Life is a journey and living with Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer creates life reflections. This vlog describes my five year (failed) infertility journey prior to diagnosis of MBC at age 31. Although it didn’t go my way, I’m still grateful for the process.

Hello, my name is Tawanda, I just want to thank you for sharing your journey with us. I never really want to watch anyone’s journey because sometimes it’s hard and I’m still going through my own journey. I was originally diagnosed with triple negative, I had bilateral mastectomy and diep flap reconstruction,during my chemo I felt another lump under my arm that my doctor ignore thinking it was scar tissue. A month later he remembered he didn’t order my ultra sound and of course it went from there of it spreading to my lymph nodes. I did radiation which was the hardest thing ever that actually took me down and everything started to change. I had fluid on my lungs, my appetite went down I still haven’t gotten that back to what it was and now I have been going to CTCA in Atlanta for treatment..praying this treatment works and at least give me longer life because it’s no cure. I applaud you for saying you ACCEPT, I know God is a healer in every aspect of the word! I am in Baltimore so you continue to share and we are warriors ?????
DEAR SHONTE,
I HOPE YOU ARE DOING WELL. I SAW YOUR BREAST CANCER STORY ON YAHOO AND THOUGHT I WOULD WRITE, EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE IN THE MEDICAL PROFESSION. YOU SEE, A LOT OF PEOPLE FIND WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SAY HARD TO BELIEVE. BUT PEOPLE IN THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY SAY IT’S GARBAGE AND IMPOSSIBLE. I KNOW THE CURE FOR BREAST CANCER. THE PROBLEM I HAVE WITH THE WHOLE MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS IS THAT THEY ARE CONSTANTLY LOOKING FOR THE CURE, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CAUSE? IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF YOU FIND THE CAUSE FIRST, THEN THE CURE WOULD BE EASIER TO FIND. ALSO YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD THE SAYING THAT THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING. WELL IF 1000 WOMEN TRIED WHAT I AM GOING TO TELL YOU AND 1000 WOMEN GOT CURED OF BREAST CANCER THEN WHY WOULDN’T SOMEONE AT LEAST TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT I AM SAYING? AND WHY WOULD PEOPLE WITH BREAST CANCER NOT WANT TO TRY IT? DOCTORS DON’T EVEN KNOW THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN THE CANCER FROM THE LEFT TO THE RIGHT BREAST. I HAVE BEEN CALLED HORRIBLE NAMES FOR WHAT I AM ABOUT TO TELL YOU. BUT THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING. I EVEN HAD A LADY WITH BREAST CANCER TALK TO ME ONE TIME AND SHE SAID THAT SHE HAD BEEN STUDYING IT FOR YEARS. SHE WAS SO KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT IT THAT SHE WAS GOING TO SAVE HERSELF AND THE WORLD. WHEN SHE GAVE ME A CHANCE TO SPEAK, I TOLD HER THE CAUSE OF HER BREAST CANCER. SHE THEN AGREED WITH EVERYTHING THAT I SAID CAUSED IT, BUT SHE REFUSED TO BELIEVE THE CURE. IT WOULD MEAN GIVING UP ON HER DREAM OF BEING THE ONE TO SOLVE THE CURE. THE ONES WHO HAVE BEEN CURED HAVE BEEN SO GRATEFUL, BUT THE SIMPLICITY IS SO HARD FOR MANY TO EVEN LISTEN TO. I HOPE YOU EXAMINE YOUR LIFE AND TAKE TO HEART WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SAY. THE CAUSE OF BREAST CANCER IN WOMEN IS THIS:
IF A WOMAN HAS BREAST CANCER IN HER RIGHT BREAST, THEN SHE HAS UNRESOLVED ANGER, BITTERNESS, AND UNFORGIVENESS TOWARDS ANOTHER FEMALE WHO IS NOT BLOOD RELATED.
IF A WOMAN HAS BREAST CANCER IN HER LEFT BREAST, THEN SHE HAS UNRESOLVED ANGER, BITTERNESS, AND UNFORGIVENESS TOWARDS ANOTHER FEMALE WHO IS BLOOD RELATED.
IT’S THAT SIMPLE. SEARCH YOUR HEART AND DISCOVER WHO IT IS. THEN IF THEY ARE ALIVE, MAKE AMENDS. IF THEY ARE DEAD, THEN MAKE PEACE TOWARDS THEM IN YOUR HEART. THEN CONFESS TO GOD THAT YOU HAVE SINNED BY HOLDING ANGER, BITTERNESS, AND UNFORGIVENESS TOWARDS THAT PERSON AND ASK GOD TO FORGIVE YOU.
I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU AND OTHERS IN SOME WAY.
