October is Breast Cancer awareness Month!
The topic of breast cancer was rarely on my radar until this past spring when I was diagnosed with Breast cancer! So now, I want to get the word out to those I can reach and share the importance of regular breast examinations.
I encourage you to get informed, educate yourself, do breast-self exams, visit your Gynecologist and get timely mammograms to help detect early breast cancer.
I would never in my wildest dreams have believed that I would get diagnosed with breast cancer!
But what I have learned is that breast cancer doesn’t not discriminate! It can happen to any one of us!
Breast cancer is not in my family’s history, I live the healthiest of lifestyles, I have positive thoughts, I move my body everyday, I eat whole foods, a plant based diet and good fats & protein, I have relatively low stress in my life… this all sounds ‘cancer proof, right??? and still, cancer got the best of me showing up as a lump in my breast.
So, with great courage and the utmost trust in the process of life I am gracefully accepting this new reality & journey that I am on.
I believe that I am stronger than this challenge and will kick this cancers ass!!!
And, if this unfortunate situation befalls you, please get informed, educate yourself and get 3, 4 or even 5 other professional opinions. There are many routes to take on this journey so be sure to listen to your inner guidance to aligned with what your path is for healing!
And remember there is no wrong or right, this is your journey.
If you can let go of fear and step into trusting in the process of life, you will get through this with greater ease, clarity and acceptance.
Stay positive and strong and surround yourself with encouraging, hopeful, positive & faithful people. This will help in your healing process physically, mentally and spiritually. And please know you are not alone.
Sending out love, strength and healing to everyone on this journey!
