Yes, bodies can heal but also bodies can die. So to all of those people who think they can cure cancer with teas or greens, you need to get treatment. A lot of people are alive today because they did the traditional treatments. There are also a lot of diseases which never heal and our bodies are wonderful machines but sometimes, they need help.

What was the stage ..of tumor

[@serpserpserp]

I scoured her instagram and could only find mention of stage 3. Although I don't know if that was the first diagnosis since she had three total bouts of cancer in the end. From the sounds of it early on, it would be a classic stage 2 presentation as no lymph nodes were involved. But if anyone can correct me please let me know.

She passed away in january 2022.
