Tania's Cancer Story

​

On February 14, 2022, I was diagnosed with a rare blood bone/marrow cancer called Multiple Myeloma and within 8 months, I went through an toxic induction period of chemotherapy, an autologous stem cell transplant, with a broken spine and achieved remission. During that period of time, I used all of my emotional strength, resources, knowledge and education to support myself with non-conventional, non-toxic Integrative therapies/medicine and holistic nutrition, so that I could support my body and truly heal once and for all.

 

This “cancering process” was not a result of poor dietary habits, genetics, or lifestyle… I believe that my cells were listening to the HAVOC I was causing to myself-physically & emotionally and for my radical healing to happen, it involved getting very intimate with the pressure I was putting on myself to be PERFECT in every way, professionally, physically & personally. I had some soul searching to do! Cancer does not have to be a DEATH sentence, although conventional toxic treatment approaches will kill you, if you lack knowledge & resources to damage control! Cancer is in my opinion, is a lack of systematic balance because a “healthy” person is not supposed to get cancer. So obviously, I was "out of balance" in many of my terrains, despite my extremely healthy lifestyle!

 

I was carrying so many emotional wounds that I couldn’t let go of, and it finally manifested into “dis-ease” as a feared it would...MY CELLS WERE LISTENING. I had to figure out what was out of sync! Yes, I did the conventional treatment to put out the fire, but I was also doing a lot of Integrative Oncology and Integrative Nutrition/Supplementation & Exercise to support and mitigate any side effects, symptoms, and for prevention of reoccurrence. Now, main focus is supporting my immune system, my metabolic health & finding more JOY in my life, so that my terrain is inhospitable to Cancer.

My tenacity, grit, and resiliency are my psychological assets.
