It's been a year since my surgery. I've completed my chemo and radiation and am back to work full time (I continued part time through my treatments). There is no sign that I have any cancer but I'll be getting regular mammograms and testing to make sure. Without treatment (or with natural methods which are the same as no treatment) I'd be dead by now. My cancer HER2+ was a death sentence ten years ago, but new treatments target it directly and the cure rate is approaching 90%. A vaccine is being developed which cures HER2+ with close to 100% recovery rate.

[@lindafalkner1]

No ValentinezChocolate, I am not being sarcastic. When I was first diagnosed, I was terrified of the treatments and did a lot of research. Seeing Christina's tapes helped me realize how important it was to use standard medical treatments and not to depend exclusively on natural means.

I thought I was the only one who visits this video and rewatches it. I'm glad others do the same. I feel like she had everything backwards. What she should have done was take the chemo and radiation, then after she got herself into remission; which is basically no evidence of disease, then could of done the herbs. That could have atleast prevented the cancers return after the medicine got rid of it.

I happened across this video..Such a sad ending. Cancer is a very scarey word in itself. I've lost many close family members, young and old, to different kind of cancers. I lost so many that I'm actually weary and discouraged to even think there is a possible cure, no matter the treatments, or lack of. Honestly, I wouldn't know which path to take should I be given that awful news. I feel nothing cures cancer. My uncle, at age 55 was diagnosed with colon cancer, had the surgery, chemo, the whole nine yards, and told he was cancer free. We were all so happy to watch him battle and beat cancer. Two years later it returned with a vengence and he passed at age 58. I could go on and on with the stories of cancer battles my family endured and then lost. It was draining, mentally, emotionally, and physically, to watch them all pass one by one while fighting the good fight.. So, I don't think there is a right or wrong path when trying to win the battle over cancer. I'm kinda numb to it actually. I guess I would take chemo, and the such, but I'm not positive the outcome would be a victorious win in beating this unpredictable disease. I don't know anyone that has survived cancer...

I like your comment! Alternative Medicine is an ideology more than a treatment method. It's the idea that modern medicine is under control of governments that are taking advantage of people and getting them to pay for "effectless" treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation. This ideology also fools people into thinking that a conspiracy is being plotted and that things like fasting or making smoothies and eating plants could cure you from a defection in DNA replication that goes out of control and spreads into the whole body! We know that people in America believe all this despite of this country being WAY modern and way deep when it comes to technology and science. I don't feel sad for those who lose the fight.

Hi Christina,My name is Donna & I'm in remission from DCIS, & I was HER2/NEU positive at stage 2b breast cancer 2 yrs ago.This is the first video of yours I'm watching right now & I'm subscribing to you.I see in the feed you have since gone ahead and done the standard treatments recommended by your oncologist(s).I have so much to share with you too but there's so limited space here & I don't want to do any vlogs yet til after I move away from where I'm at.I can reveal my own story later.

[@dianawine]

As a follower of Christina, I think she would want us to keep people updated so that they learn and she can continue to make a difference in the world. Christina did die from her Cancer. However, I have another friend, Leah, who was diagnosed with the same exact cancer as Christina. Leah dived directly into all that medicine has to offer. She did chemo, radiation, etc. She was diagnosed six months after Christina and died six months after Christina. Two very different approaches led to the same conclusion. A third friend got Triple Negative BC after both Christina and Leah passed away, she went the medical route and is doing well today. I think the main takeaway is to do you. There are no right or wrong answers as there is no handbook. Live your life on your terms.

For some idiot to say chemo doesn't work because I know a friend or relative that died even though he or she had chemo is beyond stupid. Chemo has turned childhood leukemia from a absolutely killer to something that many, many children survive. And yes kids still died of leukemia but that sure the hell isn't because of the chemo.

A lot of people think chemo and radiation always save peoples lives and it does not. I use to think that years ago and anyone who did not do it were crazy but then I learned I was mistaken. The medical model has a hold on people and they learn from childhood that is the only way and sometimes it is not the only way. Each person had to decide for themselves.

@@jennxv3 this is what I’m scared of, I have stage 3C uterine cancer it has spread to my lymph nodes. I’m 61 and they want me to start Chemo and Radiation in 2 weeks. I have a slow growing form of Cancer, I had a hysterectomy 2 years ago that was supposed to be the cure, I had a 95% chance it would never return. But in June I had some pain so I went to the emergency room, I had a CT scan to check for kidney stones, but they found a enlarged lymph node on my left side of my pelvis. The ER doctor didn’t seem concerned about it, he vaguely mentioned in the report to follow up with my oncologist. I ignored it because I was in the middle of packing my apartment up for renovations. It wasn’t until September I had some spotting, now that was my red flag. I made a appointment with my oncologist and she diagnosed me with recurring vaginal cancer, I had a lymph node dissection and they discovered 10 more nodes with Cancer, that’s why I’m a Stage 3C. I asked both oncologist how long I would live if I didn’t do the regimen they want me to do, and both agreed I would probably live for a few more years, even with all that horrible harsh treatment I still would only have a 47% chance of it going into remission. I’m 61 and the thought of Chemo and radiation combined scares the crap out of me. I’ve already lost 20 pounds because of stomach problems, which I’m having a endoscopy in December to see what’s up with that. My thing is do I want to live a few more years or do I want to put poison in my body and suffer with horrible radiation burns and all the nausea and weakness, I live alone and have no family for support. I only have my boyfriend of 12 years. I feel like I still have good health and chemo and radiation will kill me faster than my cancer. 🤔🤔
