Treatment’s are finished!!!
Friday 16th August 2024 saw me attend my 14th and final TDM-1 Breast Cancer treatment!
Wow! It’s been one heck of a journey for me!
Whilst I’m now hugely relieved that finally the treatments are over, in many respects it feels like it has flown by. It feels only like yesterday when I posted my video on here in January 2023, alongside my husband, Marc, announcing that I had been diagnosed with stage 2 HER2+ Breast Cancer.
Since then, I’ve posted videos and content about my holistic journey to combat the cancer and my refusal to go the traditional chemotherapy route. I consulted with some of the worlds finest Naturopathic practitioners and Nutritional Therapists and managed to shrink the tumour by 3mm – This was all against Dr’s advice as I was told that within 3 months without chemotherapy my tumour would have spread like a bush fire!
Eventually we decided to travel the route of conventional medicine, but alongside holistic therapies and treatments and Wow – how awesome I have felt on my journey.
The chemotherapy and surgery no doubt obliterated the tumour and saved my life, however the holistic therapies boosted my immune system and kept me healthy, fit and well throughout the most severe of chemotherapy treatments.
I now feel that it is my duty to pass on this knowledge to help as many awesome women as possible on their cancer journeys. Cancer now affects 1 in 2.5 people – which is staggering!
Imagine if I could impart just a bit of what I’ve learned to helping others not to simply survive cancer, but to thrive through cancer – that now is my mission.
I am currently creating an online programme called “Women’s Wellness With Cancer” which is aimed at providing an holistic coaching framework for women with cancer which brings energy and vitality in to the body whilst undergoing the rigors of treatment.
Harnessing the very best holistic practices alongside conventional medicine.
Just to say a huge and totally heartfelt “Thank you” to all of you beautiful people who have sent messages of Love and support on my journey. I will never, ever forget this time and all the Love that I received. Hence why it is now my duty to pass this on to other people.
The photo above is me waving “Goodbye” for the final time to number 81, Harley Street where I had almost all of my treatments. xx
As they say in the film industry “It’s a wrap”!
(Mmm…not quite as I still have 5 years of Tamoxifen to take at home but I’m sure you get my point)
