[𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭] This Saturday, I’ll be sharing my cancer journey alongside a professional doctor for the first time. Six years ago, at just 36 years old, I battled breast cancer. It was a tough time financially, with insurance not covering everything and bills piling up. I had to switch to a cheaper hospital for treatment. I’ll never forget the kindness of my doctor, who waived her fee knowing my financial struggles. Her words, “life is more important than money,” touched my heart. At the new hospital, Dr. Lee became like a big sister to me. Even though she was covering for my regular oncologist on leave, she made me feel safe and answered all my questions. Last month, I bumped into Dr. Lee at a Breast Cancer Foundation event, and she remembered me! Now, I’ve been invited to share my cancer journey on a Facebook livestream. Exciting, right? At 36, I was considered young to have cancer, so the theme for the talk is “Common Cancers in Young Women.” During the livestream, I’ll talk about: 1. The importance of having friends and family support during a cancer journey, and the joy of being part of a cancer support group. 2. How cancer changed my perspective on life. 3. The belief that cancer isn’t a bad luck; instead it can make you stronger and happier in the end. P.S. If you’d like to join the livestream and ask questions, just comment “me” below, and I’ll send you the link. #CancerAwareness #SurvivorStories #LivestreamEvent #SupportGroup #PositiveOutlook #kmeganiztv #cancerthriver
There’s no right answer! Just discussion.. Everyone is different. What’s working for you? Talking about what feels optimal for not just prevention and cancer fighting but also importantly, side effect reducing. My integrative oncologist would prefer I be on a clean keto diet with lots of quality meats and fats, but I struggle to do so. I personally FEEL best (and my side effects from no estrogen are at a minimum) when I eat a low carb, low processed food diet focused on nutrient dense protein, veggies, berries and good fats. But man does that get boring and restrictive fast, so I find myself bouncing in and out of it. Michelle practices more moderation, aiming for some semblance of the Mediterranean diet. She cooks everyday and practices balance. As much as I try, I am a person of extremes and tend to cut carbs then binge, which I know is not good. I would say the main difference in Michelle and I’s idea of a “cancer fighting plate” is her inclusion of grains and legumes. We both try to focus on “getting our veggies in” especially cruciferous. But again, we have an idea of what we think is right, which we strive for about 80% of the time, but we also know that life is for living and food is meant to be enjoyed! But on a good day.. what do you strive for in terms of diet? #breastcancerdiet #cancerdiet #cancernutrition #breastcancerthriver #cancerthriver #breastcancerprevention
Packing up a shipment of books for an upcoming speaking event with @nccnorg and it got me thinking- Since it’s May, and in May we go GREY, why not donate every single cent of book proceeds in May to #braincancerawareness?! A percentage of proceeds from #difficultgiftsbook always goes towards brain cancer awareness, but in May it ALL goes. Need a Mother’s Day gift? Birthday present? Get well soon goodie? Difficult Gifts is a memoir written by a lady with cancer, but it’s not about cancer. I don’t even like cancer memoirs 😑. It’s a memoir about LIFE. Beautiful, perfectly imperfect life. 🐘🪷🧠🩶🩶 Xoxo, Courtney #braintumorawareness #braintumorsurvivor #cancerawareness #braincancer #glioma #astrocytoma #glioblastoma #meningioma #raiseawareness #cancerthriver #elephantlotusbraintumor #gogreyinmay #gograyinmay

