Today I celebrate myself and all the other Brain Cancer / Tumor Survivors and THRIVERS 🦸🏻♀️ while also honoring those that lost their lives to it. 🧠
It’s the last weekend of Brain Cancer / Tumor Awareness Month and many have lost their lives and loved ones to this, many have a tumor and don’t even know it, and many like myself have had a rebirth journey due to it! 💖
Each story varies and I don’t believe in prognoses, which is why I continue to share my personal story because according to the stats, I should be long gone right now and instead I’m going on almost 4 years of THRIVING and impacting many others in their HEALing Journey! 🧠💖💫
Was it easy? NO! 🙅🏻♀️
I had major inflammation, scar oozing, rashes, flare ups, enemas, and so much more including days of excruciating pain that our minds tend to block out for good reason! 😖
But none of it stopped me! And I just kept on pushing through KNOWING it was temporary! 💪🏼
Did I scream my lungs out? 🗣🫁 YES! Multiple times… I did LOTS of anger release let me tell ya! 😜
Did I cry my eyes out? 👀😭 ABSOLUTELY! Especially after that BULLSHIT prognosis that NO ONE should be told, Ashkan and I both cried ourselves to sleep in each other’s arms for several nights thereafter! 💖
At times I had thoughts of “this must be how I go” during the 10+ day INTENSE head to toe, inside out allergic reaction I had to one of the seizure meds that no one was able to identify 😒, which caused me to stay up ALL NIGHT wanting to scratch my eyeballs out with maybe 1-2hrs of sleep a night shortly after brain surgery, when sleep is CRUCIAL for healing! 🤬
I can’t tell you how thankful I am to Ashkan for being the one in the middle of the night to discover it was the seizure meds causing the hives, inflammation, and peeling like a snake! He called me at 3am because he too was staying up to frantically research and figure out WTF was going on with me. Of course I was wide awake scratching away and he told me I needed to stop immediately! 😳
So I had my 5th trip to the ER the following morning before my bridal shower that I missed the first couple hours of. 😔
I share all parts of my journey because life isn’t always easy, AND it can be handled with EASE when we have FAITH that EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS WORKING OUT FOR OUR HIGHEST GOOD! 🧠💖💫
Something I never stopped believing and continue to believe even today as I share my brain tumor HEALing story while I go through the next journey of Conception, which yet again I have FAITH it is ALL working out for me Highest Good! 🥰🤰🏻💖
I believe we ALL can live life to the fullest in the face of ANY circumstance as long as we CHOOSE that route and not become victims of our circumstances! 🧠💖💫
