You're there for him. I'm there for you." - God. This is more than just a statement. It's a promise. A covenant that God made to me one night in a dream that awakened my spirit with hope for the future and an unexplainable drive to tell our story to the world.
This book is my personal testimony about how my faith and nutrition knowledge kept my husband, Gary, from experiencing many of the side effects of chemotherapy (chemo) and radiation after he was diagnosed with Stage 4 throat cancer.
The documented journey is my way of connecting with others who may be looking for someone that has gone through a similar experience. And, trust me, I personally know how it feels to want to seek out answers for what a loved one is about to go through.
In fact, everyone who's had someone they love diagnosed with cancer knows the anxiety surrounding the verdict. The news is life shattering. Your body goes into shock and a full-blown denial, you don't want to believe it's happening.
Just hearing the word 'cancer' turns your world upside down. In an instant, your future feels hopeless.
For me, the thought of losing the love of my life to a senseless disease, quickly took over my mind. I became obsessed with the thought that my life was slipping away right in front of my eyes and there wasn't anything I could do to stop it but my faith was bigger. And it was my faith that saw me through the uncertainty.
