Congratulations to all the survivors in this world who had the tenacity and courage to heal. Cancer is one of the many diseases plaguing our world today. There is a rise of autoimmune disease and other chronic illness. We live in stress. I was an occupational therapist for 25 years and watched the rise in disease as well as the diagnosis of ADHD through Autism and so many physical manifestations of chronic illness surface.
I too suffered from a chronic disease for 40 years. I was diagnosed at 14 with a neurological disease in my spine which would land me in a wheelchair at 25 end my life by 40. I went through 18 surgeries and lived in fear and anxiety my whole life. Today, because I decided after i exhausted the medical field to step into the more esoteric world of spirituality, I have completely transformed my life and healed my physical dis-ease.
It changed because I said enough I am done and opened my heart to other modalities. I stopped looking for cures from the outside and found the healing within. I AM a believer in taking life into your own hands. If I can we all can. I offer everyone my wisdom gained to anyone courageous enough to say yes to life.

Hello Anonymous,
There is not one person alive today whose life has not been impacted by cancer. Be it a family member, friend or that individual.
The tireless work of scientists involved in cancer research, oncologists offering patients innovative treatment options, and resilient cancer patients contribute to the increased number of patients achieving remission and sustaining the goal of no recurrence of tumor or disease.
I know because I have survived brain and breast cancer.
