“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
