At 32 years old, I was diagnosed with inoperable cervical cancer. It was missed by many doctors and I had to do a lot of advocating for myself to finally get to that conclusion. I have gone through many different treatments, but my main focus was getting my body and my immune system in the best shape possible to be able to handle whatever was to come. I chose an integrative path of healing combining many different modalities. Cancer is so sneaky and finds 1,000,000 ways to hide and morph. It has been relentless over the past year and a half, but I just keep going. I love reading about the science behind cancer and what new treatments are coming out. I have also been reading through old published medical papers, so it has been an adventure.
I just finished up two rounds of chemotherapy, and my body had a great response. Now I’m awaiting my next adventure doing proton beam radiation. I am feeling very hopeful about this next step.
