My name is Emi, and I have cancer.

 
I never thought about what I would do if I had one. I had my dream job and my beloved family, so I had everything that I needed to be successful.
​
One day, it just came out of the blue. I had my yearly medical appointment, and my doctor told me, "Just in case, you should do a biopsy to roll it out."
And then, I received the call with the news: "The biopsy result came back, you have cancer."
And what I knew as my life turned down. I faced a new reality where:
​I felt lost.
and
​I felt alone.
​
It took me a while to realize what was happening.
​
And I was a mom, and I had my responsibilities.
​
Pretty soon, I understood that if I didn't help myself, I wouldn't be able to care for anyone.
And I made the first step. I had chemotherapy.
 
Then, I had surgery, radiation, and surgery again. I was back on chemotherapy, surgery, and lymphedema, and I  just kept going for years. My cancer is part of my life.

​ At the beginning of my treatment, I started to look for answers, knowing that I was my best friend and that no one could advocate better than myself. 

Did I succeed? Yes, I did. Why am I so confident about it? Simple: because I am here with you today.
​
But, I realized I was not the only one with that experience. And I know that I am not alone anymore because We, the cancer patients, are millions over the world.
 
So, I decided to put it into practice and help others experience that time with fewer challenges.
                               I am Here, and I am one of You!
​
I'm not here to heal you, and I am not here to assess or label you, nor be the EXPERT on Your Case. YOU ARE.
​
Instead...
 
I am here to help you decide what you want without any judgment and to help you plan and execute it while positively motivating you every step of the way.
​​
I will guide you to claim your power of expertise regarding your health and find your new life balance while living with cancer.
​​​​
As I mentioned, you are the expert on your health and wellness. But there is a certain self-awareness, self-management, and self-discipline you can learn to follow during your cancer journey.
 
However, changes in behaviors that accompany them are also challenging to implement practically, especially when you have cancer. It is NOT your fault if you feel exhausted mentally and physically if you feel drained without any motivation if you feel that there is no need if you think that you betrayed your family or they didn't understand you anymore.
 
Like everything, there is a process. And you have Me, and I have your back.
