I have always resisted watching this – likely because I did many of those hideous, disfiguring and barbaric treatments and somehow I didn’t want it all to be for nothing. However, if this helps, inspires or saves just one person then it is worth it. I’ve signed up for this 9 day series – won’t […]
http://drsircus.com/iodine/iodine-breast-cancer-treatment/ I know for me empowerment is key in my cancer journey. Everything I read doesn’t resonate with me but I know that traditional medicine alone is not how I chose to do this journey. With that in mind I would like to share a post from a fellow breast cancer traveller who also contributed […]
CANCER + KIDS = SHOULD NOT BE IN THE SAME EQUATION I have a friend who at 14 has just come through one of the most horrendous years of cancer no one, especially a child should have to go through. Because of the kind of cancer he had and the fact they could not […]

Going through cancer and other health challenges feels like it […]
Recently while coaching someone who was feeling low I was able to reflect on my own breast cancer journey. Now, did she have reason to feel down? Sure! She had finished chemo and still had no hair, she had just had a double mastectomy and was in a lot of discomfort and she still had […]
In life I believe we are all faced with a crisis of self-confidence at one time or another. For me this was magnified significantly during my breast cancer journey. I felt awkward with no hair, I had a myriad of new scars and radiation tattoos and I had a misshaped, lopsided, reconstructed breast. I had […]
Recently I feel like I have been struggling to move forward. My health feels good, I have no aches or pains that have me doubting and yet at times I feel like I am sabotaging myself in many areas in my life. Why? Because I have started saying things like: Who am I to write […]
