Very Important. Please Read.......................
Hey Guys,
I realize that a great many of you are already on my Facebook Page and rarely check in over here, however for those of you that still do, please read this and pass it on to every woman you know (and ask her to do the same).
I know that most of you realize that I am battling two forms of cancer (one is extremely rare and aggressive). I did Flo DiBona's Show this past Monday for a reason. I really wanted to get a message out there to all of you who may be touched one day by this monstrous cancer. I wanted you to know the early warning signs. The two deadliest forms of Breast Cancer are two types that doctors rarely discuss or even warn women about. One of those cancers is the main reason my prognosis is so poor. The past 7 months have been intense, painful, and heartbreaking but I am a fighter. I really am doing all I can to beat this. If my efforts buy me a little more time, than it was well worth it. Either way, it's very important to me that women stop, have a listen to the show, and look for the signs I've gone over at the beginning of this show (if you would rather read my columns reposted here instead, do whatever you feel more comfortable in doing). Knowing these signs could one day save your life (or the life of someone you love).
John was a surprise appearance on the show with me as well. We have reconnected and he has been there with me through all the surgeries, the fear and heartbreak, and all the joy as well. There's been a lot of joy too. I am truly blessed to have such lovely fans and friends out there who have stood by me every step of the way encouraging me to live and to focus only on those things that can heal me. Some of the actors out there have been just incredible. A special shout out to my beloved Cat (Catherine Hickland) who continues to inspire me to fight and focus only on the positives right now (and there are many). God bless all of you for your continued love and support throughout all of this. I was thinking about what measures a persons success the other day and realized that I am very successful and never needed more than what I have today. If we leave this earth having touched even one person, our lives meant something. If we can truly help even one person, expecting nothing in return, we have made our mark here on this earth. The kindness and love that we have shown others never truly dies. Those memories live on long after we are gone.
A big thank you going out to my beloved John who sat with me through the aftermath of the Mastectomy and through every surgery and painful Oncology visit that followed. I am truly blessed to have you in my life. I thank God every day that I saw the light when it came to us. The Good lord in his own way was trying to spare me from something that would been a train wreck leaving me all alone at a time like this. I would have been one of many that he discarded and threw away. You were the real deal and stood by me through everything. I love you........
I am posting a link to the show from Monday (just click on episode number ten and turn the volume up).
I am also reposting a few important columns that chronicled the beginning of all this as it has some key information in there that might help someone else one day. I was in tears when I learned that this information has already helped three women that I know of. If it helped even one woman, it was worth exposing a vein. May God always hold you in his hands and keep you from harm. May you be blessed and live a long and happy life.
I love you guys and hope each one of you has a beautiful weekend! XOXO! ♥♥♥
I leave you with a few quotes that are near and dear to me.
These were the lovely bones that had grown around my absence: the connections — sometimes tenuous, sometimes made at great cost, but often magnificent — that happened after I was gone. And I began to see things in a way that let me hold the world without me in it. "The Lovely Bones"
If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn. People die. But real love is forever.. "The Crow"
It Can't rain all the time "The Crow"
My appearance on Flo DiBona's show from this past Monday (click on episode 10, and turn the volume up). Cat called in to surprise me! She had her new baby goose, her dog, her man, and her parrot with her in the car! LOL! :

Re: Very Important. Please Read....................... -- Laura C (So glad to hear from you), 11:05:11 06/04/12 Mon [1]
I'm so glad to hear from you again. I did listen to the show and am amazed at your determination to help women. You sounded so strong and certain of your path. I'd like to think I could be as brave and determined of a spirit as you are. It never ceases to amaze me that what started with a simple need to surf spoilers became something so much bigger for me, well, for many of us fans, I'm sure! Have a great week! I will continue to check in faithfully daily for any ounce of news on any and all things Raven!

You have probably saved countless lives here. I've been a fan of yours for many years. You are a very special woman. I listened to the broadcast and love your voice! One of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard! I have been told that you are incredibly beautiful in real life too but I can't seem to get on your FB. I know you said you were at your limit. Please know that we are all praying for you. Never give up Raven. No matter what the doctors tell you. You have won the hearts of thousands of fans over the years. You deserve a miracle. What you are doing here is a very beautiful thing.
Bless your heart for all you do.

I am grateful that I have come to know such a brave, beautiful person, who is so willing to share her knowledge, pain, joy...sharing so much of yourself to we who were strangers and now consider you a beloved friend. Be well.
P.S. I read The Lovely Bones a few times and gifted it to many, including my teenage daughter. Just love it.

Re: Very Important. Please Read....................... -- Your biggest fan!!, 14:33:59 06/03/12 Sun [1]
Raven,
I have been your fan since the beginning. You always gave us the juiciest scoops. You have always been fearless and gone where others fear to tread. You haven't always been correct but then again you've never played it SAFE. You always got the big ones throughout the years. The unforgettable ones always came from You. You do it in a fun and saucy way. You dish like no other out there. YOUR style is unmistakably YOURS and no one else's! It's why people have copied YOUR scoops word for word repeatedly. There is only ONE Ravenbeauty out there. You have so much love and adoration that it has created a lot of jealousy out there over the years. They want what you have and can't have it. That's because you are so incredibly special. You are the real deal. You are a class act. You've been a class act from the beginning.
When I don't think I can love you any more than I already do, you come forward with a very painful and personal situation that has touched so many lives deeply. I read all your updates and my heart just breaks. You've been painfully honest and graphic in what you've shared and that's probably helped more women than you know (as you said most of your fans are on facebook and not everyone will even post out here). They read what you have to say Raven. Please know that your message is getting out there. God bless you for what you have done. You took a painful and scary situation and used it to help others. As sick as it may sound it has made those mentally ill people out there even angrier. They don't even get what life is all about. They will go through their whole lives hurting others while you were put on this earth as a healer.
Never stop doing what you love. Never let anyone make you feel bad about being who you are. Never let anyone take what we love about you away. Never settle for what the doctors tell you. Never assume you will die. You may surprise us all yet.
Please do not give up the fight. We love you Raven. You have the love of thousands of people for a reason. Never forget we are here for you always! XO!

