Facing an uncertain future. Support Michelle's recovery from Aggressive Metaplastic Breast Cancer

  • POST SURGICAL UPDATE

      11 December 2024

    I met with my surgeon recently and he was surprised by the biopsy. My cancer had changed from an agressive metaplastic to a non specific invasive cancer. Still present in the body but the tumour and some lymph nodes removed. Healing from the surgery and then making a house move into my new home in Papamoa has been very tiring. The immense pressure was eased so much by special friends and family who supported me hugely in my recovery and my move.

    The coming seasons will see me taking one day at a time to continue to heal at a deeper level. I have reached a point where I need to simplify more, take rest and sleep often. I cant tell you how healing it is to be in my own home after so so many years. Personally I have accomplised so much all considering, yet I have worried that I might not have what it takes to conquer this. There is always a lot more going on behind what one may assume. Its hard to go public with all the details and appointments and not necessarily appropriate. Keeping the focus on my healing has taken alot out of me and it is time to rebuild my strength from my new home. My smile is still radiant on some days!! So the next few seasons will be focussed on deeper recovery to clear the cancer.

    Furthermore, collectively your balm of love and compassionate care helped me enormously through a very challenging time. Especially the language of support, help and generosity you each delivered. Once again supreme gratitude. Amore and Grace xx

  • THE A TEAM

    Its been two weeks since my breast surgery and tumour removal, recovery is surprisingly going well thanks to a collective of individuals. Optimum healing is a result of the intimate supportive care and attentive loving intentions from dearest friends, as well as, a temporary blissful restful home with a serene bamboo garden lounge, which has allowed me to rest and sleep in peaceful luxury. Likewise, the community of soul family that have delivered their financial generosity alongside love bomb words that have spoken sunshine to my heart. All reminders of the wonderful people I have the pleasure to know and have worked with. You too are part of my healing journey.

    These seasons I'm in are an unfamiliar identity alteration. It's a very strange role to surrender and let go of self-control to the depth I've encountered. However at the core of my cancer journey is owning my station of where I am at and practising deep self love and self care. Meanwhile owning the courage to confront and face what is best for me. So I will be seeing my surgeon in a week to discuss further treatment to complement my integrative therapies. Coming up will be a new home!

    Amore and Grace Michelle

    Hi everyone Michelle is through surgery and resting. The team from anaethetist, nurses, and surgeons were incredible and she felt well listened to and very connected with. This morning when the surgeons came by she said ' Oh my goodness I have both of you, I am so excited about that'.

    She wishes to acknowledge all of the donors with supreme gratitude. She has been humbled and overwhelmed by the generosity and beautiful messages.
