Never to take a single minute of my life for granted, to appreciate every moment I spend with those I love

Alternative Cancer Treatment:
Eating lots of cancer-fighting veggies!

I’ve had five colon surgeries and a hysterectomy in the last two years. I no longer have a large intestine and I look like I lost a cutlass battle with an angry pirate!
