    Stable bloods during treatment isn't uncommon. It has nothing to do with diet. I say this because it's important that newly diagnosed people don't think diet has more power than it does.

    Did anyone here who had/has cancer have any body stressors anytime before your diagnosis, like mental stress or grief, over working, over exercising, or an unhealthy diet? I've been doing lots of research and found that most people who had cancer had some type of stressor beforehand. Some body stressors may not feel like stress. For example, running marathons makes people feel good, but it's actually stressing the body. Anything that over stresses the body causes systemic inflammation and cell malfunction and lowers the immune system so it cant repair damage thats happening.
  • The prayer of faith will heal the sick. JESUS CHRIST himself took our infirmities and bore all our sicknesses. With His stripes we are healed.He is the LORD GOD our HEALER. What soever we ask in the name of JESUS CHRIST with faith we will receive it. Every thing is possible with God. He heals all our diseases. Believe on the LORD JESUS CHRIST and you will be saved you and your family.

    Being “feisty” doesn’t make people live after cancer. Being positive doesn’t affect the cancer. Being anything doesn’t affect the progress of a cancer. Feisty people also die of their cancer. It’s annoying and misleading to hear that kind of thing.
