EDITOR’S NOTE: In support of Suffolk’s Relay for Life, the Suffolk

News-Herald will feature a series of stories in the coming months

about how cancer has touched the lives of area families.

 

Sylvia Bilby has been on a Relay for Life team for the past 15 years,

after watching her father battle bladder cancer and two uncles and an

aunt who had cancer.

 

“I’ve always known people with cancer and after studying the stats and

learning one in four people have it, it’s always been something I’ve

been passionate about,” Bilby said.

 

About five years ago, she walked as a survivor after she won a battle

with skin cancer, which was removed from her leg after she caught the

growth early.

 

*****

Bilby went to a ministry in Colorado Springs for a week in June with

her husband. She fasted for eight days to detoxify her body and

learned how to begin a new life with cancer by changing her diet. She

has since lost 70 pounds and eats an 80/20 diet — 80 percent raw food

and 20 percent cooked food — and has eliminated sugar, meat, dairy and

white flour.
