Surgery and chemo

Michael's Reflections

Words from the cancer journey.

On nausea

After chemo I couldn't eat anything and lost a lot of weight. After a few weeks of TCM I could finally have a bowl of porridge—it felt like a new lease on life.

On persistence

My family recommended CancerCura. Daily check-in reminded me to take herbs and watch my diet; it became a habit.

On recovery

Now I can eat normally again and my energy is back. My doctor says I'm recovering well. I credit TCM for that.
