I call this story one of my small miracles. I’ve been so grateful with the people I’ve met the past few weeks, some are complete strangers but are leaving some comments in my blogs for me to get well. The day that I uploaded a picture of BCI (Benavidez Cancer Institute) at the UST Hospital at my Multiply site and at my Tweeter account was the day I met Ty Bollinger online. Of all the million topics about cancer, I was lucky enough to click his site and added my e-mail to his free digest about cancer. I received an auto responder that same day and browsed the preview of his book, Step Out of the Box. There were so many testimonials and the preview of the book was well written, I was impressed. I wrote him an e-mail that I wanted to get hold of a copy of his book and also told him that I am presently undergoing chemotherapy because of Stage 3 colon cancer. Imagine my surprise the following morning when he personally answered my e-mail thanking me for writing and he said, “I am happy to share the e-book (4th edition) at no charge”. And he ended his letter with the words “God bless you Arlene”. Gosh, he doesn’t know me from Adam and he could always ignore my e-mail but he chose to share. His generosity touched me so much, I cried.
The book, Cancer, Step Out of the Box, is a very comprehensive research on the alternative way to fight cancer. NO to Slash, Poison and Burn – Slash meaning the surgery itself, Poison refers of course to chemotherapy and Burn is his term for Radiation Therapy. He lost seven of his family members to the big C including his parents so for many years he did research on how to combat and prevent cancer the natural way. I’m halfway through reading his book and making notes at the same time. It’s all of 424 pages. I wrote him again to thank him for his gift and he wrote back, “You’re quite welcome, glad you’re enjoying the book”. God is so good, He has His own way of letting you know that you are not alone in the battle.
Cancer does not have to be a death sentence. I agree! Thank you Ty.
