Hi all,
I joined this forum when I was first diagnosed with breast cancer and I was terrified. (living at 100 miles an hour) I didn’t post then as it was all coming out negative and unhelpful. I am half way through my FEC chemo therapy and I am doing fine. Latest scan showed the tumours are shrinking and i have very little in the was of side effects. Reiki was tremedously beneficial to slowing my pace down as well as the healing benefits too many to type today.
My whole outlook on life, as it is now, has changed to the point friends ask me what I have done with the old me?

Everything that had to be done yesterday can wait, the people that can’t wait can GO!!

my treatment is my 1st priority

looking after myself is next eating washing doing all the things I wanted to do but didn’t have the time due to work loads.

doing something for someone else everday

speaking to at least 2 friends a day

using the bonus time wisely (Bonus time = the time it used to take me to blow dry my hair every day (11/2 hrs a day it used to take mne to blow dry it.)
going to bed and sleeping when I need to.

Things may get more difficult but i am ready to tackle anything.

Tell me more about the Reiki benefits! I’m attuned to Reiki level 2 and although I Reikied myself a lot at first, I’ve done hardly any since being treated for cancer; maybe I became a little disillusioned with it.

I still find it fascinating though, as for a few days after being attuned, by hands became very hot. I remember placing them on the kids and they looked at me incredulously and wondered how I could have such hot hands!

Although I haven’t done any Reiki to myself during this treatment, I have been pretty calm throughout, although I think it would be a different matter if my prognosis was not so good.

I know what you mean about this cancer being life changing. I think I will be more spontaneous in future and say yes to stuff instead of no.
