For One of Our Ownby Kathleen O'Keefe-KanavosIn January of 2011, one of Cape Cod's daughters who was born and raised in Yarmouth, was diagnosed with recurrent breast cancer that had metastasized into Stage 4 bone cancer. Parris Bauer had no hope for healing from the medical community. However, she refused to believe her oncologist when he said, "Your condition is terminal. We have no drugs or therapy to help you. Go home to Cape Cod and be close to your family." Parris began researching alternative therapy and decided to start Dr. Max Gerson's Therapy in March 2011 http://www.gerson.org/. It has been an amazing journey. |
