Diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer that had metastasized to her brain, Diana was told by her doctor that she had no more than six months to live, no matter what she did. That prognosis became the push she needed to search for other options. After first trying acupuncture and watching her tumor continue to grow, she reached out to Immunity Therapy Center. What stood out to her immediately was ITC’s honesty about her case — she was, at that time, a candidate for brain surgery — and the human warmth she felt from the very first call. “Here at ITC you feel treated from the start like a person, like a human being,” she shared, a stark contrast to the “just another number” feeling she’d experienced at other hospitals.
Diana underwent brain surgery and completed a three-week extended treatment program with Dr. Bautista and Dr. Alvarez, who worked together on her case and cared as much about her emotional wellbeing as her physical recovery — even supporting her husband through the process alongside her. Just eight months after her terminal diagnosis, her PET scan showed her brain was completely clear and her lung tumor had shrunk to just 1 centimeter. She returned for follow-up treatment the next year, and this year — her third year at ITC — marks what she calls her “graduation,” following her final radiosurgery on that last centimeter in January. Diana credits ITC’s daily doctor check-ins, personalized dosing, and psychological and physical support team for helping her feel seen and cared for every step of the way. Diagnosed in October 2023, she’s now awaiting her final PET scan results, more hopeful than ever.
