12 years ago I was diagnosed with invasive stage 111 breast cancer that had spread massively from my breast to my lymph system, and was given only 6 months to live. I’m happy to say that today here I am alive and well to tell the story and inspire you that we really can get over anything in life and come out wiser, stronger human beings.
I approached the disease with a holistic view, mind, body and spirt. I eat vegan raw food with nutritious sprouts and green drinks every day. no sugar at all, and put together a healing plan for my emotional, and mental well being too, besides taking various herbs, and suppliments. I cut out any processed food and sugar.
Besides any physical treatment that I chose for my body, I had to take a good look at my life, and let go of any pain or anger that I was carrying in my breast from the past, for it was clear to me that holding on to past trauma and letting it fester inside of me had helped to lower my immune system, and create fertile ground for the cancer to grow.
it was a life changing journey and now I know that we really can turn the compost in to gold. There are treasures in there as strange as that seems, and its up to each one of us to find it.
I did not war on cancer, quite the opposite I made peace with the situation and with all that had happened in my life until then. I forgave anyone who I perceived as having hurt me in my past, and let it go.
I had to take responsibility for my life, not leave it up to anyone else to make the decisions for me, as this was about my life no one else’s. The doctors and health specialists were there to give me the information. It was up to me to make the choices.
I promised that when I would overcome the prognosis, I would write a book inspiring people who are facing life’s challenges. ‘6 Months to Live 10 Years Later: An Extraordinary Healing Journey and Guide to Well Being ” was the outcome of that promise, published in December 2007. And the Champ Muhammad Ali graciously wrote the Foreword to my book.
You can see a non-professional utube of Curtis Jewell reading the foreword that Muhammad wrote, and myself reading a chapter from my book in California on

The the utube details are provided because I know how important it was for me when I was sick to actually visually see someone well over cancer and know that it can be done. So here I am for you ladies out there.
I hope this inspires you to know that we really can get over anything in life and come out wiser deeper human beings. It is so important not to become a 'victim' to the disease emotionally, as that only weakens you more. Rather get help and find ways to take back your power and heal all that has happened. Take time out to re-evaluate your life. This is a wake up call from above, so take the opportunity and use your inner strength. You really can do it!
with love