Rewriting My Breast Cancer Diagnosis Your arrival, confirmed by the biopsy, marked the beginning of a battle I never anticipated. Yet, from that moment on, I made a commitment to confront you head-on. Through the challenging journey of - surgeries, chemotherapy, possible hair loss and radiation - I will thrive. Each step I take along this challenging journey speaks of my resilience and unwavering confidence. My journey is not about surrendering to this breast cancer diagnosis and side effects; it is about thriving. Every day brings renewed strength, resilience, and confidence. I am not merely surviving; I am thriving in defiance of your presence. #thrivingafterdiagnosis #confidenceafterdiagnosis #breastcancer #BreastCancerJourney #ConfidenceIsPower #BreastCancerThriver #MindsetMonday #confidenceMonday #thrive #encourage #conquerorsmindset #Monday #motivationalpost #inspirational #inspirationalquote #survivor #cancerthriver #breastcancersurvivor #cancersurvivor #cancerwarrior #cancer #breastcancer #lifeaftercancer #confidence #chemo #radiation #conqueror #diagnosis #breastcancerdiagnosis

Not to sound dramatic, but every time I do an activity these days I wonder, “Will this be the last time…in a long time?” I thought that about this bike ride because the radiation to my pelvis is supposed to make the skin down there super sensitive. But this makes me appreciate each present moment. I treasured the time with my amazing, supportive husband, Joel, who took this photo. I don’t know about tomorrow, but today my body feels good enough to do this. Confession: my mind didn’t feel good enough to go downtown to cheer for the #bmohalfmarathon. I was supposed to be guiding Daryl, but I had to find a replacement. I would have had to make too many bathroom stops. I was supposed to cheer for the friends I trained with. I couldn’t bring myself to be there if I couldn’t be ALL there. I don't have a lesson for this side of the story, other than cancer can feel like a blessing and a curse at the same time. Here I am living in the tension of both/and. How about you? #carpediem #pluckynotperfect #coloncancer #cancerthriver #triathlete #swimbikerun #run #runner #motherrunner #runnergirl

Are you recovering from cancer or hoping to prevent it in the first place? 🤔 Feeding our body the nutrients it needs to fight inflammation reduces cancer risk. Nutrients provide our body what it needs to function; protein, fibre, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, healthy fats and so much more.. Each helps reduce inflammation and helps cells muscles, organs and systems perform vital functions to keep us alive and well. So, how do I nourish my body with the nutrients it needs? I mostly eat: 😇 Veggies & fruits 😇 Wholegrains: brown / black rice, quinoa, barley, wholemeal pasta & bread, spelt or rye bread, spelt pasta 😇 Beans: black, kidney, edamame 😇 Legumes: tofu, chickpeas, lentils 😇 Nuts & Seeds 😇 Fermented foods: tempeh, sauerkraut, miso, kefir Sometimes eat: 🙂 Meat (I aim for grass fed or organic, 500g max red meat per week) 🙂 Fish (especially oysters, mussels and oily fish like salmon) 🙂 Dairy (I choose Greek yoghurt, parmesan, haloumi cheese) 🙂Eggs (I buy biodynamic or at least organic) And I avoid inflammatory foods that DON'T contain nutrients: 😒 Red & processed meats (bacon, ham) 😒 Chips & fast foods 😒 Processed carbs like white bread, flour, baked goods 😒 Sugary sweets & beverages including alcohol 😒 Canola oil, sunflower oil, margarine, butter with margarine Stick to this, and you'll not only reduce your cancer risk significantly, but you'll also experience improved digestion, sharper thinking, weight-loss, and better energy!

Simply rinsing in running water removes 9 out of 12 pesticides and fungicides in vegetables and fruit. Most recently researchers found rice vinegar is THE best solution to remove pesticides. Rice vinegar is often💰expensive, so we will stick with organic when possible and baking soda or vinegar washes.

Here's how I Did It! Coming out of my last chemo cycle, I was sitting in my car. I had this overwhelming sense of relief - which was quickly followed by worry. Now that I am officially “cancer free” how am I going to STAY cancer free! My oncologist wanted to see me back in 3 months. They would monitor me with scans and blood work for any recurrence. But I felt like I was waiting for the other shoe to drop! What was I supposed to do NOW to help keep me stay cancer free. I asked my team about diet - and they referred me to a dietitian who just gave me a print out of different vegetables. It wasn’t helpful. I asked about things to change in my house or products to avoid - and they said to not worry about it. I asked about my exercise - how could I get back to working out now that I was done with treatment. They said to go back to what I was doing before cancer. But I was doing all these things BEFORE and I still got cancer! What was going to be different this time?! NOTHING. I needed a better way. Here is exactly what worked for me and for over 400 women in the Cancer Freedom Program. Now I want to share it with you.

