It was two years ago that I slayed the Purple Dragon (Leiomyosarcoma) through radiation 1st week June then surgery in February!!!
Having a rare kind of cancer Leiomyosarcoma just two years ago and rose up after I was completely drowning in the abyss of a traumatic experience; as a woman, an advocate and a friend, there is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful than a woman being UNAPOLOGETICALLY HERSELF.
.
For I am comfortable in my PERFECT IMPERFECTION – the real essence of beauty.
No more C — that burden was dropped, I could see clearly past the determined blinders I had placed on myself to beat the disease. I paused and finally looked around myself, examining the rubble. Nothing in my life would ever return to “normal.” I was a stranger to my pre-cancerous self.
I am still here, but who I am has changed.
I used to be so anxious, so filled with vehemence at the unfairness of my diagnosis. Now I recognize that there is no such thing as fair—humankind has created this idea.
Things simply are. Life simply is.
We can be the kindest, most loving individuals on the planet but the universe has no agency to reward us.
I have come to accept this, and in many ways, it has freed me. If I have become my only judge, that is, if I remove performing good tasks in my life out of some imagined obligation to the universe, then I am actually free to pursue my own happiness. I can simply be me, free from any overarching feelings that I must be doing something to please the elusive other, whether that be a parent, partner, teacher, friend, deity or concept of karma.
I have to dive deep into myself to find peace. I have to do the work.
My connection to the divine is now personal, ferociously loving, and reciprocal.
I will get out of it what I put in.
And over the past five months I found such beauty and peace from the divine that I cannot imagine returning to the woman I was before.
Because yes, I am still here, but I did not just survive: I was reborn.
Living through cancer at 30.
An experience with cancer is a forever reminder that it’s okay to break apart.

They said, “It’s okay not to be okay.” But it’s never okay to be okay if you are diagnosed with cancer!
>
There are many emotions experienced by cancer patients and they vary every single minute, every day. But — rising up after defeating cancer is one great momentum that I learned a lot beyond compare.
Losing the custody of my kids had also broken me apart, to add another life’s demise, cancer is a one big driving lesson that changed me significantly.
>
But, hey, I am still alive and well! You may never saw me 2 years ago, how dreadful I was, sappy and pathetic, yet, here I am, passionate about giving hope that there’s life after cancer! https://thecancervoice.net/1184-were-feeling-feelings-every-day/
WHAT CANCER HAS TAUGHT ME?

Driven as fuck grown-ass human being does these:
– They stop dreaming of possibilities.
– They start making the chances come true.
– They take risks.
– They enjoy new adventures.
– They set vital goals that are unbelievable.
– They inspire others.

Do you have what it take to be a driven as fuck grown-ass human being?

OTHER KEYNOTE LMS SURVIVORS:
“I got a call from the doctor. They told me I had leiomyosarcoma. Leiomyosarcoma is a bone, muscle, and soft tissue cancer, and mine was stage 3 high grade leiomyosarcoma. That’s a very deadly cancer. If somebody has a tumor like that in an arm or leg today, they’d amputate,” Jeanie told The 700 Club. www1.cbn.com

Yes, I have a list of books that were helpful to me on my blog. (http://uterine-leiomyosarcoma.blogspot.com/) I stopped posting on the blog, but perhaps I will post an update in 2018. Take care!
Here are some of my favorites books: Love, Medicine, and Miracles by Bernie Siegel, MD; The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle; A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle; Knockout by Suzanne Somers; You Can Conquer Cancer by Ian Gawler; and The Hallelujah Diet by Rev. George Malkmus; Hope, Medicine and Healing by Francisco Contreras, MD; Chicken Soup for the Cancer Survivor’s Soul; A Book of Miracles by Bernie Siegel, MD; and The China Study by Dr. T. Colin Campbell.
Some of the first books that helped me were The Hallelujah Diet and The Power of Now. The mind and the body are absolutely connected when it comes to healing. Read books that give you HOPE – stories of other survivors, books that describe how the body has the ability to heal itself, etc. I love to get these books in audio format (from audible.com) and listen to them while I take a walk in nature.
