NEVER GIVE UP, AND ALWAYS GIVE IT TO GOD IN PRAYER
I am a survivor/ warrior and teal sister for all the ovarian cancer ladies out there; and I will advocate this till I die. What has helped me is determination, faith, and the power of positive thinking.
Well, the #1 factor I have found is that from the beginning of being diagnosed, I started smoking marijuana for my nerves, and then found it helped my pain from surgery; then I found it helped my nausea and appetite from hard chemo; then I found it was bringing my blood markers up; then I found it was helping with my energy, color of skin, and all the side effects every one else was having; I was NOT.
I tried to explain to the doctor’s what I was doing and they did not want to hear any of it and shrugged me off after that; ended up closing me out as a patient since I was not following protocol.
When they did that; I went into colon failure; and lost my colon (and it was dx as stress related, hmmm) and then I went into renal failure (due to the doctor’s putting in stents in my ureters and ripping them so bad they were not usable at that point on. No urine could come out so it all backed up in my abdomen; so that is why I am now on dialysis.
My cancer will not kill me; Dr’s told me this to my face; my kidney failure will; however, I am back smoking and vaping Thc oil along with Cbd oil and my lab work has never been better; go figure. I will be on dialysis till the end of life; due to the failure of care from my Dr’s over the years; but Thc is keeping me alive as well; happy, and pain free and also free of any narcotics what so ever; pill free 🙂
You first must have determination once you are diagnosed with cancer; that means your determined to win this fight. Faith – this is a must have, based upon your religion or just your personal intuition that helps you believe in something that is so powerful it actually will happen if you have faith.
Finally, the power of positive thinking, well if you don’t have this you don’t have the IT factor and you need the IT factor of positive thinking in order to train your thoughts to a more positive approach to any situation that you are involved in good or bad.
If you look at things in a negative mind set; there will be negative outcomes; if you look at things in a positive approach; things just seem to come out looking better and brighter no matter what. My nurse at dialysis tells me every day when I arrive; Sunshine – were gonna have a good day “right”, she sets the tone before I even begin.
There is NO room for negativity in any situation. You will always be happier, smile more, and just learn to adapt to life much easier when you have started with the right mind set, which again is, determination, faith and the power of positive thinking.
What these thoughts have brought me a peace of mind, and restful nights, that once were full of tears and fears. From having gone through a divorce and an ugly one at that. But that was when I found out that I had the cancer and my husbands mother paid him two million dollars to divorce me before the 10 year mark; so I would not get a thing; and moved his ass to Naples FL where he’s living the good life playing golf everyday. Bastard.
This very typical of men who are the only child or only male child and are typically a mamas boy; I should of seen all the red flags over the 9 years; however, I ignored them as we all do. How’s that for details, lol.
Thank you for letting me vent my journey to you.
