This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with Shari Hall Smith and learning more about her inspirational story.
I may blush when I say the name BUT I do wear my bracelet proudly
Shari's story from https://gotballz.org/
Over the 25 years I have navigated cancer I was determined to go beyond surviving to thriving. The first time I was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 36, just engaged to be married. My doctor’s advice of surgery, 6 months of chemotherapy followed by 5 years of tamoxifen only changed my prognosis by 5% and it would have greatly reduced any chance of having children. I underwent the surgery and chose a holistic and alternative adjunctive therapy to improve my immune system. My husband and I are blessed to have our two daughters and grateful everyday that I made those choices.
My second diagnosis was 22 years later with metastasized breast cancer and a prognosis of no cure. My extensive research and decisions that included refusing some conventional options led me to creating a plan best for my life style, my quality of life and for me! What I found along the way is that my overall health improved and my long term autoimmune disorders either disappeared or the medication has been decreased to handle the symptoms. I have never felt better!
Knowledge is power! Use this information to gather options that enable you to make well informed decisions about your own individual treatment plan.
Best,
Shari
