We all have a story to tell, and so we should. This is not just another cancer story, but a story about how coincidences do not just happen. That everything happens for a reason is easy to accept when things are going our way, but not so easy to accept when they're not. After I was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer and given little hope of living beyond the 12 months, I embarked on the biggest learning experience of my life. My story is a recall of events that have occurred in my life, the choices I have made along the way and the lessons I have learnt. My story includes the role of spiritual healing (meditation, prayer and connecting to my inner voice and intuition), energy healing, the power of belief, real nutrition, guardian angels and, above all, how love changed my life. My wish in sharing my story is to contribute to the awareness of hope available to each and every one of us, no matter how desperate the situation may seem.
