Riding the Emotions of Breast Cancer
Update posted by Daniel MurphyThe truth is, Cancer Stinks! As I look back on these past few months I am sometimes still in shock. Some days, everything is too much to take in. This has been quite an adjustment period. In a few short months I went from feeling healthy to having breast cancer. I have had to conquer the fear of surgery, the fear of pain , the fear of what I would look like, not to mention, ‘Am I going to survive this’ I had to come face-to-face with the losses cancer would bring me and stop beating myself up. This became very clear this week. I visited a holistic wellness center in NJ. Dr Roger Sahoury was remarkable. NO- I didn’t get “cracked” as many have asked me. We worked on emotional healing. It was amazing.
There have been so many ups and downs with this disease but I am learning as we go. I cry every day, YES, EVERY Day! I feel truly bless and I have an amazing support system of family and friends. They are my reasons that I choose to get out of bed every day, but so many times during the quiet times, I just lie in bed and cry. I kept thinking “What have I done to myself?”
BUT Then I focus on the positive.
Dan & I were the asked to be the guest speakers for our online business. Although I was exhausted and it took me down for a few days, it’s my passion to help others and always brings me back up. I feel fortunate to have started a business from home that will some day prosper. I have so many incredible leaders reaching out to assist me and I'm eagar to learn. The future looks bright and I smile through the tears thinking of all of this.
Lastly Have you heard of a LOVE BOX? I had not either, but my cousins daughter sent me one. Her letter read;
“Dear Cindy,
You have just received a love box!
In this box you will find….
- Words & sounds to inspire your soul
- Bling for when you need a little pick me up
- Supplies to melt away the aches and pains of a bad day
- Cozy socks for when life gets a little too cold
- Lipstick to frame that beautiful smile that continues to shine so bright!
May this box make everything a little easier.
I love you ! You got this
Xoxo Meghan”
So for today, I will use my mineral bath therapy soak in my tub while listening to my new cd “You make me Brave” Afterwards, I will put on my cozy socks, apply my lipstick and put on my Bling. Its also the perfect fall day to settle down with my wonderful book, “God is Good” . I’m sure I will cry at some point, but its ok and I’m one step closer to being 100% healed.
Cindy
