My Experience with Breast Cancer

"Breast cancer" a dreaded phrase among us women. How many of us have gone through this terrible disease thinking why me? We become victims without knowing that the ones responsible are us and how we manage emotions. After 6 years of treatment, thanks to La Enseñanza, courses on the Body’s Voice and thanks to La Jardinera I have come to understand why it happened to me.

I have thought about this time and time again, going back to me childhood, over everything I lived to find the bottled feelings which lead me to this disease. Resentment, anger, not being willing to forgive, all these feelings that were inside me, poor girl, her father left her, in my subconscious, it was there. The first mistake we can make is to not fight and abandon ourselves. We always have to keep our faith and look ahead.

During the years after my surgeries, I have been interested in learning about specific cases of women with breast cancer and I have seen that the majority have been the result of women who have suffered a loss of a loved one such as a son or daughter, husband and who have not accepted that loss. Or they have been wives with problems with macho husbands, or unhappy marriages. Everything fits into the patterns, breast cancer can be prevented.

Here is my story, the beginning of an experience that changed my life and allowed me to recognise myself and be able to transform:

Around 2001 one night I felt a strong, stabbing pain in my right breast that broke my routine. The next day I had a dent, like seeing a piggy bank. I no longer thought about it, I went to the doctor who immediately gave me the order to have the famous mammogram, the most uncomfortable and painful exam I have ever had. My husband went with me and we waited for a same day result. The radiologist came out, repeated the exam and in the meantime I was already a little restless.

Finally they gave me the result, my doctor was waiting for me with the news: breast cancer, a tumor of approximately 2 cm in size, we must operate as soon as possible, a radical mastectomy. Meaning, remove the tumor with all the mammary tissue.

I didn't second guess, I had to undergo the surgery which for me was a hope for life. That same week I underwent surgery. On the days before the surgery, my thoughts had turned to some workshops of Neural Stimulation we had taken with my husband. I remembered and expressed the thoughts as they came, if I had done those treatments maybe this wouldn't have happened to me, but “would” does not exist and there I was regretting my situation.

I entrusted myself to Pedro de Bethancourt, to the Blessed Virgin, I asked with all my heart for a healing, an opportunity of life. When I underwent surgery, the tumor measured 1 cm, not two; one of the most aggressive types of cancer, according to what I was told, but it was encapsulated, neither the mammary tissue nor the nodes had been affected. So the post-surgery treatment was a complete blocking of hormones, no radiation or chemotherapy, I was 45 years old. I then began to practice the learned Technique (Neural Stimulation) to help my recovery, it became my day to day. Doing the exercises for my right arm, which ran the risk of becoming immobile if I didn't do them and the treatment for 6 years with some pills.

We started with my husband to get involved in the Association Manos Sin Fronteras, we took the courses again and felt the need to help, there was a volunteering and we started. We did treatments, we invited people to the courses, we became Trainers, our daughters also took the courses, I continued to apply the technique and to notice spectacular results, in fact I had an attack of kidney stones, which applying a single treatment when I was with an immense pain, almost to the point to have another operation, with 5 min. 5 min! that my husband made me the treatment in the centre of pain, after about half an hour the pain was totally gone and the next morning I eliminated three little stones.

Thanks Jardinera that you put this knowledge in our hands, which has helped me as well physically as emotionally, allowing me to see myself and accept myself as a human being with many weaknesses, but with qualities too, which has allowed me to help other people in many non material ways.

I have learned a lot and in the sunset of my life, I can only thank the Universe for the opportunity I was given, of showing me my mission and putting me on the right path to follow it, not staying a victim, without thinking of myself as a "survivor", poor one, she had cancer. No! I have never considered myself a survivor, I consider myself a person who was given the opportunity to close cycles, to learn how to live life in a different way. To be free, setting free the people I love most in life, my husband and my daughters. To understand that they are not "mine" that each one has a free soul and is looking for its own happiness.

That I was the cause of this cancer and that if I didn't accept and transform my feelings it would come back. Today I can say that the fight has been difficult but I have gained some ground, no one said it was easy, the road is still long.
