior! The rest of us will have to be patient until we see her again. I pray that you would feel the Lord's loving arms wrapped around you all in the days ahead. God's Peace- 'the other sue'
"For this world is not our home; we look forward to our city in heaven, which is yet to come." Hebrews 13:14
Praying for you, Walt, Rob, Karlie, that you know the Lord's peace and comfort in these days of sadness.
My thoughts about my sister-in-law, Sue:
Her family was her #1 priority in life and she was the best wife & mother in this world. She was an inspiration to all who knew her in her unwavering committment to her family. Through her remarkable children, you can see her caring personality, her creativity, her humor and her love of all of God's creatures every day.
Her laugh - I'll always hear that wonderful, sparkling laugh every time I think of her. She could always make you forget your worries with her laughter and true joy.
Her creativity - Sue's artistry and creative eye was remarkable. She saw beauty in items that others discarded and turned them into works of art. The one-of-a-kind cards she designed would have easily sold at the most exclusive stores in the world and she could have taken the proceeds for herself. Instead, she chose to use the card sale proceeds to buy books about nutrition, faith and healing to send to others with cancer. This remarkable selflessness was the hallmark of Sue's life.
Her beauty - her external beauty was obvious; but more importantly, it was her shining inner beauty that drew you to her.
Her strong will - Sue was not afraid to talk to others about her thoughts and opinions. Not many people have the confidence in themselves to do that. When she found out about her cancer diagnosis, she never wavered in her committment to fight the battle. Her determination and her message to "Fight the fight!" will never be forgotten.
Walter - your dedication to Sue has always been an inspiration to me. You were her rock and you never wavered in your strength and committment to Sue. I am honored to be your sister.
Love,
Julie
