Recovery
10th Sept 2018 - a year since I was diagnosed with breast cancer. What a year it’s been! 
The treatment has finally come to an end after 9 tough months and I can’t believe it!! I am overwhelmed with various emotions.  It feels surreal!! My body has been poked, prodded and scarred! I even got free tattoos thanks to radiation!! Every scar tells a story – I have braved the storm!
I am now on the road to recovery.  Rebirth. 
A new body, one that is getting healthier and stronger. New skin that is glowing with happiness and relief! I’m saying good bye to the dry and damaged skin. New hair on my head, new eyebrows, new eyelashes – which makes me feel like a new born!!  
I’ve come to love and respect my body and to maintain a healthy lifestyle no matter how tough it is to do that. A new chapter in my life has begun – this one’s going to be awesome!  A healthier, happier, fulfilling and empowering new chapter filled with fresh dreams and goals. There’s a fresh enthusiasm for life.
Its been a journey where you learn something new about yourself every day. The one thing that stands out is the desire to help - help those going through a similar battle by sharing my story. Through my battle I have learnt to value my life much more than I ever have and I would like to help others who are fighting their own Aliens to love and respect their lives no matter how rough it gets. A huge part of this new-found desire has come from my support group and the wonderful women who are fighting their own battles, bravely looking into the eyes of their Alien and saying that I will defeat you. Being a part of the Pink Ladies, it has been a privilege to meet so many warrior women who inspired me to keep fighting and win this battle and be a warrior myself. I know I am not alone. 
I now have a heart filled with gratitude to be alive and to have love in abundance!! 
Cancer lost the battle against ME. It originally planned to make me weaker, but I only got stronger. I thank the Alien for helping find the fighter in me. Courage was the little voice in my head that said to me every day – I’ll fight again tomorrow and win this like a warrior!!

    Very inspiring! I have been going through my own trials as well over the last year - nothing as difficult as yours, but trials nonetheless - and so I understand and can appreciate your feeling of 'rebirth'. God bless you and may you fly high in the sky!!!

My Journey

The Alien – A Journey I was talking to my friend Desi from my support group who calls cancer The Alien. You can read her blog at  http://desijagger.com/blog/   Now I want to share the story of my Alien..... It was September 10 th 2017 when I was informed that I was not alone. A stranger – let’s call him– The   Alien was living with me inside my body and trying to make it his home. I was scared. I felt like my body was suddenly not mine anymore and an Alien was going to take over my life. It was a terrifying thought. It took me a little while to realise that while the   Alien may be trying to make my body his home, it was still my body and I had to do whatever it takes to make sure that this invader was shown the door. I also realised that if everything in life has a purpose and a meaning, the Alien coming into my life was no coincidence. He was here to teach me a valuable life lesson, make me stronger and make my life more enriched. Treatment began and I st...
