Update on My Dad...

My dad is currently in the middle of his cancer treatment. Normally when people are in the midst of treatment, they feel horrible, BUT I am so thankful to be able to say that my dad feels GREAT!!! This is because he is taking a different approach in attempting to rid his body of this cancer. Because traditional medicine had no options for him, my parents did tons of research (along with my uncle who literally to a leave of absence from his job as a doctor) and found an alternative treatment from a world renowned doctor that just happens to be located only an hour and a half away from my parents home. This doctor was just recently featured in Susan Somers new book called "Knockout- Doctors that are curing Cancer". I am enjoying reading this book and learning so much ( I would highly recommend it to anyone who knows someone with cancer or has cancer in their family, as it gives good ways to prevent cancer in the first place.)
Anyways, my dad is now an organic fanatic and doesn't eat sugar or meat. Now if you know my dad at all, this is a huge change. He has always loved food, but suprisingly this change was very easy for him as he knows he is doing it for having his life in exchange. I am so thankful that my dad is so passionate about fighting this cancer and am so thankful that my parents were able to get my dad into this doctor who has given hope and life to so many. We obviously don't know what the outcome will be but we are praying for a miracle and praying that the Lord would heal my dad of this diesease. The only thing about this therapy is that it is EXPENSIVE because insurance won't cover a penny of it,( even though this doctor has kept people alive with this therapy with the most deadly kinds of cancer for over 25 years)! So if you think about it, please pray for my parents, my dads health and that God would give my dad many opportunities to share the gospel with people that he is in treatment with! Thanks!!!