Dear Raven,
Thanks for sharing such a personal part of your life with us. I attended a party yesterday and my 2 sisters and many female friends were there and I told them your story, hoping that they will check themselves and be cautious. It's important for men to get the word out to the women that they love.

It was so good to hear from you here (I'm no longer on Facebook so I have to look here for your news).
You continue to amaze!
I'm glad you have someone strong for you (although I don't know who John is I suspect he is an old boyfriend meant to come back into your life).
Please keep us updated with what we pray will be your continued progress for a long, long time.

Facebook Updates................................ -- Ravenbeauty, 19:40:35 06/06/12 Wed [1]
Hey Guys,
Just checking in here since I managed to worry all of my guardian angels out here. I love you guys. God bless you for worrying, but I'm OK. Had a bit of a setback with pain issues, but I'm feeling a little better. Whenever you get pain that comes on suddenly and lasts for a while, your mind races wondering if it's because the cancer has spread to that area. I am going in for a new PET Scan in mid July so I guess I will know more then. This "take ten steps forward" and "twenty steps back" thing can make you crazy sometimes. Hanging in here. Sending you so many hugs for all the well wishes. Thank you! :) ♥
I've been asked this before, but I always forget to gather a complete list of what I am taking now to beat this. It's a very powerful regimen that contains many very promising supplements and although I do get some headaches and nausea, nowhere near what I would get with chemo! This is what I am taking (and doing) daily......
PawPaw
Pau D' Arco
ESSIAC Tea.
Maitake Mushroom
Reishi Mushroom
CordyCeps
Green Magma
Cinnamon
Blessed Milk Thistle
Dandelion
Reservatol
Graviola
Chlorella
Fucoidan
Larger doses of Vitamin D
Mangosteen, Noni, and Wolfberry juices.
Low dose Aspirin (2-81mg's per day).
Heavy juicing of organic vegetables and some fruits.
Teaspoon and a half of Aluminum free baking Soda per day in water for more alkalinity.
Lots of praying and trying to think positive. Visual work. White light.
I've cut off cancer's main food supply by eliminating almost all sugar. The only sugar I give it is laced with poison for cancer cells (such as Carrots, Beets, etc).
Dark chocolate sweetened only with Stevia when I get a chocolate craving. Stevia is the only one allowed on most anti cancer diets and it will not harm you. Coco Polo makes an amazing one with dried cherries! :)
On a soapy note.........
Remember what I told you back in January long before this thing began playing out on our screens......
From 1/10/12:
Look for a twist in Sam's pregnancy storyline (don't worry, it's a short term thing).
Facebook Update from 1/23/12:
Brace yourself for the ride. I told you that there would be some twists in the JaSam arc soon to be named "Paternity Row" however all is not what it appears to be (they may be using the same reliable testing facility that OLTL used). Need I say more?
ALL IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS.........................
P.S. As I said last Thursday out here in a response to a fans post, the drains are now unclogged and two major favorites are returning after all. Both got seriously held up by things completely out of our control. One male and one MAJOR female.....
And a short revisit of my now infamous "And The Dead Shall Rise Again" from a January update for what lies ahead at GH! You guys aint seen nothing yet! :)

Re: Facebook Updates................................ -- Silent-Until-Now, 23:24:58 06/06/12 Wed [1]
So GOOD to hear from you! Glad to hear you're feeling some better. Thank you for sharing your treatment regimen. Some of your multitude of friends may need that information now, and some may need it at a later time. Once again your actions spread tremendous help and positivity to others. Continuing to pray for you and sending YOU positive energy.

At the risk of repeating myself, Raven, just keep doing what you're doing because you sound like you're on top of things here. I don't think there's anyone who's ever been more of a trooper!
Thinking of you always and sending best wishes!
Angela

Re: Very Important. Please Read....................... -- John, 14:22:40 06/09/12 Sat [1]
Ravenbeauty,
You are the fewest and most courageous folks out there that are facing a major battle with cancer. I hate cancer. Its impacted my family and friends. So many great people taken. I do pray for your miracle. You've been through so much. Hearing you on the radio show, your spirit and how you are handling this situation is really amazing. I think in the darkest moments in life, these are the times you have to keep positive and somehow get through it. So, I hope you get great news on your PET scan. I hope the experimental stuff you are trying works. I will pray for your miracle. Your too good of a person to leave us.
By the way, the columns you've provided on GH and others soaps..All the updates have been outstanding. I can't say enough of all the great information you posted over the years. Excellent work. Alrighty, you take care. We are all pulling for your miracle.
There's one great tune GH use to play back in 85.. Its one that Tangerine Dream produced. Just listen to Walkabout (7:10). Music can be very powerful and really helps in times like this.. Hope you can check it out..
