On today's episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions we are joined by Deb Krier.  Herjourney through the world of cancer has been profoundly shaped by her past experiences. Years ago, she worked for an oncologist, a remarkable man whose approach to cancer care was far ahead of his time. This experience greatly influenced her perspective and decisions when she faced her own cancer diagnosis in 2015. The oncologist's recent passing saddened me, but his forward-thinking philosophy continues to inspire her. 

Additionally, her work with the American Cancer Society provided her with valuable knowledge, which came into play when she was diagnosed. When she was diagnosed, the initial discovery was calcification, detected by a mammogram, and not a lump or bump. These tiny spots, smaller than grains of salt, led to further tests and a stage zero cancer diagnosis. While the situation was concerning, it wasn't immediately alarming. However, subsequent tests revealed that the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes, necessitating a more aggressive approach. Her journey included biopsies, MRIs, and eventually, a double mastectomy. Throughout this process, she chose to follow traditional treatments but also did extensive research to make informed decisions. This experience taught me the importance of being proactive and knowledgeable about one's own health.

Despite facing multiple complications, including septic shock and the loss of part of her digestive system, she persevered. Her approach to treatment, including a decision against reconstructive surgery, was guided by thorough research and personal comfort. She also embraced a mindset focused on living fully despite my health challenges. This philosophy was reinforced by the memory of her oncologist and his emphasis on the power of the mind. Ultimately, her experiences led her to create an organization dedicated to helping others navigate similar journeys. Trying Not to Die Live embodies the principle of living life to the fullest, regardless of the obstacles, a lesson she has come to cherish deeply.

• Discovery: Deb finds a lump in her breast during a routine self-examination, a moment that sets off a series of medical appointments and tests.
• Diagnosis: After undergoing a mammogram, ultrasound, and biopsy, she receives the diagnosis of breast cancer, a moment marked by shock and fear.
• Treatment: She embarks on a rigorous treatment plan, which includes surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, each phase presenting its own set of challenges and side effects.
• Support: Throughout her journey, she relies on a strong support system of family, friends, and healthcare professionals, whose encouragement and assistance prove invaluable.
• Resilience: Despite the physical and emotional toll, she demonstrates remarkable strength and resilience, finding hope and determination to fight and ultimately survive the disease.
