COLO / RECTAL CANCER

Three years ago, I was diagnosed with Colo/Rectal Cancer. After 6 months of terrible chemotherapy and radiation treatments, I was told that the cancer was basically gone and all I needed to do was have periodic CT and PET Scans to make sure that everything was ok. 10 months ago, the CT Scan showed that the cancer was not only back but had metastasized to my lungs and liver. Because I had such a difficult time with the Chemo and Radiation before, my oncologist was able to get me in an experimental Immunotherapy study at Levine Cancer Center in Charlotte, NC. The spots on my lung basically disappeared as a result of the treatments, but the liver spot did not. The Dr decided to do an ablation, which involved inserting a needle into the tumor and blasting it with microwaves. The treatment was successful as well. Three months later, the CT Scan showed that another spot had appeared on my liver and because of the proximity to a major blood vessel, another ablation was not an option. The only other option was surgery to remove the tumor along with a portion of my liver, which would cause me to be cancer free once again. Because of scheduling issues, the surgery was scheduled for two months out. The week prior to my surgery, the CT Scan showed no change in the liver spot and my original Colo/Rectal cancer had returned. The surgery was postponed while the other tumor was treated with chemotherapy. Once again, I was having a horrible time with the side effects of the chemotherapy. The worst one was the development of lymphedema in my right leg…and then my left leg due to the chemotherapy. This is an incurable condition that causes major swelling, itching, and intense pain in the sole and heel of the feet. This was way worse than any of the other side effects and I was reduced to using a cane and then a walker in order to get around. I was complaining about the pain to my next-door neighbor, Melody Miller, several months ago and she said that I should try some ReAction products because they had really helped her with her own foot issues. She gave me all of the brochures explaining the various products and how they were created. My oncologist reviewed them and did his own research and told me that he saw no reason that I couldn’t try them since they would not react in any way with ANY of the drugs that I was taking to fight the cancer. I tried a sample of the ReAction Pain Relief as well as the capsules. Within 30 minutes of applying the Relief Salve to my legs and feet, the sharp, shooting pains that I had been dealing with were basically gone! In addition, I was taking one ReAction capsule between 8 and 10 pm at night and was able to sleep uninterrupted through the night, which I had not been able to do before. I now apply the Pain Relief salve once every two days to each leg and take the Capsules every night.
