I recently come across a cure for any kind of cancer. and it is easy to get the medicine... I can even provide the medicine.

What an amazing story to put on T.V especially when it seems my year has also been consumed by the same disease.I was 28 when diagnosed in Jan with breast cancer, had a mastectomy in Feb, married in March and started chemo in April. Helena reminded me a lot of myself very confident and bubbly and showing New Zealand her story will show that you do not need to look sick to have cancer as a lot of people think.Exercise and a positive attitude as well as being open and sharing my story with others made support through this time so much easier.I have just had my reconstruction and am absolutely wrapped with what the surgeons can do! you can not even tell I have had a mastectomy! Helena there will be days when you want to scream at the world..So do it! but you are a beautiful girl and being bald will not be a problem with your attitude! Although a little cold during winter a lot of woman wished they could shave their heads just to know what it was like. My hair has now grown back to about a number 4 in 3 months, I still continue to have herceptin (govt you rock) and pills for years to come, but I do this with a smile on my face because I found the lump and I am alive! You rock Helena! you brought a smile to my face to see another young woman who is willing to share her story. John thank you for getting this to air. I look forward to seeing more of her story. Stay strong x
