Incredible Healing Journals Presents Lori Lober on her inspiring journey through Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer

For 18 months Lori Lober tried to find an explanation as to why she intuitively felt something was wrong with her body. By the time she was diagnosed with Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer, her tests showed HER 2 positive (breast cancer ‘oncogene’), Liver metastases as well as tumors throughout her lymphatic system. At only 36 years of age, and one month before her younger brother passed away from cancer, Lori started conventional chemotherapy treatments for Stage IV metastatic breast cancer. Now more than twenty years later, after years of Herceptin treatments, multiple surgeries and a double mastectomy, Lori is ‘alive and thriving!’

Doctors gave Lori a two percent chance of living more than five years. Against the greatest odds, she dusted off the recesses of her spirit and broke through the shackles of one of the deadliest killers of women today.

Her message rings clear to teach us that no matter what odds you are given, no matter what trials and tribulations are placed on your path, your indomitable spirit will pull you through. Lori tells us: ”That’s why I wanted to live, I wanted to prove that there are survivors of every type and every stage of cancer.”

Lori shares intimate details in this interview, as she goes on record to explain her choices with respect to breast reconstruction surgery after a double mastectomy.

Still Bigger Than Pink: Alive & Thriving!

Still Bigger Than Pink Alive and Thriving by Lori Lober

“On January 2, 2009, I saw my oncologist for my annual scans. While I am confident in my wellness and feel better than I have ever felt, I cannot help but be a bit nervous each time the tests are run. I am alive and well with great news! All are clear and I remain “no evidence of disease”! I know dedication to self-care and my new IsAgenix regimen are working to create balance in my body allowing for optimum healing! My doctors cannot give me definite answers as to why my treatments have been successful when others have failed, or even why I’m still alive and thriving now, NINE years after my stage IV, metastatic breast cancer diagnosis. However, they have said many times that I “am a very proactive patient.” Of course, being proactive does not guarantee success and long-term survival – unfortunately, there are no guarantees. However, I feel that truly believing that I was not going to die, most certainly was an important factor. In addition to that, my faith, the support of my family and friends, the combination of everything discussed in this book, and yes, a little luck, have all contributed to my long-term survival. Prior to being diagnosed with cancer, I would not necessarily have considered myself an extraordinarily lucky person. Now, however, the quality of life I live every day is much richer, the special moments more memorable, and the love I have to offer both to myself as well as to others, is deeper and more fulfilling. This is precisely why I tell everyone I meet that I feel “blessed” to have actually had cancer, and I continue to be deeply grateful to now be healthy and happy. Journey well!” Lori C.
