When I met with the surgeon and she gave me percentages of surviving this cancer, I was quite shocked by how low they were. Following with chemo/radiation was only improving these chances by a minimal amount too.
My father had reoccurring bowel cancer for over 10 years and in that time my husband and I had done a lot of research about health, illness and cancer. In trying to help my Dad, what we didn’t realise was that we were really arming ourselves for our own journey.
I feel that if I remove this cancer and I don’t do the healing of the mind, body and spirit that created it then the cancer will keep coming back. If I can clear the mind pattern that created this cancer then I will not require the surgery.
My body created this cancer and I believe my body can heal this cancer.
Holistically, I believe that cancer and other illnesses are ways our bodies tell us that we are out of alignment in life. Thanks Louise Hays for your inspiring book ‘You can heal your life’.
At first I searched for people that may have taken a similar path to validate my decision and give me strength but I haven’t managed to find many. Which makes me both nervous and scared. The typical approach is to operate and then heal naturally (for people avoiding chemo and radiation).
But a learning that I have had is that no two cancer journeys are the same. Just because one person did or did not survive, does not make it a cut and dried case for the next person.
So when all I want is reassurance and guidance, someone to tell me what to do and it will all be ok… another learning on this journey… me, and only me, has to make all the decisions!
