I was diagnosed via MRI, CT and PET scans plus a biopsy which 'suggests this is not HPV-related'. Conventional treatment started 4 weeks later - 6 sessions chemotherapy alongside 7 weeks radiotherapy (5 sessions per week).

I did not realise I was unwell as I was experiencing a challenging menopause and the symptoms are very similar.

Diet Change - when diagnosed I was very anaemic and had rapidly lost a significant amount of weight, however knowing about the link between sugar and cancer cell growth I refused to consume any foods whatsoever that contained sugar listed in the ingredients. Instead I ate organic, alkaline, low GI, fresh food (nothing processed) - eating the rainbow, plus daily juicing. Aspargarus soup for alkalinity, lots of oats, veg and seeds, some fruit and organic meat. I only drank lemon water and green matcha tea.

Herbs & Supplements – multi vitamins and minerals (more than the RDA), CBD Oil, apricot kernels as per my weight, turmeric, ginger, Goldenseal, fresh herbs on my food including Herb Robert, a herbal tincture, Aloe Vera, sprouting.

Increasing Positive Emotions – I focussed on the rest of my body that was well, I loved and appreciated it. Positive intentions, affirmations and visualisations. Tuning into the joy within me and started to live each day from my heart rather than from my head. I only focussed on improving my immune system – I never focussed on the cancer apart from connecting to it in a positive way to find out why I had manifested it.

Releasing Suppressed Emotions – see cause section below

Following Your Intuition – tuned into my body’s wisdom and my heart to decide my treatment plan down to all the detail. Followed my instincts and intuition as to what I needed to get well.

Deepening Your Spiritual Connection – forgiveness was a big part, especially myself for getting so ill. I faced my fear of death and found the love, peace and connection to all that is within me.

Increasing Social Support – asking for help, being vulnerable and allowing others to heal and support me. I owe them my life, particularly my husband who encouraged me every step of the way.

Finding Strong Reasons for Living – I went down a black hole of fear and clawed my way out using the technique of tuning into my heart to see what I needed to do to make myself happy, however small, and focussing on doing that. As I improved I started to write goals – one was to fly to Australia and I did that a year to the day I was diagnosed!

Taking Control of Your Health – I knew at a deep level I had manifested this for a reason and all I needed to do was to find the reason and dissolve it. Prioritising this put me in the driving seat of the situation and helped me follow my instincts despite what other professionals thought was best for me.

Exercise - gentle exercise at first and Pilates.

I also removed all toxins and stress. I had a daily crystal healing at home, plus regular massage, shiatsu and McTimony Chiropractic sessions, along with the energy release healing.

5 months after diagnosis I had a 'live' blood test done. I was adamantly told by the Doctor that I would have no white blood cells left due to the conventional treatment - two thirds were working. He was also adamant I would have inflammation in my blood - I had none. He then told me without drastic surgery or expensive alternative treatment I would not survive - well I have, and more than surviving I am thriving! I now refer to this period of my life not as 'when I was ill' but as 'when I got well'.

I continue with my well-being plan and feel great!

For me it was self-manifested from the fear of getting cancer..

My Mum died from liver/bowel cancer only 10 days after diagnosis and this shock added to my fear. I then tried to live a healthy life in order 'to not get cancer' but realised I had been doing this out of fear which had then attracted what I did not want (what you resist persists..). So, after reading You Can Heal Your Life and embracing Louise Hay's philosophies, I changed my reason to live a healthy life to 'because I love myself' and feel this was significant to my recovery.

Also, I found that I had energetically taken on my Mum's cancer in order to subconsciously try and help her. The day I found and removed this energy block, which was very deeply suppressed, was the day I felt all my energy finally align into health and well-being and I knew 100% from that day on that I would be well - it felt like a miracle.

I also feel past stress and trauma was a big factor which I resolved through energy healing techniques of Soul Retrieval for shock trauma and Inner Child work for releasing developmental trauma and suppressed emotions.

For both myself and my clients the biggest common factor seems to be that we are the ones that are determined not to pass on trauma down the line to our children or onto others - we hold the trauma and toxic energy in until it eventually explodes inside of us as cancer..
