I REALISED MINDSET HAD A BIG PART TO PLAY IN MY HEALING JOURNEY!

One of the questions that I was asked when I started going down the path of other ways to heal was “Why do you think you have cancer?”.

An odd question, it made me cross actually – INDIGNANT!

“What do you mean? How would I know?”

BUT, when you start looking into what Cancer is there are tell tale signs and many of them are emotional.

There are key points in your life that may have triggered this process, 2 – 5 years prior to you detecting the cancer.

A near death experience, loss of a loved one, a divorce, a house move, loss of a job and a host of other life changing events, due to high stress, anxiety, fea.r

Bruce H. Lipton in his book – Biology of Belief – discusses the “INTERACTION BETWEEN YOUR MIND AND BODY and the process by which cells receive INFORMATION”

Many of us, including me at this time do not give enough thought to this process and how it can affect our physical health.

This was an aspect I have worked on myself a LOT, meditations, visualisations, listening to healing isochronic sounds, monaural and binaural beats.

I used to visualise my immune system as a BLACK ROD running vertically down my body, through my heart, several times, every single day. I would visualise this rod getting stronger.

I would believe that all the healthy food I was eating made this stronger, that this stronger black rod would start killing off the cancer cells.

I used to walk along the beach with the waves crashing down around me singing at he top of my voice…

“I am healing, I am healing, I am healing, this cancer away, no more cancer, no more cancer, all is well with me today”

Once in Spain I began to Sort My Life Out

by | May 11, 2023 | Uncategorized

I arrived in Spain at 3.00am. Drank a Gin & Tonic on the beach and knew it would be MY LAST in a very long time.

If I wasn’t going back for the prescribed treatment for breast cancer I needed to come up with A PLAN.

WHERE TO START?

Cancer is a systemic disease, so it makes sense to look at the whole body, not just the tumour – that was my BELIEF.

I still had to start SOMEWHERE and the most logical place was FOOD.

That much quoted saying by Hippocrates in 460 BC

“Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food”

MUST have some truth in it, I began my research and my DETOX.

I stripped out everything I found that was linked to cancer. All animal products, including dairy, eggs, coffee & tea – I loved my tea with milk & sugar. Processed sugar, ALCOHOL – as a daily drinker this was really TOUGH. This was proving really hard and every ounce of my WILL POWER was being put to the test.

I started experiencing DETOX symptoms very quickly, banging headaches, nausea, anger, frustration, POOR ME, cravings – especially for the BUILDERS TEA!

Everything I put in my mouth I Googled to see whether it was good for cancer or bad for cancer.

I made teas from fresh herbs and ginger & lemon, I drank water, I didn’t get dressed for days, wandered about the apartment in my pyjamas, I was so ANTI SOCIAL!

I wasn’t a huge fan of the world at that moment in time!

10 weeks I did this for, day in, day out.

No Cheating!

I began to realise that along with food, I needed to work on my MINDSET… So that’s what I did next

A Bed Day is Sometimes Needed to Reflect

by | May 11, 2023 | Uncategorized

As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will UNDERSTAND … It is NEVER far away in your mind.

Healing without conventional support for me means I have to BE ON MY ‘A’ GAME all the time.

It is Spring and time for an internal SPRING CLEAN, around this time each year I have a whole raft of tests to ensure that everything I am doing still keeps ME healthy and well … I am 5 ½ YEARS out from my original diagnosis.

Blood tests, thermography, tighten up the diet.

Spring is a good time for this as it is a time for regeneration, the outside world is REGENERATING. so you also need to REGENERATE YOUR INNER WORLD.

TWO years ago I took an informed decision to restart some form of HRT … I wasn’t doing too well physically and emotionally, I needed a boost.

Not usually prescribed for breast cancer, BUT I have been feeling wonderful, back to my old self, brain fog gone and energy levels high.

QUALITY OF LIFE IS SO IMPORTANT!

This year’s blood test came back SPOT ON.

I am due a thermography in April, nothing of concern to be seen, I decided to add a new ‘top of its game genetic test’ into my portfolio – the RGCC test, or Greek test as it is also known. It measures circulating tumour cells and stem cells in your blood.

