Cancer Tamer

Cancer may change your body, your looks, and shatter your self-confidence
BUT, it doesnā€™t define who you are!


Have just been diagnosed with cancer?

You will be frightened and scared.
You will be bombarded by people telling you to ā€œfightā€ and destroy it.
Yet, they donā€™t realize that cancer is not an ā€œoutside force invading,ā€ it is an ā€œinside force residing.ā€
Cancer can be in our blood, our breasts, our DNA and when we attempt to destroy it, we inadvertently destroy a part of ourselves along the way. We have to find a better way to deal with cancer because we should not be at war with our body.

STOP the war against our bodies

We can all be that beautiful mermaid no matter what breast cancer throws at us.
Letā€™s STOP the war against our bodies. It's a battle we can never win.
Instead, let's educate ourselves and find healthier ways to live with cancer and the fear of its possible recurrence.
