Aggressive Stage 4 Breast Cancer – Now Clear!
I’m updating my first review, because after my visit for back pain, I soon discovered that my breast cancer had returned after 5 years and I was given a diagnosis of Stage 4 with metastasis to bone. It was a mutation of my original cancer, now ER+/HER2+ and the biopsy showed it was an aggressive form.
The regular oncologist told me “now that you’re Stage 4, we’re not looking to get rid of the cancer, just to slow it down so you can have a good quality of life for as long as you have.” I hated that. I wanted to get rid of the cancer entirely.
It was a very scary diagnosis, but I knew that I wanted to go to Dr. Minkoff and LifeWorks. There, they listened to me and agreed to approach the cancer with treatment to get rid of it, not just slow it down.
The tumor was removed through surgery and I had a spinal fusion. I started treatment immediately at LifeWorks to handle the remaining cancer and prevent any spread. I uncovered the real cause of the cancer through the testing they did which was the most thorough I’ve had.
It gave me answers I never had before and real solutions. I did an RGCC test which showed exactly which agents would kill the cancer cells so we weren’t “guessing” or using some “one-sized-fits-all” treatment plan.
I did IPT, nutritional treatments, followed a diet plan and the recommended HOCATT, HBOT, and other therapies as well. The IVs I did were based on the RGCC test results so we knew they were working.
The great news!! Yesterday, I had a 5-month follow-up CT Scan with barium and contrast and it was all CLEAR as was the circulating tumor DNA test.
I couldn’t be happier.
More than that, I actually feel amazing at 52! Better than I have for decades.
When I had cancer the first time, I did conventional treatments and it took me nearly 2 years to feel like myself again. This was so much better.
People often randomly complement me on how good I look, how my skin is glowing and how healthy I look. I have more energy now than ever.
I’ll continue with LifeWorks for the rest of my life for prevention and body “hacking” and feel confident the cancer is truly resolved.
I’m very grateful to everyone there. It is quite the operation. All the doctors are experienced MDs with vast experience. The staff are very supportive, kind and loving. The first two months were challenging for me after surgery and diagnosis and they helped me through it, helping me recover, have faith, do the treatments and get well.
I’m now cancer free, which is truly a miracle.
I highly recommend anyone with cancer go to LifeWorks. They have the most therapies I’ve seen anywhere for cancer, including hyperthermia and IPT. They aren’t just providing “supportive” care to cancer patients, they are providing real treatments to improve your health and treat the cancer.
I also love that LifeWork’s practitioners are MDs who are expert at integrative care. It’s hard to find. Many “integrative” places are run by chiropractors or nurses who don’t have near the experience, expertise or ability to offer a thorough treatment plan or therapies such as IPT.

Review After My First Treatment at LifeWorks
I started just had my first treatment at LifeWorks and it was truly life-changing. I had terrible sciatic pain, have been doing physical therapy and it was only getting worse. I went in for a Prolozone treatment and Karima was amazing. She was very informative and my sciatic pain was immediately resolved with the treatment. I’m still amazed. I went from a pain level of 10/10 to no pain at all. Last night was the first night I slept through the night with no pain.
