Ju — A Breast Cancer Survivor Of Twelve Years And Still Going Strong
Ju, a thirty-six year old lady, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1995. She had a lumpectomy. Ju’s cancer was at an early stage but to be sure, the doctor suggested that Ju underwent a mastectomy — a total removal of her right breast. Ju declined and did not see her doctor ever again. She did not receive any chemotherapy, radiotherapy or hormonal therapy either. She decided to seek alternative healing methods. To many people in the West, what Ju did was sheer “madness” and for anyone to suggest forsaking conventional medical treatment as in her case might even be regarded as an irresponsible “criminal act”.
