I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2020. I was a good little cancer patient at first and did everything my doctor told me to do including Chemo, Surgery, Radiation and more Surgery. I was then placed on hormonal therapy and was told that this would protect me from it coming back.
Unfortunately, the cancer spread to my brain in 2022, and again was cut out and then radiated. When it came back a third time in my brain again, they told me that it was either inoperable or that I would be severely debilitated and not be able to walk on my own.
Being a single mother of three, this felt wrong and I was finally not willing to take the doctor’s prognosis as being my only option. I started reading, researching all I could, and found an amazing relief and hope through reading Dr Kelly Turner’s Radical Remission book.
I had some initial success with two of the three new lesions in my brain disappearing. I felt strong, like there was hope beyond just the conventional way to ‘fight’ cancer. I resonated with the idea of relaxing, reducing my stress levels, and loving my body to health again.
When I received a terminal diagnosis in Nov of 2023 due to the single lesion spreading I knew there was more hope than what the doctors were offering me. I knew that if others could cure themselves of a similar prognosis then I could too. I gave up working and threw myself into exploring healing and what true health and vitality looks like.
In 2024 I was disease-free and had two MRIs which showed no evidence of disease.
I believe in my innate healing power and feel like this is a gift that can never be taken away from me. No one can ever convince me that anything is incurable again.
The only thing with this journey, is that I have done it alone. Justine’s Radical Remission workshops were what I was looking for. I felt immediately that it was a community of other’s who are interested in seeing what we can do to restore our own health, in not taking a doctor’s dire prognosis as gospel, in choosing to explore what is possible and looking at other research that shows we can heal.
Having the space each week to explore each of the healing factors in depth was such a blessing. Hearing other’s ideas and suggestions as to how we can make these factors practical in our daily lives was great. Sharing resources and meeting other leaders in this space each week was also fantastic as there is so much information and misinformation out there, so having access to healers who are having great results in this space was very valuable.
The one that resonated with me the most was about increasing positive emotions and having more fun in my life. I feel that the whole program has allowed me to have more positive emotions towards each of the healing factors, so I can approach each one with joy and curiosity rather than trying to do it all perfect all of the time. I’m left with a sense of peace, of feeling like I can handle it all and like while I may not know all the reasons I had cancer in the first place, I can now honestly say I wouldn’t give back the lessons I’ve learnt along the way. This is a whole new way to approach life and I wish everyone was given the opportunity to experience these healing factors with Justine!
Despite the setback of new brain lesions prior to Christmas, I honestly just think I let life return to its normal business and forgot to shower myself with all the good stuff I know how to do. I also feel thru that daily ‘busy-ness’ I lost a little of my spark, my daily joy to be alive.
One of the lesions is quite central and has enmeshed itself with a few of the nerves that serve my throat so my vocal cords and swallowing have been affected.
It’s been a very quiet start to the year as I immerse myself again in QiGong, in meditation, and in healing herbs and a nourishing diet.
I’ve done even more releasing of next level suppressed emotions and have focused more on what brings me joy each day.
I have asked the doctor to delay a new therapy for a few weeks until we see the next tracking scan as I truely believe in the regenerative power of our bodies and I feel with my daily QiGong practice in particular that things are already shifting.
My voice is coming back already and they said it never would on its own.
I’m determined to show them what we can do when we put our mind to it.
I’ll never take my health for granted again!
