Good morning!  Today is my last day in Mexico! I'm sitting at the airport now! 

I just want to take this day to thank God for this wonderful time of healing here! I want to thank you all for your prayers and your support to get me here! It has been an awesome time of healing!! 

I have a long road in front of me but I see gods hand in this in so many ways! 

My last scans showed great improvement in my bloodwork, inflammation was way down etc! Some positive changes in the other spots as well! My Dr here was very positive about my progress. I will be coming back for more test in a few months and I have a lot of therapy to continue at home! I'm a little intimidated about that, here the nurses telling you it's time to go to the therapy rooms,  the therapists tell you its time to go to the IV room. We were well taken care of! Now we go home and have to do all the therapy and live our life as well! We have alot of support via the phone for questions with Dr's,  etc and i also know i have a lot of support from Tim and the girls as well!!

Again I just want to say thank you for helping me get here! 

If you know of anyone who is dealing with cancer,  has a loved one who is, or just wants to get healthy,  I highly recommend Dr. Tony's book, Hope for Cancer. There is some very valuable information in it. You also can clearly see his heart for Jesus!

Almost time to board! I  love you all and will see you soon!

In our morning worship time,  after our song and prayer we circle up and hold hands. We say "Thank you God for another beautiful day,  Thank you God  for loving us, Thank you God for healing us. We then raise our hands together and say WE ARE HEALED! !Estomus Sanos!

See you soon!❤️

Today I'm sharing about my Near Infrared Lamp Therapy. (While under the red light therapy I am also getting oxygen therapy  and b17!

 Focused Near Infra-red Lamps use light wavelengths to aid in detoxification, deep tissue healing, and pain/inflammation relief. These wavelengths penetrate tissues without emitting dangerous electromagnetic radiation. Near Infra-red wavelengths have been indicated to destabilize cancer cells. When used alongside Photo Dynamic Therapy, Near Infra-red Lamps can also trigger SP-Activate, potentially aiding the process of cancer cell destruction.

We receive benefits such as...

• Enhanced blood circulation

• Cellular generation

• Increased white blood cell count

• Temporary relief from muscular pain and spasms

• Healed joint aches and stiffness

• Stimulated DNA and protein synthesis in cells

• Penetrating warmth and a feeling of comfort

Tomorrow will be my last day of therapy at the treatment center. I will share more tomorrow!

Again, thank you for your prayers and support.  Please share my campaign.  I welcome prayers and support from those who are led to give! I also want to bring awareness to our other options for cancer treatment!

Thank you!❤️

I had a scan today, one prayer answered...he could not find a kidney stone!! As far as I know I didn't pass it! It just disappeared! Thank you for praying!! I will find out how everything else looks in a few days.

This is my last week. Just three more days of treatments here then lots more at home. I am a bit overwhelmed at what I need to do at home however I am still confident in these treatments and more so in our great physician! God is good!

Again, I just thank you all so much for your prayers and for helping us in so many ways to make this possible! Please keep praying and sharing my story!

I love y'all!!

Happy Easter friends! He has risen!!

I was able to watch my church on YouTube this morning! So thankful for that! I'm missing home, family and friends but I am so thankful and grateful to Hope4Cancer! God has confirmed my decision over and over! Without your prayers and support I wouldn't be here. THANK YOU!!

I know that God is our great physician and he is healing me and guiding me. The cost of this treatment is more than we can manage on our own. Please prayerfully consider helping with the cost. It is very difficult to ask for help but each gift is a blessing, no matter the size.

Please also share my story!We need options in the United States! Insurance pays for chemo, it should pay for holistic care as well! People are being healed every day! For over 25 years Hope4Cancer has treated people with all stages of cancer. They treat the symptoms and help to reveal the root cause of the disease.  They treat your body, soul and spirit!  It is a very special place!

Thank you so much for your support!  The encouraging text, calls, prayers, songs, financial support and loving on my sweet family while I'm away has been wonderful!

I LOVE YOU!❤️

Hi friends!

I hope this finds everyone well! I'm sorry I haven't posted in a few days! I had a few people text me because they were worried something was wrong! I'm good! My schedule pretty much stays the same everyday. I go downstairs to the lobby and wait for our driver who drops us off at the treatment center.  We start with an awesome short worship time where we sing a song or two, join hands in a circle and share something if you want. Someone from the group prays and then we say a closing statement together ending with "WE ARE HEALED!" There are people here from all over the world! Then we go to our treatment rooms. We start at the IV therapy,  (lately my veins have been giving them a fit)! I get vitamin c, and b17,  I also get something called PDT+ (Photo Dynamic Therapy plus). This is a state of the art medical low laser technology that delivers specific color laser beams intravenously! It destroys tumors and circulating cancer cells! It also is great for your immune system! Pretty amazing!

