Here are my email dispatches sent from the frontline with dry humour and honesty - but no sentiment. I start with the lead up to the action (performing the day before) and end with world travel. A noble hero? At times I felt more like the battleground itself! "Stay calm, lie flat, and drink plenty of water." It was others who fought: the medics, those who visited, prayed, etc. Personally, in such circumstances, I doubt an aggressively positive attitude makes much difference to outcome: That may encourage some!

The trip started as a fundraiser in honor of my sister, June, who died of brain cancer.

Cancer is a result of toxicity in the body. Toxins are substances that perform no physiological function, and, therefore, do not belong in the body. The more pervasive the toxins are in your body, the greater chance you have of getting any chronic disease, including cancer. Toxicity leads to cell mutations, which medical science recently determined is the leading cause of cancer. When your body no longer contains substances that are harmful to it, toxins, your body can start healing itself if you provide it with the right nutrients, including water.

Cancer can result from abnormal proliferation of any of the different kinds of cells in the body, so there are more than 100 distinct types of cancer, which can vary substantially in their behavior and response to treatment. Cancer occurs when cell division gets out of control. One of the fundamental features of cancer is tumor clonality, the development of tumors from single cells that begin to proliferate abnormally. Rare cancers are any tumors that involve a small percentage of the population in any age group.
