My way

Five and a half years ago, I was the happiest woman on the planet. I was 52 years old. My motto was “50 is only the beginning of life”. My dreams awaited, and I was ready.

Two weeks before my wedding, I was diagnosed with uterine cancer, stage 3. In this one brutal moment, my entire life was split into two parts: before and after. I was in a world of fear where I had to learn to live and think differently, to understand and accept the new me and my new condition.

It was my choice not to be a victim of my situation, but a winner; to be active no matter what, to do everything possible not only to survive, but thrive. I knew it was time for change, renewal and rebirth.

I always had energy, but after chemotherapy and radiation, I lost it. I was filled with fear and sadness. I did not know how to cope with all my negative emotions. I could not sleep.

My healing journey that began with surgery and cancer treatments was long and arduous, but also truly powerful and transformational. It taught me resilience and self-empowerment and has changed the whole course of my life.

I began to search for ways to improve my health and regain my energy. I just wanted to feel better; I dreamt to be active and laugh again!
