When Cancer Takes the Backseat: A Win for Homeopathy

When cancer enters a family, it doesn’t come quietly. It doesn’t just affect the person diagnosed—it seeps into every corner of life. It touches the spouse, the sibling, and children. It moves in slowly, but completely, until it becomes the center of gravity. Everything begins to orbit around it—appointments, moods, mealtimes, even dreams.

Even when the scans start showing good news—even when the tumour shrinks or stabilizes—the emotional impact doesn’t just vanish. Cancer changes everything. It wears people down, quietly and persistently, until joy becomes cautious, and the future feels blurry. It doesn’t only go after the body—it goes after your place in the world.

But something changed this week.

My husband went on a motorcycle trip along the Cabot Trail with my two brothers—his brothers-in-law—and our nephew. They called themselves Three Brothers and the Kid. The stories trickling back have described lobster eaten the same day it was caught, chowder by the sea, ocean fog, and matching t-shirts. They mentioned plaid flannel, laughter, and freedom. It’s been a real adventure for all of them.

And though he hasn’t even come home yet, I see something in him. We’ve talked every night over video. And I swear—I see the shift. His attitude is different. His eyes are bright again. His personality—his full, pre-cancer self—is back. It’s incredible. It’s subtle but unmistakable. The way he talks. The jokes he’s making. The energy in his voice. It’s like a light’s been switched back on.

For the first time in nearly two years, cancer is no longer the focus.

And that’s when I realized: my husband is not living with cancer anymore. The cancer is living with him.

He’s still receiving treatment. He’s not a surgical candidate. But the cancer is well managed—through chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and—most powerfully—homeopathy.

Homeopathy has been our anchor through all of it. It hasn’t just helped with the side effects or the exhaustion. It’s helped him hold on to his self. It’s kept his system resilient, his mind calm, and his spirit open to joy. It’s helped preserve the deeper parts of him when so much was being threatened.

We’ve used it alongside every other treatment. And I truly believe it’s helped make this moment possible—the moment where he feels like himself again.

And the cancer? It’s no longer in charge.

It’s hanging off the back of the motorcycle, helmet slipping over its eyes, clinging on awkwardly. Still there—but no longer the driver.

That ride gave him something back. And I’ll never forget what it gave me: the joy of seeing him again. Alive, vibrant, and full of life.

So here’s to ocean air, plaid shirts, and roads that heal.
Here’s to the tumor riding backseat.
And here’s to homeopathy—for helping us get to this place.
