In March or so 2020, Carol Bechtel, wife of local business owner, Merlin Bechtel, started losing weight and not taking in food properly.... She eventually lost about 35lb and couldn't keep much food down..she is still down near 97lb.
The beginning of Sept 2021 found her very weak as she almost died from losing too much blood.. We finally took her to the er... Blockage at the stomach outlet was found... It was an ulcer and lots of scar tissue...She was given 4 pints of blood over 30hrs. In a few days she was finally operated on.... It went well... After 10days in hospital she came home.
She was home three weeks then started a fever and a high heart rate. So back to the er we went.. She spent 3 or 4 more days in hospital.
During the ulcer operation they found an enlarged kidney and some fluid? nearby which they tested. Few days later and after more testing we were told she has estrogen positive breast cancer.
Our brotherhood aid CHM, that we are members of, will cover most the hospital bills but not any alternative health routes and some other bills. We will soon be maxed out at total expense reimbursement permitted....
Beings the medical field has no method for curing cancer, and it's so corrupt, we have decided to try several alternatives.... One of course being a change of diet. Another that we recently started is high dose vitamin C IV..... We travel to Metairie LA once or twice a week for this. These iv's run about $290 ea. (We stopped the high dose C IVs summer of 2022) But still do an immune boost w/ C IV now and then, which we can now get in Hattiesburg...
Please pray for healing of Carols body... And wisdom in the decisions we have to make. Also we wish to thank our children, and other relatives that have helped out...
Any consideration and prayers appreciated. Even 5 or 10 bucks helps along on the healing journey.....
Please request our sons email address if you would like to verify any of this.
We have now purchased an electric adjustable bed for Carol...
