Two years ago today I was getting out of the hospital after having surgery for a neuroendocrine pancreatic tumour.
About a week later I received my biopsy results which revealed that they had found cancer but had successfully removed it during the surgery. Kind of like the worst and best moment at once. A huge sense of relief and then waves of guilt over that I had it too easy compared to other people who had had cancer.
Such a weird thing to choose suffering over being grateful in this moment when you’re one of the lucky ones. I spent the next few months in significant pain recovering from the surgery. Physically it was bad but mentally much worse. Sleeping two hours a night, night sweats almost nightly, no workouts and the stress of putting my coaching practice on hold.
It did give me a lot of time to think about this whole being grateful vs suffering thing that I was experiencing which I could now see popping up in so many areas of my life. I struggled with this conversation for quite a while but eventually it started to shift my perspective around my purpose, relationships, well-being, money, ego and how I was showing up everywhere.
I started to develop a much more powerful relationship to manifestation, spirit and being more responsible for my energy leaks much more consistently.
I am coming through the most intense period of my own growth over the last 8 months which had been a major shit show in a few moments, lol but mostly an incredible journey that’s brought amazing people and opportunities my way and gearing up for an adventurous 2019.
Earlier this week I had my routine CT scan I do every six months to monitor any changes, which have come back clear. Shoutout to all the staff, nurses and doctors @thepmcf and United Health Network family in Toronto for the incredible work they do. Forever grateful!
I barely think about that experience anymore. It just doesn’t have any energy but was reminded by a friend this week that maybe I should. From the perspective of gratitude and that if you can overcome this than everything else is always within reach. 🖤🖤🖤
