June 2, 2026 Cancer Diary
I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer last spring. I suppose for anyone in this situation, the diagnosis itself is surreal. It was for me. The second I heard those words, I instantly knew that positivity was my best medicine. I never wavered. Positivity and Jesus became my lifeline. They still are.
From the start, there were facts. So many facts. It may sound odd, but I chose a different path. Not to say my eyes were closed. They were open. I just decided to trust my intuition. That’s how I made every decision. I would ask Spirit to guide me and would either get a red light or a green light. In essence, I followed the green light path and chose to do a combination of medical and holistic healing modalities.
I agreed to surgery with two angelic surgeons. The young woman at registration called them the Dream Team. Healing was tender, but manageable. I agreed to radiation, also manageable until it wasn’t. Thankfully, that only lasted a few days. I even rang the bell that signifies the completion of a treatment. Nurses applauded. A caring tech filled the air with bubbles from one of those toy bubble guns. It still didn’t feel over to me.
Then a miracle. I was able to receive hyperbaric oxygen treatments. As one of the caring technicians at the oxygen facility explained, radiation burns you from the inside out and oxygen heals you from the inside out. I felt profoundly grateful every day of those treatments. I still do. I also began working with a naturopath, continued to meditate twice a day as usual, and practiced self-care.
Soon after the oxygen treatments, around 6-7 months from the initial surgery, I received a mammogram and ultrasound. No cancer was detected.
Although I still feel slightly challenged by uncertainty, I am deeply thankful for my faith and my friends and family, and continue to find positivity the best medicine.