Thank you for praying about the "stones"! So far so good! No pain, no symptoms! Please keep praying!!

My knee is healing slow but sure. I took a pretty deep gash out of it! The hyperbaric oxygen chamber is helping a lot! Great for wounds!!

I am learning a lot! They treat your entire being here. Emotional,  spiritual,  and physical! I have met with a nutritionist who is great and another Dr who is teaching me about how our emotional well being affects our physical well being! Pretty cool!!

This is alot of info for y'all today!

Thank you again for your support and your prayers! 

❤️

Good morning  friends! Today is Palm Sunday! Most exciting news today.  We led a wonderful man to Christ! He saw something different about many of us and recognized he wanted it! He will be baptized this morning! I am so happy for him! Please keep Ernest in your prayers! This is easy here but he will face a lot of opposition when he gets home!

Prayer request for me...I had a visit with my Dr here yesterday and with Dr Tony.  (What an honor to sit down with him!) They found a kidney stone traveling down...I have not felt it. Please pray it breaks up on its own and desolves! They also found a few gall stones!  Pray for them to go away as well!! Otherwise everything looked good! They were very happy about my blood work etc!

It has been great having time with Tim for a few days. He will travel back home tomorrow.  Please pray for safe travels!

Love y'all!  Thank you for your prayers!❤️

14 treatments today! 

Began the day with another beautiful spirit filled worship time!

Dr Tony  (the founder and CEO) of hope4cancer did a 2 hour long question and answer session yesterday.  He is a brilliant,  godly man. I am learning so much!!

Below is a picture of me getting IV  therapy.  Vitamin C and vitamin B17. Cancer does not like either one of these!

Thank you for your prayers and support on this journey!

I love you and miss y'all!❤️

Another peace covered day! 13 treatments! Awesome breakfast and lunch!!

I'm being very vulnerable showing these pictures...if you know me, you know that I  don't like to post about myself and definitely don't like to post pictures of myself! The  picture is me doing EMF...I am sitting in my IV chair with two large black boxes on my midsection. (There is no need to come to treatments with your hair fixed or makeup on! When you spend 45 minutes in a pizza oven baking to 105 degrees you are kinda melted!!!) EMF is Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy. It is a non-invasive treatment that uses electromagnetic fields to stimulate and promote natural healing processes within the body, aiding in pain relief, tissue repair, and overall well-being. This is used to detect and repair areas of cellular imbalance and inflammation! 

Thank you for keeping me in your prayers!

God bless you!❤️

Well, I have written 4 updates today. One is on my computer which now refuses to turn on.  Three are on my phone, I tried to add a picture or check the name of a treatment and lost everything! One more try!

Saturday started with praise and worship time.  The song was "Firm Foundation ", when we sang the verse "I've got peace that makes no sense " I lost it! For the past year I have had this unbelievable peace. That verse said it perfectly! God is truly in this place and I am honored to be part of it! After 11 treatments, two new friends and I went to supper.  On the way home I stepped in a huge pothole.  I fell hard and I messed up my knee pretty bad. On Sunday I called our on call doc and sent her a picture.  She advised me to go to the hospital ER. I couldn't get stitches,  (to late and to jagged). They cleaned me up really good and gave me antiseptic and antibiotics. Please pray that infection doesn't set in, it's a pretty deep hole in my knee. 

Monday, another beautiful worship service then 14 different treatments!  I will try to share a particular treatment each day. Hyperthermia...we call it the pizza oven! It raises your core temperature.  Mine got up to almost 103' !

I'm meeting wonderful people and hearing some amazing stories! This is where God wants me to be and I am honored to be here! Thank you for your support and especially your prayers! ❤️

Picture test...day 1

Airport - on my way!

Gods blessings with a beautiful sunrise!

View from my hotel room!

Cancun! The water is gorgeous!!

Hi friends! I am here! I had a great trip and it is beautiful here! I am trying to upload pictures but I am to tired to figure it out! I start my test in the morning! Thanks for your prayers!

Well, I'm getting packed and ready to go! A dear friend asked me a little bit ago if I still have the peace I needed for the journey? Absolutely! Gods got this! Y'all are keeping me lifted up in prayer! Thank you so much! Thank you for your prayers and for your financial support! It is very expensive but I'm trusting that God will provide! 

