Yes, I Got Cancer.

Published on February 13, 2020

I invite you to a series of conversations on this topic over the coming weeks, as I share experiences from my journey, hard won wisdom and prevention possibilities.

I am in remission. I didn’t share this journey with you as I was going through it as it didn’t seem appropriate. Now it seems it would be inappropriate not to share.

How did this happen? Haven’t you been eating organic for decades? Didn’t you start being interested in health, wellbeing and preventive medicine before you even became an adult? Aren’t you the one who is supposed to know how to prevent this?

Think this won’t happen to you? Think you know what you need to know to prevent it? Think you know what you will and won’t do if it happens to you? Do you know if the cards are stacked in your favor or against?

I didn’t think this would happen to me, I thought I knew how to prevent it. I also thought I knew what I would and wouldn’t do if it happened, turns out you can’t really know unless it does. I didn’t know the extent of my odds that could have been known.

There were things I knew, but there are many more that I know now, and I feel sure that the learning journey has only just begun. I’d love to introduce you to the resources and information that my cancer journey brought into my sphere.

I am two years and a bit into this journey and will be celebrating two years without detectable cancer cells at the end of March. I am well, very very well, in fact, thriving.

I waited for this information to reach a point where it was ready to be shared and now is the time.

The format of this series will be information newsletters, I hope at the rate of a couple per week. I used the word “conversations” in the introduction, but had not necessarily intended to do this in person, although perhaps this was one of those “mistakes” that was meant to be – if there is an interest in more of a conversation, that may happen too!
