A Journey of Healing, Choices, and Awareness 🌟🙏
In 2011, I had a spot burned off my chest. Fast forward to 2023, and today I had a biopsy on the same spot.
The Moral of the Story
Honestly, I’m still figuring that out.
What I do know is this:
When they say “precancerous,” it’s not just a passing comment. It’s a warning—a call to action.
That’s the moment to commit to a preventing cancer lifestyle.
Because “nothing concerning now” can turn into “most likely skin cancer” 12 years later.
Lessons I’ve Learned
- In 2005, the lump in my right breast was deemed benign.
- By 2023, it became aggressive breast cancer, fueled by my hormones.
I’m healing both, but I wish I’d known then what I know now:
- The REAL things we can do to support our bodies.
- The importance of good supplements, gut health, and autoimmunity awareness.
- How sunscreen, marketed to protect us, often contains toxic chemicals that may contribute to long-term damage.
The Bigger Picture
It’s not just about staying out of the sun or slathering on sunscreen.
It’s about recognizing the choices we make every day:
- Years of eating a no-fat diet to support someone else’s goals.
- Overlooking the vital role of Vitamin D in our health.
- Ignoring the subtle ways we compromise our bodies without realizing it.
These are the ingredients to the recipe I’m now unraveling.
Keeping It in Perspective
It’s fine.
It’s not the frightening journey we imagine before we’re in it. Once you’re here, you realize:
We have choices.
Information is literally at your fingertips. Research, learn, and ask questions.
PLEASE, do your own research before saying yes to drastic measures without understanding the full picture.
Three Months Later
Three months ago, I was told:
“In three months, you’ll be begging me to save your life if you don’t take this aggressive chemo.”
But here I am, three months later, standing firm in my decisions, embracing blind faith in Jesus, the power of prayer,and the healing that comes with choosing to live life on my terms.
Words of Wisdom
KNOW THIS:
You truly speak life and death with your tongue.
If you can’t say something positive or encouraging, then please—#KeepYourMouthClosed.
Your words matter. Your choices matter. And your body is always speaking to you—listen to it.
A PSA for Your Health
- Chronic pain is not normal.
- Endometriosis is not normal.
- Skin lesions are not normal.
- Leg swelling is not normal.
- Itchy, flaky skin is not normal.
- Headaches are not normal.
Pay attention to your body’s signals. Follow your heart and your intuition, even when the noise around you is deafening.
My Commitment
I choose to tune out the bullshit and embrace the journey with grace, faith, and courage.
God has a plan. It may look different than what we expect, and that’s okay. Until then, I’ll keep trusting, praying, and living fully in the time I’m given.
