hi my name is Renee Heitmann a year ago
I was diagnosed with breast cancer and
currently I’m living with stage 4
metastatic cancer that is in my liver
and in my lymph nodes
to see someone that’s the embodies the
you know health and the body and all
that get cancer you know I think that
was kind of shocking for most of us it
was very difficult because Renee told me
that she did not want to go through
chemotherapy she did not want to go
through surgery and that she wanted to
treat herself naturally my enema bucket
looks like a bit confident we wanted her
to just get a lumpectomy and hopefully
that you know that would take care of it
and she would go on with her life but
that isn’t what she decided to do so
right now I’m just riddled with cancer
and somehow that doesn’t scare me
because I’m plowing into this natural
approach that I feel like is right for
me that decision not to treat her cancer
with Western methods was very much tied
in for her with you know losing the
opportunity to have children and the
toxicity of the treatment causing more
problems for her things that I couldn’t
really reassure her around Renee had
researched everything I mean she had a
binder full of like every aspect of her
disease my research and all of
everything goes into eventually I sat
her down and talked with her because I
could see as she was in a lot more pain
they told her that the cancer had spread
partially to her heart her lungs her
liver I was afraid she was gonna die
right then we decided that because I
don’t want the cancer to progress I am
going to start doing some chemotherapy
for a while she got a lot better we had
an party in the park with all of her
friends and I think it made her happy to
do that and then it was only a couple
months later she had to go back into the
hospital
I get a notice for my doctor too saying
she wants me to go and um have an MRI of
my brain and she calls me the very next
morning and notifies me that I have over
50 um
lesions in my brain my doctor has
informed me that there are no longer any
viable options for me so she’s put me on
hospice care and we’ll just take it one
day at a time
