Jerome was diagnosed with muscle invasive bladder cancer on January 29, 1997. The diagnosis was based on a transurethral resection surgery. Having done his research, he contacted a doctor at Harvard and Mass General Hospital about a clinical trial for a bladder sparing protocol. To Jermoe’s surprise, Dr.Shipley called back and shared the protocol with Jerome’s medical team and the treatment began a couple of weeks later. The treatment involved chemotherapy in conjunction with radiation therapy. Jerome experienced several recurrences over the years, each time treating them with surgery and infusions. In 2018 a recurrence involved hospitalization and tubes were placed in each kidney. This time Jerome was faced with a decision to have a radical cystectomy or given the choice to do immunotherapy. By 2019 there was little evidence of bladder cancer and infusions continued, with no side effects. He still has a tube in one kidney and is otherwise thriving! email: [email protected]: 415-299-0428website: www.mountainsangha.org Book: Healing with the 7 Principles of Mindfulness, by Jerome FreedmanHere is what Dr. Kelly Turner, PhD has to say about Healing with the 7 Principles of Mindfulness: “Dr. Freedman speaks from experience, both as a cancer survivor himself, and the father of a Radical Remission cancer survivor.

Before her diagnosis, Melinda Nelson was a plant-based health coach, avid organic juicer, triathlete, and yogi. At 32, she was diagnosed with adrenocortical carcinoma, a rare, one-in-a-million cancer with only one FDA-approved treatment. She found motivation and inspiration in the documentary Heal, which she played on repeat as she fell asleep. After surgery to remove a cortisol-secreting, 24-centimeter adrenal tumor, she started treatment but experienced recurrence in her spine, hips, shoulder, lungs, and liver, leading her to pursue multiple treatments and procedures with a dedicated team of specialists. Her tumors have remained stable and inactive since November 2022, and she continues to support her well-being through complementary practices such as acupuncture, hypnotherapy, and sound baths. In 2024, Melinda became a founding member and vice president of Adrenal Cure Collective, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing adrenal cancer research, and she now co-hosts Talk Cancer to Me, a podcast exploring the realities of life with cancer beyond oncology appointments. adrenalcurecollective.orgTiktok and Instagram: @MelindacnelsonTalk Cancer to Me PodcastRadical Remission DocuseriesTrailer to Heal Documentary _________

Judi was first diagnosed with Stage 1 Endometrial Carcinoma in 2011 after undergoing a hysterectomy. Because no additional treatment was recommended at that time, she was monitored through observation and was declared cancer free five years later. One year later, in 2017, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Low Grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma (LGESS), which had not been identified during her original hysterectomy. By that time, the cancer had seeded throughout her abdomen. Since 2017, Judi has been actively treated with various systemic hormone therapies and the disease has remained stable. The Radical Remission factors helped her feel less alone and more grounded throughout her cancer journey. As challenges arose, she incorporated all the healing factors into her daily life at various times, using them to navigate the ups and downs with greater resilience, hope, and intention. These factors continue to provide a meaningful framework for daily living and aging gracefully. _____________________
