Most of you know I’ve been dealing with cancer since 1989 with a whole person approach – mind, body, emotions, and spirit. I don’t say I’m “fighting” cancer because the imagery of war doesn’t resonate with me. Cancer has been, and continues to be, one of my teachers.
In March I attended a workshop with Dr. Joe Dispenza and am continuing in a local book study group to learn how to apply the principles to my life. We just finished reading You are the Placebo, in which he says “if you combine a clear intention with an uncompromising trust in possibility, then you’ll step into the unknown, and that’s when the supernatural starts to unfold.”
My clear intention is to have a healthy body, mind, and spirit. When that happens, the confirmation will be “No Evidence of Disease” – also called dancing with NED. In my daily meditations, I can feel my reaction to receiving that news as if it has already happened.
For the 5th month in a row, my cancer marker (CA27.29) has gone down. It’s now at 122. I am grateful, and expecting it to keep moving in this direction. I can barely find the cancerous lump under my arm because it keeps getting smaller.
Since much of the immune system is in the gut, digestive health is part of my health-promoting strategy. The diarrhea I struggled with for several years is not a problem as long as I don’t eat any grains. It took a long time to figure this out, and I’m happy we finally did. Even a few spoons of rice creates a problem, so no grains for me for a while.
It’s possible that taking Femara has done the heavy lifting in this improvement. It blocks the estrogen that feeds my cancer. I continue to experience side effects from Femara – fatigue, bone pain, and hot flashes, and I can live with these.
My experience of wholeness and health is enhanced by fostering the feelings of acceptance, gratitude, and curiosity. As JD Martin and Jan Garrett sing in one of my favorite songs – “I’ve got no complaints whatsoever.” You can listen to it here.
So thrilled to read these comments. I attended a Dr. Joe Progressive a couple of years ago. He is an amazing coach. I also appreciate the work of Gregg Braden and Bruce Lipton. These three men are on the cutting edge of quantum healing.
If you can live as if you are already healed and believe with all your heart and soul that you are completely well, you indeed will be. (in fact, perhaps you already are). I do not check my markers, or do any diagnostic work because that information does ultimately not serve me. I listen to and pay close attention to my body. Like your grain issue, your body lets you know what it needs or doesn’t need.
Stay on this path, Jan. It is so inspiring!!
Hi Jan. I am so thrilled that your internalized wisdom is paying off for you now. I am a big believer in the aromatase inhibitors, a healthy and friendly diet for your body, exercise, passion, purpose, joy and love!
Spot on.

Happy to hear that your numbers are stable, Jan. The power of grains is amazing. It’s not easy to give grains up! Stay strong and stay the course. Smiles, Terri
I’m a 15 year colon cancer survivor. I too learned a lot from the cancer. I also listen to my body and even ask questions. When I asked why did I have to have my anus sewed up and replaced with a colostomy? The answer I got was, “Anne, you are too anal about life in general. Lighten up a bit.” Well I can tell you that I’m no longer over committed and stressed about life at all. I’m able to let go and let God run my life. I’m a healthy, happy, peaceful 82 year old and grateful to be alive….colostomy and all. Thank you for your blog, I’m sure many people benefit from your story. Love & Blessings, Anne
