Monday club lol

jodi, sorry to hear about the LE. def find a LE specialist and have them take a look at it. it's a congestion of your lymph nodes system. it's much harder to get the swelling down on fingers. lymphatic system is supposed to remove toxic from our system, so try to keep it flowing. coffee makes it sticky...so cut back on coffee. drink lots of water so it's fluid and moving along in your body. i have my MIDDLE finger obviously bigger than the rest of my fingers...hahaha...my index finger slimmed down though. 

if you have a mini trampoline, try it. raise your hands up and down while bouncing. it helps a little. i've been only bouncing for less than a week, i could feel my arm pit a little bit better. 

a year! June today is your year mark. yesterday was mine. Looking forward to many more! Sending love to you all. Last year seems like an out of body experience

happy thanksgiving!!

Happy thanksgiving all! I had my cancerversary (of the dx) on November 16 and I spent time being grateful for how far I've come. Studies have shown that no matter what bad thing, or good thing for that matter, happens to you, in 6 mo to a year you will be in a similar state of happiness to what you were before. However, if you indulge in a regular practice of gratitude, you can raise your happiness setpoint by 25%.

Deb, the depression is so completely gone I can't even remember what it felt like. I know it was bad, but I can't seem to relate to it anymore. I've been seeing a therapist thru my holistic doc, but I honestly think the EFT did more to fix it than anything else. It's like a miracle.

I had an amazing thing happen lately that was centered around that EFT--I was getting ready to drive the hour over to a dance one evening but was feeling slightly depressed and off kilter. I decided to do a tapping session in the few min before leaving but as I tapped, I felt myself getting more upset and I started crying. I was very surprised by this so decided to do another round and it was some better so I did another one and suddenly I got very angry! I was shouting and yelling that no one would ever dictate to me again how I should feel about myself. It was so cleansing and I went off to the dance with a lighter heart. I felt that I had gotten to the bottom of many of the issues that I'd been working on with my counselor and now it was all gone. This took a total of 10 minutes!

Then, shortly after getting to the dance, I met a very nice, suitable and handsome man and he was also interested in me. We set up a date for the following evening in a neighboring city but in that same city I had a date with someone else for an earlier time, lol. I decided to keep that date too, even tho I wasn't quite sure I wanted to, and I'm glad I did b/c I am now dating that second man and believe me, it felt good to have a choice. We've been dating for about a month and a half now and both of us are just amazed at how good it feels to be together. So that's the excitement in my life now and I honestly wonder if any of this would have happened before I unblocked myself with EFT. Of course he knows about the cancer and is concerned but has said my treatment is my choice and he will stand behind me in whatever I choose to do for treatment. At this point I honestly would not change a thing--not even getting the cancer. It has been a blessing in many ways.

yea June! That will be a wonderful break for you! Wishing everyone a great week! Amazing to think how far we have come in a year. I do think of cancer daily, but not every hour anymore! Progress

hello ladies...!! how's everyone doing?? hope you all are doing great...

new year, new beginning. i am doing quite well....boss has shown his support on my career growth. yay!!

Hey there Red, things are going great here--the new man is still dreamy and all is well there. All of the tough part of tx is done now and I'm in a holding pattern. Still have it--not growing. D has said that he will do whatever I need him to do to support me in this and for that I'm grateful.

I have a new friend who is 5 years out from a BC dx and she has only ever used holistic treatment. She's started a meetup group for likeminded people (holistic cancer) and several people have joined already. We have our first meeting on Feb 15 and it will be interesting to meet others. I haven't felt comfortable joining a support group yet b/c my experience with this has been so different that I'm not sure we could all relate. This one should be interesting b/c of course holistic therapies can be all over the board.

June, I'm glad to hear the job is going well--I know you were concerned a few months ago but it sounds like things are going great.
