“And interestingly enough, I found out later, I didn’t know it at the time, but I found out later that Tamoxifen, which is widely prescribed and used, is also in scientific literature - it’s been documented to cause uterine cancer.
So, as I was thinking about this - I’m thinking, ‘You know, every single thing that they’re offering me with the exception of surgery is known to cause cancer.’
So I’m thinking to myself, ‘If I do this, there’s probably a pretty good bet that if I get through the treatment protocol, that probably after that five year mark, it wouldn’t be unlikely that I would be developing some other type of cancer because I would be exposing myself to cancer causing things.’
And so I couldn’t agree to the protocols and I just said I needed time. So I went home, and my husband and I are Christians, and I needed to spend a lot of time in prayer because that was important to me to get clarity and to feel like I had a direction. And more than that, to just have peace because like I said, it was pretty terrifying.”
