This whole process has made me look into anything and everything that might help me. A few years ago, my boss at the time (a woman in her early 40's with two children), went through this. She has come out on the other side, and is in remission. She has been such a great support to me since my diagnosis. Reaching out to check on me, giving me advice, and reassurance. FYI - there is a really bizarre coincidence at my work place....over the past 3 or so years, there are at least 5 of us (that I know of) that sit on the same floor, that have had cancer (all under the age of 45 years old). I think there are only about 80 -100 people that sit on the floor. It's like a weird "curse" we have. It's very strange. Anyways, moving on from that...she and a few other senior people that I work with (or used to work with), got together and gifted me bio-energy healing sessions with a healer that was instrumental in her recovery. I didn't know too much about this, but I figured, if it helped her, I will certainly try anything. I spoke on the phone with the bio-energy healer (to set up some sessions), and she gave me a bunch of "homework" to do. Well, not "homework", but suggestions of what to do before our sessions start in the new year. She told me about this lady, Corrie Yelland, who cured her cancer with Rick Simpson cannabis oil (google this, it's pretty interesting). She suggested that I call her (apparently Corrie devotes her time consulting people about using cannabis oil and she does this for free...). I called her, and she gave me a starting regimen (working on getting the oils now). She also suggested the name of a naturopath that specializes in cancer. I booked a consult first week of January. Can't wait. She also told me to read this book called "Radical Remissions", which is a book about people that miraculously recovered from cancer. Started that book a few days ago (so far, so good). The hardest thing for me to adjust is my diet. The healer (and the book), say no white bread, rice, white potatoes, dairy. sugar....and a few other things. I love dairy...I love white bread....and I love fried food. Everyone who knows me, knows how much I love "bad" food! Pray for me while I try my hardest to cut these things out of my life (only until the cancer is gone hopefully). I need to try and help myself as best as I can...otherwise, I just feel like a sitting duck waiting for the cancer meds to work. Again, I know this is privilege (see my other post re: guilt). Not everyone will have these options. All of these things cost money. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to use alternative healing in conjunction with modern medicine. When I get better, I want to use this knowledge to help others that might not have access to it. Not sure how to reach the people, but I will think about it.
