| Introduction | I have been living with a medical death sentence since January 2008 when I was diagnosed with glioma multiform blastoma stage 4 and told I had only a 10% chance of living two years. Writing this book has helped me clarify my beliefs; my belief in myself and in my understanding of the role of belief in healing and the beliefs that underpin both allopathic and alternative treatments. Often I have had to take my own advice. There have been times when I have been feeling sorry for myself or using my situation as an excuse and I have had to remember what I have written and live up to my words. I have come to realise my diagnosis is not a tragedy and my possible death is also not something to worry about. I have also come to believe I don’t need to conform to mortality statistics. You might find it hard to believe, but most days I don’t worry about having cancer or dying at all. |
