NEVER AT THE EXPENSE OF JOY
In NEVER AT THE EXPENSE OF JOY, I share personal stories that offer insight into the importance of living an authentic life underpinned by my four core values of love, kindness, gratitude and, above all, joy. Some of these stories include, for instance, my personal experience of living with terminal cancer, my heart stopping on an operating table, surviving a physically abusive relationship, working in an orphanage in Malaysia, being the first responder to a suicide attempt, surviving my mum’s sterilisation in utero and growing up on the Channel Island of Guernsey.
I tell these stories through the lens of shamanism, delving deeply into how these experiences have enabled me to question the ...

I'm a 31 year old woman with stage four ovarian cancer. I blog about my cancer journey, positivity and the importance of maintaining a holistic balance of physical, emotional and spiritual health. I also talk about the importance of spending time in nature, remaining active and eating the right food. I met with my surgical team a week ago and they provided me with an update of what my surgery n...

I like the colors of head cloths too. This chemo is hard. Losing my hair is hard. I had a good cry. Well. May the grace of God be with us guiding us.

I guess its the whole cancer journey going on. Thank you for showing your head coverings. They look lovely. My daughter bought me different kinds. I love them all.

    I have uteran and cervical cancer, just had port insertion surgery yesterday, I start my 1st chemo treatment June 30th, so next Friday, my oncologist has already warned me that I'm going to lose my hair and I'm scared to death of that, I have waist length hair, am also very self conscious with severe anxiety, I have bought like 6-7 chemo hats, just am unsure how to wear them, am scared of what to expect, even at going on 49 years old, I have no family support, no friends, well 1 good friend (my other half) he's the only support I have, if those who've been going through chemo have any tips for a new comer please let me know, I did NOT expect to be going through chemo at almost 50 years old...I wish I still had my mom, I lost her to ALS Jan 21st 2016

      Are you able to get to a Maggie's centre? You will be welcomed by lovely people and given help and support. Then there's 'Look Good, Feel Better' which is wonderful, you get to meet others going through cancer, and advice on make-up and hair care, along with a free goodie bag. Anxiety is awful, too, so speak to your GP and don't be afraid to tell your nursing staff, they will support you. X You will be beautiful, with or without hair x

      Hi, I'm guessing you've done your first chemo by now. How has it's been? I'm glad people you've found some people from church to support you now. Just to share a little of my journey with cancer. I was diagnosed early this year with colon cancer that had spread to the liver. It was quite a shocker, of course, I was still in my 40s and was told that I only had months to live if I didn't get any immediate treatment. But, when my Oncologist laid the treatments plan to me, somehow I had my strengths back. To me, as long as the medical experts came up with a plan that means there's still hope. No matter how small that was. The plan involved 12 cycles of chemo. I was so ready to go through this, including the chance I might lose my hair. The doctor also mentioned that one of side effects from the chemo meds that I was getting was scary acnes all over my body - from head to toes, skin dryness and irritations. I was ready for this too. My thought was I don't care how the side effects was or how I would look like, as long as I could beat this cancer. My mind don't give in fighting this, my prayers are for me to keep my positive vibes going all through this journey and for my body to respond to the treatments well. From the initial prediction of my Oncologist, there's a possibility that my cancer couldn't be cured 100%. I might have to live with cancer for the rest of my life. The meds would help me going through this painlessly. But there was an advice from my relative who is a cancer survivor and it strengthen me: try to make a peace with cancer. It was a simple sentence that boosted my strengths up to another level and I've been implanted it in my mind ever since. Instead of hating and fighting the cancer, I'm making peace with it and embrace the journey. I might going to live side-by-side with it, so I have to recognize it's present and be cool with it. Now, I'm doing things one little step at a time. Follow the doctor's orders. If today I had to do chemo, I'd do it. If today I felt weak, meaning I need to rest more. If today I gained more strengths than usual, I'd occupied my time doing something I was able to do with my capacity. And so on... I'm doing things one step at a time. Accepting and embracing this journey. 😊 And to my surprise my hair is still intact. My skin has been experiencing acnes and dryness on my scalp and body, but not on my face. In a glance, people wouldn't know that I have cancer if I didn't tell them, even though I need to use a wheelchair getting my groceries at the store, or going to a mall, or seeing a movie in a theater 😊 However, I'm planning to shave my head bald just to make it easier for me to apply the cream on my scalp - hence I'm seeing this video 😊. Sorry if I talked to much, thou. I hope we could meet in person just for a chitchat, but I live in the other side of the planet 😁 If you'd like to stay connected, just let me know. We could email or online chat. I'm sending my prayers your way. Keep your strengths. Accept. Make a peace. One step at a time. You can do this 😊❤

      @@joannabucktrout5393 I can't fault the care I've had from everyone in the NHS, to start with! It was hard getting back on my feet after surgery, but that's partly because I had other health issues going on (osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis). I had eight sessions of chemo and then about the same of immunotherapy, and now I'm back on another round of chemo - six sessions this time, and I've had three of them. First week after chemo, I feel pretty poorly, than I start to feel better. First time round, I lost my hair - one thing I didn't expect, is that it hurts! But it soon passes and this time (on different drugs) I've kept itx.Just remember; the treatment isn't being done TO you, it's being done FOR you x

    I've learned how to deal with any virus/infection/cancer from Aage Nost, metaphysician To combat any infectious disease/cancer, You must put oxygen in your blood stream to alkalize the body Alkalize the body: take 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, stir in a glass of water(preferably distilled), sit down, take about 20 deep breaths til dizzy, repeat breathing for 5 minutes. Do this everymorning. If you are already sick, do this multiple times a day. Viruses/bacteria/cancer cant thrive in oxygen so you need oxygen in your blood. Do this so you wont get sick.
