Lisa Reiter
Hi, I’m Lisa and in 2000, aged 34, I was diagnosed with terminal sarcoma and given less than 6 months to live. After floundering around getting my head around cancer not being as curable as the adverts of the time were suggesting, I delved into an unknown and for me, a then uncomfortable world of 'alternative' therapies.
I'm now 51 and still here. As my oncologist said at one point, I'm an 'experiment of one' which means no scientist would like to draw conclusions! However, I am far from alone in getting success from looking to diet and mind-body techniques to help my body to do its own healing. I’m writing my story for anyone who wants some inspiration or understanding of what being in this situation is all about. Writing it is slow going so I'm using this blog to keep me company as well as discuss the challenges of writing about it all.
If I manage to inspire just one person to feel a bit more in control of their own situation, it will all have been worthwhile.

Thanks for the links Lisa. I know I, for one, could do with a better brain. Maybe I just need to exercise it more! 🙂

I will check this out! I shared with my friend Kate about chemo brain because it flustered her to not be able to grasp words or finish thoughts. She had not heard the phrase before and it was both a comfort and a relief to give it a name. We can all use brain exercise, though. I’d like to think our brains have muscle memory and when we exercise, it returns like riding a bike.
