This site is addressed to you all: friends, friends of friends, relatives, family members... who have been there for me these last four years.

This site has been online for more than 2 years now. How time flies !

This means that I've been sick for 4 years now. At first I had breast cancer, and since September 2005 I have had peritoneal cancer as a result of metastases from the first one. This means that I have to do chemotherapy as long as there are cancerous cells. I can't have any surgery because the peritoneum is not operable. Nobody knows how long I'm going to have to do these agressive therapies, all we know is that I don't have any other choice.

It has become vital that I manage to hang in there in the long run. When I first went to India I thought and hoped that I would come back totally healed. I even believed it was my duty to do so, because so many of you had invested in me. I still believe in a complete recovery, but I have realised that in my case it's going to come about with many different treatments combined over time, including chemotherapy. If I want to live fully today, if I want to give myself all the chances possible of staying among loved ones, if I want to be able to raise my children, if I want to see them grow up, I need treatments that will support me and help my immune system tolerate the chemical bombardments. I need my Indian healing and rejuvenating programs. Not only do they help me feel better physically, they are like a breath of fresh air, an oasis where I can replenish myself for a new beginning. This is what helps me go on.

I have said it and resaid it, I don't know how long I'm going to be doing chemotherapy. Before I though it was sufficient to just have a strong desire to heal and have faith, and you would start healing right away. I know now that even though these two things are primordial factors in healing, they are not sufficient. My body needs to be helped. I'm helping it with special herbs, oils, vitamines, etc..., and that costs alot, a whole lot. That's not even to cure the cancer, it's just to help tolerate and counteract the side effects of chemotherapy.

So this is where I am at today. I need your help because my body is sick and I want to help it get better. Since 2004 you have been very many who have been supportive and have sent me money, and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I had really hoped to not have to ask you once again for your help, but my reality is that I have cancer, and my recovery is taking longer then I had hoped for. Your donations are so very welcome because they are becoming more and more necessary!

With all my heart I thank you all.

What follows was written 2 years ago when the site was created, it tells you a little more about me at the time:

Since I've been ill you've been asking me how you could help and until now I didn't know what to answer.
Today, I know.
I have a concrete plan for long-term permanent healing.
I've stopped kidding myself and realised that even though all the treatments I undertook (mutilating surgeries, radiothérapy and powerful chemio...) have kept me alive up until now, they haven't cured me of the cancer. The cancerous cells are still very much present.
The glands (under the armpits) have been affected (on the verge of rupture) and the new chemotherapy has to be even stronger because I've become chemo-resistant.

Not happy with the fact that there is no garanty of complete removal of all cancerous cells, my immune system gets weaker with each chimio, thus favorising a physical terrain for futur tumors to develop. I've decided to create the best possible physical conditions in order for my body to heal.

I've found an Ayurvedic clinic in India which uses a proven thearpy and has execellent results. This 5 week therapy (Panchakarma) détoxifies et re-balances the organism. (In my case I might need 2 sessions of 5 weeks each). I personnally know of a woman who healed herself with this exclusively.
For those of you who are interested you can go check out the clinic's site http://www.ayushakti.com/
As far as I'm concerned I'll be continuing chemotherapy until I go to India (I'm planning my trip for May 8th to June 14th)
To stay at the clinic in India (treatments, médication, room & board and food) costs about 2500 euros, To that you have to add the plane ticket (about 650 euros).
This is where you can contribute by helping me finance this project because...
"I'm worth it!"
All donations are welcome, The sum doesn't matter. The ocean was formed by thousands of little drops. In the same way all donations will make a
difference and will contribute to making this project a reality.
You are so many supporting me and together you can create an ocean even if you feel your participation is only a drop.

I truly believe that each donation is like a blessing or a prayer if you will. So by sending me money I feel you're also sending me your blessings to get better.
I want to thank you all for your generous and benevolent intentions.

Love
