Yoshiko Honda - Breast Cancer

Yoshiko was part of a very informative welcome party when we arrived. She has been reading up on various forms of alternative treatments and was a walking encyclopedia of knowledge. We were lucky to have her! Yoshiko, her husband and I posed together during our last meal together.
Yoshiko and her husband are also from Ontario, just about a 10 minute drive from Martin. Talk about a small world!
Yoshiko is here holding her 45 plus supplemental pills for the day...

  1. Hi Tamara,

    Thank you for your e-mail.

    I can't believe it's been over two weeks since I came here.

    I am now scared how much I can follow the regimen at home. Here at the clinic, my work is to concentrate in getting the therapy, but once when I go back home, I have to work. I can imagine whole lot of things have to be changed and adjusted, but I know I need to stay on the therapy...for my health and for my husband.

    By the way, I have a good news!
    The lumps that I used to have on my breasts (all of them) have gone. I had the malignant one on the left, but all from both are now gone. I do not have them any more. I noticed it since 4~5 days ago. Isn't it amazing! Dr. Cervantes said that the healing has begun.

    I am looking forward to getting an MRI test when I go back to Toronto. I bet my doctors in Toronto will be surprised.

    It is very sunny here in Tijuana. I saw dolphins always when I go to the beach early morning. I will miss here.

    Anyway, have a good weekend!

    Best regards,
    Yoshiko

  2. Hi Tamara,

    Yes, go ahead. I wouldn't mind to add it to the blog.

    Although I still have the small lump on my left breast (which might be the one malignant), but all big lumps are now gone.

    I am scheduled to get an ultrasound on Wednesday. The tumour may be still there, but who knows it might have become benign (I hope).

    This morning, Denise left the clinic. It is so sad to see her gone. I know all of us have our own lives and destiny, but an occasion like this always remind me that nothing is by coincident or by accident. When I am reminded this, I am always in awe of the greatness of being myself on the earth's sojourn and could not stop thinking of the greatness of the heavenly forces and the meaning of my homework on this sojourn...and glad and happy, and at the same time yawning to go back to Home (the heaven, I mean).

    I know it is still not my time to go Home because I feel that I still have a few more homework to do on this sojourn, but I sometimes become homesick, you know.

    Well, that's all for now. Have a nice afternoon.

    Yoshiko
