It was mid-September 20, 2016, that while watching TV in my home, my small dog jumped on my chest and it was so painful that I jumped! I felt a huge lump in my right breast and it really hurt. On Sept 28th I had an ultrasound that ended up including 3 mammograms and the prognosis that I had breast cancer!! By the end of October I had gone through many tests at Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto and it was confirmed that I had stage 3 breast cancer that had already spread to many of my lymph nodes, which were very large under my arm, on my shoulder and in the center of my chest. The initial protocol called for a mastectomy and a full removal of all the lymph nodes under my arm, shoulder and chest. This was devastating news but I resigned myself to what they were telling me would be a cure for my breast cancer. It would take the surgery along with chemotherapy afterwards, radiation therapy following that and hormone meds for at least 10 years after that. I could not believe how this had dropped into my lap. My dog who I had saved 5 years prior, had just saved my life by helping me to find the cancer before it went to stage 4.

In the meantime, I started praying to the Universe to bring me the perfect outcome no matter how it looked. I became grateful and forgiving of everything and everyone in my life. Every night I prayed just before bed and did my visualizations of a pure and clean body completely clear and free of cancer. The surgery was scheduled for early October and the pre-surgery appointment was very interesting.

The resident doctor (training doctor) came in and told my husband and I that I was a candidate for adjuvant protocol. That meant that I would do chemotherapy first, to hopefully shrink the tumor a bit and then have a less invasive surgery, perhaps only remove a few lymph nodes. We were thrilled and for 15 minutes I felt full and utter joy at this new opportunity. Several minutes later the actual surgeon came in and said that the resident was incorrect and had made an error because I had stage 3 cancer and there was little hope of the tumor reducing in size enough to change the outcome. Devastation again. He agreed to discuss this with the medical oncologist who said that we should give this a try anyways.

For the next 6 months I underwent chemotherapy, all the while continuing with my praying, gratitude, forgiveness and visualizations. I started a blog that grew to include over 50 spiritual people who were all in touch with The Universe and were praying for a perfect outcome. I was their inspiration and they were my connection to The Universe and it’s powers.

Needless to say the chemotherapy is now completed and it was a very easy (for chemo) journey, with only a few side effects. The whole time I knew that I was being healed and that the chemo would far surpass anyone’s guesses! Well, the tumour shrunk to one centimeter in size and the lymph nodes were completely clear of cancer!!!! The surgery ended up being only a lumpectomy and I am feeling such gratitude for this perfect outcome. I still have a way to go with radiation and hormones but my gut tells me that it will be an easy journey and that the Universe will always bring me the best possible outcome.

I am here for a bigger purpose and being an inspiration to many will help change the world! Thanks for listening. I am so grateful for having the opportunity to share my story!!!
