Mallory is such a warrior 💪🏼🥰

This is Mallory Davenport, my friend from Alabama / Florida who I visited back in 2017.
Having Faith in God is Stronger Than the Fear of Cancer.

Facing the Fear of Cancer by Joel Schorn – Bing video
She has had cancer since 2012 but her answer to cancer is getting immunotherapy from time to time eating well and loving life along the Gulf Coast. She told me that she doesn’t want to leave the life she love’s so well with her husband Jack. She feels her love for life gives her the super-duper will and immune system that helps to fight her cancer off.

What I have noticed about Mallory is that she has a special spirit about
herself that comes from the special family bond and friendships she has in her life.
Mallory states in one of her Facebook posts, you can’t worry about the chaos when
there is a 100lb German Shepherd laying on you. Mainly because you can’t breathe..
but also, because you start to think about how this perfect creature, that God made,
loves you unconditionally and you’re their whole world.

Mallory gains great joy from the little extra joy from nature that is life.
Mallory thinks your outlook on life helps you defeat cancer…also when you go to Mallory’s facebook page. I have noticed most cancer survivors know more about cancer than doctors themself because of the research that they and their cancer circle of friends do for them. Mallory has a High IQ about cancer awareness with new and continued posts.

On 2-02-2022 I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Most of you know I’ve been fighting lymphoma for over a decade.
I first noticed the tumor in September but didn’t feel like dealing with it at the time.
In January I finally decided to have it looked at. I also had a little hope it was just my
lymphoma but knew deep down it was breast cancer. Unfortunately, treatment for
Hodgkin’s Lymphoma can cause secondary cancers.

It’s a unique situation to have 2 primary cancers at one time 🤗
My lymphoma is under control at this time which is great. I’ve had numerous doctors appointments and conversations with my oncologist and radiologist on what’s best for me. They both know I’m going to do things my way because they know I know my body better than anyone. My radiologist, whom I haven’t seen since I had paralysis from the waist down back in 2017, has told me “Mallory, you have defied the odds. “

No one thought you would be here or if you did make it out of that we didn’t think you would be walking without a cane.” We talked for over an hour. He reminded me of what I’ve been through and how mentally strong I am. He told me however I decided to handle this situation he had my back and so does my oncologist, with whatever — I decide to do.  Everyone’s response and even my own when they called to tell me it was breast cancer,
was “well shit.”

The second response from my close friends and family was “how do you feel about this?”
I would reply, indifferent. Not mad, sad, or scared, just indifferent. Cancer doesn’t scare me. It never has. It sucks, it’s aggravating and annoys me to no end at times but we all face trials in life. Mine is just cancer. I don’t know one person that isn’t facing some obstacle in their life. Life is hard. I try to always figure out what I can learn from the obstacles that I’m faced with.

How can it make me a better person?

I trust God’s will, and whatever he has in store for me.

……So I’ve pondered my situation for months now.
Had conversations with friends who have been through breast cancer to gather all the insider info I can. I’ve learned breast cancer is not like lymphoma. It’s a little bit more difficult to navigate. So here I am navigating through it.. honestly. sometimes I forget
I have cancer until the aches and pains creep up on me at times reminding what my
body and mind and spirit have been through.

I’m not your typical cancer patient.

No one can tell I have some disease that’s been trying to kill me for over a decade and now a second one is trying to creep in and take me out 🤨. So in my true fashion I decided the best course of action is to up and go on a road trip out west with Jack and hike. So here
I am hiking in the desert in Moab and Bryce Canyon.

(5 years ago, I thought I would never get to hike again.
We are just passersby here, don’t let your obstacles define you. Glory be to God)

  · Hi friends! I have created some free resources for the breast cancer community.
If you are a fighter, survivor, or thriver; these videos are for you! If you are connected with someone affected by breast cancer, please share. It is October, which means there’s A LOT of pink-washing out there. Instead of stewing about it, I decided to instead put my energy into creating something helpful. You know…be the change you wish to see and all of that stuff 🙂

I’ll be adding more over time…..and I will be adding additional yoga / Pilates video resources that are good for anyone and everyone. Head to YouTube and hit subscribe
to stay up to date! https://youtube.com/@NatalieHolland-HouseOfHealing…

Happy Holiday Season to Everyone!
