In April of 2005 I was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer and had my left Kidney removed. My post-surgical checkups were clear until November of 2007 when an enlarged lymph node in my chest was discovered, and then later another site on my vertebrae L2 was discovered along with other lymph nodes. A biopsy confirmed it to be a metastasis from the original cancer.

Kidney cancer alone has a good survival rate when the tumor is small, is confined to the kidney, and caught before metastasizing. It is typically treated by surgically removing the effected kidney. However when the cancer has metastasized, the survival rate falls to less than 10% for survival beyond 5 years. That can be extended with therapies and drugs, but there is currently no long-term cure for this kind of cancer. My tumor was large and the cancer had metastasized so I was definitely high risk.

I was admitted to the hospital in March of 2008 for an immune therapy but was not responsive. In May I went on a chemotherapy drug called Sutent in an attempt to control the progression of the cancer. I was responsive to the drug, but this drug is only effective for an unpredictable period of time and has side effects. By April of 2009 I was suffering the side effects and battling with the fact that there is no long term cure. The chemo was only delaying the inevitable.

About 9 months after the second diagnosis Elaine Hulliberger told about an alternative treatment called Protocel that had been reported to be effective in curing 80% of all cancer types attempted. It is also reported that kidney cancer was one of the top 3 cancers that responded well to Protocel. In May of 2009 I started on Protocel and the following month I stopped taking Sutent. It is now March 2010 and my lymph nodes are back to normal size and my vertebrae is clear of cancer. According to my doctor he can no longer conclusively tell if I still have cancer.

My story is a story of faith in the power of prayer and God’s merciful hand. I invite you to read My Story. If you have cancer yourself, my hope is that you will dig deep into my story and find hope. If you know of someone with cancer, please share my story with them.

God Bless,

Brad
