Warriors In Battle

Warriors
In Battle.

We are Warriors
In Battle.

I see
Warriors
Fellow Warriors
Stand up to battle
To battle
Again and again
Fighting the fight
Of life.

I see
This horrific
Battle
Has claimed
Many Warriors
Good Warriors
Strong Warriors
Beaten
Broken.

I see
Warriors
Battling
Battling on
I stand with them
Battling
Battling on.

I see
Warriors
Dropping
The sword
Dropping
To their
Knees
Dropping
Falling
Fallen, beaten, weary
Struggling
To battle.

I see
Warriors
Rising, weary, determined
Determined to fight
Another day
To fight
Another battle
Again
Another battle
Again.

Warriors
In battle.

I Am A Warrior.

I Am In Battle.

Dennis,

G’Morning and Happy ThanksGiving!
We have Lots to be Thankful for!! One of which is the honor that you have bestowed upon me this morning – Much Thanks to be so acknowledged – WOOT!!

My diagnosis is infiltrating ductal carcinoma, stage 3b. I was misdiagnosed for almost one year – first as mastitis, then as a “staph infection”. The cancer is metastatic breast cancer, having spread to my bones – I have osteoblastic lesions in my pelvis, sacrum and ribs.
Ain’t life grand

Both my Parents are cancer Survivors – Mom is bi-lateral breast @ 26yrs, Dad is 2x non-hodgkin’s at 27yrs and 3yrs. They both underwent surgery and radiation, no chemo. They both tell me I have good genes for survival; we shall see!

I had 4 rounds of chemo, then said it was enough and changed my treatment to The Burzynski protocol (antineoplastin therapy). Chemo
is an archaic and barbaric method of treatment which I simply could not continue. There HAS to be a better way – my mind is open and I am out there looking for it. And – like so many others – have turned to the internet to document my journey.

Thanks Again!
