Bringing Up Bates:\u00a0<\/em>Esther Bates Shares New Update Regarding Cancer<\/h3>\n

Sadly, Esther\u2019s sister-in-law, Joanna Keyes, is battling breast cancer. She reportedly discovered\u00a0the tumor while breastfeeding her infant child. It was deemed stage 4 and already spread to her femur and spine. She\u2019s currently undergoing intensive treatment. Keep reading to find out if there have been any positive results from treatment and any positive news for the Keyes family.<\/p>\n

Esther Bates is close to her family, and her brother David\u2019s family is going\u00a0through an extremely\u00a0challenging time.\u00a0 Joanna is in Florida as she bravely battles breast cancer. Unfortunately, Dave, who is employed by a roofing company, was forced to stay behind in Pennsylvania to continue working to\u00a0support his family\u00a0in every way he can. They were lucky and found a clinic in Florida that specializes in holistic and conventional cancer treatment. However, sadly, insurance does not cover the treatment.<\/p>\n

Joanna has family and friends rallying behind her to help with taking care of the children while she undergoes ten weeks of intense treatment. They were able to secure an Airbnb large enough so that their family could all be together during this rough and uncertain time. A GoFundMe was set up to help the family be able to afford the rental and all the expenses that come with being away from home. They have already taken out a second mortgage on their home to help cover expenses and treatment.<\/p>\n

She said, \u201cLittle update, week 3 finished with\u00a0very positive news, Jesus is truly healing me through these treatments! The OGSUBQ treatment, injecting Oxygenated glycerine directly into the tumor (directly with a shot of insulin to open the cancer cells as they\u2019re then starving for sugar) and that glycerine then attacks those vulnerable cells!!!!! My tumor has shrunk after ONE TREATMENT, the doctor was thrilled with my body\u2019s response!!!! I\u2019ll have weekly injections now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joanna went on to say that her next phase is the best option for treating cancer of the bone. She said she will be undergoing \u201chyperthermia treatments\u00a0where they sedate\u00a0me and I sit, supervised by a nurse the entire time, with my body at 104 degrees for 3-4 hours. I will just go to bed on those days afterwards. This is the most intense and aggressive of treatments but HIGHLY effective in killing any cancer of the bone!!!\u201d<\/p>\n
