Madonna Scott (recent photo) shares her story this week with valuable tips that worked during her healing process.

My Story
By Madonna Scott

Proud to say that I have been cancer free for 5 yrs and have also completed the required rounds of anastrozole medication during that time.

Originally, I found a small pea-sized lump in my right breast when I was lying flat on my back after a dreadful car accident.
The resulting stress, PTSD, x-rays, doctors visits, chiropractors, all took a "bite out of me".

01/06/15, was the date etched in my mind-of when my biopsy was completed. Surgery came in March 2015 and had finished 16 radiation treatments by May 2015. My birthday in May that year was celebrated by bringing birthday cake for the radiologists.

I am grateful for the remarkable team at Cambridge Memorial Hospital and the Kitchener Cancer Clinic. I also want to thank HopeSpring for taking care of me with the Look Good Feel Better program, the Yoga Meditation and amazing Reiki.

Madonna's Updates: I was so impressed by the Reiki Practitioner, that when I moved back home, I studied Reiki 1 and Reiki 2, so that I may return the favour and give free reiki sessions to other women recovering from cancer. "It is so rewarding to give back!  Reiki rocks!" 

"My recommendation is self-check, that's how I found that "C" and because it was found in the early stages, was able to get it out of me so quickly."

"Self check is key to survival".

Sincerely Madonna
Try-Reiki for healing

When You Should See a Community Dietitian?
Cancer and cancer treatment can affect your appetite (when you do not have a feeling of hunger or interest in food). You may also have questions about what you should eat.
Talk to your health care team about any trouble you have eating (e.g. upset stomach, trouble swallowing) or if it becomes harder to eat.

A Registered Dietitian has training in food and nutrition. A Registered Dietitian will work with you to make a plan that fits your goals and lifestyle.
