You are one of the most amazing people I have ever seen. You should really a book about your experiences. Truly inspirational and awe-inspiring. I have no doubt that you will lose all your weight and talk about what you went through and how you survived. I loved to read your story on how you overcome even the toughest of situations. Always share this story with as many people as you can. It's incredibly amazing.

All I can say is, "Wow". WOW! Your story brought tears to my eyes. You are indeed a shining example to others going through weight / image / health issues and I truly hope and pray that you continue to heal and get healthier and stronger.

There just aren't enough words. Thank you for sharing.

wow. I am speechless. I too have gained a lot of weight recently, and don't feel well a lot of the times. My doctor says its my anti depressants but my gut has been telling me its more than that. Cancer runs in my family (my dad has kidney cancer right now) but I dont know how to tell my doctor that I strongly believe there is something wrong with me without her thinking im nuts.

You can really tell in your pictures how much happier you are now and you look AMAZING! I don't know you, but after reading your story I have to say, I am so PROUD of you!

Your Angels were your Grandmum and your Dad. Keep at it, im so happy you are cancer free! you kicked cancers a**.

Aww, thank you doll!

Renal Cell Carcinoma (kidney cancer) is what my Dad had too. Hopefully they caught your Dad's in an early stage. I recommend that everyone does some research on cannabis oil/juicing cannabis as a cure for cancer. There are lots of remedies that purport to cure cancer, with lots of evidence to support it: Turmeric spice, pumpkins, soursop, a pH balanced diet (balanced nutrition), baking soda, etc are just a few I've read up on. Personally, if I ever do get cancer again, I will NEVER do chemotherapy. Especially with what happened to my Mom. I'd take my chances with one of these natural cures instead.

Also, this is something that maybe you should look into for yourself. I know a lot of people are very close-minded about alternative methods of healing, but where would I be without it? That's how I prevented my second cancer via the proper nutrition and completely cutting out soda (which is highly acidic and basically cancer in a can).

I hope you start to feel better soon!

You are my new hero! I'm floored that the doctors did such a muck up job with you, they are pretty bad where I live too.

I want to ask you something but you don't have to reply, just please check this out. Have you had a Radon gas check in your home?

Radon is #2 behind smoking for causing cancer, while reading your story about all the cancer in your family Radon kept coming into my mind. You cannot smell or see it. There are kits to test for it in your home or you can have it professionally done.

You can go to the EPA site for radon and even see if the area you live in is "hot" for radon. It isn't in the beach towns but where there is rock under the ground. Read up on it and see if it is a possibility. If it is in your home then you and your mother are still in danger. You can get a machine to get it out, this will not require that you move.

You are an amazing young lady, and I'm very sorry you lost your father and grandmother - my grandmother raised me a lot too when my mother was sick (she is better now many years later).

Oh my goodness! What a story. You have definitely overcome more in one lifetime than most. I hope you continue to be healthy and happy! Amazing loss. Now you know that you are capable of ANYTHING you set your mind to!

I mentioned this earlier in the thread, although I'm sure it's buried in there somewhere, but I've moved around a lot and so has my family. My Dad and I were living in different places when we both got sick. When my Mom was sick, we were living in a house out in the country. We moved out of that house long before my Dad or I got sick. So, I don't think it's the location. I think genetics and environmental toxins (from foods, food containers, etc) have a lot to do with it. But I appreciate the concern!

Thank you. I am glad to hear that your mother, too, has recovered!

Interesting story; I've heard other stories about female organ cancers that were so hard to detect. You look fantastic, and I'll bet you feel so strong now. Great job!
