Joan Apter Needs Your Support

Donation protected
In 2013, I was diagnosed with "Stage 2 infiltrating ductal carcinoma" and scheduled for surgery. I decided to back off from that, knowing that my first step had to be cleansing on both the physical and emotional levels.
 
After searching out many alternatives, I was led to Angel Farms Cleansing and Rejuvenation Center in Hawaii, for their 10-day cleanse -- a healing program that places strong emphasis on emotional cleansing. http://www.angelfarms.com/
 
Back then, my wonderful GoFundMe supporters made it possible for me to attend the Angel Farms program, which turned out to be wildly successful. I returned home, after 10 days there, for a new MRI and sonogram that showed the tumor had substantially shrunk.
 
My supportive doctor then agreed to let me continue on my non-traditional path until the next appointment. Each appointment, following my Angel Farms visit, revealed that my tumor was smaller and smaller until, finally, my doctor no longer suggested surgery. The MRI read: "Benign".
 
Every year I get a new MRI, and every six months I go back to my doctor for sonograms and check-ups.
 
In 2019, the MRI showed a new irregular lesion in the area of the previously-seen scar, the assessment being: "Highly suggestive of malignancy". In other words, my tumor was suspicious for recurrence. Once again, I attended the Angel Farm program, and once again the tumor shrunk and my doctor was happy to allow me to continue my non- traditional program at home.
 
That being said, my most recent MRI (February 28, 2022) showed the tumor had grown.
 
It is now very important for me to return to Angel Farms for the May 29th cleanse to once again shrink this visitor. Time is of the essence.
 
Towards that end, I will need a plane ticket to Hilo, Hawaii and the funds for the cleanse, lodging, food, and to cover bills when I am away and unable to work.
 
Thank you for considering to support my healing process once again! I couldn't have done this without you!
 
If you are not able to be of support financially, one of the great gifts you can provide would be to share this campaign on your Facebook page to keep the ball rolling!
 
I look forward to sending you joyous updates from Angel Farms and again, when return home.