Most of us have them, our body is designed to kill them, my level was just slightly higher than the normal ideal range.

CAN YOU IMAGINE THE FEAR THAT JUMPED INTO MY BODY?

Have I made a mistake restarting HRT – the level is not shouting out that the original cancer has gone rogue, but it needs my total focus and consideration.

WHAT TO DO NOW?

The plan is to TIGHTEN up my protocol, add in the NATURAL supplements recommended by the RGCC test to kill new blood supplies that the cells may set up, block any cancer cells from up taking the oestrogen that MY body is making to keep me feeling well.

An 18 week rotating programme of supplements, repeat after that, THEN IN 6 MONTHS TIME, I will RETEST the circulating tumour cells, if the number is the same or dropped I am on THE right path.

I do not have a baseline for my personal blood analysis as I have not done this test before. If they have gone up – I WILL NOT panic, I will review everything again and consider stopping the HRT, then researching again what my next step will be.

Nothing happens overnight!

MINDSET, KNOWLEDGE, AND INFORMED DECISIONS WIN THE DAY

I may just stay in bed today, meditate, relax, order the required supplements, and 100% truly believe…

THAT ALL IS WELL IN MY INNER WORLD!

Other People’s Reactions to Your Cancer Diagnosis

by | May 11, 2023 | Uncategorized

The reactions of those around you when you tell them you have CANCER.

This was a revelation to me.

I joked that I was taking one for the team dark humour – it appealed to me!

All the opinions of others regarding what was going on in MY body.

Everyone was suddenly the EXPERT… “Do this”, “you must do that”, “FFS get it cut out” plastered all over my social media, “Oh, you most definitely CAN’T DO THAT, do you want to DIE?”

I don’t think that anyone expects to get a cancer diagnosis, it just isn’t on our radar, it is something that happens to somebody else.

So when it is YOU, you just sit there … in disbelief.

Are they talking to me? Surely not?

How can you tell me what to do when I don’t know myself what to do?

How can I think with all this noise around me? Why must I act so fast …

You are scaring me, run far away, far away from the opinions of others.

Regroup, be tender, be kind to YOURSELF, try not to be SCARED, I read that the FEAR doesn’t help, stress causes an inflammatory response, not good for an already sick body.

I read that 1 in 2 people born after 1960 will have some sort of cancer diagnosis in their lifetime.

But I didn’t think that I would be the 1 in 2!

How my life went from super fit to super unwell….

by | May 11, 2023 | Uncategorized

It was June 2015, I needed a holiday … I was working too hard.

I had found a yoga/juice fast retreat in Portugal, I really wanted to go. I couldn’t really afford it.

So, I SOLD ALL MY GOLD!

And I went … it was awesome, I felt the FITTEST I had been for a very long time.

Fast forward to 28th December, I started feeling really ill, sick, in pain.

Fast forward to May 2016, my mother found me COLLAPSED in bed.

Emergency ambulance to the hospital, one month later I left the hospital.

3 days Intensive Care, Sepsis, a burst APPENDIX.

A long slow road to recovery, I nearly died, in fact I was lucky to SURVIVE.

Fast forward to November 2017, a breast cancer diagnosis.

But the universe hadn’t finished there, I had a succession of painful scary illnesses…

Basal cell carcinoma on my face … 20 stitches.
Two incredibly painful frozen shoulders – each took 2 years to start resolving.
March 2022, an operation on my hand – this gave me CRPS … Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome and my fingers won’t work properly now.
And lately in December 2022, Trigeminal Neuralgia in my jaw – Excruciating!

It is now March 2023 and I am determined…

NO MORE ILLNESS

What this is highlighting is that I need to WORK more on my emotional and spiritual health.

We totally UNDERESTIMATE the role our mental health plays in our physical health.

I am searching for some new keys to UNLOCK what I am missing on this Journey.

New mentors are coming in …

My intention for 2023 is to be a WHOLE person.

Not to leave any part of ME out of the equation.

