Shares an Important Reminder to Celebrate the Things We Can…
One of the most important lessons I learned from my cancer journey is to play the whole game.
Finding out about my breast cancer diagnosis at the age of forty-seven was absolutely devastating news.
My breast cancer diagnosis was less my crisis point, and more a landing pad of experiences that invited me to tap into my toolkit of meditation, and other mind-body practices that were integral to my journey.
I was drinking and driving on my way to the CAT scan in 1995.
Diagnosed at 21 with bone cancer, I underwent aggressive chemo and surgery that replaced part of my femur and tibia with titanium.
After the initial shock of being diagnosed with throat cancer, I began to focus on developing some qualities I felt would get me through my cancer journey.
We all face daunting challenges at some point in our lives. Whether the crisis involves health, career, or relationships, the initial reaction is always fear.
