One day you’re healthy and the next you’re facing your mortality.
.
Cancer was a kick in the guts, as I’d believed that my diet and lifestyle was ‘healthy’ enough to protect me from all diseases including cancer. I’d stayed in a healthy weight range, had kept active, had breastfed my 4 children AND there was no history in my family.
.
So hearing those words, ‘You’ve got cancer.’ totally derailed my belief that I had any control over my health and killed my confidence.
.
I became fearful, looking at every morsel on the end of my fork, wondering if this was going to feed my cancer. I succumbed to clever marketing for every cancer ‘cure’ and purchased many supplements and herbs in the hope that they would stop the cancer.
.
My diet chopped and changed like the wind with the slightest mention of a cancer cure.
.
Maybe you found yourself avoiding making any decisions at all, just hoping it was all a bad dream and that you’d eventually wake up.
.
Or you were so afraid you didn’t take any action at all, thinking what’s the point. Or you became an obsessing research-aholic on Dr. Google and ended up filled with even more fear and anxiety.
.
In the book Radical Remission, the number one trait of a survivor was that they took responsibility for their cancer (you can check it out here).
.
They researched, asked questions, and took action. Sometimes radical action, other times not, but they all made changes to the way they were living.
.
If nothing changes… nothing changes.
.
Taking responsibility for your health is the antidote.
.
When I took responsibility I left my marriage, I hadn’t factored in stress as causing cancer. I also stopped drinking alcohol, another risk factor that I hadn’t considered. I researched extensively, and have embraced a plant-based whole foods lifestyle.
.
I have my confidence back.
.
