The name is LiSa. The age is 28. I have loving parents and an incredible immediate and extended family. My husband is the best thing that ever happened to me. I love to decorate anything from a room to a piece of paper to a cookie or a cake. I adore my puppy Marli. I am a therapist to adolescent boys with psychiatric issues. I love hearts, candles, and veggies. I love to smile! It makes me happy to be around children. Naturally, I love to shop! I have fantasies about changing the world. Im always thinking about what I could do next before Im finished with whatever Im working on. So, why am I here you ask? Im eager to share my experience with being diagnosed with the big C. Yup that dreaded horrific disease that is way too prevelent these days....cancer. I have stage IV melanoma. The journey began with the "big guys" in the white coats over at places like Sloan Kettering. They meant well and tried to help me but unfortunatley they just dont have the answer. I followed the windy turns of which ever direction the path wanted to take me and I wound up on the holistic, all natural route. It kinda just happened.... and boy, am I happy it did. I feel good for the most part and am seeing some amazing results. More than anything I am learning so much. For a girl who hated science class I just want to throw my self in the books and absorb everything. I wish I could dive inside my body or anyone's for that matter and just get a tour to see how everything works. This blog is my outlet to share with whoever is intersted in reading about my experiences and what I have learned on this long windy journey. I, firsthand, am experiencing the bullshit in the world of cancer and want to help others understand all the hidden and incredibly helpful facts about cancer. Yes... I still have cancer and am not sure how things will turn out. But I do know that changes in my nutrition and lifestyle alone have made a dent more so than any drug that was given to me by the "big guys." Welcome to my outlet! Read at your leisure...



LoVe, STreNgtH, and sMilEs,



LiSa
