“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”
I have asked myself many times IS there any truth in this saying?
What do YOU think?
I think personally that there is great truth in this. I have faced near certain death and also a possible death if I didn’t take action.
The first was an UNDIAGNOSED BURST APPENDIX
In May 2016, Which according to the specialists I was lucky to have survived. If it had been in the 1950’s I would NOT have made it through, they said.
On the insistence of my son, a blood transfusion saved the day.
The second was a TRIPLE POSITIVE BREAST CANCER diagnosis in November 2017.
SIX YEARS AGO NOW.
Wooooooooo Hoooooooo!!!
It has been a long journey back to Health with these 2 bad boys jumping Nastily into my life!
The challenges have been monumental….
The tears have been like rivers crashing down the ravine ….
Trying to squash every ounce Of positivity out of me …
The dark days full of dread, the sorrow, the Victim mode, the ‘WHY ME? IT’S NOT FAIR’
But tell me, when was life ever fair?
I have learnt a lot about the HUMAN WILL to live … it doesn’t give up easily.
In fact it is so bloody minded it can keep YOU going on the smallest thread of “Oh OK if you insist, I won’t die today”….
So what do you do when faced with this direct Challenge?
Do you roll over and give-up?
Some do.
Or do you stand up and be Accountable to YOURSELF?
I chose to be accountable for MYSELF And truly believed that I could find a way through Both regaining my strength from the sepsis of the Appendix and finding a way to heal the breast cancer without ending up back in hospital.
I am not against conventional treatment, it Saved my life, but I SIMPLY COULDN’T FACE any more hospital time, so set about RESEARCHING Healing myself naturally.
It took will power, a fanatical BELIEF THAT I COULD DO IT, an unwavering, some would say CRAZY, single mindedness that I would SUCCEED.
And guess what? I did succeed.
My life is so different from the life I had in 2016.
It may be cheesy to say that it is flourishing.
Great new friends, great new life, great new beliefs.
I practice GRATITUDE daily, meditate and exercise.
I eat healthily, add in alternative therapies that Facilitate healing ….
You may say to yourself that It is impossible for you to do the same – that I was fortunate – BUT NO, as with all things there is a Formula to success.
HEALTH IS NO DIFFERENT.
You just have to follow the path and make sure you include all the little side paths that may be covered up in brambles, seek them out and they lead you to amazing places.
So on 17th November 2023 I really did say:
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
