Sad Statistics do not get me down

15 04 2012

bunnyRight now, more than 600,000 people are living with a brain tumor diagnosis—and each day, another 500 people are diagnosed. these diagnoses can turn worlds upside down.  I feel like I have the new job to heal and I am still there healing and feeling great…dancing and teaching,  and helping my customers party by putting them in the best costumes ever.

I am enjoying my life more, learning more than ever before about nutrition and am healing one day at a time…Wow, where did this crazy brain tumor come from…even all my research has not come up with a clear answer but there is a lot I can do and you can do…..A great website  for folks to understand this better is http://www.abta.org/
Cancer you have scary statistics but you don’t scare me and I am learning and growing and fighting….

So this little bunny is not dancing with you Cancer





Beating you cancer and dancing through life…

I am winning this battle day by day….thanks to alternative medicine gurus and strong women Dr. Gerson and Dr. Budwig….see www.budwigcenter.com or www.gerson.org

These ladies have the right idea….make your body unreceptive to cancer growing ….there you are…live healthy to dance another day….and I am dancing and dancing but not with you cancer….because you are going away…..woo hoo!





No Cancer I will not dance with you, because I have Goddesses to dance with

belly dance for fun1500 Americans die every day from cancer. There is something wrong with that considering how much money and thought is given to this disease but watch out, because I know breakthroughs are happening every day and I have changed my life and body to be unreceptive to cancer.
I have been teaching lots of great belly dance classes at girls nights out and batcherlorette parties and the joy and thrill of sharing this amazing beautiful art with new folks keeps all evil away (just another benefit of dance and specifically belly dance) Dance is joyous and good….so dance if you are struggling or down and poof! …things get better….and of course the work out can do you no wrong….if you love dance….dance will love you back





No Cancer I will not dance with you because I am fighting you with hugs and prayers…

Yesterday a very nice customer teacher friend came in just to rent something fun and she asked to speack to me to tell me how much she liked me and thought I was special….I had to share with her about the evil cancer in my brain so that she would know if I vanished what might have happened.  The good thing about cancer (if there is any good thing) is that folks will tell you how much you mean to them and they will give you a hug, which I firmly believe squeezes cancer out of you. (so take that cancer!!)  As a christian I go through my days not really knowing if this person or that person is a Christian (by their actions you will know them) but I highly suspected many of my friends and acquaintances were….woo hoo….THEY ARE and they send prayers to our God in heaven for me….and I send prayers grateful for them….so take that cancer….who likes you?  NO ONE….so be gone!





No Cancer, I am playing Hooky today Chapter 4

24 02 2012

On my 5th chemo and radiation, I played hookey and went to work, eating raw foods andadopting a more holistic approach….I feel great but know that I will have to make a decision whether I am going to stand and fight with the Wonder Women and the traditional fight and ugly mask or look for another champion….it is horrible with the treatments are worse than the disease….but are they? The trouble is, I will only know if I am here to realize…..it is what it is……mostly sad.





Cancer let’s battle….setting up the battlefield Chapter 3

22 02 2012

Now the fun begins….what docs to trust because we sincerely do not keep cancer docs on call (known as oncologists) These doctors have to be warriors….I choose to call mine  Wonder Women because that is the kind of strength it will take to help me do battle with the gross looking evil cells that have invaded my gray matter…So now we find a very nice doctor named Dr. Tomberlin and she knows another doctor who has been recommended to me by a friend ….Dr. Heidi Jordan and so the fight begins….Right now cancer treatments are fairly basic with a Star Trek twist….chemo therapy to help the radiation/lazer…..They made a mask of my head with a mesh substance and this is one of the weapons we are using in our first skirmish….next visit they applied the mask and take pictures (cat scan) of my brain trying to pinpoint exactly what evil cells are left then the radiation computer machine is set to attack just the evil cells, leaving the good healthy cells to exist as my brain. I am on a drug called TemodarTEMOZOLOMIDE (te moe ZOE loe mide) is a chemotherapy drug. It is used to treat some kinds of brain cancer.(generic description from the internet) My doc said it is the sheild to the sword of radiation so cross your fingers….War is Hell…..Now onto the internet to see other options…..and there are hundreds…and my wonderful oldest child is a voracious internet cancer warrior in her own right ferreting out many options.





Cancer I will not dance with you even if I know your name…Chapter two

So December was a month of fun holiday events but there was this odd feeling and rushing in my head so when January 2012 came, I called Dr. Chaudhari’s office and they said he would call back…oops….that did not happen and a week later, I called his answering service to ask the real question “how do I get a very busy doc to see me”….their magic answer worked  ” go to the ER and he will come”….woo hoo it worked and in the meanwhile, a very compassionate hospitalist (kewl name for the doc they assign to you when you walk in) said words the made me cry for the first time in this odd experience “let’s find out what wrong with you…..”  I was totally on board with that and after an MRI it was found that I had a tumor (later called gliosarcoma)  and Dr. Chaudhari came in and removed most of that sucker…..but tumors are evil and they leave evil cancer cells so now the fight begins….redheaded dancer against gliosarcoma…..stay tuned for more episodes….
