RADIOTHERAPY

The text book's dogma:
see, I am categorised - it is
what they decree, not I.

Sentence is passed. I am to be
a lifer, it seems.
And that life is unthinkable.

Such cursed fear,
of living with bone damage,
lung atrophy, tissue loss, pain.

Pre cancer days, I crave your return -
through a window in time, to wholeness.
Oh I cannot, will not submit...


Recovering with my son...in my own way! I have decided to refuse radiotherapy and drug therapy, as I believe the side effects far outweigh the benefits. 
Please wish me luck...xxx

  12. Dearest Baili...oh thank you for your beautiful, kind thoughts and words...with all my heart.
    I appreciate your precious friendship more than mere words can express.😊😊
    It has been a difficult decision to make. I have had a severe reaction to the dermabond glue they used when I had my operation, and it is so painful and inflamed. So I can imagine how much worse it would be to have radiotherapy, along with all the long term and permanent side effects.
    So I have decided to refuse it and take the chance that the cancer may return.
    If nothing else, this experience has taught me to really appreciate life and to be grateful for everything.
    I'm certain it has all happened for a reason. And I am comfortable with that.😊😊
    Thank you again, my dear Friend!

    All my love and hugs xxx

  14. I completely understand your decision. There are many routes back to wellness. It's just unfortunate that so many people have only faith in the allopathic route for so many conditions, often with a very high "price tag" attached, in terms of their true well being and future. I wish you the best people, advice and way forward in your ongoing journey Ygraine. You are a special person. You deserve the best.

    Sending healing thoughts and energy your way. Hugs, Geraldine💟💟💟

    Thank you again, dear Friend, so much!😊😊

    Lots of love and hugs ❤❤❤
