Katie Hubbard had come to the end of chemotherapy options, but she was grateful (and sad!) to have an alternative cancer treatment option available. In early July 2015, we were planning to board a plane for Mexico to pursue another course of therapy.

For some people, alternative therapy is a first choice. For Katie, it was a last resort. Her body simply couldn't tolerate any more chemo treatments. She wanted to satisfy herself that, for the sake her kids, she had done everything possible to beat the progress of cancer. The open door to pursue alternative treatment made her grateful but also broke her heart.
