My final surgery is scheduled for June 27th. Though this journey has been long and challenging, I’m grateful to be nearing the finish line—thriving against all odds for over five years without any prescriptions! Even when doctors sent me home to die, I held tight to my belief that I was cured. Was it radical delusion? Perhaps, but it worked! In 2015, I faced a diagnosis deemed 'incurable.' Now, as I prepare for my final reconstruction surgery in June 2025, I can credit my success to unwavering determination and the immeasurable support of our community. The cancer has taken an extended hiatus—over 5.5 years without medications. Amidst the chaos, I made a conscious choice to live a long, joyful, and fulfilling life. Thank you for being an essential part of this incredible journey. I boldly declare: never again! While some insist a cure is unattainable, my scans tell a different story—it's nothing short of miraculous! From 2015 to 2019, cancer spread throughout my lungs, sternum, lymph nodes, neck, and both sides of my brain. I initially opted out of surgery, guided instead by profound visions leading me toward healing. Through these experiences, I've gained insights into the healing process that I'm excited to share in an upcoming book. Oh yes, I’m BACK! With newfound clarity and resilience, I'm ready to embrace this significant surgery, which will reconstruct my body and restore my physical comfort. Through countless surgeries, brain surgery, radiation, and even cranial necrosis, I’ve persevered, continually moving forward and utilizing integrative tools to reclaim my health—so I can continue offering our generate care for others who face this diagnosis so bravely. Because true healing is when you are gifted enough to give back to others. That said, I’m tired. This upcoming surgery is monumental, and I won’t shy away from admitting I’m scared. Post-surgery, I will require extensive rest. A significant healing journey awaits me. As I wake up from the procedure, I’ll face multiple drains and will need frequent follow-ups with my doctor on Long Island to monitor my recovery. Throughout this journey, I’ve often hesitated to ask for help or voice my true needs, especially since metastasis (spread through the system). I wanted to avoid alarming those around me, particularly as I supported others with their own diagnoses. I deeply believed that if anyone could heal, it was me, supported by my mission and our community. Why have I held so firmly to my belief in healing? Because of all of you. Over the past 20 years, I’ve been honored to hold space for countless individuals @YouCanThrive! sharing their healing journeys while navigating my own. Maybe it was radical delusion, but it has led to this remarkable outcome. I now realize that I am not alone; I don’t have to carry this burden by myself. We are strengthened by our beautiful community. Thank you for being present. I love each of you.
