What the Block Center Patients Have to Say

In September of 2007, I received a call that I did not want to receive.   My breast cancer had returned.  A growth was found in my liver along with a small growth in a lymph node near the original site of my breast cancer. I was also HER2 positive which is a more aggressive type of breast cancer.  My diagnosis officially made me a Stage IV cancer patient.  I knew the full meaning of that diagnosis and set about my course to finding superior treatment.  I was sure about one thing.  I would do whatever it took to heal and rid my body of disease.  I rejected the limitations of conventional medicine along with its statistics and classification systems.  It was necessary to think “outside the box” to regain my life.  I knew I must find individualized and personal care.  The Block Center provides a whole body approach along with chemotherapy.  Cancer is a complex disease and it requires a complex approach. 
 
I am forever grateful to the founders of the Block Center for creating a place of healing. This is also a place of hope and teaching.  Hope is expressed daily by caregivers.  I was surrounded with positive words and encouraged to make significant life changes. Words and attitudes can be incredibly powerful and I know they were instrumental in my healing.  I cannot give enough praise to the staff.  It is obvious they are hand-picked and the cream of the crop in their fields. Under the care of the Block Center, I stayed healthy during 6 months of chemo treatments and did not experience any sickness or tiredness whatsoever. Uniquely, chemo is given only after nutrition is administered.  I flourished during what was described as a difficult chemo regimen.   I was able to maintain a rigorous schedule as a business owner.  
 
I have learned to make my body inhospitable to cancer.  In March of 2008, just after my 46th birthday, there was no sign of cancer in my body.  I will continue to study and work with the gifted Block Team to remain cancer free.  Cancer can be reversed. 
 
Finally, I thank God for all, including the Block Center.
