About Us


Our adopted daughter was 7-years-old when diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. At diagnosis I was told that her cancer was aggressive, like a stage IV cancer although with Leukemia they do not use stages. The doctor was using this statement as an analogy to say that her system was something like 80% leukemia cells.

My world was literally spinning. How do I help her? How do I increase her terrible survival odds so that her chance of survival is far higher than actual statistics? Plus, I had to figure out how to help her get through one of the hardest cancer treatments.

I started researching medical studies immediately and my eyes were really opened to the fact that there is a world-wide-network of medical institutions that share information for the purpose of increasing survival rates. Fifty years ago NINE out of ten children with leukemia died. Now the leukemia-patient-survival-statistics are approximately an 85% survival rate.

Even with our daughter's "stage IV" along with a prognosis of only a 30% chance of survival- she survived! Do not put all of your attention on stages and statistics, instead – I believe that by being proactive, learning as much as you can, using dictionaries to increase understanding, that you too, using these tools can increase your odds of survival in the short term and the long term!

We changed our lives from top to bottom!

I know first hand how workable these solutions are because I finished two-years of treatment for Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in late July of 2022 and used much of the advice on this site to help me through.

Let's travel this cancer road together!