I'm looking forward to doing the treatments that I have read about! I'm looking forward to rest...after my treatments you will find me lounging by the pool!! I'm looking forward to see how God is going to use this and use me for His good and His glory!! 

Please continue praying for me! Again thank you! Many of you I don't know or it reads anonymous and I don't know who to thank! Please know I am so grateful for your love!

I have my plane ticket! I leave one week from today! April 3rd! I was cleared for the treatment center in Cancun. The center in Tijuana is in-patient and more like a hospital setting. Geared for "sicker" people. Not as able bodied and mobile. 

This is all happening really fast! So much to do to leave the country for three weeks! I just don't have the words to express how grateful I am to all of you for your support through a donation, prayers or both! I truly feel covered in prayer! I cant explain the amazing peace I have other than "Its a God thing!!" He is so good!  

Another God thing...our phone plan covers Mexico! So...stay in touch!

In April of 2024, I went to my endoscopy/colonoscopy appointment. Shortly after I woke up the Dr came in and said “Endoscopy looks good, on the colonoscopy we saw a few polyps, saw a mass, looks like cancer!” And that was that! Tim and I had no clue that I might hear that! We came home in shock! They hadn’t even sent anything to pathology yet! Things moved quickly after that. Next thing I knew I was scheduled for surgery for a colectomy in May. Meanwhile, I started doing a lot of studying and research.

May 7th I had my surgery. Everything went well. They took out the mass and 20 lymph nodes. Recovery went great. Shortly after my surgery, I did a zoom class on gut health. It was excellent. I learned so much. At the end of the class the Dr. ran out of time for questions but offered his email. I sent him a long email with lots of questions. He messaged me back and then we played phone tag for a few weeks.

In June we had an appointment with the oncologist. Tim and I went with plans to not do chemo. The Dr literally scared us into it. I told him I would sign the papers as long as the second before they stuck a needle in my arm I could say no. The nurse ran in with a pile of papers and said “we need to sign these quickly, I have an emergency in the other room with a lady who is having an allergic reaction to chemo”. I said “Go, take care of her! I will come back and sign the papers!” (Strike 1) We talked to the Dr. a few more minutes and I took Tim home and came back. (We only live about 5 minutes from that office.) The nurse called me back, I asked her why the Dr. told me I couldn’t take care of my grandkids while on chemo…she said ”You can!”. She had another question for the DR and texted him, he came and stuck his head in the door. Nurse said “Why can’t she take care of her grandkids?” DR. “Because she will excrete chemo from her pores.” Nurse “It’s not that kind of chemo”. WHAT…which one is correct? (STRIKE 2)

I left her office and went to my car and cried. From the day I was told I had cancer God has given me an amazing peace. This day I was so upset and uneasy, I felt like I could throw up. My dear friend called and asked how it went. I told her…she said “Vicki for all these years you have been teaching people to not put toxins in their bodies, you have been using pure oils and supplements and doing healthy things. It’s no wonder you are having such a hard time with this!” That made sense!! So true! A few days later I canceled my chemo appointment!

In June I went to my follow up appointment with the surgeon. He came in and thought I was someone else, then once he figured out who I was he said “you were supposed to come 3 weeks after your surgery, not 6 weeks.” I told him I came when they scheduled me! He then asked me when I was starting chemo. I told him “I’m not!” He said “GD I did a good job on your surgery. Your not doing chemo is like me building a house, fixing it up all beautiful then setting fire to it!” (STRIKE 3…You’re done!)

Meanwhile after a lot of research I found a treatment center outside of Atlanta. I called them and was seriously looking into their integrative treatments, not exactly what I wanted but better than what I could get here. It was going to cost $10.000.00 for the first three days of testing. Then I would have to figure out how I would get back and forth and how were we going to pay for it? I found out they offered a grant. I applied. A few days later I was turned down for the grant. (They wanted me to change ins., doing so midyear the insurance would have gone super high and I would have to meet all the deductibles again! So…door closed!

A few days later the Dr. who did the zoom class called me. I explained what was going on and that I couldn’t do chemo. He offered to help me! I asked how much and he replied “No charge! Just get better!” God opened the window! I then found a hyperbaric oxygen chamber in Winston, and

an infrared sauna in Clemmons (both used to treat cancer outside the US). Then I found a business that does high dose Vitamin C infusions. The Dr. there just happened to be a cardiologist and could monitor me and help with ivermectin and other medicines that help with cancer. All of these were blessings from God! My journey to healing was beginning!

