It was 1983 when Marlene Mckenna first noticed a suspicious mole growing on her back. Her doctor removed the growth and testing confirmed that it was a melanomic lesion. She had a second surgery a few months later to excise a lump from her neck and once again the pathology reports indicated that it contained melanoma cells. Then, In 1986, she began feeling weak and complained of severe stomach pain, accompanied by significant weight loss. Doctors performed another surgery to remove 5 malignant tumors and 20 centimeters of her small bowel, but they failed to remove all of the cancer from the area. At this point, chemotherapy was recommended and Marlene was given only 9 months to live

Marlene McKenna heals from malignant melanoma with a macrobiotic diet
She says she first heard of using macrobiotics to heal cancer from her brother, and then they both traveled to the office of Macrobiotic Counselor, Dr Marc VanCauwenberghe, to learn more about using this healing diet. She says she was hesitant at first and doubtful that anything would help her, let alone something as simple as following a diet, but she began incorporating the macrobiotics diet on May 1, 1986 and she reports that her condition began improving within a few months. Marlene gradually regained her strength and her overall health continued to improved and in 1988 she was officially pronounced to be cancer free.
Exercise, yoga, meditation, and spirituality were all integrated into her new lifestyle and she says that she learned to slow down and was able to change her fast-paced, negative-thinking lifestyle into a more positive one. A few years later she ran for State Treasurer of Rhode Island, safely gave birth to her fourth child and wrote a book about her journey back to health which is titled When Hope Never Dies: The Story Of My Recovery From Cancer And The Program I Used To Heal Myself
