A woman is shocked to learn that her “benign” lump is a stage two cancerous thyroid gland, and endures the added distress of hypothyroidism while she undergoes treatment.
But imagery helps her enormously. Here are her own words:
“Hi -- a little more than a year ago, I was wheeled into surgery for what we all thought was a routine removal of a benign lump on my thyroid. But when I came out of that surgery, it was without a thyroid and with the designation "cancer survivor,"
That "benign" lump was actually a malignant tumor, stage two. The shock of that, not to mention the severe hypothyroidism I had to endure during treatment in the weeks following the surgery was miserable. I'd never been so tired or in so much pain in my life.
A friend recommended the "cancer pack" and the vivid imageries, visualizations and guided meditations helped enormously.
For periods after listening to the program, I had enough energy to function and was even able to keep a positive outlook (for the most part) throughout the process.
Thank you for the wonderful program -- I'm going to order the relaxation programs shortly to deal with excess stress in my life. God bless.
