“They gave me a death sentence. I chose something else.”

When Jerald Wilks was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, doctors told him he had just months to live without chemotherapy. The prognosis was grim—and the pressure to start conventional treatment was immediate.

But Jerald paused.

With the support of his wife and integrative doctor, he began searching for alternatives. That search led him to Heal Navigator, who helped him compare vetted clinics offering immune-supportive, whole-person care.

Now, over two years later, Jerald is thriving with no evidence of disease.

In this powerful and emotional episode, Jerald shares:

  • What it feels like to be handed a death sentence — and say “no”
  • How he navigated an overwhelming sea of options
  • What gave him the confidence to choose a different path
  • How he’s now helping others face the same crossroads with more clarity and hope

If you're questioning your next step — or feeling alone in this process — Jerald’s story might be exactly what you need to hear today.

👇 And come say hi in the Heal Navigator Facebook group — you’ll find Jerald there, sharing his experience and offering support. https://www.facebook.com/groups/HealNavigator/
