Heal Thy Self
The New Me
As I sat there receiving my diagnosis, the weight of it all didn’t truly hit me until I entered the Miami Cancer Institute. The atmosphere was heavy with memories—passing the wig shop brought back vivid images of my mom, while the sight of people in wheelchairs reminded me of my grandma. A few years back, I watched both of them take their last breath to cancer. I suddenly realized that this time, it was my journey. Unlike the fear and helplessness that clouded my memories of their struggles, I felt a strange sense of resolve. I was now the one in the ring, ready to fight my own battle against cancer. This was to be the new me, transformed by adversity yet determined to make my story one of strength and survival. The challenge ahead was daunting, but I was ready to embrace it, driven by the love and memories of those who had walked this path before me.
My mission
Facing metastatic thyroid cancer is a formidable challenge, but knowledge and preparation are essential weapons in this battle. I am committed to learning everything I can about the latest treatments available, ranging from cutting-edge therapies to traditional approaches that hold promise in managing this condition. Nutrition will also play a crucial role in my strategy; understanding how dietary choices can support my body and enhance overall well-being is vital. By arming myself with information and adopting a proactive mindset, I aim to navigate this journey with resilience and determination. Each step I take towards education and self-empowerment will help me fight back against this illness and work towards a brighter, healthier future.
My vision
In my quest for knowledge, I aim to absorb as much as I can and share this enriching journey with the world around me. By focusing on my personal growth, I aspire not only to improve my own life but also to extend a helping hand to others who face similar challenges. I believe that through our shared experiences and the insights I gain, I can provide guidance and support to those navigating their own paths. Each lesson learned becomes a tool that can empower others, creating a ripple effect of positivity and encouragement. Ultimately, my goal is to inspire a community where we uplift one another, fostering resilience and understanding in the face of life's obstacles.
