My Cancer Solutions

Hello everyone! I wanted to create this blog to help people that are affected by cancer.
My name is Natasha and I am a wife and mother to three young boys ages 3, 6, and 8. My husband and I own our own business in the entertainment industry. We represent models and actors at our agency Peak Models & Talent www.peakmodels.com

In October 2006 I had lost my voice for over 2 weeks and I had a dry cough. It got to the point where it was hurting to cough, and I went to the doctor. After a chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia, my doctor asked me what the "lump" in my neck was? I had never noticed a lump in my neck, but my back had a sore spot between the ribs up high.
The next day I went to the pumpkin patch with my middle son's class and was called by my doctor to get a CT scan. He did not tell my why, I just figured that there was a chest infection or something. I went for the scan, they referred my to an ENT. I got in without an appointment, they wanted to see my thyroid, they referred me to an ultrasound of my neck, again, no appointment. You know it is serious when you don't need an appointment.
At the ultrasound, the technician called in a passing doctor and asked him to take a look. Within a moment he had a concerned look and told me that there was noting wrong with my thyroid, there was something next to my thyroid. I asked what is there? Lymph system.
I went back to get a FNA ( fine needle aspiration) and within a few minutes I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma Stage 2. I was devastated, and I wanted answers. I felt that it was unfair, that I had followed the rules, I had eaten properly, taken vitamins, and I had three boys to care for. This was not happening to me. It couldn't.
I have long since been searching for the answers to why people get cancer, and everyone told me I would drive myself crazy, so I did. I found answers all over the place.
I want to share with others what I have found, and let you know that there are valid solutions to keeping yourself in an optimal state of health. I have also found that there are countless chemicals that we are exposed to on a daily basis that are cancer causing. This blog will be updated on a regular basis with information that will help people avoid these chemicals in their daily lives, along with things you can do to help while going through chemo.
