My mother died from cancer at the age of 69 after dealing with it on several occasions for about 20 yrs. I was diagnosed with my first occurrance 3 yrs after she died and while she was alive, she also did not know she had passed the gene on to me. Esp with this past experience I had with stage I, chemo, etc...I have noticed several "signs" leading me to make the "right" choices and I am pretty sure, these signs were from her.
This would be my mind-body experience.
