Hope!
There is a feeling in my heart that I am not sure if I can describe to my fellow warriors who are awaiting test results, dealing with the emotions of a recent diagnosis, on the battlefield fighting against the biggest adversary you have ever faced, feeling cautiously victorious about beating your biggest opponent, waiting for that five year celebration or flipping the bird to the thought of an unexpected return as a person directly impacted by cancer...or feeling an over bearing inability to do anything useful to your loved one who is in the grips of something that you want to understand but can only offer your complete soul to the support of your warrior. It is a place that is so unknown because it is so indescribable...a place that takes you to the darkest depths of your soul and encourages you to find the brightest sunshine in the most unexpected blessings! To say it changes you and the people you surround is an ironic understatement but the journey can take you to a place of beauty and blessings that can transcend your soul if you allow it.
I had breast cancer and, frankly, I kicked the crap out of it! Oh, it took every ounce of my soul, every piece of my heart, incredible control of my mind, fantastic connection to those who love me so much and a connection to God and all that is good to get me through it...and, although there will be a constant tug to take me back to the grips of the cancer negatives, I pray to God every day that He will allow me to focus on me and the awesome impact that I can have on my myself, on my family and on all those who surround me as a result of this journey!
I want good. I want positive. I want the best health possible. I want to be open to the possibilities. I want to touch hearts and touch lives and be the source of positive change in so many lives. Thank you, Nerium International, for providing at least a catalyst to achieving some of my personal, self improvement and outreach goals by connecting to those who have suffered like me.
Mental health and control of our attitude is so instrumental to the success of beating this disease. Your body feels terrible. Your mind is so out of control at times and you are doing everything you can to just power through...I wish I had Nerium's support while I was going through my journey. You can...it is there for you!
Nerium International is an anti-aging company focused on skin and brain health, the two biggest organs in your body. I wish I had EHT and the skin care products during my treatment although I am appreciative that I accidentally came across them AFTER I had gone through surgery, chemo, radiation, surgery, surgery, surgery, etc. My skin hated every treatment causing premature aging, wrinkles, eczema, you name it. Not to mention the "chemo brain" and imbalance that I believe I can attribute to my chemo treatments. EHT helps to manage your brain and the emotions that you experience similar to PTSD, depression, forgetfulness, cloudiness, etc. And, the skin care products can help to prevent some of the symptoms you experience while going through treatment not to mention the refreshing reversal of some of the damage caused by the poison that offers you a new lease on life for a price.
I can help you and that is what I'm most excited about! Please take a moment to contact me through this blog and I will share some of the extraordinary information and products that have been so helpful to me! I am with you in this journey and I pray to God that he will allow me to touch your lives and bring back your happiness and zest for life that cancer wants so badly to take from you! You got this and I am looking forward to helping you however I can!
