Cancer does not just happen to one person. It enters a home, a marriage, a love story.
When my husband was diagnosed, life as we knew it changed in an instant. Fear crept in. The future became uncertain. Suddenly, we were not just husband and wife. We were warriors in a battle we never chose.
But what we didn’t know then was that this journey wouldn’t just be about fighting cancer. It would be about rediscovering life. We would find strength in unexpected places. We would witness the miracle of healing—one that is still unfolding.
And, as we recently learned, it would also be about uncontrollable fits of laughter over the strangest things.
The Moment Everything Changed
The phone rang on a Friday evening. The words on the other end sent a chill through me.
“You have cancer.”
In that moment, fear gripped me. My heart sank, my stomach twisted, my mind raced. But at the same time, deep down, I knew—something had been wrong for a while.
He had been more tired than usual. He had been changing in ways I couldn’t quite explain. The pain had settled in, unspoken but ever-present.
And then, the oncologist’s prognosis:
“36 months. Maybe more, maybe less.”
But in my husband’s mind? No.
“She doesn’t know me.”
This was not a countdown. This was not the end. This was a challenge—one that he intended to overcome.
And he wanted others to know—he is 70 years old. He is still undergoing treatment and still healing. He is living proof that it is possible.
A Third Presence in Our Marriage: Cancer
Cancer has not just affected his body. It has become a third presence in our marriage.
It sits between us at the dinner table. It whispers in our quiet moments. It lingers in the background of every plan, every conversation about the future.
At first, my role shifted—I was no longer just his wife. I became his caregiver, his researcher, his unwavering support. And while I would do it all again in a heartbeat, the weight of it has been immense.
But what neither of us realized at the time was that we were not powerless.
We had choices. We had tools. And we had homeopathy.
Homeopathy: The Unexpected Lifeline
We didn’t turn to homeopathy as a last resort. We turned to it as a lifeline.
At first, he was skeptical. But he trusted me. As we learned more, we realized that homeopathy was not here to replace his conventional treatment. It was here to support him through it.
And that’s exactly what it continues to do.
It allows him to tolerate chemotherapy better than anyone expected.
It minimizes his side effects.
It gives him back his strength, his energy, his appetite.
And most importantly—it keeps him free from pain.
While others struggle to keep food down, he is eating. While others are bedridden, he is moving, living, defying expectations.
But more than anything, homeopathy gives us hope.
The Miracle of His Healing
The first signs were subtle.
A little more energy in the mornings. Less fatigue after chemo. The ability to still enjoy a meal.
Then came the milestones:
A scan confirming the words we long to hear: “stable” and “shrinking.”
His doctor added a note to his chart. The note says: “Patient will be riding his motorcycle along the Cabot Trail in June.”
The simple but profound reality—he is not in pain.
And, in what will forever be known as one of the funniest moments of this entire journey, this particular milestone nearly had to be rewritten—because as my husband was proofreading this blog, he suddenly stopped and said:
“Wait. You wrote that I’ll be riding the Cabot Trail. What if people think I’m on a horse?”
This thought—completely out of nowhere—sent us into uncontrollable laughter. Tears. Gasping for breath. A moment so purely joyful that for those few minutes, cancer didn’t exist.
And that? That is healing.
Because it’s not just about treatments, remedies, or scans. It’s about the moments that remind you that life, in all its ridiculous beauty, is still happening.
The Remedies That Support His Journey
Through it all, homeopathy remains a constant source of support.
🌿 Ferrum Phosphoricum (6X) – Helps with energy levels, inflammation, and reducing post-chemo fatigue.
🌿 Symphytum Officinale (6CH) – Supports his body’s ability to heal from internal damage. This damage is caused by both the illness and the treatment.
🌿 Thuja Occidentalis (started at 30CH, now in 200CH in water) – This is his constitutional remedy. It strengthens his overall health and resilience.
🌿 Carcinosinum Colon (1M) – Addresses the deep emotional and hereditary patterns related to his cancer diagnosis.
🌿 Nux Vomica (30CH) – Helps manage stress and digestive issues caused by the treatments.
And through this journey, we are never alone.
Our long talks with our homeopathic team at the OCHM clinic remain just as essential as the remedies themselves. Healing is not just about medicine—it’s about being heard, being guided, and being supported.
A Renewed Joy for Life
Cancer takes many things. But what it has never taken from him is his spirit.
💛 He is still planning trips.
💛 He has taken on new hobbies.
💛 He is riding his motorcycle. (Yes. Motorcycle. Not horse.)
💛 He is still dreaming about the future.
And in the most beautiful way, he has taught me to do the same.
Because we are not just getting through this.
We are living.
