Kerry Shares Her Cancer Journey
At the time of this video recording (November 2024), Kerry is in hospice.... but she has shocked her hospice care nurses with what she can continue to do, activities that look typical to many people: shop, cook, take care of herself.
When Kerry was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, she opted not to do chemotherapy. Instead, she sought alternative treatment that has visibly proven to give her a fantastic quality of life that she - and her hospice caregivers - didn't expect.
Listen in to see how Kerry's choices for her medical care treatment plan have not only allowed her to carry on many of her normal activities while in hospice... but appears to have extended her days on what would typically be considered a death sentence.
Background: I met Kerry more than 10 years ago when she became a loyal customer of our skin care products. She became trained in functional medicine to deal with her ongoing autoimmune diseases and learned how to change not only her diet, but her lifestyle.
Then she became my functional health certified coach and SHE helped ME make some major changes in my diet, my daily activities, my habits, my sleep, my fitness routine.... the list goes on and on.
I credit her for the increase in energy, clean health, and huge strength gains I've experienced over the years.
To share added value to our MadeOn customers, Kerry often joined me as a co-host to educate our customers on overall health.
After all, what happens to your SKIN is often an indicator of what's going on under the skin... in your kidneys, your gut, and many other organs in your body.
A couple of years ago Kerry's physician found a huge, cancerous growth on her chest... and it was far too deep to be able to remove surgically.
Listen in as Kerry and I talk about how she owned her health and the remaining years of her life with a function health approach she continues to commit to.
(Note: you might need a box of Kleenex nearby.)
It's February 2025 when I publish this and Kerry is (and has been for several months) on hospice. BUT, when you talk to her, you'd never know it. She's *almost* as active as ever.