I was such an immersed pain yesterday, just to exist hurt in many many ways. My injured right side was so weak that I wasn't able to walk and hold things properly. I never felt so vulnerable in my life. (It was my last MS shub when I got half-side paralyzed.) Today I feel better, my body is still aching but I can do things. I did my nails and washed my head; only a few hairs fell out. I'm so glad to see this. The picture was taken on Friday when the pain started to get worse. Yesterday I couldn't hold my phone and turn it to flight mode. #cantwaittobeover #cancerfighter #cancerthriver #chemotherapy #taxane #chemobaldness #breastcancercommunity #breastcancerjourney #cancerdiary #cancerdiaries #breastcancerawareness #mscommunity #msshub #msrelapse #cancerandms #msfighter👊 #msjourney

✒️ Got myself some ink tats👆🏻😉 I have been unsure about this post for many reasons, but mainly because that ‘naughty voice’ is telling me I’m a failure to post it, and I’ve let everyone down.🤔 However, that’s actually the old me and she’s long gone ! 📊 I’m not a statistic. I’m not a label. I’m ME and this is my story. So here we are 👆🏻 I had an intuition recently to get a check of my right breast (the one where I had my surgery). As usual my intuition was right. My last scan didn’t even pick this up, I did. (Lesson right there). I had a new breast cancer in the area where I had my previous surgeries. I had surgery this week to have it removed. My fourth surgery now. I’m recovering well and it was lovely to head home today. A big thank you to the hospital staff, doctors and nurses who were incredible and looked after me very well. No head tilts please, just lots of prayers and loving intention. 😉🙏🏻💖 How different I feel this time. I have a tool box. My intentions … To continue to #unravel 👷♀️Building on that mind body connection, knowing when to move and when to rest. 😴 Resting will be non-negotiable if that’s what I need to do that day. ❌ To continue being mindful of what I consume both in and outside of my body. ✅ To continue to stay true to my core beliefs and what I believe God put me here for. Specifically my children and my family. Giving myself and them space. Keeping my life as simple and basic as I can. 👉🏻 To continue to share some of my health knowledge and experience. Sharing the tools and modalities. 💃🏼 To continue to spread my message of hope and positivity. Showing you that you can LIVE life with and well beyond a diagnosis. It’s not ideal, but life isn’t, and this is simply the next part of my story. So I will share (bits I feel I can) with you, because that’s why I set up this page after all. I hope I continue to help many of you to prevent and thrive with or without dis-ease. 🙏🏻 Keep unravelling!

How many times have you heard, “Take this supplement to kill cancer cells” or “eat these foods to stop cancer”...and you KNOW there has got to be more to it than that? 🤦♀️ Most advice for helping to keep cancer from coming back is NOT created with a holistic view in mind. We have: *hormones to manage *gut health to optimize *immune system to strengthen *environmental contaminants to remove *vitamins to optimize *cancer stress to reduce ++ families to love, careers to manage, birthday parties to go to, and dogs to walk ++ So the journey to blocking cancer isn’t as plain as take this supplement and eat this food. But it can be as simple as learning about your cancer strengths and vulnerabilities and diving into a plan that is focused on what’s MOST important for you to block cancer (and not trying everything under the sun in hopes that something will work - you’ll just burn out). I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and I’ve spent the past 20+ years understanding cancer, which led me to discover a protocol that focuses on diving deep into someone’s entire picture of health and designing a path for a whole-body approach to blocking cancer - two things that generic plans almost always ignore (a personal deep dive and focusing on optimizing health instead of just killing cancer)! It’s helped numerous women love their lives after cancer WITHOUT feeling restricted, afraid, or overwhelmed. You can begin your deep dive and plan of blocking cancer with a whole-body approach TODAY in The Roadmap To Recovery.

