I’m out the other side, and very grateful for the kind and skillful care I received all day. I’ve never had this much experience with the provincial healthcare system, and I knew we were lucky to have it, but I’m even more convinced of that now. Many thanks for all the wonderful love and support…
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It’s hard to find words to express my gratitude for the incredible response to my video yesterday. The love and generosity that’s flowing towards me is filling me in ways that I didn’t know were possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. The timing is perfect, because…
Good News! I just got the results of the biopsy on my right breast, and the lump there is not cancerous. It still needs to be removed, but it’s a less complicated procedure, and they’ll do it when they do the left-side lumpectomy this Friday. What a relief. Also, here’s a video I made this…
Here’s a huge gratitude-filled update for all of you who have been sending love and healing to me through my prayer crystals. I’ve taken the crystals with me everywhere, and I sleep with them each night. They bring me great comfort, and I feel a strong connection to all of you who love and support…
Many thanks to all the dear ones who gathered around me yesterday in an amazing healing ritual. The intention was to prepare me for surgery (a lumpectomy) next week, and to help my confused cancer cells come back into health and balance. 50 of us gathered on a sunny September afternoon, and shared prayer, singing,…
I had a needle biopsy on my right breast today, to explore a suspicious spot that showed up on an MRI last week. It wasn’t the most fun way to spend an afternoon, but I’m OK. This is my second biopsy (the first discovered the tumor in my left breast.) I found this one much…
Cancer is tenderizing me. Everything is more poignant, both the beautiful experiences and the difficult ones. The MRI found a small “enhanced area” in my other breast and the radiologist wants to check it out more closely. It may be nothing, or it may be something. I’m waiting at the hospital, for an ultrasound appointment…
I got a request to make a video about how to tell whether or not we’re stuck in grief. There are three important things to know about grieving and timing. The first one is that everyone’s journey is completely unique. You will move at your pace. It won’t look like other people’s pace, and what’s…
It’s been an interesting experience, speaking so often and so publicly about my breasts. They’ve always been a fairly intimate and private part of my body, but that’s changed. I guess breast cancer does that. I didn’t do regular self exams, but if I did, I would likely have caught this lump earlier. I think…
