Cancer Support 

Picture
​As a Breast Cancer Survivor myself it is my passion to support and empower Breast Cancer Patients/Survivors, their caregivers and families with emotional support during the hardships following the diagnosis, throughout their journey and after treatments.  From my personal experience I know it can be like a rollercoaster ride and sometimes the path can be uncertain, and whether or not you have a support system at home, sometimes by simply talking with someone who knows exactly what you are going through can take some of the load off your shoulders.

Newly Diagnosed

I often wished I would have known someone going through breast cancer shortly after I was diagnosed...  and now you do! 
When you get your initial diagnosis or know about a diagnosis for a loved one, it can be a confusing and a very difficult time in life, and telling your family and friends -could be just as difficult.   Having supportive resources and knowing what reliable information is available to you can bring great benefit not only now, but down the road as well as this can assist you to be more prepare for the days ahead, to ask questions to your medical team.  I do not provide advice nor interfere with your medical treatment, but I can provide you with support sharing the news to your family, a few tips that would have been helpful during my journey should I had known about them earlier in my treatment. Plus I can provide you with the free resources for some free services available to breast cancer survivors - there is No-Fee for these services and no obligation towards any other services.  
For breast cancer patient there may be various stages where survivors including those in remission, may need some support with self reintroduction were they may need assistance stepping into their current new stage and current self, some factors of this may include one or more of the following:
  • Surgery Outcomes - mastectomy, lumpectomy, with or without reconstructive surgery.
  • Treatments like Chemotherapy and/or Radiation - Side effects (hair loss, memory loss, skin reaction, skin damage...) 
  • ​Relationships can be affected  -your partner, intimacy, family and friends.
  • Physical Health - body may wear down - loss of strength and fatigue.
  • Emotional Health can involve anxiety, anger, confusion, depression, emotional irritability, higher levels of stress, lower self-confidence, identity lost...
  • Social Impact - Let's face it society can be very harsh at times, sometimes it is just curiosity or lack of education or just our own perception of a society concepts that lead us into a different perspective towards the inner self, creating more worries, and affecting the self-esteem, self-worth, body image...   
Depending on the environment that surrounds you, and all these in addition to side effects from treatment, and since life doesn't stops for any of the above nor the everyday issues there is no wonder the emotional well-being can be dramatically affected when there is a cancer diagnosis in our immediate environment via self, loved one, friend.. 

Hypnotherapy and Coaching can be a solution where you can benefit by obtaining tools for practicing mindfulness, stress relieve, self empowerment and other tools and strategies to help you improve and overcome the hardships associated with cancer.

Mindfulness - Stress Relieve  - Self Empowerment ​have demonstrated time and time again to be powerful tools that can improve your life condition by improving your wellness level

​I also work with the families and caregivers to help them through these various stages, when they themselves may feel helpless and need support when they see and experience first hand how their loved one go through changes, treatments and hardships.    ​

The Journey

The truth of it all is that each journey is UNIQUE, at first it may send you into shock, it breaks your heart, then it wears down your body,  it may crush our spirits at times, it takes all your strength away,  sometimes it even takes your identity away. 
 
We all have our own story, our own perspective, all based on our own personal experience and the environment that surrounds us, whether you are a caregiver, a family member, a friend or a fellow survivor, the truth is . . .
​

It doesn't matter how it knocks you down, what matter most is just how many times stronger you ARE standing up!

         Grief

Losing anyone is an indescribable and often overwhelming feeling of pain and loss. Though difficult for anyone who has been touched by this to endure, the personal experience of loss and grief is different for everyone left behind regardless of the circumstances. One thing is true; we are left with the honor of sharings wonderful moments of our life with our loved one, being so lucky to have crossed paths, sometimes it may seem unfair to have the feeling of that been taken away, perhaps a void or emptiness is left behind, and we can only cope one day at a time, while finding the strength  needed day by day.
What it means to have cancer?
For some Cancer is a fight with a win or lose scenario...
For some it is just life with the added hardship of enduring a very ugly illness...
For some it may prevent them from doing certain activities for sometime, while their cells, energy and body fight the illness... 
For some it open their eyes to life and what it is that is really important and find more time to enjoy life and the little things that matter.. 
For some it is the unknown, living day by day not knowing what tomorrow holds, if life will continue or if today is your last day...
For some it is just a combination of them all,  depending on the day  or stage of treatment..
For some it is the outcome of unprocessed emotional pain, unpleasant feelings that the body tends to manifest as a cancer once it exhausted its natural healing options with involuntary self assigned restrictions. . . 
For some it ends as a gift, a bad memory, or an experience...
For others their soul unleashes, ending the human experience before the body is fully taken by it.

Various studies have indicated a link between various psychological factors, sudden emotional stress, to an increased risk of developing cancer and the many benefits of practicing mindfulness, stress relief and empowerment can improve life conditions for cancer patients.