All the beautiful creatures I have been around since coming home to mum and dad’s. I have always been a huge animal lover. To be honest, I never feel alone when I am around them, they really are a blessing and a treasure. Being surrounded by them really helps me and makes me feel less pity on what I have been through. Love and be kind to animals 🤍 #nature #animals #beauty #home #cancersurvivor #cancerthriver #therapy #naturelovers #townsville #gifts #love #peace #nurture

For many women managing the symptoms from Menopause can be even harder than active treatment. Women that have hormone based cancers such as breast and ovarian cannot go down the conventional HRT route, without careful consideration and thorough medical consultations. Managing our symptoms is a constant battle. Hot flushes are one of these lovely symptoms! For anyone who is lucky enough not to experience them, let me describe them: 🔥You are heated from the inside out. 🔥It can start at the base of your legs and travel all the way up until it peaks in your face. 🔥You can really sweat, whether that be at night or during the day. 🔥Hot flushes can last 5mins long (please correct me if I am wrong!) I am sure there is plenty more to this - so please feel free to share what a hot flush feels like for you below.👇🏻 Hot flushes can have the following effect on women: 1️⃣ Disturbed sleep - to significant challenges sleeping 2️⃣ Reduced confidence 3️⃣ Significant irritability Amongst others. Here are a few things you can do. ❤️Reduce alcohol intake ❤️Eliminate processed foods ❤️Eliminate sugar ❤️Eat more whole foods - this one is a biggie. If you cant reduce the other stuff, increase these foods! Link to article in my bio for more info Try that for a week and let me know how it goes for you.🙏 #cancercoach #breastcancer #breastcancersurvivor #takebackcontrol #eatright #foodfuelsyourbody #foodnoursihesyourbody #reframing #reframe #cancercoaching #tamoxifen #tamoxifensucks #exercisesenergisesas #lifeaftercancer #cancer #cancerslayer #anastrazole #zolodex #staypositive #thebodyheals #triplepositivebreastcancer #triplesnegativebreastcancer #cancersucks #cancerthriver #stage1breastcancer #stage2breastcancer #stage3breastcancer #metastaticsbreastcancer #hotflush

Delighted to share the artwork of artist, cancer survivor and Lupus spoonie, Sharon Denes, today! Through her art profile @lillyandspoon cute, party hat donning stick figured characters - often accompanied by an empathic spoon - share cutting truths about chronic illness, survivorship and the need for community amidst colorful, polka dotted backdrops. These characters and thoughts are brought beyond the screen in the form of stickers, pins and other merch you can purchase at www.etsy.com/shop/LillyandSpoon Relating to the first slide of artwork? Here are Sharon's encouraging thoughts that accompanied it... "Learning how to exist after a diagnosis can be challenging. Sometimes it feels like I have been swallowed whole by some mythical creature that chewed me up and then threw me out into a world that feels upside down. Cancer, chronic illness, which ever it may be, is life changing. Part of healing is learning who we are after our diagnosis. This takes time, way more time than we expect. But we can get there. We can grow and find calmness in our new bodies. We can live and enjoy a world that is more than our diagnosis. One day at a time, finding the little things that bring you calmness and joy. You are more than your diagnosis. You are a piece of beautiful tangled art that is constantly evolving." 🖤 #cancersurvivor #cancersurvivors #cancerhealing #cancerthriver #cancerart #healingthroughart #breastcancer #breastcancercommunity #breastcancersurvivor #livingbeyondbreastcancer #cancersurvivorship #lupus #spoonielife #spoonies #chronicillness

