That was disappointing.

I rode in a SUV with rock hard seats. Got to a mission. Sat through 2 hours of a service in French and didn't understand much of it. Got prayed over after it. Felt the same before, during and after the prayers. When I mentioned the lack of change, comments like sometimes it takes a few days to kick in to you may need to go 5 to 10 more times. Sat on the rock hard seats back againl. I think this trip was too close to the operation and that SUV had seats that were torture. Don't get me wrong, everyone's heart was in the right place. I offered to pay for some of the gas and they refused to take it. I brought money for the healing, but the person didn't take it. The day didn't cost me anything, they told me to bring my own water and sandwiches. I went with $28 dollars and I came back home with the same amount. Wish I had positive changes to report. Now I go to Vermont tomorrow and I hope I'm not suffering like I did today. At least my car seats are better. So I'm going to bed. I'm vasseling between numb and heart broken. Called Cancer Centers of America at the urging of 3 people. They're sending me info in the mail. They listened to what I had to say. They asked if I had had a full body scan. No, but I might bring it up tomorrow if the Dr. doesn't. Their nearest CC of America is in Philidelphia, Pennsylvania. With the cost of gas. . ..Cost of the programs, our co-pays and out-of-pocket expenses.

I have heard good things about Cancer Centers of America. I know it is going to be expensive but money comes and money goes...there is only one of you. I'm not familiar enough with the faith healers to be able to say anything about your experience.

My Mom wracked up a one million dollar bill from one cancer operation. You have to keep track of the bottom line unless you want to file bankrupcy or be a street person or both.

I would still try CCoA if there is any way possible. They are more holistic, or at least that is how they present themself. I like that you are taking action, not just sitting and letting things happen. Praying for you, dear.

Yeah, well, sitting around would help me heal up better. trust me, I'm paying for this physically and mentally, like you would not believe. I feel like I should still be in bed.

Hi writers After reading your discussion about faith healers, yesterday I called up my mom. I remember she had been once visiting one such person as she was suffering from some clots in her artery and even in her head somewhere. She told me that it does take some time to get started on feeling the results. Also the most important thing here is trust and faith on the Healer. Like your's here too the guy did not take any money and there was no food, mom had to take it along. I am not quite well versed with the various hospitals at America and so I may not be the right person commenting about them. But from what I judge reading this, I can ask you taking a train as I have been told that America has good connectivity via trains and flights. I can also suggest you to hop on to the Internet and do a search about your ailments. It may not be quite helpful at the start and might look gloomy but trust me, over the time, you would know quite a lot more about your ailment and also what are the treatments available all across... I have been suffering from a disease(which will eventually turn into cancer as it is non-curable) and I know more than my doctors now just by doing a thorough research and reading on the Internet.

There is no train where I live from NY to VT. I have to cross a lake by bridge or Ferry. My husband drove. We went by ferry there and by bridge back.

My dear friend I was so hoping that it would be a quite positive visit, but sounds like more discomfort and confusion. Do know that you tried your best and as always I will continually urge you to keep seeking for the optimal best. I will be saying an extra prayer for you tonight so that tomorrows visit to Vermont is at least much more comfortable. Definitely bring up the fully body scan that is important and should be done to determine if anything has traveled and or perhaps will be negative but always best to make sure. As for Cancer Treatment Center, please writer, it might be well worth seeking. With your condition, seconds, thirds opinion are so necessary. I do realize it may be a major cost, but please writer it might be well worth doing so. I have heard of so many testimonials and although the affected patients were not acquaintances of mine I teared of joy with their positive results. Do rest my friend you have had a hard few days, you will need the extra rest so that you can fight this through. embraces and kisses to you.
