Cancer and COVID

I feel like through my cancer journey I was  stripped of everything.  My freedom, my health,  my old life.  Time stood still- it froze actually and  suddenly my health was the only thing that mattered. I focused on my health.  

During the time of chemo treatments, radiation and eventually surgery I I learnt how to take care of my  mind,  body and spirit in a way I never knew  imaginable.  I was a relatively healthy person before my diagnosis but there were layers that were  uncovered and discovered .  I began to understand the interconnectivity of it all.  

My immune system was compromised during and years after treatments.   It was a daily practice not to live in fear. 

The  Pandemic of Coronavirus has created a  deja vue effect, I am feeling it  all over again-  the fear of getting sick, the vulnerability.  The quarantine time when we are being forced to sit still go inward and feel uncomfortable-  this is a flashback! 

My advice, my truthful advice is  to let this happen.  SLOW DOWN, GO INWARD, REST, HEAL.   This experience may be your biggest teacher yet. There are tools you can use.   I relied on  Meditation, yoga, breathwork and other forms of  movement,  make sure you have a support network, talk to people on the phone or FaceTime.  Find your virtual community.  

There are some ways we can boost our immunity.  I am not a doctor of the body but they call me the doctor of love :)  Here is my prescription.