I was doing all the above plus my doTERRA oils and supplements. I have not been sick or felt bad. We had been monitoring my blood work which was coming back great, and getting periodic scans. I don’t like to do the scans or the MRIs because of the heavy metals and the toxins it puts in your body but I had to just to know what was going on!

In December I had a scan and they found a spot on my liver. I increased what I was doing with Vitamin C, etc and still felt great. March 7th 2025, I had another MRI. I had asked a Dr. friend (who could sign into my chart – with my permission) to call me with results. He called me that night. Tim and I were going out to eat and I called him back when Tim got in the shower. All I heard was “It’s gotten a little worse, the spot on your liver has grown.” I didn’t hear much more! I really had expected it to come back with great results! The next day Saturday, I had planned a trip to Georgia to visit my college roommate for a long weekend so I elected not to tell Tim yet. I didn’t want him to think about it all weekend. The timing actually ended up being a blessing! I left the next morning for Georgia. I had a long weekend to think, and a long drive to pray and digest everything. I did call a nutritionist who has become a dear friend, and has helped me with so much. (She had cancer several years ago and her brother currently has colon cancer) I told her what the MRI results were. She said have you thought about going to Mexico for treatment? I told her I had looked into it last year but God had closed that door. Over the weekend I thought about everything and prayed a lot. I didn’t even tell Debby that weekend about the results as I needed to tell Tim and the girls first. I called Hope4Cancer on my way home and got more information about them. When I was talking to them she asked my name and said “I talked to you last year! You mentioned then you did not have an updated passport! I said “Oh my gosh! I still don’t!” I told Tim that night after dinner that I had seen the results. We told our daughters the next night. On Thursday I called Ted Buds office to see if they could help with my passport. She sent me paperwork and Tim and I went to the passport office Friday morning! Over the weekend we got an email stating that our passports should be here in 2 to 3 weeks. We got them on Tuesday March 18th, my birthday!! God opened another door! When we told the girls what was going on I mentioned that I wanted to go to Mexico but was really concerned about the price. A few days later my daughter sent out a fundraising campaign to ease my worrying! A few days later my son in laws cousin (whom I have never met called and wanted to do a raffle to raise donations! God is providing the way!

I do not regret this last year and all I have done! God has me on this path for a reason! I have never questioned him or asked why! I am thankful for each day and I am so grateful that I have not felt bad! My prayer is that God will heal me and I will be here to watch my grandchildren grow up but if God calls me home I know where I’m going! I have a place reserved in heaven!

Now, I have caught you up…my intention for this journal is to take you with me on this journey, to share prayer request and praises! I will show you Mexico and share my experience at the treatment center!

I guess I should have started this journal first as I had quite a few people call me or text me about this post! Some of you had not heard about my diagnosis! I am not one to share much personal information but I'm putting it out there now as I covet your prayers! My intent is to bring you with me on this healing journey, share prayer request and praises and show pictures to keep all informed! 

I am going to start several years ago with my path to wellness and catch you all up! Over 12 years ago a dear friend (who is also an RN) shared essential oils with me. As I began using them I realized that God gives us what we need to heal our body! I found that oils and natural supplements enabled me to stop taking chemicals for allergies, sinus infections, pain, sleep etc. I love my oils and supplements and know that is why I am as healthy as I am now!!

Jump forward to April 2023. I had a terrible cough. I had been treating it myself (with oils) and was much better but at the last minute went to urgent care to make sure I wasn't contagious, because I was on my way to spend the weekend with 3 of my college suitemates. The Dr put me on a medicine that caused me to not be able to breath. I suffered through the weekend and went back on Monday morning. He told me I probably had an allergic reaction to those pills, stop taking them. As I was leaving I casually mentioned my Fitbit  said I was having irregular heartbeat issues. (I thought something was wrong with my Fitbit as I had no symptoms!) Long story short the Doc made me go straight to the hospital after the EKG. Come to find out I had AFib. Over the course of the year I had a few cardioversions, a cardiac ablation, etc. I was doing great until the end of 2023 when I was so weak I was exhausted going up our stairs or walking from my car to a store. They thought it was because of the meds for Afib and adjusted them but it continued. They finally sent me for blood work and stool sample and found out there was a small amount of blood in my stool. They wanted me to have a colonoscopy and an endoscopy. It took from early January to April 2024 to get an appointment for both!!!

To be continued!!