No matter what has been showing up for you recently, I’m confident that you will feel hopeful and inspired after you listen to today’s podcast! I speak to Christine Handy, an international print and runway model, who was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 42. She is the author of the book, Walk Beside Me, a fictional depiction of her life. Christine became a key-note speaker after her book was published in 2016. She is also a mentor, breast cancer advocate, public figure, nationally recognized humanitarian, and mother of two sons. Christine serves on the board of three non-profit organizations: People of Purpose, the Break Free Foundation, and the Wonder Women Initiative. Her first novel is currently being adapted into a film called, Hello Beautiful. During our conversation, Christine shares what gave her the strength to move forward after three serious health issues beginning at age 35, her treatment protocol that lasted for 15 months, how she discovered breast implant illness soon after her breast implants were recalled, the decision to walk New York Fashion Week after she became flat, why she was determined to get her novel made into a movie, and how saying “YES” to a meeting with a former prisoner led to an incredible non-profit.

Reflecting on my journey as a cancer survivor, wellness advocate, author, and speaker, I can't help but feel immense gratitude for the power of journaling in promoting mental well-being. As I wrote "The Case for Hope," I realized the importance of offering others the roadmap and alternative thought processes that I wish I had during my own battle with cancer. Journaling became my sanctuary, a space where I could explore my emotions, fears, and hopes with honesty and clarity. So here's to embracing the power of journaling, to crafting our own stories of resilience, and to living each day with intention and gratitude. #book #cancersurvivor #cancerthriver #jenniferwrites #thecaseforhope #womenwhowrite #writer #booksaboutcancer #booksaboutsurviving #cancer #braincancersurvivor #mental #mentalhealth #journaling

A reminder to give yourself GRACE✨ Life after cancer is hard AF, it took me years to find my “new normal” and I am still learning every day🫶🏻 Cancer is a life time diagnosis where hurt, healing and happiness all coexist and it’s one hell of a rollercoaster ride🦋💛🕊️ #cancersucks #cancersurvivor #cancerwarrior #cancerthriver #cancerfighter #thyroidcancer #thyroidcancerwarrior #ayacancer #ayacancerawareness #cancersucksyoudont #cancermotivation #lifeaftercancer
A few weeks ago, I had a check up with my oncologist. He looked through my blood work and said with a smile, ‘wow, what’s your secret?’ … which is excellent news, gave me a little proud glow. And got me thinking. What IS my secret?? I mean, I generally choose a healthy lifestyle. I exercise quite a lot. But a lot less than I used to. I try to prioritize sleep. But I suffer from insomnia sometimes. I try not to let stress take over. But my kids frequently push me over the edge. Parenting is not good for cortisol levels. My choices are definitely not perfect. I’ve just been on holiday and had at least one ice cream, usually two, every day. I do a lot less intense exercise than I used to so overall, I’m much less fit than I used to be. I still eat sugar and dairy and meat. I still enjoy the occasional drink. So I’m delighted that my blood seems to be top of the bloodwork class. What’s my point here? I’ve come to realize : My secrets aren’t secrets. They’re quite boring. And not very surprising. Can you guess? Moderation. Consistency. Forever. Since cancer, I have changed my diet. I eat a lot more vegetables and fruit. And good fats. But I still eat the stuff I enjoy and we still eat as a family, which means pizza and fish fingers sometimes. Since cancer I have reduced my alcohol consumption to one or two glasses of wine a week. I regularly go a couple of weeks without a drink. I pick my moments. Since cancer, I have changed my exercise focus. I am still an endurance girl at heart. But I’ve taken the pressure off performance and added in a lot more strength work and physio to help my creaky joints. I swim regularly to help lymphoedema. And sleep. I still sometimes get phases of insomnia, but since I have made a conscious decision not to sweat the small stuff, I sleep better. If I’m having night sweats or my mind is whirring, I’ve learnt to trust that it’s temporary and I will fall back to sleep. Or sleep better the next night. So, no surprises. No secrets. No quick fix. But it’s really good to know that my choices show in my blood. Also talking of consistency I seem to have a 2 fingers photo thing going on. Need to work on that! 🤣
