Breast cancer patient foregoes traditional treatment for raw diet

111Shelley, now 51, never saw it coming because she never felt a lump

in her breast. Instead, the cancer was spread across several smaller

deposits, leaving her unable to detect it by touch. In fact, the only

reason she got a mammogram was because her doctor suggested a woman of

her age -- 44 at the time -- should consider getting one.

 

So she made an appointment in mid-July 2001, not thinking much of it.

Dozens of pictures later, she remembered, she knew something was

wrong. Doctors called her back the next day to break the news: There

was a 70-percent chance she not only had breast cancer, but a

particularly advanced case.

 

" I still get emotional, " she said, tears clouding her eyes in the

living room of her north Provo home. " I drove home that day bawling. I

think the biggest thing for me was the fear of unknown. "

 

That August, a surgeon tried to remove the cancerous tissue from

Shelley's breast. Subsequent tests revealed that the malignancies had

spread beyond the margins of the surgery. In short order, doctors

recommended more surgery, followed by chemotherapy and radiation.

 

But something about that didn't sit right with her, she said --

something like an inexplicable feeling that she wouldn't survive it.
