Trauma at the Border is a true story of resilience in the face of devastating pain, a journey of fear, faith, hope, and love in the midst of unforeseen obstacles. When they were told nothing, more could be done for her husband's stage 4 brain cancer, Bernadette refused to accept that. Going beyond conventional medicine to treat her husband, she sought and found alternative treatments in Tijuana, Mexico. This book not only details the search and determination to find answers to incorporate both conventional and alternative cancer treatments, but also tells an unimaginable story of corruption, drug trafficking, strength, and, ultimately, peace. Bernadette never dreamed of or was prepared for the "What ifs." What she did learn along this road is that while fear is the absence of hope, hope is the presence of love.