Life was really good!

by | May 11, 2023 | Uncategorized

The day I discovered the lump… LIFE was GOOD, really good.

I had sold my business and was living the high life.

Time for me at last.

Not a care in the world.

A river cruise in Portugal, glamping in the wilds, a couple of trips to America, a long road trip through France and Spain at the planning stage.

I DESERVED THIS, life was sweet

UNTIL …. One night laying in bed watching TV, I got an itch on my chest.

When I scratched the itch a FLEETING thought, Went through my MIND… Did I feel something?

Was that a LUMP?

Of course not was my first reaction!

I went on watching TV, then my hand crept back … to see if I could find it again.

AND I DID!

A feeling of fright coursed through my body.

I don’t want to think about it.

You must.

In the morning was my conclusion.

I ignored the lump for about 2 months!

SILLY I KNOW … head in the sand, my friends were getting mad at me.

GO GET IT CHECKED OUT.

So I did.

3 needle biopsies, 1 mammogram, 1 ultrasound, 1 titanium tag inserted.

PAINFUL – I nearly fainted.

10 days later, you have BREAST CANCER!

“Everything was going so well.”

“Why me?”

“I thought that’s it, my life is over”

THESE Were just some of the reactions I felt when I discovered I had Stage 1, Grade 3 triple positive breast cancer.

I remember the fear was overwhelming.

I was absolutely terrified… full of uncertainty about the future.

I even disappeared to Paris as I could not be around anybody.

For a moment my mind did not comprehend what was going on.

Then sitting in a cafe drinking wine it hit me like a ton of bricks…..

Was this it?

How was I going to fight this?

Was surgery & months of chemo/radiation waiting on my return?

Ridiculous as it sounds I remember I really didn’t want to lose my hair or experience weeks or months of nausea and exhaustion.

I felt DEEP DOWN that there had to be something else.

Something that I had missed in the media.

Something away from the 100% conventional approach.

Something that wasn’t termed a ‘battle’

More of a HEALING process.

I knew that the majority of cancers didn’t just “appear” overnight.

I had read that 70-85% of cancers were put down to lifestyle choices and environmental issues.

If I was going to give myself the best possible outcome I knew that a holistic approach was urgently needed.

WORK on my mindset & diet.

WORK on educating myself about all that was out there to find.

ALLOWING my body to start healing itself.

(BIG DISCLAIMER …I’m not against traditional cancer therapies, many people are alive today that would not be)

BUT, as I have discovered, your best DEFENCE is knowledge

Your second best DEFENCE is to start healing your body to give yourself the best possible outcome of surviving.

I would Love to know what YOUR reaction was to such devastating news

Can you Help me Please? Beta Testers Required

Can we help each other?

A Cancer Diagnosis

A cancer diagnosis is not something to be taken lightly, it is a frightening turn of events in anyone’s life, and my heading in this blog is not making light of anyone in this situation. Just maybe I can help you?

After a triple positive breast cancer diagnosis in November 2017 surprised me more than words can ever express, I decided to make myself my project and look into ways of dealing with this diagnosis. I found an amazing amount of available information surrounding cancer and other ways of coping with this disease that didn’t just focus on the conventional forms of treatment.

I know that looking at cancer from a different perspective from the mainstream treatments of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and relative drugs is often frowned upon, treated as irrelevant and we are maybe discouraged from approaching our healing path this way, and I totally get this.

However, if you could read a document that gave you information, books and research papers to read, that was based around one person’s true experience of dealing with breast cancer, would you at least consider having a look and seeing what may benefit you too along your decision making process? This is not about changing your mind, or trying to persuade you to do something you don’t believe in. It is about informing you of what else is out there, what may help benefit you along your healing path whatever treatment plan you choose.

I am nearly five years out from my diagnosis and I thought it was time to share what I have learnt over this time. I understand that you may be sceptical, but if you are in this position would you consider engaging in my programme? I am running a 50% reduction in the programme price for 9 people to come on board and experience the full programme. All I would ask of you is for your genuine comments, reviews, or testimonials. Perhaps we might help someone else along the way who just needed a little more information, to help take away the fear.
