I don't know if I ever mentioned this before, but my family has a history of cancer. A LOT of cancer and seems to start at every young ages such as 30s and 40s. It consist of just about every kind you can think of. Recently, my aunt went and got genetic counseling done and found that she carried a gene for breast and reproductive cancers. One of her 2 daughters got tested also. One daughter tested positive while the other tested negative. Now, of course, my mother wants my sister and I to go. I haven't talked to my sister, who btw has already had breast cancer. Wait, maybe she doesn't even have to go because she already had it. Anyway, I am a little leery about getting tested. If I don't have the gene it also means that my daughter is free and clear, but if I do have it then the saga continues. I have decided that I'm not going to have cancer because I'm tired of seeing what it does to people. My cousin is dying from it as I type. I'm full of regret, but it doesn't matter now I guess. The best I can do it glean from what she told me and move forward.
I feel more pressure than ever to dive into a vegan life style and eventually move toward raw. The problem is simple. I am petrified of what I see going on around me in my family. What do strong emotions do? They make me what to eat!!! Eat what? Starch.
I just needed to vent. I don't need any answers, not that anybody reads this. lol I have to find a way to preventatively heal myself and my family.

people do read this.... i read this.... and depending what kind of cancer runs in your family maybe you can pick up some tips from Supreme and Mecca as Mecca was just diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast cancer stage II. I know you are on a FB break but he has been posting pics and info with herbs and raw recipes that are specifically targeting different parts of her TNBC. just wanted to shine a little light for you. You know that means they will have a book in about 2 months on how they beat cancer's ass by going raw lol. but really though I do feel your pain cancer runs stong in my family I've only had to see it affect one person though and she took it like a champ and from the time she found out lived life doing every and anything that popped in her mind. She was even content in her last days and decided herself when she would let go of this earth. Said she would wait till she turned 50 and 5 mins into her 50th bday she looked at her sister and sd "50 is a good age right?" her sister sd right and they both smiled she closed her eyes and was at peace.... <3 u much sis!! keep your head up. and if you dont feel like getting tested dont do it. ;)
ReplyDeleteYea, I heard about Mecca. We've been sending her blueberries whenever possible because Imma need them to crank that book out so I can change my future and the future of my family. Two days after I wrote this my cousin died. She'd had breast cancer with no insurance so it went on forever before she got a double mastectomy. Later she got a preventative hysterectomy, but it still came back in her liver and later her bones. She was only 45. I have to turn this thing around because it feels as though my life and the lives of my children depend on it. I really believe that for the most part this stuff is dietary and environmental. Can't change my environment but so much, but I can control what goes in my mouth and my family's mouth. Love you too.
