Hello, my name is Wendy Pick and I created this site to offer hope and inspiration to cancer patients and caregivers. It contains credible, evidence based information which may help improve your wellbeing when you have cancer.
In 2013 my husband was diagnosed with very advanced and inoperable colon and liver cancer. We worked with a wonderful oncologist who put my husband on a chemo regime that was known to help with metastatic colon cancer. I had always looked upon food from a functional perspective and when I read about the potential side effects from chemo, I studied nutrients that could help keep my husband well. I also studied factors related to cancer prevention which benefit the mind, body and spirit.
Additionally I learned about epigenetics and the anti-cancer compounds scientists are testing on animals. Click here to learn how I incorporated these items into my husband’s diet. One thing that kept me focused during our journey was to know that people have overcome cancer despite some very slim odds. If someone else who had Stage IV cancer could do it, then my husband also had a chance to either defy the odds or live with cancer as a chronic condition.
My husband remained very healthy during his chemo treatments, working out often. He experienced the normal fatigue associated with the drugs however very few people realized that he had cancer. His treatments worked much better than anticipated and he was able to have multiple surgeries by an extremely talented team of doctors. He recovered very well, regaining his strength after each procedure and lived for many years past his initial diagnosis.
