Thanksgiving Day is tomorrow and I have so much to be thankful for – today and everyday!
Right now, I’d like to express my deepest heartfelt gratitude to each of you for financially contributing to the non-toxic cancer treatment I have chosen at Nature Works Best in Tempe, AZ. I would also like to thank those of you who have been praying for me. That means a lot!
Things are going really well and I’m feeling really good. I’m on week 10 of my 12 week treatment which has consisted of high-dose Vitamin C and a lot of other nutrients administered via IV and Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment 3 days a week since our arrival to the Phoenix area in September. The treatment plan also includes a very strict diet as well as exercise.
I had an MRI on October 15th, and at that time the tumor was atleast 30% smaller compared to PET Scan measurements taken in June. My next MRI is scheduled for December 6th and I’m hopeful for an even greater reduction in size.
Happy Thanksgiving and again, thank you! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I wouldn’t be able to here if it wasn’t for each of you helping make this possible!

***Quick update for everyone***Tuesday Sept 10th 2024***
Hello everyone, we flew down to Tempe AZ on Sunday-Monday of this week to take a tour of the Cancer treatment center and meet the staff. We really liked what we saw and are moving forward on Joyce’s treatment plan. Her first treatment with be Sat Sept 21st so we will be packing things up this week and driving down this coming Sunday.Â
We want to thank everyone who has given to the fund for the treatment and living expenses for the 12 weeks we will be in the Phoenix-Tempe area. Joyce is ready to get things started and we just wanted to make sure it was the right fit for us before we drove down! We are so thankful for everyone’s prayers and support during this time it means the world to us. Thank you for sharing this with other people as we will need to continue to raise funds while we are there!
You guys are AWESOME!! We Love you all and we will be making Christmas presents for all of you from Cactus plants we find in the area!!
Thanks again, all our love,
Sean & JoyceÂ
The day after Mother’s Day of this year, Joyce developed a cough and felt very sick. Ten days after the cough started, at her 2nd visit to urgent care, she requested a chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia. That chest x-ray revealed something that needed further imaging. A CT scan then revealed an 8.5 cm x 8.2 cm x 4.1 cm tumor located between her heart and her left lung. After undergoing a surgical biopsy, Joyce was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Due to the location of the tumor, surgery was ruled out as an option to remove the cancer.
This Hodgkin’s Lymphoma diagnosis has been extremely shocking for anyone who knows her.
We have found a clinic in Arizona that offers a type of treatment that we feel safest exploring, and they appear to have had good results. We are hoping to raise enough funds to cover the anticipated expenses so Joyce can receive this type of non-toxic treatment for the scheduled time of at least 12 weeks. The money raised will pay for all of the treatment costs as well as necessary labs and imaging, travel, lodging, meals and any follow up medical expenses that won’t be covered by our medical insurance once we are back home.Â
We are sincerely grateful for any donation to help us pay for these expenses! Every donation will greatly multiply the funds that are needed to accomplish the goal of Joyce being in remission and, ultimately, cancer free. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
