I was given a DVD and book called Crazy Sexy Cancer by my cousin Freeda and her hubby Ari. It's a story of a 31 y/o with an "incurable" cancer. She has 20+ tumors in her liver and both lungs. She explores alternative methods. Her treatment plan is "wait and see" and she will not receive chemo and radiation. She calls herself the "healing junkie". She ends up keeping her tumors stable with no signs of cancer by adapting a whole new diet (which basically consists of anything from Whole Foods). I started to read her book and Sheryl Crow has a few pages in their explaining her story. I relate to a few things she says in the foreword and I will share it with you...
"What I was forced to learn,...was to put myself first. To really honor myself by saying no to things I don't want to do. I have always been a pleaser of the most committed kind."
"My experience was about letting go. It was really experiencing all that was happening at the deepest emotional level, for that is where the big life changes occur. That is where you meet yourself...I don't believe you have to be diagnosed to come to these lessons, but sometimes these catastrophic moments in life force you to focus in on the immediate."
It's all about me right now!
