Cancer

Dena’s Transfer Factor StoryMy name is Dena Guidice, and I want to share with you how Transfer Factor™ has saved my life. In November of 1998, I was diagnosed with lung cancer. At that time, my team of doctors recommended that the best course of treatment for my cancer would be to perform radiation and chemotherapy simultaneously. I got started with both treatments immediately and was given the highest dosages of treatment possible. Over the next 90 days, I suffered from all of the normal side effects including weakness, vomiting, hair loss & severe weight loss. My radiation and chemo treatments ended late February 1999.
On March 25th, 1999, I went in for surgery (as planned), and the doctors removed a tumor from my right lung along with the top 1/3rd of my lung and three sections of my ribs. The surgery went very well, and the doctors believed that they had successfully removed all of the cancer from my body. After my surgery, I went through an additional 12 weeks of chemotherapy from May to July 1999, as a "safety measure." It was during this time that my body became so weak that all I could do was sleep and lie in bed all day. I lost all of my hair at this point, and my fingernails and teeth became so brittle I started to lose them as well. I lost my appetite completely and got to the point where I weighed only 88 pounds.
Even as sick as I was in the summer, I was still hopeful that by fall I would get stronger after the chemotherapy was out of my system. My hope was short lived, however. In August, I found a lump under my left arm. After another surgery to remove that tumor, the tests confirmed that I had malignant lymphatic cancer (cancer of the lymph nodes) and that the cancer was all over my whole body. At that point in time, my team of doctors told me there was nothing they could do for me. I had stage 4 (final stage) cancer and I had a maximum of 4 to 6 months to live. They told me to do everything I’ve always wanted to do in life within the next 45-60 days because after that, I would be much too weak and too sick to do anything whatsoever. By this time, I was convinced that I was going to die - especially since the doctors had never seen a person live beyond 8 months, in my condition with my kind of cancer.
At this point, I shared the devastating news with my kids, and we all took a trip to Hawaii. In my own mind, I knew that this would be my "farewell trip." I had given up every ounce of hope, and I had mentally prepared myself to die. It was at this time (1st week in October) that my son finally convinced me to start taking Transfer Factor. In my mind, I was 100% convinced that it wouldn't do anything for me, but nonetheless, I started taking six Transfer Factors Plus and six regular Transfer Factor capsules every day. Within 30 days, I started to feel a little stronger and regained my appetite, but I still believed in my mind that my life was soon to be over. I kept taking the product. By January 2000, about 90 days after starting on Transfer Factor, I found myself even stronger and had gained back 7 pounds.
I continued taking Transfer Factor every day. It’s now been 7 months since I started taking Transfer Factor (May 2000). I've now gained a total of 26 pounds and I feel healthier than I've felt in over 2 years. I just went to see my doctor 2 weeks ago, and he said that, "I'm a living Miracle" and that I have no signs of cancer. Transfer Factor has not only saved my life, it has given me hope for tomorrow and the years ahead.
