It was the diagnosis nobody thinks will happen to them.
"It's not the aggressive kind, it's low grade", he said with an optimistic smile.
"It will require you to have a full hysterectomy"...WAIT, WHAT!?!
At that point, I completely shut down, disassociated from the whole event and went completely into my FEAR response of fawn, in other words, I HAD LEFT THE BUILDING!
Coming to terms with my diagnosis in the coming days, I began the hunt to learn more and quickly discovered there was a lot of misinformation, conflicting information and a
whole bunch of zero information out there.
And the days leading up to the surgery, were nerve wracking and the emotions, they were on a whole other level.
Being a Trauma Therapist you know a thing or two about emotions and how to manage them, and I had an amazing array of fellow therapists, healers and friends to support me.
I decided to enlist the help of my TEAM, the people I trusted that were going to support me through this journey.
Releasing my anxieties and fears, doing ceremonial rituals to saying goodbye to my reproductive system, inviting in my energetic womb space. Not to mention the celebration of
what my feminine creative space had brought me up until this new phase of my life's journey.
It was an incredibly empowering process.
Needless to say, I sailed through my surgery and my healing was profound.
Three weeks post op, my
surgeon calls, I sunk, bracing myself for what he was about to say...
YOU'RE CANCER FREE!!! It had actually REGRESSED!
He was amazed! All this woo woo, releasing emotions, and deep healing, the
deepest I've ever done, was actually normalising the cells!
