My battle with cancer of the Uterus and Lungs

From 1991 until 1994 I was trying to get pregant. I keep having miscarriages and in 1992 I was diagnosed with endometrious. After surgery in 1993-1994 I started taking a fertitity drug called Clomid. I had fibroids and the Clomid caused the fibrods to turn into massive tumors. My doctor did not tell me that a Fertility Drug could cause cancer and I took the Drug with my husband's and doctors approval. In september 1995 I was diagnoised with Uterine Cancer. I had 38 treatments of radiation but I rejected taking Chemo. I was cancer free from 1995 until 2002. Where the cancer metastised in my lungs. Two small nogles in my lungs and I had lung surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville Flordia. I did well and now a small nogle has reapperaed again in my lungs and in my skull. So far I am doing just fine. One of the best thing that has happen to me is my faith. I know that God can heal me if that is His choice but even if He doesn't I am OK. I found that suvivoral depends on taking your medication and staying positive. Knowing what is happing to you and taking control of you health. There is a tea that I found that has helped me very much and I have found several natural products that has helped me to keep up with my busy life. I do not mind sharing them with anyone who wants to know. I also make a product to regow my hair. I lost all my hair and of course you know how tramatic it can be especially for a Pastor Wife. Did I tell you that. Being before people and still having to maintain you dignity. The reality is this cancer is not a death sentence and can prove to be a great blessing. For sure it makes you appreciate the simple and appreciate everyday above ground. However, your thoughts should be under control and your laughter should be hearty. You have cancer but cancer does not have you. Know yourself and what's going on with you. Pay attention to everything that concerns you. Early detection is necessary. Stay away from negetive people and look for the positive in your life. And don't for get to share the good things God has done for you He want's the glory out of your live. I will be happy to share any information that have proven to be helpful to me. You may call me at 478 935 2948. Have a wonderful and blessed day and may God richly bless you as you take on your Goliath. Sincerely, Evelyn Reid Lizella, GA
